Hill, which adioins the Stanford resi-
dence on California street. The Mark
Hopkins institute is an adjunct Of the
University of California and Mr..
+searles' munifcent act in giving $780,
900 is not surprising in view of the fact
that he was the original donor of the
institute itself about ten years ago.
Mr.. Searles is the widower Of the
former Mrs. Mark Hopkins. Her first
husband was one Of the original pro-
iectors and builders Of. the Central and
Southern Pacific railroad properties.
When he died he left his widow ar an
estate worth more than $30,000,000,
married Edward F. Searles, an artistic
house decorator who had been in her
employ at one time..-.-
When she died she left the bulk of
her estate to him, and the will was con
tested by her adopted son, Timothy
Hopkins Of this city.
The latter made fight for the prop
| erty, and Searles had General Thomas
Il. Hubbard and other prominent New
proceedings. The late Russell J. vii
! son Of this city was Timothy Hopkins
principal attorney, and he finally
agreed on a compromise with Genera
Hubbard by which Hopkins received
! $5,OOO,OOO Of the estate and Wilson go
a fee Of 100000, Of which Searles pait
! $3.50, 1000 and Hopkins the other half.

including the Stanford and Crocke
families, could not understand why tn

was also asked for by Hopkins and re
