Recent Reports Concerning His Health
and Mind Pronounced Unfounded.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-At intervals
since the election of Ex-Governor Leland
Stanford, of California, to the Sc nate, ar
ticles have been published in various
newspapers to the effect that the health
of the Senator is failing, that his mind
has been affected by the loss of his son,
who died abroad about year ago, and
that recently he has become a convert to
Spiritualism. These statements have as
tOnished and panied the Senator and his
family and friends, but he has been un-
willing to dignity them even by denying
their truth. An intimate friend of Sena-
tor Stanford, however, is authority for
the emphatic statement that the Sena-
tors health is excellent, that his intellect
is as sound as it ever was, and that he has
not become a Spiritualis. The Senator
has been in Washington couple OF
weeks, and several of his colleagues have
expressed the opinion that he is as well
equipped for his public duties as his
friends can desire.
