LOST EYESICHT
Through Coffee Drinking

have been but few cases Of it's kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups Of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records Of the specialists OF this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case Is incurable. The fact that
makes the case a queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the doctors statement, the
young man will have to give up cof-
fee or the rest of his sight will fol.
low and the entire. nerve he ruinad.- ~

Washington, Jan. 24.--After con-
ference lasting all afternoon the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce agreed on rate
bill to be known as the Hepburn bill
and to be reported to the house with
the unanimous recommendation OF
the eighteen members of the com.
Mittee. In the main the bill Is the
original Hepburn bill, but number
of concessions were made to the dem
ocrats and their ideas as set forth In
the Davie bill were incorporated In
the new measure.
Mr.. Hepburn and the other repub'
licsns agreed to accept the wording
of the democratic bill in the provis'
ion for the fixing of maximum rate.
The amendment which was adopted
provides that the commission shall
fix reasonable, just and fairly re
munerative rate which shall be the
maximum rate.
r was maintained by the demo

wording the commission was author
lied to fix the highest of the reason

rates in case there were several such
rates. Chairman Hepburn and the
republicans do not believe there is
any difference in the two workings
but were perfectly willing to accept

MARSHALL FIELD WILL
IS MADE PUBLIC

Chicago, Jan. 26.-The will of Mar
shall Field has been filed in the office
Of the probate court of Cook county
In bulk it was a counterpart of the
size of the estate 1t bequeathed, being
the most extensive document of the
sort that has fallen into the hands Oh
the court.
The will, consisting Of $4,000 words,
makes disposition Of an estate that
doubtless exceeds $100,0o0,0oO, prob
ably reaches s12O,OO0,00O and may
go even to s150O00.o00.
No estimate was made of the valre
of the estate by the attorneys who
carried the will to court.
The document specifically provides
for the disposition of $25,29S,000, not
including the Field residence at 1905
Paris avenue and its contents, the
value of which is not estimated, and
which is left to the widow, Della Spen.
Ger Cation Field during her life. When
she dies the house and household ap.
purtenances will fall to Marshall Field
III.
In the grand total of $25,29s,000 is
included $4,000, an estimate, fol-
family servants who are provided for
in a general section.
Among the requests that of chief
public interest is gift Of $s,000,000
for building and endowment Of the
Field Museum of Natural. History.
When the specific gifts and be.
quests in trust and direct, reaching
above $25,000,0OO, are all made, some
to revert at the death Of beneficiaries,
there remains vast residuary estate,
estimated at from $75,000,0OOO to
$1OO,OOO,OO0, which is inherited by
the two sons of the late Marshall
Field, Jr. These are Marshall Field
III and Henry Field.
They receive the property, in an
elaborate trust, in this proportion:
Marshall Field, three-fifths; Henry
Field, two-ffths. The trustees of
this great residuary fund are Chaun-
cey Keep, Arthur B. Jones and the
Merchants Loan & Trust company.
The trust is not in any event to be
dissolved until the elder of the two
boys now IL years of age, Is so years
old.

Commerce Commission.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The question
Of regulating railroad rates occupied
practically all of the time of the SEN
ate yesterday Notwithstanding no
bill with that end in view has been
reported by the interstate commerce
committee. The discussion of the
subject was in connection with Mr..
Clay's speech, Messrs. Aldrich, Far
aker, Bailey and Newlands being the
principal participants in addition to
Mr.. Clay himself.
Mr.. Clay advocated the passage OF
bill which would give the interstate
commerce commission power to reg.
ulate rates when complained of, and
said If there was no legislation along
that line the country might count up.
on agitation Of the question Of gov.
eminent ownership. In that connec.
ton he referred to the large vote
given Mr.. Hearst in the late New
York municipal election as an indica.
ton Of the popularity of the munich
pal ownership of public utilities.
Mr.. Aldrich indicated purpose to
oppose such legislation as that out
lined, and declared that Mr.. Hearst
was the author Of the proposition TO
confer the rate making power on the
commission. He also took occasion
to declare that the signs of the times
point to the naming Of either Mr..
Hearst or Mr.. Bryan as the next can
didate, but when pressed to indicate
the probability in the republican
party he declined to make a predic-
ton, and also avoided answering a
question of Mr.. Bailey as to whether
the president would be candidate

In the Latin-American republic be-

well as the richest field Of investment
that now challenges the attention of
American capital and enterprise. On'y
"a few years since Mexico was looked
upon as country too remote for the
average traveller to entertain hopes of
crossing its threshold; to-day we are
told that on and after January 10th
its capital city will be but 60 hours

that date a semi-weekly train service
will be established, via the Iron
Mountain Route, the Texas and Pa
ciflc and the international and Great

Gould interest, and the National
Lines Of Mexico beyond the Laredo
Gateway" leaving St. Louis at 9 a. m.

will be equipped with compartment

and observation and dining cars. It's

long evidenced an enlightened appre-
citation Of the kindly interest of their
northern neighbors in their country
and its history, institutions and Won
derful resources. while on our part
there is an acknowledged recognition
Of the fact that closer social and
commercial relationship with that
progressive nation is in every way
desirable. The Inauguration Of this
new train service is step in the
right direction and meets the needs
of the hour. It is typical of the tire
less interest shown by the roads con-
cerned in the upbuilding of the great
