LAST FIELD BROTHER DEAD.
Rev. Henry VI, Author and Pastor,
Passes Away ut StOckbridge.

Stockbridge, Mass, Jan 26--Rev. Dr.
Henry Martin Field, last Of the famous
Field brothers-Cyrus W, Stephen J., and
David Dudley-died here this morning,
after an illness Of several weeks. Death
was due 20 a general breakdown incident
to old age.
The Fields composed one Of the most
famous families in America, and their
ancestry goes back through a long line
Of men who helped build this country into
the great nation it is to-day. They we're
descendants of Zachariah Field. who IN
1881 landed at Plymouth Colony. large
family was born to him, and in the affairs
Of church and state the name Of Field
was known almost from the beginning
of New England. They gathered and
multiplied until there was born in Madi-
son. Conn. David Dudley Field, the
father of David Dudley, lawyer and au-
thor: Stephen Johnson. judge Of the Su-
preme Court: Cyrus W. originator and
promoter of the Atlantic cable, and Henry
Martin. editor, pastor. journalist. and au-
thor. Besides these there were three
other brothers and three daughters, one
of whom is the mother of Justice Brewer,
of the Uni.ed States Supreme Court.
The elder Field was a scholarly man,
who himself attained some prominence as
a clergyman in the Congregational Church
and as an author of historical and theO-
logical works. His wife was a woman OF
fine New England family, who was also
fond of books and learning, and with the
love of these things in the parents was
the true love of the children who were
born to them. The little ones were not
neglected for learning on the part Of their
elders. and despite the size of the family,
they were all brought up in AN atmos-
pheTe Of strict PUritanism and clear intel
lectUal learning.
All the boys save Cyrus were given
thorough college education. and as soon
as they had finished with book learning
they set out to ramble around and browse
in whatever corners of the earth best
suited them.

the President in dismissing the negro
troops at Brownsville.
Mr. Sims bad only ten minutes to dis
cuss the subject. In the performance Of
executive duty, Mr.. Sims declared, it was
necessary TO do things that might seem
harsh. For instance ne said il would be
perfectly just and legal for the authorI-
ties to quarantine an entire regiment II "a

Mr.. Sims said he intended 10 call up his

the decline Of Chicago as "A wheat center
to become truly the windy city or op-
lions" The real wheat markets of the
country. he said. were at Omaha, Mime
apolis. and Duluth. and he said the want
of information displayed by the gentle
man from Illinois indicated that he
lived in the past" That part Of the
paragraph providing for the issuing Of
certificates as to the quality Of grain was
stricken out

point in the bill where the appropriation
for the distribution of seeds was the next
matter of business. and il rose for the

over.

Presumably fearing that some lawyer

inspection provision tackled on to the agrl-
cultural appropriation bill last year was
not permanent legislation. the House re-
enacted the provision without dissent
ing voice The only change was the in
sertion Of word so as to authorize the
Secretary of Agriculture hereafter to
Inspect meats and meat products.
What might be taken as a test vote on
the free-seed proposition came over a
motion TO adjourn. The free-seed advO-
Gates wanted a vote on their amendment,
which had been reached, but adjournment
was carried 70 TO SO.
The item of $4,000 for the erection OF

ton of 5000 for horse breeding expert
ments was cut In two.
