The San Francisco call., 1895-10-14

Mrs. Stanford, who went East few days
ago, is receiving an avalanch of kilograms
congratulating her on winning the big
Government suit against the Stanford
estate and saving the $4,000 900 to the
university.
Such congratulations will undoubtedly
crowd upon her for months as she meets
friends of herself and OF the Stanford Uni
versity East and West. She has a host of
warm and influential friends at Washing
ton who became friends of the late Senator
and herself during their long connection
with the official and social life of the capi-
tai, and many Senators and Congressman
have wished her success-for the uni
versity's sake, at least-and stood ready to
vote for any bill remitting the millions re-
covered if the Government won the suit.
Then this institution here, broadly planned
and run, and marking the farthest ad-
vance toward intellectual freedom and the
idea of individual education among the
worlds institutions of learning, has
steadily increasing number of admirers
who would de eply regret a blow that
would cut short at the outset its career of
magnificent promise.
There is widespread personal sympathy
for Mrs. Stanford, too, among those who
understand a little of the heroic struggle
and the devoted and self-sacrihcing labors
which she has bestowed on the university
since Senator Stanford s death. She took
the management of the vast estate at the
time OF greatest business depression, and
found it tangled and able to yield very
little money. Since that time she has
abandoned every social pleasure, devoted
| herself to business early and late, dis
played surprising strength of character
and business ability, brought rigid econ
omy into play everywhere, even making
her personal and household expenses less
than those of many fairly well-to-do resi-
dents of the Western Addition, and has
supported the university largely from her
private fortune. Since the filing of the
Government suits not dollar of the estate
could be used, and cannot be until the
Probute Court here orders the distribution
of the estate. The Government suit has
alone stood in the way of that for year
or more.
The late Senator Stanford bequeathed
| 81, 800, 600 to the university in addition to
the great endowment of land made before,
but this $2,500,000 will not become avail
able before the distribution. The bulk of
the estate bequeathed. to the value of
many millions, goes to Mrs. Stanford, but
it is a settled thing that she will leave it
nearly all to the institution which it was
the noble and eliminating ambition of
Mr. and Mrs. Stanford to found as monu-
ment to their son, and which is now Mrs.
Stanford's sole interest.
So even among people believing most
strongly in the justice of the Governments
claim there is a sense of satisfaction that
the money will go to the public anyhow,
universitys future are now likely to be
carried out

cook and for this neglect be was tried by q
general court-martial, proved guilty and
sentenced to forfeit $50 to the United

thirty DAYS.
To men and women whose knowledge of
army life is gained chiefly from a study of
battle pictures wherein the great leaders
are portrayed as riding on furious chargers
over the PROSTATE music bands and the
artillery, 1t may be necessary to explain
that neglect OF duty on the part Of the
COOK is very serious matter, and is in
violation OF the sixty-second article of war.
The absence of the COOK without leave is
III violation of the thirtysecond artice of
war. In civil life similar conduct on the
part OF cook would hardly be in viola
ton OF any one of the articles of peace.

Captain Robley D. Evans has been
ordered to command the battleship In

The detail of officers for the cruiser
Boston, now at Mare Island, has been
completed. Commander Nicol Ludlow
has been recommended for promo ton to
captain, and will probably command the
cruiser. 1t is said that the department
will be compelled to send crew from the
East to man the cruiser. The report goes
that there has been some difficulty in get
ting the character of men desired for the
naval service on the Pacific Slope. 1t
would be interesting in San Francisco
to know how the department gets the
information that desirable men cannot be
found on this side of the continent. The
