STANFORD STUDENTS.

The students Of stanford University
are supplementing the Thanksgiving
football victory by sending their Glee
and Mandolin Club on a triumphal tour
of the Coast, going as far north as Vic
toria and Vancouver. making one of the
longest tours ever attempted by an
American college organization. Numer-
ically the aggregation is one Of the
largest on the road The Glee Club in
eludes sixteen men, and the Mandolin
Club twelve men. besides soloists and
specialists. No collegiate club west of
Philadelphia presents a program OF
equal variety. Walter Camp, the father
of football, and the best Informed col
lege man in the country, places the
Stanford clubs on the same plane with
the famous musical and speciality clubs
of old Yale.
The use of the name Stanford is the
only advertisement the clubs need. Dur
ing the past year the university has
been more prominently before the pub
lie, in variety of ways, and has at
tracted wider attention. in educational.
legal and athletic circles, than any 9TH
er university in the land. The decision
OF the United States supreme court, the
prominence of Stanford professors in
literary circles, the recent achievements
of the students in football, baseball,
and on the track. make Stamford a
household word; and many persons will
come to see and hear these handsome
young fellows more on account of what
they represent than of what they can
do. 4
1t is needless to say that Stanford
needs no Introduction in this vicinity.
She has already won the loyalty Of our
people. and harbors within her classic
walls many of our boys and girls The
clubs, on former tours, established
themselves so favorably in musical and
social circles, that their reappearance
will be heralded with pleasure. A large
house and warm reception will greet
them. Their engagement here win be

ing due to the collapse OF the National
Bank Of Illinois, and small runs on
three banks were the echoes today Of
the bank failures Of yesterday.
Runs were made on the Garden City
Banking and Trust Co.. the HibernIan
Savings Bank. and the Illinois Trust
and Savings Bank. but none OF the
runs were Of much Importance. The
officers of the Garden City Bank and
the Illinois Trust Co. had expected that
run would be made upon their insti-
tutions and were ready to meet 1t. They
threw open the doors OF the bank an
hour earlier than usual and said they
wanted to get the run out Of the way
50 they could transact their usual busl-
ness without being disturbed. Quite
a crowd Of depositors had gathered at
the doors before they were opened and
as soon as the bank was ready for bust
ness the depositors gave the paying
tellers all they cared to do. The run
kept up with energy for over an hour.
and then died away. At the close OF
banking hours the officers OF the lnsti-
tuition announced that during the day
the amount OF money taken in was tire
BILE that paid out. and the bank was
declared in better shape than at the
opening OF the doors in the morning.
The run on the Hibernian Savings
Bank was OF short duration, as the on
GERS declined to make any payment ON
time deposits. unless given sixty days
notice. This was not because they were
not prepared to pay all depositors in
full. but because they wished to avoid
embarrassment TO the smaller bankers
who might not be prepared to pay all
their depositors. and who might be
placed in an embarrassing position il
the stronger banks were paying all de-
mands for time deposits.
There was a slight run on the Illinois
Trust Savings Bank shortly after II
opened this morning. Before the close
Of banking hours the excitement had
completely died out The giving Of no
tice was sanctioned by the clearing
house committee and the object was
(the Illinois Trust being the strongest
savings bank in the city, to give the
smaller ones opportunity to point to its
action as an excuse for giving notice
which they did, ana thus
affectually stopped a run.
