This is one Of the questions the
long cross-bill filed in Chicago re.
Gently by the attorneys Of Captain
Marsh is intended to settle. Incl
dentally the cross-bill has been
drawn after months of preparation
by Elhu Root and John B. Stanch-
field, of New York, and John S.
Miller, of Chicago.
One Of the reasons given for the
filing Of the bill is that it is an at
tempt to forestall the claim of Mrs.
Peggy Marsh for her child, besides
being an effort on the part of Cap
tain Field to obtain possession of
the bulk of the estate.

the rest. Marshall Field emerged
from the bottom of the ladder to the
station of one of the richest men in
America, with huge interests all
over the world, and with a fortune
which even now can only be esti-
mated
During the Civil War he and his
associates made a small fortune
when the price of all merchandise
rose to great heights. Later he
gained entire control of the bust
ness, and the name of Marshall
Field Company became blazoned
over his store. At the same time
he began investing in real estate,
always obeying his maxim of pay
ing IN full. He was one of the
great believers in the business
growth OF Chicago, and all his be-
hefs were realized.
AS for his business, not even the
Chicago fire of 1871 could stop him.
over the ruins of his old store he
built still larger building, but the
actual business Of this establish
ment, which finally had transactions
on its books amounting to $751;
cOO,OOO annually, became only
small part of his interests. Mar
shall Field was one of the largest
stockholders in the Pullman Com
Iany. He also established factories
en- the British Isles and through
Europe. The strict business COM
piiances he demanded of his credit
css did much to help the whole
business tone of Chicago. If he was
cxacting in demanding payments he
was just as eXacting in the demands
he put upon himself. But it has
been said that Marshall Field never
needed loan.

Serrice Here and There

In spite of these diplomatic pro-
tcstations, however, one suspects
that the prince is beginning to dis
cover already that his own Happy
Valley has some advantages over
the highly complex civilization of
the Waldorf Astoria. There is the
matter of ice water, for example.
When the prince wants a drink, one
of his retinue or an army officer
or a reporter or anybody else that
is handy presses the button. Then

back to the days of the founding of
the town, whittier it is believed the
Fields journeyed from their first
holdings in Cape Cod. They had
been solid, hard working farmers, up
before dawn and working far into
the night, with all the strictness
and discipline that have always char
acterized New England. Young
Marshall had started on the farm
with the rest, had spent a boyhood
between the district school and the
land, with brief but pleasant inter
walls of recreation, when he fished
and hunted in the hills. Then in the
early sos his father decided on a
broader career for the boy, and sent
him into service with a merchant
friend in the town of Pittsfeld. To
look at the present Field fortune it
might be supposed that young Field
made an instant success, but such
was not the case.
One day Farmer John Field drove
into town, and, leaving Marshall be-
hind the counter wrapping I'D a
piece of calico, he drew the pro-
prietor to one side and inquired how
his son was getting along.

.frorse to Publicity

Modest and retiring always, Mar
shall Field had an aversion for pub.
llcity that amounted almost to
mania. In his whole career he never
gave an interview to the Chicago
newspapers. He was averse even to
having his picture appear in the pub
lie prints. Yet to-day the will OF
Marshall Field has come into the
limelight in one of the most inter-
esting legal questions in the history
of American probate.

Later he explained that the orig.

much embarrassment, as he feared
IN his courtly way that it was un-
gracious of him to express disap-

whirligig of events in these United
States the prince never fails to
observe the religious rites Of his
faith. He is a devout man, who not
only reads his Psalms every morn
ing for half an hour, but resorts
to the Bible for guidance in any per-
picking situations.
Nor is he lacking in sense Of
humor either, for the other day
when the perpetual rain prevented
the royal party from taking its usual
afternoon drive through the park, the
prince turned to the great Aramaic
Bible made of sheets of goatskin,
with hand-painted text, which Is
his constant companion. He opened
idly at the 104th Psalm. Then he
laughed aloud. The army officer got
out an American Bible and found
the corresponding verse:
"The sun ariseth; they gather
themselves together and lay them
down in their dens"
"Like u.s." chuckled his royal
highness, pointing to the rain.
By this time the prince was ready
for the interview. Two majestic
members Of the royal party had
waved US to the rose and gold
brocaded chairs, and the prince HIM
self, Hospitality unselfish, had taken
the piano stool.
"Tell us about your country" we
began, and the kantiba, in what
we could describe as true Asiatic
leisureliness, if only Abyssinia were
in Asia, began at the beginning.
Son OF the Wise
"Our country was ruled over by
Dido, Queen of Sheba," he said.
Hearing Of the great wisdom of
King Solomon, she travelled to his
city to visit him. They had a SON
Ben Hakim (son Of the wise), who
was Menelik /, and founded the
present Abyssinian dynasty. From
each Of the Twelve Tribes of Israel
one family was chosen, and these
twelve families were sent to Abys-
sinia to people the nation. Thence
comes the name, which means
mixed race. From the day of Meme
Xix down to this there has been an
unbroken line of rulers"
Bishop Darlington then helped
along the interview by explaining
that the Abyssinian Church was
likewise Of ancient origin, keeping
intact many Of the rites of the old
Jewish faith, although it is a
branch of the modern Greek Cath
Ole Church, under the patriarchate
Of Alexander. 1t was as a repre-
