Leland stanford Junior University.

Senator Stanford just before sailing for
Europe, said of the Leland Stanford Junior
University, of California, that in this
school one sex was to have equal advantages
with the other. Senator Stanford also added
that this university would be open to the

within the reach of even those people to whom
a dollar represents every one of its hundred
pennies. Free scholarships are to be provided
for those meritorious young persons who
are unable TO pay for their education. In addi
ton to the regular college courses, there will
be machine shop and department to en-

THE FOSTER CHILD.

When love was first entrusted TO my arms
scarcely could contain myself for Joy.
But fell a willing victim TO his charms,
So glorious and so gracious was the boy
But ahI as time went on and that fixed gaze
Became more fixed. it dawned upon my mind
That all those Inconsistent headong ways
Those frequent falls. meant that my boy was

Now from the sight turned away my eyes,
And YET, Il shall not lose him" weeping said.
This most pathetic OF infirmites
child forever of my child has made
What can he know Of change or OF decay

sented themselves for duty, and the usual
course of things, as far as the Milwau-
kee q st. Paul Company is concerned,

the strike on that road continued.
The engineers ana fremen were
ready to carry out tho understanding, but
the switchmen were obdurate. Alto n. M.
however, every thing was satisfactorily
arranged, and the great Burlington bow
colt was apparently averywhere at an end.
The final result or the meeting of tho

city, which began yesterday afternoon
and lasted until late hour last night.
Is announced this morning in the
declaration that the boycott of "Q" cars
had been permanently raised, and that
henceforth the contest will be confined
strictly to the 20" system. This raising
of the boycott means that all strikes now
on, except the 60" are to stop forthwith.
and that all those which were imminent
are to be averted. The business of Chicago
is to be restored and maintained by the
strikers with strict decorum. Other roads
are absolved from the requirement of neu.
trality, and violence is to be discounte.
