The bonds represented the bulk OF
Mrs. Stanford's private fortune, as well
as the accumulation of interest on the
bonds set aside by Senator Stanford
during his life but not transferred to
the university Many of these bonds
have doubled in value during the last
three or four years.
The redeeding of the real estate was
made necessary by the fact, that the
state supreme court held that the orig
inal deeds were not valid Thus for sew
eral years the university has been act
ually dependent for its existence upon
Mrs. Stanford's caprice, for at any time
she could have alienated this real estate
which formed the bulk Of the founda-
ton, and thus shut the doors of the in
stitution.
One deed transfers the bonds and
stocks to the university and provides
that nothing shall ALLEVIATE them. Upon
this gift the annual income at 3 per
cent will not be less than $4,000 From
the real estate the income is probably
not over s25e,0 900. This real estate in
cludes the great Vera ranch of $4,000
acres in Tehama county on which the
grapes are converted into brandy. The
vineyard covers $500 acres, and is the
largest in the world
Another big property is the Gridley
ranch of $4,000 acres, also In Tehama
county. which is mostly in wheat. Other
properties are in twenty-six counties
of California, and represent ranches,
mines, etc.
The grounds of the university proper
include 5000 acres and besides the spa
cious grounds around the buildings they
include a vinyard, orchard, and other
ranch properties.
A third deed transfers Mrs. Stand
fords home on Mob Hill to the univer-
sity. 1t was thought she would retain
this property until her death, but she
declared she wished to make her gift
complete. This fine house is superbly
decorated and furnished and is worth
100000 This will eventually be con-
certed into an art gallery and museum.
Despite these gifts Mrs. Stanford has
retained property worth several mill
lions so that she will be able to pro-
vide for many charities and to make
few requests to relatives and friends.
Her great ambition now is to push the
university buildings TO completion.
Many men are now at work on the me-
mortal chapel, which is to be the finest
of all the structures. Four other build
ings are now going up and plans are
being drawn for a great model gymna-

MRS. M'kINLEY FAILING.
Widow Of the Late President Prey to
the Deepest Melancholy.

Cincinnati, o.. Dec. 1O.-The visit OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles G. Dawes to Mrs
Mckinley at her home in Canton is
thought here to be significant. Reports
from Canton. while exceedingly guard
ed, are to the effect that the condition
of Mrs. Mckinley is regarded with great
anxiety by the family and close friends.
1t is generally understood that Mrs
Mckinley never fully recovered from
the effect OF her experiences on her Call
ifornia trip and her illness In San Fran
cisco. Then came the shock Of her hus-
bands tragic end. While she appeared
to endure this shock fairly well, it has
developed since that the heart breaking
strain made serious inroads on her ply
Hregretfully admitted by those near to
Mrs. Mckinley that both mind and body
have been seriously undermined, and
that there are signs that seem to indi-
cate she is falling rapidly.
One Of the unfavorable symptoms of
Mrs. McKinley's case is her mental con-
dition. She mourns constantly for her
husband, and can think or talk of no
other subject. The holiday season has
always been time for gayety with the
McKinleys but 1t is understood that
Mrs. Mckinley feels her bereavement so
poignantly that she has told her rela-
tives she has no heart to participate in
any Christmas festivities, 1t is said
that she has even asked to be left alone
in complete solitude In her room on
Christmas day.
Another fact shows how keenly Mrs.
Mckinley feels her bereavement, and
how constantly 1t occupies her mind. 1t
has repeatedly happened since the flu
neral that on pleasant daysfshe has had
rocking chair taken to her husbands
tomb. There, accompanied by a nurse
or friend, she has sat for hours beside
the tomb. plunged in grief and prey to
the deepest melancholy.
In the last two weeks this tendency to
melancholy has grown more marked,
and Mrs. McKinley's condition has be-
come source of anxiety to her friends
In Canton and to those who have gone
to see her from other parts OF the state.
So keen has the anxiety become that a
systematic effort will now be made to
interest her in the things about her, and
to take her mind away from the one
subject that absorbs her thoughts IN all
her waking hours.

5 The Hague, Dec. 10.-Here are the
facts regarding the duel between Prince
Henry, the husband of Queen W,lhel-
nina, and G. ]. Van Tets. one OF the
personal attendants upon the young
sovereign:
Notwithstanding the officials denials,
the duel was actually fought. 1t was
the result of 8 scene at the dinner table.
The prince was the challenger. yet he
insisted upon making the choice of
weapons and decided on pistols, as he
is better shot than swordsman. A
shooting party was especially arranged
to cover the meeting and to afford a
pretext for going away from the PAL
ace.
The queen suspected his intention and
implored the prince to decline to fight.
but he brusquely refused to do SO. 1t
was while awaiting the result Of the
duel that the queen fell Ill.
Van Tets was wounded In the stom-
ach. The ball was located, surgical
operation was found to be necessary.
and 1t was successfully performed.
Van Tets condition was hopeful Sunday
night, but morphine had to be injected,
which Is considered bad sign. His
three brothers were summoned to the
palace and saw the queen. Attic they
consider the wound vas fairly inflicted

He was Swede, and was accompanied
by his children, three boys.
The last time he saw his wife, he said,
was when she was passing into the
toilet room, almost an hour before. The
toilet room was searched and knife in
a pool OF blood and a broken window
told the story of her disappearance.
One of the boys said his mother had
asked him for sharp bread knife be-
ftre going to the toilet room. The first
intimation the members of the family
had of the tragedy was when the rail-
road officials informed them of it. The
woman was so years of age and APP
peared to have suffered from i'll health
The husband and children are Devil
nered and inconsolable. The woman died
about 10 p. m. and the family are de-
tanned pending the inquest. Swedes In
this district are interested in the case
and have called meeting to devise
means of aiding the unfortunate family.
The father is penniless. The only rea-
son given for the woman's rash act is
insanity caused by Ill health.

Tolstoi in His Old Age.
Ledger Monthly.

Ledger Monthly.
 If half. the chargeS made against Count Tolstoi by the Holy Synod of Russia be true, he has surely lost the simplicity of faith and the rock bottom certainty of religious belief that were shown in his writings of a few years ago. The countess has written an in- dignant letter of protest to the Synod against the decree communicating him from the Orthodox church and forbidding his burial in consecrated ground.
 The great Russian writer. now P years of age and in poor health, bears the boycott" of the church with calm ness and tranquility of mind.
 He is now at work on new novel, the story of the transformation of a beautiful butterfly of the world into a useful member of society, awakened to the realization of the dignity. prlvi- lege and majesty of real living. The book. which promises to be a strong one. seems to Illustrate Tolstois two seemingly paradoxic ideals-that every one should do everything possible for himself and that every one should help his fellow man with his work, or even do it for him. unQuestionably if need be. .... ..:
 All of Tolstois manuscripts, when finished. are rewritten by the countess or his daughters. This fresh copy is soon scored with corrections, sentences are cut out and new ones substituted. lnterlineations seem to form as much matter as the original draft, the cor rectionS hang over the margins ana are often connected by long lines with the phrases they amend. Ink of a different color adds to the seeming chaos. Finally third copy is made which is then tried" on a few faith full friends. Then. when 1t returns from the printer. Tolstoi begins to re- vise his proof as if it Were original copy, After he wrote "The Powers of Darkness" he read if to his tenants and the poor peasants laughed up- roariously-but unfortunately at the most pathetic passages.
