DIR. scott, The Aged Father. Follows His
Daughter to the Grave.
The shades of death cast a somber
cloud over the executive mansion
again on Tuesday and the President
and his family spent nearly the entire
day at the bedside OF DIR. Scott, the
Presidents venerable father-in-law,
awaiting the inevitable, which, ow-
ing to the unexpected vitality dis
played by the invalid, did not happen
as o as was anticipated. DR..
Gardner visited the sick room at 7
o'clock and found that the case was
beyond medical skill. N0twithstand-
ing his ~ninety-three years, DIR. Scott
has enjoyed exceptionally good health
up to the time of his last sickness.
and his mental vigor seemed to have
kept full pace with his physical sound
ness.
Owing to his present afiiction the
President will be unable to complete
his annual message to congress in
time for submission to that body on
the opening day of the session. The
present indications are that he will
be precludcd from making any pro-
gress whatever during the remaining
days Of the present week. The Presi-
dent will probably send a brief mes
sage TO congress Monday next, ex-
planning why the regular message is
delayed. 1t is learned on good author
ity that the annual message will be
about the same length as that of last
year-I5,OO0 words.
During the night DR.. Scott remain

opinion that if the United States

of the work, then this country
would hold u~ndisputed possession of
the canal forever. However the
thing is to be accomplished, two
points are clear. One is that the
Nicaragua canal must be constructed
as soon as possible; the other is that
the United States must control it.

But it is surprising to note how quickly
a sense of shame and pride is aroused in

few weeks to have this duty performed
for them before they come. After the

OF which is of necessity one of the first

In every school there Is piano. The
singing and marching attracts the chill

almost every instance the little ones
learn here for the first time of God, and
a deep impression is made on their
childish minds. Their faith in the eff
cacy of prayer is strong. Sometimes
they direct their prayers toward Mrs.
Stanford, believing from experience that
she can easily respond to their requests.
One of the many pretty stories In con-
nection with the work that Mrs. Stan
ford told me must repeat, for it illus
trates how much good is being done.
One day little boy came to the school.
Though eyinclng the most abject pow
erty, he had something in his manner
and in his clean patched clothes that
showed that he was superior to the
other children. AS the days went by
the teacher was more and more i'm
pressed with this idea, and called Mrs.
Cooper's attention to the boy. She went
home with him to see his mother and
ascertain their condition The home"
was bare and desolate garnet, and the
mother was a pitiable looking object.
When Mrs. Cooper introduced herself
the poor girl, for she was scarcely more,
put her face in her hands and began to

a complete wreck, and all they had tc
live on was the mere pittance she earned
with her needle.
After few weeks the teacher at the
kindergarten was surprised and pleased
to observe decided change in the dress
and manner of the boy. He had warm
shoes and stockings, new overcoat,
ETC., and seemed very happy.
Mrs. Cooper made another call upon
the little woman in the garnet. This
time she was not received with tears.
"Oh, want to tell you" she said,
what your kindergarten has done for
US. She then told how her boy would
come home at night and sing the songs
and tell the pretty stories he had learned,
and praise the kind lady who had estab-
lished the school, and say the prayers
she had told them her boy had said.
! The father became interested and en-
couraged him to tell about the things he
learned at school. One night he went
with him and put him to bed himself.
When he came back he sat down beside
his wife, who was sewing by the dim
light, instead of going out as was his
custom. After watching her few mo-
ments in silence he said, do you know
we have got one of the smartest and
brightest boys in the country. and have
made up my mind that he shall never be
ashamed of his father any more" And
he kept his resolution.
THAT one instance" said Mrs. Stan
ford. has repaid me for all have done. !"
The school has now become an estab-
lished institution, and in order that the
work may not stop for want Of funds
after her death Mrs. Stanford has placed
500, 600 in trust with which to carry it
on indefinitely.
Mrs. Cooper, who has made the mat
ter study, has discovered that in the
reform schools, houses Of correction and
prisons not boy or girl can be found
who has ever been under kindergarten
training That fact and the testimony
of the public school teachers show the
wonderful influence of the simple les
sons on the impressionable minds of the
children.
The six schools in San Francisco and
the two in the country near the home of
the Stanfords at Menlo Park, which Mrs.
Stanford has recently established and
which are under her own personal super
vision, cost her 81 900 year
These schools were the first memorial
kindergartens established in the world.
They by no means represent the whole of
Mrs. Stanfords charitabl work. There
is no charity In California that has not
had her aid. and the poor of Washington
have reason to respect her kindness of
heart. She has this year endowed the
orphan asylum at Albany, her native
place. with 100000, which provides for
an infant department. This asylum was
established by Mrs. Stanford's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Dyer Lathrop.

"Tell me how this idea of establishing
a kindergarten in the sluns of San Fran

1T was more than ten years ago." she
replied, that young lady came to me
one day to solicit my help in this kinder
garten work which she had already be-
gun IN the low quarters of the city, but
which she found she was not able to
carry on without financial aid. She
talked so well and seemed such bright,
intellectual girl and so thoroughly in
earnest that at last l asked her how
much she would need to carry on the
work for year. She said 81 900 would
be necessary to carry it on as she plan
ned. told her to go to others and get
all she could and then come back to me
and would make up the balance.
In about three weeks she returned.
She had only succeeded in raising twelve
dollars. gave her the first installment

the experience Of that day and the joy

thank God that have never closed them
since.
MY dear boy was so happy that day,
and enjoyed SO much seeing those poor,
scantily clothed, poverty pinched babies
delight at their games and exercises. The
children were so happy, too, that it made
my heart glad. They crowded about
me and stroked my gown, and Of their
own accord thanked me for bringing the
beautiful things to them.
When we came out my boy said,
Mamma, think that is the best thing

through the winter of the success of the

he was doing to come and listen and
learn how the kindergarten was getting

again to the school. The children ex-

preparations So we were given quite
