HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE. His Son, Who Was In Bed With Him, Heard Him Groan, Put Out His Hand and Found That He Was Dead. Some of Field’s Achievements. CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—Eugene Field. the poet, died in his bed of heart failure to- day at his home in Buena Park. He retired last night in usual health and apparently slept soundly till daybreak, when his son, who occupied the room with him, heard him groan, and putting out his hand found that death had already taken ‘place. Mr. Field leaves a widow and five children. Mr. Field and Mr. Yenowine of Mil- waukee intended to start together for Kan- . sas City today, at which place Mr. Field was to read tonight. Eugene Field’s Career. Eugene Field was born in St. Louis in 1850. His father, Judge R. M. Field, acted as attorney for the plaintiff in the cele- brated “Dred Scott” case that did much to bring on the civil war. At an early age Field’s mother died, and he was sent to Williams college. At EUGENE FIELD. his father’s death, a short while later, he left Williams, spending a year or two in several western colleges. At the age of 21 he converted his fa- ther’s property into cash, and with about $70,000 started for Paris. In the gay French capital he lived the life of many young Americans on a holiday, with the- result that he returned home less than a year afterward, poor and obliged to work for a living. He has described his Euro- pean difficulties in a poem setting forth the lament of a man who was ”Broke In London In the Fall of ’89.” Returning to America, he became a re- porter on the St. Louis Morning Journal, a. few months later being promoted to the position of city editor. During his two years’ service on The Morning Journal Field began his career as a humorist and published some verses called the ”Bull- frogs’ Boom.” These verses were pub- lished as original by London Truth. His Work In Chicago. In 1887 Field went on theChicago News. It was there that his satirical writings first made Chicagoans Writhe and New Yorkers laugh. While Field’s clever newspaper feuille- , tons made him celebrated throughout the journalistic world he was not known to the general reading public until the ap- pearance, in 1891, of his two books, “A Little Book of‘ Western Verse” and “A Little Book of Profitable Tales.” While on The News Mr. Field’s column, “Sharps and Flats,” also kept up his rep- utation among journalists. In appearance Field was very tall, lean and awkwardly built. He had enormous feet, was slightly bald and clean shaven, reminding onlookers Somewhat of Bill Nye’s caricatures of himself. Field’s character in later years here out the promise given in youth, when he threw away his whole patrimony in a year’s dissipation. Throughout life he understood too well the use of money and too little of its value.' His wife was manager of the family exchequer, as the humorist was unable to take care of his own earnings. Frequent- ly money that should have paid insurance or household bills went for some trifle Field had set his heart on and had bought regardless of consequences. An Afl‘ectionate Parent. The humorist’s strongest trait was his love for his wife and boys. Both have been celebrated in numbers of his poems, and one child, whose death was Field’s bitterest grief, called forth his best known verses, “Little Boy Blue.” Here is the poem referred to: LITTLE BOY BLUE. The little toy dog is covered with dust, But sturdy and stanch he stands, And the little toy soldier is red with rust, And his musket molds in his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new And the soldier was passing fair, And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue Kissed them and put them there. “Now, don’t you go till I come, ” he said, “And don’t you make any noise.” So toddlin g off to his trundle bed. He dreamt of the pretty toys, And as he was dreaming an angel song Awakened our Little Boy Blue. Oh, the years are many, the years are long, But the little toy friends are true. Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand, Each in the same old place, Awaiting the touch of a little hand, The smile of a little face. And they wonder, as waiting these long years through ‘ In the dust of that little chair, What has become of our Little Boy Blue Since he kissed them and put them there. An Alarm Clock’s Fatal Work. NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—Pierre Lannobras, for three years an assistant chef at the Windsor hotel, was found dead in his bed. He had been asphyxiated by gas. The accidental swinging of the alarm clock, which hung upon the gas fixture, is sup- posed to have turned the stopcock and let the gas escape. Nerwalk, Conn. THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY. Canadians Erecting Fortifications Along the Disputed Territory. Pour TOWNSHEND, Wash. Nov. t.—‘-A party of miners from the headwatersoi the Yukon river has arrived from Univ laska and reports that the Canadian gov: ernment is establishing well equipped fortifications on commanding bluffs over: looking strategic points on Forty Mile creek and elsewhere along the supposad international boundary line. A large company of Canadian military police is busily engaged in exploring the country for mountain passes, both in Alaska and Canadian territory. The loop of Forty Mile creek runs into British tera ritory, and to reach the most valuable mines it is necessary for-American minor: to pass through a small portion of foreign territory. The river is very narrow, and the police have erected on the overtower‘ ing cliffs impenetrable fortresses which completely guard travel on the river. At several other points breastworks of stone have been erected. On the Whole, the ac' tions of the police would indicate that preparations are being made to accommo- date large squads of militia at various points along the boundary and partied: larly in the vicinity of the placer mines. However, the police are very kind toward American miners, rendering them every assistance possible and in many other ways bestowing small favors and endeav- oring to allay suspicion or unpleasant in- quiries as to the objects of such warlike preparations. In the entire area of country in the. British territory small detachments attlr‘ ed in citizens’ clothes have visited all im- portant mining camps reconnoitering the surrounding country. What their object was they would not state. On the British side are stationed customs and judicial officers, and a good system of municipal government is maintained. The miners br' the news that the country last sprin was flooded with fully 1,000 inexperienced men, who rushed into the mines and were bitterly disappointed, and now they predict that before‘ the ap- proaching winter is over much suffering will be experienced. There is not enough food in the mines to last through the win- ter. Last winter provisions ran short, and hundreds of miners became afilicted with scurvy, and three died. The miners have not been very successful this season, no big strikes being reported. FINANCIAL ANT) GOMEERGIAIL. Closing Quotations of the New York Stock Exchange.

A Coroner’s Conduct Criticised by an Ex-District Attorney. LAUGHTER AT THE INQUEST. While the Prisoner's Sister Was Dying the Coroner \Vas Fuming and Fusslng About—Hannigan’s Queer Moods Described by Witnesses. NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—David F. Hanni- gan, whose trial for the murder of Solo- mon H. Mann, the betrayer of Hannigan’s sister Loretta, has been going on in the court of oyer and terminer for ten days, appeared in rather more cheerful moodto- day when he was brought into court. Although he was as pale as ever, and although his checks were more sunken and the lines deeper than when he was first put on trial, his eyes were clearer than they have been for several days. His little wife and his gray haired fa- ther sat close behind him. The court room was well filled with the usual crowd of interested spectators. Before Justice Ingraham came into court Coroner Hoeber, who had been anx- iously awaiting his arrival, obtained pcr— , mission, to see the justice in his private chambers. ~ The little coroner came out tenminutes afterward looking not particularly happy and-hurried up stairs to his own office. Ex—District Attorney De Lanccy Nicoll was the first witness called today by Mr. Brooke for the defense. Mr. Nicoll said in answer to questions that he was present at the inquest on Loretta Hannigan by Coroner Hoeber on March 28. “There was very unusual and improper hilarity at the inquest,” said Mr. Nicoll. “There Were much laughing and disor- der.” ”Do you remember asking for a table at the inquest?” asked Mr. Brooke. Hilarity at the Inquest. “Yes, I remember that. I asked for a table for counsel. A large table was brought in and got stuck in the door, and that created laughter. The coroner be- haved so that there was a wordy war be- tween him and counsel, and that created unusual merriment. “There was altogether a remarkable de- gree of hilarity. The coroner was very familiar in his way of addressing the gen- tlemen who were there to represent the, defendants. ” Officer William Fullerton of the Twen- ty-third precinct was the next witness. He testified that he had known Hannigan for about four years. After Loretta Han- nigan’s death, the witness said, he noticed Hannigan several times. . He seemed very downhcarted. His manner was very different from what it had ever been before. The policeman said he saw Hannigan on a bicycle, and in answer to a question by Mr. McIntyre he made the remarkable statement that he considered riding a bi- cycle in the evening an “irrational act.” Mr. McIntyre made the statement to the reporters today that if Dr. Forbes Winslow of England is called by the de- fense as an expert in insanity the district attorney will show that the doctor is not the celebrated English alienist, but his son, and that the doctor here at this time w’cnt under another name several years ago, only assuming the name of Dr. Forbes Winslow comparatively recently. Frank W. Fay, a brother-in-law of the defendant, was called as the next witness. Hannigan’s Breeding. He testified that he met Hannigan on May 23 at the express Office at Seventh avenue and Thirty-eighth street, Where the witness is employed. Hannigan, on that occasion, asked him why so many wagons were lying idle on_ May l—“mov- ing day.” He seemed surprised when Fay told him it was May 23. Hannigan then began to talk about the failure of the district attorney to bring Solomon H. Mann to trial and said that he knew Mann would never be punished, as he had $500,000 behind him to keep him from being convicted. On cross examination Fay said he had known Hannigan for ten years, and that until May 23 he had never seen him in a saloon. Adolph Houck, a real estate agent of 137 West Ninety-sixth street, was next called to the witness stand. He testified that he had known Hannigan for a num- ber of years, and until last March the prisoner had always been pleasant in manner and businesslike in his dealings. In March and April last he said he met Hannigan and found him greatly chang- ed. Ho talked at random and could not or would not give intelligent answers to questioners. Hannigan’s manner, he said, was that of a nervous, excited man, who was unable to keep his attention fixed up- on one subject for any length of time. Mark Levy, a real estate agent, who had desk room in Hannigan’s plumber shop, testified that Hannigan’s. conduct had greatly changed after the death of Loretta and that he was gloomy and dis tracted thereafter and did not attend properly to his business. .

ALBANY, Nov. 5.——A small printing of- fice has been set up in the ofi'ice of the regents at the capitol, consisting of two typesetters and a hand press, through the use of which it is hoped to prevent sus- piciously high percentages which certain candidates in past examinations have ob- tained.
