MARSHAL FIELD NO MORE
Millionaire Merchant Dead
--His Death Vas
Peaceful

New York, Jan. 17.--Marshall Field,
the millionaire Chicago merchant,
died at the Holland nouse at o'clock
yesterday afternoon after an eight
days illness Of pneumonia. Death
came peacefully while members of the
family who had been in almost con-
stant attendance for several days were
gathered around the deathbed They,
as we'll as the dying merchant him
self, were prepared for the end For
days they had been swayed between
hope and fear, but when the alarming
turn came yesterday after the remark
able rally Of the day before it was
recognized that the end had been only
briefly deferred. Those who were
present when the merchant died were
Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Marshall
Field. Jr., August N Eddy, Catherine
Eddy, Mrs. Henry Dibblee, John C.
Lincoln and Mrs. Preston Gibson.
The, ray Of hope which flashed to
the watchers Monday afternoon when
the seemingly dying man suddenly
rallied and for a time appeared to
gain strength was first displaced by
an announcement after the morning
consultation of the physicians yester-
day that Mr. Fields rest had been dis
turbed during the latter part Of the
night and when morning came It was
found that the Improvement of Mon,
dsy had not been maintained. From
that time until the end the approach
Of death was steady and irresistible.
BY noon the last atom of hope again
fed. At 2 o'clock word came from the
sick room that Marshall Field was
very low and the end was expected any
moment.

Marshall Field. who died last night
In New York. might be called a
model millionaire" He was not
only one OF those Americans that
ccnform to tie ideal Of those who re.
gard financial success as the greatest
success. but he was also a practical
philanthropist While he was deeply
Interested in numerous great corpor-
ations. II is reported OF him that he
always believed in paying to the state
his just share of taxes under the law.
The story Of Fields rise is that Of
so many other successful Americans.
He began as poor farmers boy on
an impoverished, down-east farm; TO-
day he IS the proprietor OF the largest
retail and wholesale dry goods house
in the world, and director in the
greatest corporations In America,
There has been so much attention
called lately in the public prints to
those high fnanciers~ who have
gained their great wealth through
such devious methods that they are
scarcely entitled to public respect,
that there rnay be danger Of the
growth of the idea that no man may
possess riches and be an ordinarily
honest citizen. The trouble is. we
hear 50 much about che dishonest mil
hionaires. whereas the overwhelming
of rich men who have gained
their money honestly and use 1t wisely
do not make so much noise in the
world. It Is we'll to expose the dishon-
est Croesus. like any other common
but 1t is also well to re-
member that the great fortunes in
this country are mainly in the hands
of those who won them honestly and
use them literally and wisely. AS a
class our millionaires viii show up for
character Just a little bit better per
haps than the millionaires Of any other
nation.

A nIsEAsE.
DEMOCRACY

A new disease has been discovered.
1t is the litigation" disease" A
noted Boston specialist in nervous dis
orders testified In court recently that
a plaintiff in damage case had the
obligation symptoms as he called
them, indicating a veritable nervous
disorder. 1t seems from his statement
that going to law may become an ac-
tual disorder. The doctor did not sug-
gest a possible cure for t. II is
probable that any operation, to be ef-
fective. would demand the removal Of
the patients brain itself The case
Of a man or a woman who Is forever
"lawing" IL a familiar one. Another
familiar nervous disorder somewhat
similar inspires many otherwise
worthy people with the h1lef that
they are the heirs Of large fortunes. or
have valid claims against the ground
upon which a great city stands.
The disease of going to law, how
ever. must be reckoned with the mono-
maniacs. It is like kleptomania. we
presume, or any other bad habit. For
eigners have stated that In their OBJ
servation American people as whole
are inclined to suffer from two other
diseases that have to do with the law.
The hrst of these. they say. is the
mania for making laws. The vast num-
Der OF freak bills introduced In eTers
session OF every legislature seems to
somewhat bear out this statement.
The other disease from which these
oDserVir-s foreigners say we suffer as
a aation is the tendency to disregard
laws after we have them made.
What we as a people need, they say,
Is to be inocula.ed with some virus
which will make us enforce those laws
which we alreaoy possess.
