AT the Fourteenth Continental Con-
sress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, when Mrs. Mclean was
Regent OF the New York Chapter. she
assisted in introducing a resolution
looking to the burial of Paul Jones in
Annapolis, Md, that being her native
State. Besides having local pride.
she thought the first naval hero of the
nation should be buried near to the

There was tremendous opposition to
the proposition, and the congress voted
to LAY the resolution on the table" an
expression used in parliamentary pro-
ceedings to defer action on the subject.
Later it was taken up but the congress
voted against taking the body of the
naval hero to Annapolis and favored
bringing it to Washington for burial in
Arlington. Mrs. Mclean has now, how
ever, seen one of her dearest wishes
carried out. and, as head of one of the
greatest societies of patriotic women
in the world, she was a guest of honor
at the recent burial ceremonies of Ad-

water front, seemed safe by o'clock.
Van Ness avenue is fiat as the earth
on the east side. Every pound of gun
cotton did its work, and, though the
ruins burned, it was but feebly. From
Golden Gate avenue on the north the
fire crossed the wide street in but one
place-the Claus Spreckels residence,
on the corner of California street.
There the flames were writhing up the
walls before the dynamiters could
reach it; yet they made their way to
the foundations, carrying their explo-
sives despite the furnace-like heat. The
charge had to be placed so swiftly and
the fuse lit in such hurry that the
explosion was not quite successful from
4 the trained viewpoint of the gunners.
But though the walls still stood, it was
only an empty victory for the fire, as
bare brick and smoking ruins are poor
food for flames.

cotton had left, but for three days the
haggard-eyed firemen guarded the flick

The desolate waste straight through

to the most heroic and effective work of
the whole calamity. Three men did

Million DollarS-Wili Probably be

One Of the nose serious results of
the Pacific coast earthquake disaster
is the destruction of Stanford Univer-
sity near Palo Alto. More than $780,
100000 had been expended on the
buildings alone, and the damage has
been so severe that it will mean prac-
tically an entire loss. This group Of
buildings was planned and built on a
prearranged scheme and has been ac-
counted the finest group of structures
for educational purposes on this con-
tinent, If not in the entire world The
buildings were all in the picturesque
Spanish mission style, with the arch as
t. principal architectural feature. This
fact, which was so much source of
beauty, has probably been the largest
source of destruction, because. while
the arch undisturbed is one of the most
secure of building forms, when thrown
out of plumb it must fall.

sairs and carvings inside and out, and
its marble statues and art treasures
from Europe.
Perhaps it may be said that the loss
of the buildings and equipment, in
spite of their great value, is the least
part of the disaster, because since the
university was started on Senator
Stanford's Palo Alto ranch it has been
marvellous incentive toward higher
education on the Pacific coast. Not
only has it gone ahead with great
strides on it's own account, but 1t has
carried the State University at Berke-
ley along with it in healthy rivalry,
until the two gave an equipment for
higher education in California that was
not rivaled by that of any other State.
MRS. STANFO. DIS GENEROSITY.
If it were not for the indomitable
spirit which seems to have enabled the
university to triumph over many dim
culties it might be said that its career
has been particularly ill-starred. For
in spite of its great endowment, said
to exceed that of any other institution
of learning in he country, it has been
Unfortunate fl u the beginning. VeX-
latious litigatio arose at the time OF
Senator Stanford death, in 1894, and
the claims put forward by those who
had received personal bequests, to have
them settled first, seriously impaired
the finances of the university because
it was impossible to realize upon Its
nroperty. After that the Pacific rail-
road suits tied up the university money
for a couple of years, until the Su-
preme Court decided in favor or the
| Stanford estate. But Mrs. stanford,
with wonderful courage and singleness
of purpose, unselfshly turned all of her
property over to the university, saw
it through its crises until her recent
tragic death in Honolulu. when the
Leland Stanford University was again
thrown in despair. Its present de-
struction by the earthquake seems to
come as a eliminating disaster. yet II
is probable that it will rise again sn-
perior to the conditions which seem
in league against it, though it has
practically been set back to an abso-
utely new beginning.
1t is already understood that plans
have been considered for the rebuild
ing of the university, as the statement

the young man or woman is likely to
look upon department service as
beautiful life of DO Little and Draw
Your Pay and watch the passing
show. But it has it's seamy side and
carries both advantages and disadvan-
tages in it's train.
There is the danger of fossilization;
of becoming a leaf in the sere; with
energies gone and aspiration dead.
This danger is great and seems almost
inevitable to him who has many years
of service in the departments. Though
all will not agree with the Hon. Champ
Clark in a recent article in the Satur-
day Evening Post when he says over
the doorways of the Departments
should be inscribed in letters so large
that he who runs may read:

should be entered only as stepping
stone to a more strenuous life Of
