San Antonio, April 16,--"That

1t was, az well as the spirit to the
God who gave It, reads the Will OF
the late Dean Walker r. Richardson,
former rector OF st. Marks Episco-
pal church, In giving his reason FOR
asking that his body be not embalm-
ed, but II shall be enclosed In a
plain, wooden casket to the end that
the natural processes Of decay shall
be facilitated rather than be retard-

IL further stipulate most earnest-
ly that the burial shall not take place
until there are absolutely unmistak-
able evidences of actual death and
even decay, that ! may be spared the
horrors of an awakening In the
grave"

W. II. FIELD RESIGNS.
Treasurer of the Houston and Texas
Central Gives Up Active Work.

Treasurer of the Houston and Texas
Central Gives Up Active Work.
Houston, April William H.
Field. treasurer of the Houston and
Texas Central railroad, has resigned
owing to failing health. The resigna-
ton will become effective May 81,
after which time, 1t is reported, Mr..
Field will remove to Norfolk, Va.
With the resignation of Mr. Field
comes the passing of another OF the
old guard among Texas railroad men,
none of whom is better known, or
more highly respected by officials
and employees than Mr.. Field. His
failing health is a matter Of deep re-
greet to the men who have served
him faithfully during his association
of seven years with the Houston and
Texas Central.
Mr.. Field entered the service of
that road in March, 1902, as secre-
tary and treasurer, in which he ser
we'd until about year ago. when he
resigned the secretaryship of the
road, continuing as treasurer, until
a recent meeting Of the officials when
II is said, his resignation was accept
ed.
Mr.. Field succeeded Major e. w.
Cave as secretary-treasurer OF the
Central His resignation leaves a
gap in the ofiicial roster Of the com
pany but his successor has not yet
been decided upon. The most logical
man for the place seems to be Oscar
Longnecker, who is now serving as
chief clerk for Treasurer y. G. Cush-
man OF the Sunset lines
