Extending the Analogy.

81 tell You" contended the boarder
with the brStiing hair. "the man who
says we ought TO live To be a hundred
years old is right. Look at the horse
1t takes horse four years To get its
growth. and it lives TO be twenty. II
takes a man twenty years to get his
growth. and by the same ratio he
ought TO live To be hundred. There
are lots OF things we can learn from
analogy"
81 don't know but you are right" re-
sponded the Unconditional boarder. For
instance, there is the flea. Ii jumps

There is no reason. therefore. why a

WILL NOT MAKE
ANY CHANGES
Leib Says Mrs, Stanferd'S
Death Does Not Affect
the College.

Mrs Stanford was one of the no
blest, best-hearted and clear-headed
women created by God and her death
is a great loss to the State of Califor-
nia,'' said S. F. Leib, vice president of
the board of trustees of Stanford Uni
versity. Her sole aim was to live to
self carried out. Her death is sad af-
fair; many will miss this good woman.
1t was totally unexpected"
Mr.. Leib said that the death of Mrs.
Stanford would make no change in the
conduct of the university, as for nearly
two years the trustees have had the
entire management of the properties.
Mrs. Stanford was a trustee and presi-
dent Of the board since the adjudicat-
Ing of the matters connected with the
estate In the courts. Mrs. Stanford was
very active in the affairs of the school
and was constantly advancing ideas.
Il When asked as to the theory that she
had been poisoned. Mr.. sLeib said he
knew nothing of the case, and added:
~ can hardly believe that she used any
such expression as is quoted while she
was dying, because I cannot believe
any person would have any object in
having her life end. i would not like
to express any more on the subject un-
til I know the attendant circumstances.
If she did give vent to any such ex-
preston as is reported then would be
of the opinion that the circumstances
were such as would justify it. I never
knew Mrs Stanford to make any re-
marks which would not be entirely JUS
stif1able for reasonable person to
make"
"A meeting of the board of trustees
will probably be called the last of this
week by Vice President Leib He will
consult with some of the trustees to-
morrow, but nothing has been decided
on. He said he presumed that Charles
Lathrop, Mrs. Stanford's brother, would
make all the arrangements for the gfu-

NOTE
TO RELATIVE
Mrs, LathFOp Gets Letter
Before She Learns Of
Sad News.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March l,
When the news Of the death of Mrs.
Stanford was received here shortly
after o'clock this: morning it came as
a thunderbolt from the clouds. The
information that the woman who had
endowed one of. the States great seats
of learning had passed away travelled
ike Wildflre, and immediately the flags
were placed at half mast, the lecture
halls closed and the whole town as we'll
as the university took on a mournful
air. -.--i -
One of the first persons in Palo Alto
to learn Of the death of Mrs Stanford
was her sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles g.
Lathrop. just before the sad tidings
reached her she had perused a letter
from her relative in which Mrs. Stan
ford told of a rough voyage to Hono-
lulu, sea sickness and final recovery as
soon as she was Installed in her hotel
This letter was brief. Referring to
her voyage Mrs. Stanford wrote: 'FThe
voyage to Honolulu was very rough
enc and L was sick during the trip.
When 1 arrived in Honolulu l felt a
change for the, better and 1 am exceed
ingly well now
This was probably the last letter
written by Mrs. Stanford 1t was
merely a personal communication and
contained nothing to show that the
benefactress of the university feared
death from poisoning or that she had
any enemies whom she was trying to
avoid. She did not speak of her busi-
ness affairs in the letter.
Mrs, Lathrop is Frustrated at the sad
news Of the death Of her sister r-in-law.
She is at a loss to believe whether Mrs.
Stanford was poisoned or whether she
died natural death. Judging by her
conversation it would appear that Mrs.
Lathrop has grave suspicious, but she
would not express them.
We are all shocked at the sad news, :"
said Mrs. Lathrop this morning. I'VE
are as much in the dark as the general
public as to the cause of the death of
Mrs. Stanford. These awful stories of
poisoning have completely unnerved
me and do not know whether to be-
liexea them or not
From the tone Of Mrs Stanford's
letter TO me / should judge that she
was in the best Of health and spirits
when II was written. She complained
of seasickness and slight illness. which
1 am sure did moi amount to much. for
she also stated that she was fully re-
covered on arriving at her hotel The
message of her death which reached ms
was very brief and contained no de-
tails

Iathrop and brother of Mrs. Stanford.
went Immediately to San Francisco as
soon as the news of the death of Mrs
Stanford was received. Lathrop will
have charge Of the affairs Of the dead
woman and is here for the. purpose of
comforting with the attorneys of the

GLOOMY SCENE
AT PAL0 ALTO
Students and Professors
Unite. in Expressing
. Their Sorrow.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March l.
Stanford University Is wrapped in
gloom. All day long little knots of. stu
dents have gathered at different places
ON the campus, quietly discussing the
sudden death of their .benefactor. From
the fraternity houses hang black
mourning bands and all the flags are
flying. at ha1f-mast. This. afternoon
there was a memorial service in the
great church, built by Mrs. Stanford in,
memory of her husband. No one spoke
to the students. but the organ played
the message that was meant to be sent
to the undergraduates University ex-
ercises We're suspended for the day and
all athletic and. dramatic entertain
ments have been postponed
. The news of Mrs. Stanfords death
came to the campus as the first classes
of the morning were at recitation.
few minutes before the great flag of
the university had been; raised and it
was In plain sight, flutteringi in the
early, breezes. On a sudden it was low
cred to half mast With one accord the
students and professors suspended
work and left the classrooms Every
where was heard the inquiry tWhat-is
the NATTER" not one student dreaming
that the founder of their college was
dead. AS the truth became known the
students left quietly for their homes
until the campus seemed deserted.
NO CHANGE.IN POLICY.
In an interview this afternoon Presi-
dent Jordan said that the policy of the
university would not be changed be-
cause OF the death of Mrs Stanford.
Anticipating such a crisis; Mrs. Stan
ford had prepared for the emergency
two years ago, when she turned her
vast fortune over to the trustees Of the
university. She gave about thirty mil
lion dollars, reserving about three mil
lion for her own use. Out of the. small
er sum she has maintained the
museum, decorated the. memorial
church and started the new library. In
her speech before the board of trustees
when she turned the management of
the property over to them, Mrs. STAN
ford. suggested that her PaIo Alto
mansion be used as the home of the
president Of the university after her
death. Mrs. Stanford was in close
touch with the board Of trustees and
their policy was her policy. SO that her
death win necesitate no changes. AS
soon as the buildings are completed the
work Of increasing the faculty will be-
gin and internal improvements will be
made. Everything will progress along
the same lines as before Mrs. STAN

take place here as soon as the, body

win be laid in the beautiful nrausOleunF
where the bodies Of her husband and
son have lain for some years. The arr.
rangements for the funeral are in the.
hands Of Charles q. Lathrop, brother
of Mrs. Stanford.
One of the saddest Incidents OF the
tragic end of the benefactress OF the
great university is the illness Of the
Rev. 3. Charles Gardner, chaplain OF
the college and personal friend of the
dead woman. DR.. Gardner at the pres
ent time lies at deaths door. stricken
with typhoid fever. A corps Of doc
tors and trained nurses are constantly
Watcnlng over him and awaiting the
crisis.
DR.. Gardner was taken III several
days ago and soon his condition be-
came serious. So low was he yesterday
that his physicians refused to allow
the news Of the death of Mrs. STAN
FORD TO be conveyed to him lest the
Snock might prove fatal. If a change
Tor the better comes tomorrow, the
clergyman may be told OF the sad
news, out Ii is unlikely that his con-
dition will warrant this.
1t was one of Mrs. Stanford's re-
quests that the rites over her remains
be performed by the chaplain of the
university to which she had devoted
her Life and fortune to make one OF the
greatest seats of learning in the coun-
try. From the present Indications IL
would appear that this request can
not be carried out and the services will
undoubtedly be read by other than Dr.
