Girard lett minute instructions re-
garding the construction and manage
ment of the college. The main build
ing, which was built according to his
directions. is of white marble, and in
its design resembles a Greek temple.
1t is considered the purest specimen OF
that style Of architecture in this coun-
try. A colOnnade of "a Corinthian col
umns form the peristyle and aid in
supporting the splendid marble roof.
The remains Of the great phlanthro-
riat rest in a marble crypt in this
building, and in front of it is marble
statue of Grard. The face of this
statue was copied from death mask
taken at the direction of DR.. John Y.
Clark. The artist never saw his sub
ject and was obliged to form the fig
ure from descriptions given him and
, with the aid of the clothing found
among the effects Of the dead philan-
tiropist. It cost 100000, but has never
been accepted as satisfactory by the
friends of Girard. Last year splendid
bronze statue of Girard was erected by
the alumni of the college, and now
stands in front of the Philadelphia city
hall. 1t is said to give better idea of
the real appearance of the founder Of
the college than anything yet done in
this line.

WANTED HIS MONEY BACK
And Mr.. Robb Got It Too by Suing the
City on a Technicality

w. b. Robb was given judgment in
Judge York's court yesterday for $500
against the city of Los Angeles.
The suit arose from a school building
order of the city council. There was an
order made by the council on July II.
1895, directing publication of an invita- :
ton for bids on a contract for building
a school on Gates street and one on San
Pedro street. The law requires the
publication to run ten days, but the in
vitation ran only nine days.
Robb bid on the work and was award
ed the contract. having deposited a
guarantee check for $1,000. When he
looked over the matter, though, he de-
