Vided for the museum, without cost to 1T,
lands which shall be satisfactory to the

reach the age of %, 80, 80. 40 and IS.
The executors of the viii are the Mer-

of Mr. Field, and Arthur B. Jones, who
has for many years been Mr.. Fields
secretary and confidential man.
The business of Marshall Field & Co is
to be maintained as portion Of the res
tduary estate.
Total Value Unknown.
Because of the failure to file a petition
for the appointment of administrators,
the value of the estate was not furnished
TO the court and even the executors them
selves are not able at this time to esti-
mate It with accuracy. The failure to
file the petition with the bill is because
of the great extent of the property held
by Mr.. Field and because much time viii
be required for its appraisement. 1t Will
probably be several weeks before the pro-
bate court is officially Informed Of its
value.
