San Francisco Chronicles:
There seems to be but little doubt
that Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, widow of
the late United States Senator Hearst
will carry out her inten ton of erect
ing q splendid museum in Golken
Gate Park. An intimatiOn of the
Iady's intention was made public
some months ago. but that was all. 1t
is now known that the amount to be
placed to the credit of the park will
be 81 OO0, GOO, and that 10 all probabil.
ity the great building will be con-
structed on the. elevated ground just
west of the deer park At least, that
that is the present insention.
Mrs. Hearst appreciates the fact
that anything done for the park will
be of the greatest benefit to the great
mass ofthe people. In her extensive
travels abroad she has gathered to.
gether an immense quantity of curios,
TO study which will be source of de-
light to many and an educat onal
benefit to not few. Those who
have been permitted glimpse at the
portions of the collection now scat
tered in warehouses in New York,
Washington and San Francisco say
that it is one of the most marvellous
ever brought together. This collec-
ton Mrs. Hearst intends shall
form the nucleus for what she hopes
will in time be one of the
greatest museums in the world. Be-
fore leaving for Europe several
mon tbs ago Mrs. Hearst took q drive
through the big pleasure ground and
expressed much satisfaction with the
site suggested, west of the present
deer park and only q short distance
from the buffalo paddock.

purchase of additions to the stock of
wonders.
