TINES CHANGES.

Judge seymour.
The Mississippi itself Is a good In.
stance of the variations through which
these names have passed. It's original
spelling, and the nearest approach to
the Algonquin word, "tle father Of
waters" is Meche sebe, spelling still
commonly used by the Louisiana
Creoles. Tonti suggested Niche Scpc
which is some what nearer to the
present spelling. Father Laval still
further modernizcd 1t into Michisipi,
which another father, Labatt, soften
ed into Misisipi, the flrst specimen Of
the present spelling. The only changes
since have been to overload the word
with cOnsonants. Marquette added
the first and some other explor.
or the second "s," making 1t Missis~
sipi, and so it remains in France tn
this day, with only one "p," the man
who added the other has never been
discovered, but lie must have been an

mencement Day.

AS fitting monument to Mrs. Stan.
ford's ultimate triumph in the great Gov
eminent suit for $15,0O0,OO0, beautiful
gateway is being erected at the main en-
trance to the university campus
1t is the first substantial building in
keeping with the original designs of the
extensive quadrangle group that has
been attempted since the death of Senator
Stanford nearly three years ago; for soon
after tina: the estate became involved in
the litigation that barred all its sources of
revenue and left the university dependent
solely upon Mrs. Stanford's private for
tune for Its necessary expenses, amount
ing to nearly $1,000 day.
in the minds of students and visitors first
passing through the portals, the new
sphinx-crowned pillars will hereafter
be associated with victory and wisdom, and
when the present seniors shall go out from
their alma mater at the end of this month
as graduates, content in the assured pros
perity of the institution, the sentiment
connected with the new gateway will leave
lasting impression of one of the best ira
ditions of the college.
Each gatepost is formed of rough-hewn
yellow sandstone blocks, with four stone
pillars at the corners, and on the top of
tins substantial pile is to be solid block
of stone as a pedestal for bronze Egyptian
sphinx that will surmount the whole and
make the top of the gatepost fully eighteen
feet above the ground.
From the accompanying sketch, made
from the designs of Charles Edward
Hodges, the university architect, may be
gained a good idea of the general appear
ance of the whole structure, which will be
completed about May 13.
Mr.. Hodges is also authority for the
statement that the long-expected and
much-neded large auditorium or hall for
popular lectures will probably soon be
built.
The temporary chapel building with
seats for 400 has long been made to accom-
modate over 600 on special occasions, when
the extra persons have had to stand in
compact bodies and occupy every avail
able space on the sills of the tiers of small
windows peculiar to the Moorish architec-
ture.
1t is probable also that this deco
rative gateway marks only the beginning
OF more extensive buildings to be erected
on the campus in accordance with the
elaborate but uncom pleted plans suggested
by the present beautiful quadrangle
The gateway marks the Palo Alto en-
trance to the grounds, and is within 100
yards OF the railroad station. At it begins
also the Palo Alto avenue, broad drive
way skirted by fan palms and leading to

generous loan of costly Turkish rugs and
draperies he fitted up studio in the st.
Anne's building.
"Now, indeed, do 1 feel inspired to per-

as he reclined on an oriental couch. "If
the artists of San Francisco were not leal-
Gus of me, ii they would only give me

He worked industriously for a month.
He went into the country and made

Keith's pictures. But the second months

1t seems that some of Keith's paintings
were in the same store, one of them $500

AS the story goes, Keith dropped into
the artstore the other day. The first thing
his eye met was this picture and then be-
side it were the copies of Mersfelder's. all

might easily believe the one artist painted

Young Painter.

Something has happened in art circles

the eminent landscape painter is furious
and indignant. At the same time the artists

And the innocent cause of it all-Jules
Mersfelder, votary of what he used to call
the quality school" is far, far away.
Mersfelder's meteoric career went out in
San Francisco quite recently. His fading
away from the local artistic armament
contained pathetic story hidden beneath
the surface, and, unconsciously, it was ac-
companied by little transaction which
ruffied the lofty soul of his beau ideal
Keith. Bringing the subject down to the
present, there are paintings by Mersfelder

Mersfelder vanished from the City i'm
medlately after selling his pictures. He
met Chris Jorgensen on the Sacramento
train, and contded to him that he was 60
ing to his only friend in New York. The
artlsts and connoisseurs here had con-
sspired against him, SO he declared.
Whereat be wept bitter tears. He had a
ticket to Sacramento, and appeared in
stylish attire - -
And now story comes from Sacramento
OF wonderful dash maze there by the i'm
pressionist artist. 1t was told in Chris
Jorgensen's class at the capital. Accord
ing 10 1t Mersfelder went to the best hotel
IN town and gave out that he was there on
contract with Mrs. Crocker to paint some
great historical picture. Anyhow. he got
the pest apartments in the motel, and set
the place by the ears with language that
passed through his sombrero. He put on
tremendous airs, and talked big things
about art, and Mrs. Crocker's order in par
ticuiar, till at last the people imagined
that Raphael had come back again to
earth and somehow alighted in Sacra-
mento. This did not last long, however,
for Mersfelder had to subdue his soaring
iancies abruptly. The latest account is he
lost himself somewhere at the other side
OF the Capital city.
