Not that she is to marry the other partner of the firm, but because of her ability to handle the business. She worked for the firm during the past year. The position is offered her and if taken will.be run in her name.”

Marshall Field Goes Down Before the Assault of Pneumonia After Eight Days' Illness. New York, Jan. 17. Marshall Field, the great Chicago merchant, died at the Holland House at 4 p. m. yesterday, after an eight days’ illness of

MARSHALL FIELD.

pneumonia. Death came peacefully, while members of the family who had been in almost constant attendance for several days were gathered around the death bed. For days they had been swayed between hope and fear, but when the alarming turn came after the remarkable rally of Monday It was recognized that the end had been only briefly deferred. Those who were present wnen the merchant died were Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr., Augusta N. Eddy, Catherine Eddy, Mrs. Henry Dibbles. Robert T. Lincoln and Mrs. Preston Gibson. An outline of the funeral arrangements has been decided upon. The body was started to Chicago this morning in a special train. There was no service of any sort in this city. It is planned to hold the funeral services in Chicago at a date to be fixed, either from the Field residence in Prairie avenue or from the First Presbyterian church, whose pastor, Rev. Dr. Morrison, will in either case be the officiating clergyman. Marshall Field was born at Conway. Mass., Aug. 18, 1835. At the age of ,17 he was employed in a general store at Pittsfield, Mass., as clerk. The proprietor of this store, as a friend, told Marshall’s father that he would never make a merchant —was not cut out for it. At the age of 21 Marshall Field came to Chicago, and proceeded to show how poor a prophet his old employer was. At his death he was one of the greatest merchants in the world, if not the greatest; his wealth Is estimated at 1200,000,000 which may or may not be an estimate worth anything, and his fortune, which at any rate Is very large, was all made as a merchant and all made at Chicago. His benefactions were large, those known reaching more than 91,250,000. Chicago, Jan. 17. Announcement Is made that Marshall Field’s successor will be bis brother, J. N. Field, of Manchester, England, who will take charge of all the Field housee. J. N. Field for years has been at the head of the Manchester branch of the Field business.
