FUNERAL OF MRS. STAMFORD.
Death Now Believed to Have Been Du.
to Natural Causes.

Funeral ceremonies were he'd in Homo
lulu. Hawaii, yesterday over the body Of
Mrs. Jane L. Stanford at the Congrega-
t1onal Church. The Episcopal burial serv-
Ice was read by Bishop Restarick The body
was then taken to the steamer. Bertha
Werner, Mrs. Stanford's secretary, and
May Hunt, the maid, sailed with the body
as did President Jordan and others who
left for San Francisco.
DR.. Jordan and Timothy Hopkins trustee
OF Stanford University, united in a signed
statement in which they say:
I'VE are fully convinced that the death
of Mrs. Stanford was not due to strychnine
poisoning nor to intentional wrongdoing Of
any one. We find in statements of those
with Mrs Stanford in her last moments no
evidence that any of the characteristic
symptoms Of strychnine poisoning were
present.
I'VE think it probable that death was due
to a combination of conditions and circum-
stances. Among these We may note in
combination with her advanced age the I'M
accustomed exertion. the Surfeit Of insult
able food and unusual exposure during the
picnic to which she went on the day of
her death. These conditions were perhaps
somewhat aggravated by the presence Of
capsules and possibly also by the presence
Of a small amount Of strychnine contained
in dose of bicarbonate Of soda.
1.-The occurrence of this strychnine In the
soda has not yet been explained The fact
that it was not in excess of the usual me-
dicinal proportions suggests that It's pres
ence was due either to an error OF the
pharmacist or that the combination was
prepared for tonic purposes

BOYD'S. Md. March 15 1905.
A few minutes before II o'clock last night
the citizens of Brunswick were aroused by
the cry of fire. Three residences were
ablaze before the general alarm had been
given. and the result was the destruction of
these three dwellings and the scorching of
another, entailing loss of over $1,000 in
all.
The fire broke out in the cellar of Engi-
neer Rolly Pearl, who runs on the BaIu-
more and Ohio railroad, and the dense
smoke partially suffocated a little, child
Mrs. Pearl was awakened and her inVesti-
cations soon brought to light the fact that
the first floor was almost in flames AS
she escaped she gave the alarm, and the
Brunswick fire engine quickly appeared,
but owing to the fact that water was some
distance away. but little could be done and
In less than two hours after catching on
fire the buildings were in ruins.
Those who suffered losses were: Rolly

stroyed. loss 5000: James Callhan. resi-

snow any thrift or any desire to buy homes
or better their condition. They earn enor-
NOUS wages compared with what is paid for

miner OF average intelligence will earn from

more than 90 cents day to live. even
with a family. But most of the money Is
wasted In dissipation and in the gratifica-
tion or childish taste for trinkets and
useless things The best authorities tell
me That not one miner in ten pretends to
save his wages and no amount Of persua-
sion, no influence that can be brought can
induce them to do So

Nomini Creek to Be Dredged.

Nomini creek. one Of the important tr!b-
utaries Of the Potomac. which is visited
several times each week by steamers from
this city, is to be dredged under the direc-
ton of United States army engineers. Sew
eral years ago cut was made through a
shoal of the mouth Of the creek. and a
high stone jetty was built along the edge
OF the dredged channel to prevent the sand
shifting into the deeper water. The winds
gradually filled in behind the jetty with
sand, and the last few years the sand has
blown over the top Of the wall and into
the channel. 1t Is to remove this great &C
cumulation of sand and to restore the chan
mel to Its original depth that the dredging
WORK mas been ordered. Bealls Thomp-
sons, McGuire's, Mount Holly and Nominj

Use Of "Spatter Gravel"

novel kind of building material is used,
which is economical and effective In lend
ing itself to architectural display. The ex-
terror of house, built of ordinary lumber
from the foundation to the caves, may, at
a small expense, be transformed into
close imitation of rock stone by the
use of what is Familiarity called "spatter
graver'-a composition of fine gravel and
cement. which is smeared upon the wooden
walls to the thickness of an inch or So and
sticks forever. No storm. no dampness
not even an earthquake can shake Its grasp
upon the wooden walls. When 1t dries It
is impervious to dampness: 1t is a slow
conductor OF both heat and cold. and Is as
durable as brick. Many of the finest man
sons OF Birmingham. which look as If they
were built of stone, are merely wooden
shells. covered with that sort OF stucco.
There is good deal of civic pride here.
and the citizens seem harmonious In their
efforts to build up the city. The churches
