The Stanford Benefaction.

In giving the bulk of her fortune,
to the estimated amount of $10,000,-
900, to Stanford University, Mrs.
Jane Stanford has simply carried out
her well-known intention. Before
Senator Stanford died he and his vito
had perfect understanding with re-
gard to the disposition OF their wealth.
They planned the university together.
During the Senator's lifetime the in
stitution was opened and endowed
with about eighty thousand acres of
land. He left it only 50, 500, 900 in
his will, because he thought it only
fair that Mrs. Stanford should be al
lowed to carry out the plans they both
had made.
Since his death his widow has de-
voted almost all her income to the
support of the university. She has
carried through litigation on its be-
half, and has secured the submission
to the people of an amendment ex-
empting its property from taxation
Now she thinks that the time has
come to crown her splendid philan-
thropy, to which she has devoted her
life as we'll as her money, by endow-
ing it with her wealth in name as we'll
as in fact.
The condition that the number of
women students shall never exceed
500 would have seemed CURIOUS if it
had come from a man-from woman
it will make the advocates Of women's
rights gasp. The desire to preserve
college spirit, which is assigned as
the reason for this action, might have

ing a proportion between the numbers

The manner in which three women
and man saved the lives Of passen-
ger and two members of the crew of
the steamer Chilkat, which was wrecked
on Humboldt Bar, while going out of
the harbor of Eureka, CAL, is remark
able.
The Rev. P. Z. Peterson, the pastor
of the Scandinavian Methodist Church,
sf Eureka, had gone to the life-saving
station to see some of the members of
the crew with whom he was acquaint-
ed. While he was there the plight of
the Chilkat was discovered.
The life-boat was sent out and then
the preacher went down ON the beach,
where he was speedily joined by Mrs.
Mclean, Mrs. R. E. Henning and Miss
Shumway. They saw the wreckage
drift in and an empty life-boat. Pres
emily Mrs. Henning discovered in the
boiling surf man apparently cling
ing to some wreakage and much ez-
hausted.
Mr.. Peterson waded through the
surf, keeping upright with difficulty
until he reached the man, who was a
passenger named Mooser, from Oak
land. Peterson dragged him through
the water to the shore, where the
women came to his aid. The rescued
man was unable to stand and was al
most unconscious.
Then a second man was discovered
among some wreckage. He was Peter
Johnson, the first mate. He was max
ing desperate effort with his remain
ing strength to keep up i'll the water,
there being not enough wreckage about
him to support his weight.
The minister reached Johnson just
as he was about to let go, and with
the aid of women dragged him to a
place of safety. While they were car

Siberia is ahead of this country in
some things. according to John W.

there is placed in front of the station,

passengers, large cask of cool water
that has been boiled, and it is the

A Hint For Large Women.

There are tailors and modistes who
think that large person looks bet
ter in a skirted thrte-quarter coat
than in a position basque bodice.
This is mistake. The skirts of the
coat may conceal in degree the un-
graceful curves of the figure, but they
do not improve it, and furthermore,
the length OF these coat skirts cuts off
SO much of thu needed length of the
dress skirt beneath. If not liked,
the position basque bodice can be
changed for an entirely different style
of gown, which is very often the best
