STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY,
March 2o.-Although storm sig
malls were stored carefully away
today on the campus of Stanford
university. leaving an outward ap-
pearance of normal serenity that
extended practically to all college
activities, the atmosphere was
surcharged with feeling that ran
even higher than yesterday, when
no attempt was made to stifle the
expression of student sentiment.
But it was such calm as pre-
cedes storm, and the university is
trembling on the verge Of a conflict
that could only result in a grave crisis
Firmly intrenched in its belief that
an injustice had been done the l. stu
dents who were summarily suspended
for participation in the parade the
night of March u. and with the knowi-
edge that its own formal actions so far
have been such as TO win public senti-
ment TO its side and capture the sympa-
thies OF a large proportion Of the fac
ulty members. the student body is
merely holding itself in leash to await
the final decision of the student affairs
committee. The hope indulged by the
students Thursday night that a salts
. =. II
yet be reached received staggering
blow this morning when the faculty
committee accepted the formal express
sion of sentiment adopted by the stu
dents at the huge mass meeting Thurs
day night and answered it with Teit-
Grafton Of its intention not to recon
slider the cases of the Il men already
suspended.
PRESIDENT JORDAN ALOOF
President David starr Jordan has as
yet refused to take any action looking
TO a settlement of the trouble. but has
declared that the entire matter Is in the
hands OF the student affairs COMMITTEES
and has not even signifed his willing
ness to review any Of it's proceedings
Apparently the board of trustees has
taken no more active interest in the
situation than has the president OF the
university. and without Intervention
from the president or the trustees there
is but scant possibility of a peaceful
settlement. for the breach between the
students and the faculty committee was
wIdened by the developments today.
In final effort to exert an influence
which may result In a settlement OF
the differences between the faculty and
the students and avoid the hurtful no.
toriety that the university would in
evitably receive in the event Of gem
erai strike OF the student body. steps
were taken today TO bring about action

. ----S. :. FN8iH n. 9amoa's Talking Man.

Samoa's talking man, or tOlafah, is a character. All the affairs of state of the village in which he holds office are carried upon his shoulders. In or dinaEys he is the chief adviser, per Buader, c0nvincer and restrainer of the leading chiefs. Having the gift of elo- quence, he makes the most of 1t. He enjoys immunity from many things. He, cannot be spoken of in ordinary terms. If it should be necessary to Vpeak of his eyes or his mouth or his limbs, special honorable words must be used. words which attach to him alone and have never been applied to the personal parts of ordinary men. As he stands to-, deliver his soft per- Buasive, mellifuous oratory, with stan of office in his hand, any one can see that he is a man of great importance, or if this is not apparent from his at- titude it may be gathered from the at tention paid to his utterances by, gray haired: chiefs and by youth and maid ems. If the talking man is 8 clever fellow and understands his business, he is the chief ruling power in his tribe, although the nominal headship Is always vested in a chief or patri- archal hgurehead.

How .MxekoH. Wa. Revealed.


 The late Professor Walter A. Wyck- of of Princeton had a passion for knowledge at first hand and will be best remembered as the college pro- lessor who studied labor conditions by becoming himself laborer. Starting in 1891 in Connecticut with no money and with suit of overalls. he worked his way through nearly every state in the Union after the fashion of the floating labOrers of this country, so many of whom ultimately become tramps. Wherever there was a possi- btlity of work he applied for 1t, wheth- CT 1t were digging ditches, wrecking houses or factory work. For awhile his incognito usually worked well, but as soon as his fellow laborers saw him at table they at once began to suspect him. His manner of eating, his way of holding knife and fork, at once set them .speculating. Once he was seen drinking tea at a fellow laborer's house in Chicago. He lifted the saucer from the table, held 1t in his hand and forgot himself so far as to drink with out noise. 'I knowed then," his host afterward said, 'that he was a swell masquerading."-Harper's Weekly.

There was small respect in Captain Maybury's mind for the brains of the artists whom he and his wife harbor- ed and fed during the summer.

Why They Don't Desert.

Instances of desertion from the army in Mexico are very rare and for the best of reasons" said SonOr Jose de Minaldez ofsNueva Leon.
 '@The reason. lies in the almost suro capture of the fugitive and the certain ty that he will get not one but -numer- ous foggings on his bare back. These lashings are done in the presence of the comrades Of the deserter. and when the men see how great is the suffering of the miserable wretch. who tried in vain to quit his military obligations they are forced to- conclude that 1t is better to stick to- the army than to un- dergo such a terrible ordeal" ."-Balti- more American.

Roger. the great French tenor. . sen- sitive soul. was prone to take offense at any slight whether intentional or not. On one occasion he was engaged for 1,2O0 francs to sing at the house of a wealthy fHaneier Roger sang his first song magRifcently. but no one paid him the slightest attention, and the guests continued to talk their loud est. Presently the host thought the time had come for another song and sent for Roger. He could not be found and that evening was seen no more. Next day there came note from him, accompanied by 1,5OO francs. The note ran something like this:
 ''I have the honor to return the 1900 francs which I received for singing at your function, and I beg leave to add 800 francs thereto for having so great ly disturbed the conversation of your guests. Chicago Record-Herald.
