HODGE S RESIGNATION.

It is to be regretted that c. E. Hodges, resident
architect Of the Leland Stanford Jr University feels
piqued at the criticism of his work at the great in
stitution of learning in the planning of beautiful
architectural features. The random comment of a
pair of young correspondents gave rise to reports
that tended to reflect upon both the judgment and
the ability of Mr.. Hodges, but he should consider
the source of these unfounded rumors.
In the building Of certain notable structures of
the Stanford University Mr. Hodges had accom-
plished that Of which the State of California was
proud In reconstructing the damaged works Of
architectural art the eminent gentleman would un-
doubtedly be as strong factor as when he directed
the creating of the vast monuments to the memory
of Leland Stanford Jr. Mr.. Hodges is quoted as
having said that the more man sticks to the
truth in this country the more he is criticised In
this statement undoubtedly made in moment Of
nettled pride Mr.. Hodges himself strays somewhat
from the facts. But in view of recent circumstances
he is in measure excusable. However, the gentle
man will without doubt on giving the matter fur
ther and serious consideration, alter his opin-
iOn and when he returns to England he will leave
with the knowledge that California is truly CRATE
full to him for his efforts in her behalf.
The people of the State would want Mr. Hodges
to return to his native land with good impressions
Of this glorious country of where the only
that people have for hammers is in the erection of
a greater and better San Francisco.

The work Of rebuilding San Francisco will create
q demand for building material unprecedented IN
modern times. This demand must inevitably bring
10 the fore the fact that California has within her
borders inexh%lstible deposits of the best building
material in the world. These deposits range in
character from those of common clay, from which
ordinary red bricks are made up to the finest grades
of building marble There are lodges of granite
that would build half the cities Of America; there
are deposits OF materials from which cement

PEOPLE AND THINGS. | BY Loe

Once again is the public allowed to
peep into Anna Gould de Castellane's s
skeleton filed cupboard Once again is
the overworked cable flashing news
about Count Boni and his luckless
Countess, and retailing tales of a COM
plete and happy reconciliation in the
supposedly unhappy household. 1 do
not know any one who is particularly
interested whether this gossipy morsel
is true or not 1 except, of course,
Judge Graham. Personally, / dont
care, one way or the other, only, if it
is true, 1 am sorry that Madame la
Comtesse had so much to say previ-
ously.
There is nothing so uncertain as a
disagreement between husband and
wife.
In 80 cases out of a hundred, unless
the misunderstanding is based on
causes that honorable men and women
cannot condene, it is kiss and make up.
That is why it is so unfortunate when
these domestic disturbances become
public property. And that is why there
is nothing so risky as taking sides in
marital quarrels.

The sooner men and women realize
this the better.
Many is the insignificant and trifiing
misunderstanding that has been so
magnified by the better half of the
menage retailing it to her sympathiz-
ing friends that it has grown into a
breach that cannot be bridged
1t is a sorry thing to have to confess.
1t is nearly always the woman that
talks. Men rarely tell. There is moth
ing that angers a man more than the
thought that his wife is retailing in
innate domestic affairs to a circle of
interested friends. 1t is the surest and
quickest way 1 know of to make a man
dislike his wife's friends And that, as
every one knows. is always an infalli-
