IRREPARABLE ART Loss.

The main buildings are built around
an inner quadrangle, which contains
the Offices of administration and some
class rooms. These buildings are all
one story in height. The outer quad
rangle, which comprises the principal
architectural features of the univer-
sity, has as main points Of interest
the memorial arch, with its wonderful
frieze, by st. Gaudens, representing
the progress of civilization in America,
and directly opposite this, through the
inner quadrangle, the Stanford Memo
rial Church, with its mosaic front de-
picting the Sermon on the Mount"
This building cost, in construction
alone, $1,000,000, exclusive of the mo-
saics 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
a marvellous incentive toward higher
education on the Pacific coast. Not
only has it gone ahead with great
strides on its 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. STANFO4.D'S GENEROSITY.
If it were not for the indomitable
spirit which seems to have enabled the
university to triumph over many diff
culties it might be said that its career
has been particularly ill-starred. Fol-
in spite of its great endowment, said
to exceed that of any other institution
Of learning in the country, 1t has been
unfortunate from the beginning. Vex-
atious litigation arose at the time of
Senator Stanfords death, in 1894, and
the claims put forward by those who
had received personal requests, to have
them settled first, seriously impaired
the finances of the university because
it was impossible to realize upon its
property. After that the Pacific rail-
road suits tied up the university money
for couple of years, until the SUI
preme Court decided in favor of 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 it's crises until her recent
tragic death in Honolulu, when the
Leland Stanford University was again
thrown in despair. It's present de-
struction by the earthquake seems to
come as eliminating disaster, yet it
is probable that it will rise again SUI
perior to the conditions which seem
in league against it, though it has
practically been set back to an abso-
lutely new beginning.
1t is already understood that plans
have been considered for the rebuild
ing of the university, as the statement
has been made by President David
Starr Jordan to the students of the
university, asking them to remain and

the young man or woman is likely to
look upon department service as a
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 its 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 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:
"All Hope Abandon Ye Who Enter
Here"
Yet to the young man and woman
who would keep the fires of their am
bition burning, government service
should be entered only as a stepping
stone to more strenuous life of
higher and better things.

Built In Spanish Architecture and
Cost of Buildings Alone was Thirty
Million DOllars-Will Probably be
Rebuilt.
One of the NOSE serious results Of
the Pacific coast earthquake disaster
is the destruction OF Stanford Univer-
slty, 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 a 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.

When the annual convention of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
was in session in Washington a few
weeks ago the meetings were presided
over by Mrs. Donald Mclean. She en-
joyed the unique distinction of being
the first presiding officer of the con-
gress who was not the wife of some
man prominent in official circles. She
had been a candidate for this high
woman's Office for several years, and
the opposition to her election was
plainly stated because she could not
bring to the Office high national"
prestige, which the Daughters of the
American Revolution felt was neces-
sary to the varied traditions of the So
ciety.

world to stand still for moment
while they measure it for wings. In six
months he promises us that we will be

Several experts in times past have

bird, but heretofore when he has at
tempted to fly the coroner has been
obliged to issue report on the matter
in few well chosen words.

that In six brief months the impatient

Or something quite as bad
And there may be some reasons
For these diverging views
Why one should view you coldly.

at the New Phillips this week will
have occasion to regret it and the
indications are that this house is 60
ing to get its full share of the bus
mess that grows out of a very busy

One change has been made in the
program as a result of the team of
Varne and Valdare, sensational bicy-
Gle performers, being unable to reach
the city. In their place Cole and
Clemens who present a comedy turn,
were secured and they offer a singing
and talking act that is quite enter
tanning. Jimmie Rose, the man with
the funny noise, is a singing and talk
ing comedian of much ability and
keeps things moving while he is on
the stage. He gives the patrons of
the house an act that is always warm
ly applauded. The Earle Sisters come
in for full share of the applause
with their singing, dancing and char
acter changes. Manager Murray has
madean arrangement by which the
work of singh the illustrated songs
work of singing the illustrat-
ed songs is divided, Miss Ruby
