(Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1599 ) Washington, April 2a. One of the most notable characters of -our tithe is the subject of Dr. Taimage’s •discourse, and the lessons drawn are inspiring. Text, 2 Samuel, 3:38: “Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?" Here is a plumed catafalque, followed »by King David and a funeral oration which he delivers at the tomb. Concerning Abner, the great, David weeps out the text. More appropriately than when originally uttered we may now fitter this resounding lamentation: ‘“Know ye not that there is a prince and -A great man fallen this day in. Israel ?" It was 30 minutes after six; the exact hour of the sunset of the Sabbath •day, and while the evening lights were being kindled, that the soul of Stephen -J. Field, the lawyer, the judge, the patriot, the Christian, ascended. Our departed friend came forth a boy -from a minister’s home in New England. He knelt with father and mother -at morning and evening prayer, learned from maternal lips lessons of piety which lasted him and controlled him Amid all the varied and exciting scenes •of a lifetime and helped him to die in peace an octogenarian. Blot out from American history the names of those ministers’ sons who have done honor to judicial bench and commercial circle and national legislature and presidential chair, and you would obliterate many of the grandest chapters •of that history. It is no small Advantage to have started from a home whepe •God is honored and the subject of a world’s emancipation from sin and sorrow is under constant discussion. The Ten Commandments, which are the • foundation of ail good law—Homan law, German law, English law, American law—ore the best foundation upon which to build character, and those ‘ which the boy, Stephen J. Field, 60 •often heard in the parsonage at Stockbridge were his guidance when, a half <entury after, as a gowned justice of thesupreme eourt of the United States, 'be unrolled his opinions. Bibles, hymn i books, catechisms, family prayers, atmosphere sanctified, are good surioundings for boys and girls to start from, -and if our laxer ideas of religion and •Sabbath days and home training produce as splendid men and women as "the much-derided Puritanic Sabbath And Puritanic teachings have produced it will be a matter of congratulation and thanksgiving. Do not pass by the fact that I have not yet seen emphasized that Stephen -J. Field was a minister’s son. Notwithstanding that there are conspicuous ex--ceptions to the rule—and the exceptions have built tip a stereotyped defamation •on the subject—statistics plain and undeniable prove that a larger proportion •of ministers’ sons turn out well than are to be found in any other genealogical table. Let all the parsonages of -all denominations of Christians where children are growing up take the coneolation. See the star of hope pointing down to that manger! Notice also that our departed friend was a member of a royal family. There were no crowns or scepters or thrones in that ancestral line, but the family •of the Fields, like the family of the New York Primes, like the family of the Princeton Alexanders, like a score ^>f families that 1 might mention, if it were best to mention them, were “the •children of the King,” and had put on them honors brighter than crowns and wielded influence longer and wider than -scepters. That family of Fields traces An honorable lineage back 800 years to -Hubertus de la Feld, coadjutor of William the Conqueror. Let us thanir God ior such families, generation after generation on the side of that which is -right and good. While all parents cannot aspire to have •such conspicuous households as the one the name of whose son we now celebrate, all parents may by fidelity in prayer and holy example havetheir ‘sons and daughters become kings and •queens unto God, to reign forever and „ -ever.

mm* •Let young men beware lest they by their behavior blot such family records -with some misdeed. We can all think■of households the names of which meant everything honorable and cony secrated for a long while* but by the deed of one son sacrificed, disgraced nnd blasted. Look out how you rob jrour consecrated ancestry of the name they handed to you unsullied! Better •as trustee to that name add something worthy. Do something to honor the old homestead, whether a mountain cabin or a city mansion or a Country parsonage. Rev. David Dudley Field, though 32 .years passed upward, is honored to-day by the Christian life, the service, the death of his son Stephen. . Among the most absorbing books of the Bible is the book of Kings, which again and again illustrates that though piety is not hereditary, the style of parentage has much to do with the style of descendant. It declares of King Abijam: “He walked in all the sins of his father which he had done before him,’* •and of King Azariah: “He did that which was right in the sight of the lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.” We owe a debt to those who have gone before in our line as certainly as we hare obligations to those who subsequently appear in the household. Not so sacred is your old father's walking staff, which you keep in his memory, Jjgr the eyeglasses through which your mother studied Hie ®ible in her old age as the name they the name which you inherited, t brigiat, I charge you. Keep it

suggestive of son ething elevated In character. Tram sle not underfoot that which to you: * father and mother was dearer than lil; itself. Defend their graves as they defended your cradle. ilotice also that >ur illustrious friend wan great in reasonable and genial dissent. Of the 1,042 >pinions he rendered none was more patent or memorable than those rende •ed while he was in small minority an d sometimes in a minority of one. A learned and distin

^uisucu ibbjw u tuns touduj said ne would rather be the author of Judge Field's dissenting opinions than to be the author of the constitution of the Unjited States, ’. 'he tendency is to go witjh the multitude, to think what others think, to say and do what others do. Sometimes the lanjority are wrong, and it requires b ;roes to take the negative, but to do that logically and in good humor req lires some elements of ma((e up not oft; n found in judicial dissenters or, indei d, in any class of men. The Declaration of American independence was it dissenting opinion. The Free Chursh of Scotland, under Chalmers and l is compeers was a dissenting movement. The Bible itself, Old Testament and New Testament, is a protest against the theories that would have des :royed the world, and is a dissenting as well as a Divinely inspired book. The Decalogue on Sinai repeated ten lines “Thou shait not.” For ages to co ne will be quoted from law books in co ortrooms Justice Field's magnificent dissenting opinions. Notice that our ascended friend had such a character as assault and peril alone can develops. He had not come to the soft cushions of the supreme court bench stepping on cloth of gold and saluted all along* the line by handclapping of applause. Country personages do not rock their babies in satin-lined cradle or afterward send them out into the world with enough in their hand to purchase plato and power. Pastors' sala ries in th<; early, part of this century hardly e-ers reached $700 a year. Economies that sometimes cut into the bone characterized many of the homes of the New England clergymen. The young lawyer of whom we speak today arrived in San Francisco in 1849 with only ten dollars in his pocket. Williamstown college was only introductory to a postgraduate course which our illustrious friend took while administering justic e and halting ruffianism amid the mining camps of California. Oh,| those “forty-niners,” as they were called, -through what privations, through whs t narrow escapes, amid what exposures they moved! Administering and executing law among outlaws never has been an easy undertaking; Among mountaineers, many of whom had no regard for human life; and where the snap of pistol and bang of gun were not unusual responses, required courage of the highest metal. Bjehind a dry goods box, surrounded by tallow ca idles, Judge Field began his judicial career. What exciting scenes he passed through! An infernal macihine was handed to him, and inside! the lid of the box was pasted his decision in the Pueblo case, the decision that had talked unprincipled speculators. Ten years ago his life would have passed out had not an officer of the law sl ot down his assailant. It took a long training of hardship and abu^e and mi sinterpretation and threat of violence and flash of assassin's knife to fit him for the high place where he eoul 1 defy legislatures and congresses and presidents and the world when he knew he was right. Hardship is tlm grindstone nhat sharpens intellectual faculties ant. the sword with which to strike effectively for God and one’s country. Notice also how much our friend did for the honor of the judiciary. What momentous : scenes have been witnessed in our United States supreme court, on the bench ai d before the bench, whether far back it held its sessions in the upper room of the exchange at New York or aftorward for ten years in the city hall at Philadelphia or later in the cellaij of yonder capitol, the place where for many years the congressional library was kept, a sepulcher where books were juried alive, the hole called by John Randolph “the Cave of Tropho

mus: vv nut mighty men stood before that bar pi jading in immortal eloquence on questions of national import! IIow sugj, estive the invitation "which William W rt, the great Virginian, wrote his ft: lend inviting him to yonder supreme courtroom; “To-morrow a week will come on the great steamboat question from New York. Emmett and Oakley on one side, Webster and myself on I he other. Come down and hear it:. Ei amett’s whole soul is in the case, aiid ho will stretch all his powers. Oakley is said to be one of the finest logicians of the age, as much a Phocion as Emmett is a Themistocles, and Webster is »s ambitious as Caesar., He will not be Outii me by any man if it is within the com pass of his power to avoid it. Come t > Washington. It will be a combat wiorth witnessing.** The supreme court has stood so high in England and he United States that the vices of a l ew who have occupied that import ant place have not been able to disgrace it; neither the corruption of Francis Bsi cop, nor the cruelty of Sir George Mackenzie, nor the Sabbath desecmtioi: of Lord Castlereagh. To that I: ighest of all tribunals Abraham Linco In called our friend, bnt he lived long 4 nough to honor the supreme court more than it had ever honored him. For nore than 34 years he sat in the presets se of this nation and of all nation's a model judge. Fearlessness, integrity, c evotiop to principle, characterized him. No bribe ever touched his hand. No profane word ever scalded his tongue. No blemish of wrong ever marred hi: ; character. Fully qualified was ho to have his name asswUtixi in the history of this country with the greatest o: ‘ the judiciary. As a t 12 >*clock day by day on yonder hill the ga el falls in the supreme courtroom, and it is announced that the chief justice of be United States and the as

•odate justice* are aboet to enter,, and all counselors at the bar and alt apectators rise to greet them, and the officer with the words: “Oye*. oyez, oyes!” announces that all is now ready for a hearing and er~laims: “God save the United States of America,” so 1 wish we could in imagination gather together those who hare accupied that high judicial place in this and other lands, and they might enter, and after the falling of some mighty garel had demanded attention we could look upon them— Marshall, the giant of American jurisprudence,and John Jay, of whom Daniel Webster said in commemoration: “When the spotless ermine of the judicial robe fell on John Jay, it touched nothing less spotless than itself,” and Rutledge and Cushing and Ellsworth and Joseph Storey, called the Walter Scott of common law, and Sir Matthew Hale and Lord Eldon and Lord Tenterden and Sir James McIntosh and *Manafield and the long line of lord chancellors and the great judges from both sides of the sea, and after they had taken theft places in our quickened imagination and distinguished cases of centuries which they decided might again be called on, after the assembled nations had ejaculated: “God save the United States of America,” “God save Great Britain,” “God save the nations.” Ah, how the law honors and sanctifies

everything it touches! Natural law. Civil law. Social law. Commercial law. Common law. Moral law. Ecclesiastical law. International law. Oh, the dig* nity, the impressiveness, the power of law! It is the only thing before which Jehovah bows, but He bows before that, although the law is of His own making. The law! By it worlds swing. By it the fate of centuries is decided. By it all the affairs of time and all the cycles of eternity will be governed. \Ve cannot soar so high, or sink so deep, or reach out so far, or live so long as to escape it. It is the throne on which the Almighty sits. To interpret law, what a profession! What a responsibility! What an execration when the judge be a Lord Jeffreys! What a benediction if he be a Chancellor Kent! Have you ever realized how much God has honored law in the fact that all up I and down the Bible He makes the judge a type of Himself and employs the scene of a courtroom to set forth the grandeurs of the great judgment day? Book of Genesis: “ShaH not the judge of ail the earth do right?” Book of Deuteronomy : “The Lord shall judge His people.” Book of Psalms: “God is judge Himself.” Book of the Acts: “Judge of quick and dead.” Book of Timothy: “The Lord is the righteous judge." Never will it be understood how God honors judges and courtrooms until the thunderbolt of the last day shall pound the opening of the great assize—the day of trial, the day of clearance, the day of doom, the day of judgment. The law of the case on that occasion will be read, and the indictment of ten counts, which are the Ten Commandments. Justice will plead the case against us, but our glorious advocate will plead in our behalf, for “we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the righteous.” Then the case will be decided in our clearance, as the Judge announces: “There is now, therefore, no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus.” Under the crowded galleries of cloud on that last day and under the swaying upholstery of a burning heavens and while the Alps and Himalayas and Mount Washington are falling flat on their faces we will be able to understand the significance of those Scripture passages which speak of God as Judge and employ the courtroom of earth as typical of the scene when all nations shall be brought into tribunal. To have done well, all that such a pro* fession could ask of him, and to have made that profession still more honorable by his brilliant and sublime life, is enough for national and international, terrestrial and celestial congratulation. And then to expire beautifully while the prayers of his church were being offered at his bedside, the door of Heaven opening for his entrance as the door of earth opened for his departure, the sob of the earthly farewell caught up into raptures that never die. Yes, he lived and died in the faith of the oldfashioned Christian religion. Young man, I want to tell you that Justice Field believed in the Bible from lid to lid, a book all true either as doetrine or history, much of it the history of events that neither God nor man approves. Our friend drank the wine of the holy sacrament and ate the bread of which “if a man eat he shall never hunger.” He was the up and down, out and out friend of the church of Christ. If there had been anything illogical in our religion he would have scouted it, for he was a logician. If there had been in it anything unreasonable, he would have rejected it, because he was a good reasoner. If there had been in it anything that would not stand research he would have exploded the'fallacy, for his life

«£»» a me oi resear-cn. i oung men of Washington, young men of America, young men of the round ■world, a re-7 ligion that would stand the test of Justice! Field’s penetrating and all-ran-sacking intellect must have in it something worthy of your confidence. I tell you now that Christianity has not only the heart of the world on its side, butthe brain of the world also. Ye who haTe tried to represent the religion of the Bible as something pusillanimous, how doyou account-Ibr the Christian faith of Stephen J. Field, whole shelves of the law library occupied with his magnificent decisions? And now may the God of all comfort speak to the bereft, especially to her who was the queen of his life, from the day when as a stranger he was shown to her pew in the Episcopal church, to this time of the broken heart. Be changed churches, but did not change religions, for the church in which he was bora and the church in which he died alike believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. and in the communion of saints, and in the lift everlasting. Amen. .. . . -r ' . . £._ *

JUST LIKE' ADMIRAL DEWEY. Too AnTCMlTeGeinua Atalzal Dlcirtck Braagkt I p Wttk a Round Turn. New York, April 2&—Ckpt. J. R. Doghlan and his officers of the United [States cruiser Baleigh were enter* tained at the Union League club last night. The dining room was hand* tome decorated with American and British flags, and ten large tables were weighted down with good things for Ute returned heroes of Manila. Cheers tor Dewey and His Men. ! President Elihu Boot presided, and liter a speech* of welcome called for three cheers for Admiral Dewey. They were given so that the building seemed to throb in sympathy. Three cheera followed for Cant. Coghlan. Almost preater than either wen* the shouts of approval when President Kwt called for “Three cheers for the men behind

Lne guns.” Capt. Coghlan was called upon to (peak. He accepted, he said, all the food things that have been said about turn and his men as being meant for Admiral Dewey. Love4 Him More and More. “Every day we were with him,” he added, “we learned more and more to love him and more and more how the country’s interests were safe in Ms hands, and how he would do nothing but that wMch would ^redound to the country’s credit, Through all those long, weary months of waiting and the most outrageous nagging that anybody could suffer, wearing him to the rery bone, he held him self up and he half-dollar a yard anywhere.’ A Thrilling- Story. Then Capt. Coghlan told the following story of his admiral: “An officer of our friend. Admiral \'on Diedrich, came down one day to make a complaint.^ I togas mr pleasure to step out on the qum*terdeek just as he came aboard. It was partly by accident and partly-by design. I heard him tell the admiral about Ms complaint, and I heard the admiral reply: “Go Tell Your Admiral.*' “ "Tell your admiral those ships of his must stop when I say so. I wish to make the blockade of this harbor complete.’ ” The German officer replied: “ ‘But, we fly the flag.* “The reply of the admiral was just l:ke Dewey. He said: “ "Those flags can be bought at a half-dollar a yard anywhere.’ So Fob la Ills Tones. “There was no fun In that expression of the admiral. Me told the officer that any one could fly a German flag, and that a ■whole Spanish fleet might come upon Mm. with German flags up. Then he drew back and stroked Ms mustache. He has a great habit of stroking his mustache when he gets mad. He said: “Note Carefully What 1 Say.” “ *Tell your admiral I am blockading here. Now note carefully what I say, and tell your admiral that I say it. I have been making this blockade as easy for everybody as I could, but I im getting tired of the puerile work here. It has been of such a character that a map would not notice it, although children might fight over it, but the time' has come when it must stop. Tell your admiral tiat the slightest infraction of any rule will mean but one tMng. That will be war., [t will be so accepted and reseated immediately. If your people am ready for war with the United Stages they can have it at any time.’ Tfc» Expwtrd Came l iexpec edljr. “I am free to admit that that almost took my breath away. It canto so sudienly. We had expected it al^pdong, hut things you have been expe cting always come unexpectedly. As he left with a face about this long (indicating by holding up his hands far ap vrt), the German said to me: A Perfect Under* tandin g. “ ‘I think your admired does not unierstand.’ * • I “‘Not only does he understand,* I told Mm, ‘but he means what he says, and you had better look out.’ “After that they did not breathe more than (our times successively without asking, permission.” THE NEW MEXICAN_~TELEATY.

Washington, April 22.—'The, presiient will, in a few days, issue a proclamation giving effect to the new extradition treaty between the United States and Mexico, President Diaz taking similar action in Mexico. The Mexican embassy has been advised that the treaty between the United States ind Mexico, was ratified by the Mexican senate on April lit last, and already has been ratified by the United States senate, so that i1) will be in effect as soon as proclaimed by the pres* tdents of the two commies. The text of the treaty has never been made known, but besides prodding- extradition for all crimes, non political, its principal feature is i$yp ing-the treaty retroactive effect, so as 1:0 cover crimes committed while no treaty existed.
