CAL|FORNIANS PASS
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

The California residents in Honolulu
| had a second meeting last night, and
passed resolutions of respect to the
| memory of the late Jane l.. Stanford
The resolutions. which will be suitably
| engrossed and sent to David Starr Jor-
dan, are as follows:
Tribute BY CaIfornianS Residing IN the
Territory of Ha7gaii to the
Memory of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford.
Mrs. Jane L. Stanford was pioneer
OF California and one of the best known
and greatest women in the world. The
late Senator Stanford, with whom she
always co-operated, was also a pioneer
and among the most prominent men III
the American Union. As wife and
mother, and as member OF society,
Mrs. Stanford stood foremost, not only
in California, where she had lived for
fiftv-fo years, but elsewhere. The Lee
land Stanford University was founded,
established and developed, with an enor-
nous amount of money contributed by
Senator Stanford and herself, ana
through their joint and uninter1nittent
labors, down to the time of the Sena-
tors death, and afterward by Mrs. Stan
ford herself. The university was IN
spired by the dying request of their
only son, and now stands as a 1nagnl1-
cent tribute to the noblest elements IN
human nature and to progressive c1vlll-
cation.
Mrs. Stanford was beloved wherever
she was known, and especially in Cali
fornia. Her personality was III high
degree intellectual and very magnetic.
Her private and unobtrusive charities
are beyond computation. She was rec
ognized everywhere as a woman OF
great mind, with heart open to every
necessity OF the human race, with I'M
usual power of concentrated labor and
effective administration, and a Combl-
nation of the finest clements of prac-
teal and vitalized Christianity.
There. We. Californians now resid-
ing within the Territory OF Hawaii,
recognizing the facts above outlined
and all they imply, as humble appre-
citation of an irreparable loss and a per.
sonal tribute to the memory of the de
ceased lady, do unanimously
Resolve That. in the death of Mrs.
Jane l. Stanford, humanity has been
deprived of one Of its most prominent
and effective champions, and the State
OF California which we specially rep
/
American woman, exalted alike IN her
domestic. her social and her personal
relations. whose character shone like
the evening star amidst the tumultuOus
progress of modern times, whose record
and whose memory are enshrined in our
hearts, and whose passage, at an advanc-
ed age to the eternal life has produced
an indelible effect upon the State she
honored. among advanced men and wo-
men everywhere. and upon the vast in
stitution of learning and of preparation
for the duties of life, which is a COM
bined and enduring monument, not
only to herself. but to her deceased
husband and their only son, and to hu-
mainly as a whole.
Resolved further, That copies OF this
preamble and resolutions be presented
to David Starr Jordan. President of the
Leland Stanford Junior University, to
the Governor OF the State of California.
to the Governor OF this Territory, and
TO the surviving and immediate rela-
tives of the deceased
