DR.. JORDAN TO The STUDENTS.
President of Stanford University De-
iyers Ills annual Opening
[ddneSS.

STAN FORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Sept.
Z-Following the custom of former years
DR.. Jordan this evening delivered his an
nual address to the new and old students.
He spoke, in part, as follows:
1t is the custom not to tell new students
what we are doing here. 1t is part of their
education to discover this for themselves. Yet
l shall, perhaps, tell you this evening some
thing about our affairs and what our ideals
are.
Bismarck once said that one-third of the
students in Europe killed themselves by ex-
ing third governed Europe. 1t Is for those
students that represent the governing third
that the Stanford University exists.
The business of the university is to disclose
the secret OF power. This makes man, and
man rules whether he is numerical majority
or not
remember when our first football team was
surprising the people of San Francisco that
some one near said that in a few years
those men would be ruling California, and the
members of the pioneer Class are already run
ming their own little worlds. The tendency of
the college of to-day Is 10 throw on the
student as much responsibility as possible,
and the tendency of the elective system is to
strengthen character. II is of no use to edu-
cafe slave. Free should the scholar be-free
and brave. 1t is not worth while to educate
men who have not high ideals toward their
fellow men, nor men who are towards.
What does it matter IL you do not please
every one? If you are silent because you fear
criticism you wor rthess. 1t is a good
thing to be courteous, but not cowardly. 1t is
impossible to teach morals In college. Each
man should learn to be his own moral teacher.
Bad men make q bad environ ment, and that
is what destroys men.

SACRAMENIO tOUNTH WINS.

Need Not Pay for Bridge Constructed
by the Southern Pacific.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept Tn 1898
the Supervisors of Sacramento County
entered into an agreement with the
Southern Pacific Company whereby the
county agreed to pay $50, 900 toward con-
structing an overhead wagon bridge across
the Sacramento River, above the COM
pany's tracks. E. J. Crowley q citizen of
Sacramento. brought suit to prevent the
Supervisors from paying the money. The
case was tried before Judge Hunt OF San
Francisco, sitting in this county. The
Judge has filed his opinion in favor OF the
county.
Judge Hunt finds that there was no adj
yertisement or demand for bids, no bids,
no plans or specifications no working de-
tails, ETC., furnished to the board. no
order letting the contract upon plans
ADOPTED by the board, no contract nor no
bond executed for the faithful perform
ance of the work. The Judge disposes ad-
versely of the claim that the bridge was a
matter OF necessity, occasioning impera-
tive action by the board.

An immense quantity of terms and ever

MOUNT TAMALPAIs, CAL, Sept. T.
Once again has some malicious person
thrown the brakes on a passenger coach OF
the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais
Scenic road and allowed the car to speed
away to destruction. Last night at 5:15
O'Clock car standing on the sidetrack
near the summit was started down the
mountain. There was no one on the car,
and it went about 1000 feet before it
jumped the track and became wreck. 1t
gained speed as it sped along, and rounded
the curves beautifully until decidedly
sharp curve made it jump the track. A
wrecking crew was sent up and he car re-
moved. There is no clew as to who started

the great Agricultural Pavilion is assum-

white arch at the entrance, with its ac-
companying statues. to the m agnificently
draped dome.
The immense building is ablaze with
electric lights, which at times are almost
shaded by the binding rays thrown from
the revolving lights which caps the apex
of a genuine lighthouse erected by an
enterprising firm.
Perhaps the most complete display at
present Is that of native fruits which
comes from Niles, Alameda County.
II contains 500 varieties of tree fruit,
fifty varieties OF grapes and an almost un-
limited mum ber of olives and native and
foreign nuts. Out in the annexes the local
florists have display of flowers and ferns
which captivate all visitors who linger
among the masses of greenery.
