MAY GET HALF-HoLIDAY.
Movement to Have Schools Close for
Parade of Firemen and Police.

The public schools will probably be
closed for half day Thursday on the oc-
casion Of the annual parade Of the Police
and Fire Departments.
1t has been customary heretofore for
such holiday TO be granted the pupils
on this occasion. and the preliminary
steps looking to such action were taken
yesterday, when Major sylvester called
upon the District Commissioners and sug-
gested the matter to them.
After comforting with his associates
Commissioner Macfarland directed a let
ter TO the members of tine School Board
recommending that action be taken in ac-
cordance with Major Sylyester's sugges-
tiOp.
Several members Of the board have in
dicated their approval, and 1t is believed
that the holiday i'll be authorized.
The parade will not start until o'clock,
but il is deemed advisable for the chill
dren TO be permitted to return to their
homes and secure their lunches before
that hour.

RICH ENDOWMENT FOR
STANFORD UNIVERSITY
A GIFT OF S3O,OOO,OOO MADE.
Bonds, Stocks. and Real Estate
Decided to the Institution by
Mrs. Observation-Disclosures
Among the Gifts.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 9.-Mrs. Jane
L. Stanford today transferred to Stan
ford University by deed. bonds. stocks
and real estate valued at $50 900, goo, the
| largest single gift ever bestowed on any
institution of learning.
OF this amount half consists of gilt
edge bonds and stocks, paying large rev
enue. The real estate decided to the uni
versity comprises much OF the property
originally given by Senator Stanford, the
deeds Of which we're found to be Illegal.
The bonds include many securities that
have doubled in value within a few years,
and the accumulation of these and other
stocks since the death of her husband.
The Real Estate Decided.
The real property decided includes no
less than 900, 900 acres in about twelve
counties of California and comprises the
great Vina ranch of $1,000 acres. The
third deed conveys to the university Mrs.
stanford's home on the summit of Mob
Hill, one of the most finely decorated
houses in San Francisco, which, with
big lot, is worth 100000.
This will eventually be converted into
an art gallery and museum. Despite
these gifts, Mrs. Stanford has retained
property worth several millions, so that
She will be able to provide for many
charities.
This gift places Stanford in the first
financial rank among the great universi-
ties of the world, and will enable It 10
carry on, many projected Improvements.
Stanford University stands today as one
OF the two great educational institutions
west OF the Missouri. With the Uniyers-
ity OF California 1t ranks in efficiency
aud scope with Michigan, Chicago, Penn
sylvania and Cornell. and possibly ex-
ceeds any Of them in financial backing.
To Avoid Possible Contests.
Mrs. Stanford's purpose in turning over
ZOO, 600 directly to the trustees of the
ins.itution, instead of holding the bonds
in trust until her death. was probably TO
avoid any possible viii contest

GERS at Annapolis do not regard it likely

Commander Wainwright. superintendent

in an Interview today to a very salient
feature OF Mr.. Wachter's contention. In
urging his objections to the game. the
Representative stated that cadets in

fair to the Government

THE experience of Florentines
last winter in the matter of being
imposed upon by unsorupulouf
hawkers of horse flesh represented
as beef, ought to put them on their
guard this winter. 1t is being
persistently rumored that horse
flesh is again being peddled from
door to door in our city. Whether
the report is true or not THE TRI-
BuNE is not prepared to say. But
we venture the advice that it is
safer to deal with the men who are
conducting legitimate meat bust
ness in the city and be on the safe
side. Besides the butchers, who
have invested their money and are
prepared to cater to your wants,
are worthy of your patronage and
