MRS. coRNELrA PHILLIPS SPENCER.

RALEIGH, N. c., March 14.-Escort-
ed by a large company OF alumni OF
the University of North Carolina and
other bereaved friends, the remains OF
Mrs. Cornelia Phillips Spencer were

Mrs. Spencer was eighty-three years
old, and more than fifty years of her
life were spent at the University of
North Carolina, where her father,
James Phillips, was for over forty
years professor of pure mathematics.
No North Carolina woman was moe
widely known. greatly admired or
highly esteemed. Indeed, she came to be
a patron saint. as 1t were, of the facul-
ty and student body of the university.
and welded nlatchless influence. AS
a writer In the religious and secular
press OF the State during the Civil
War and the Reconstruction period she
was power against reconstruction
and radicalism.'' It was under her
leadership that the Reconstruction
president and faculty Of the university
were driven out and the university
reorEanized in 1875. And through all
the ensuing years until 1894, when she
went to Cambridge to live with her
daughter, Mrs. Love, wife OF Profess
sor James L. Love, Of the Harvard fac
ulty. she was potent influence for
the upbuilding OF the institution. In
deed she is accorded the distinction
of "the mother of the university"
A brother of Mrs. Spencer. Charles
Phillips. was for nearly fifty years
professor OF applied mathematics al
the university, and another brother
Samuel F. Phillips was Solicitor
General of the United States under
three administrations.
This afternoon the remains of Mrs
Phillips were laid to rest in the famil!
burying ground at Chapel Hill besid

Of tuberculosis, held at Washington
Of that address. DR.. knopf maintains
that he said:

. is what he will do when lie gets
there. They have the assurance Of
a faithful service record covering
many years.
The corporation power is SUI
preme in Colorado. In Denver the
control is exercised by the four
corporations which furnish street
car transportation, water, gas and
telephone service. In the state it is
exercised by the smelter trust, the
Colorado Southern, the Denver &
Rio Grande railway, the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Co. and the mining in
terests. These powers now own the
supreme court, the governor, the
public officials of Denver. the
county officials of the county in
which Denver is situated, the sub
ordinate judges in Denver-with
one exception-the party organiza-
tions, republican and democratic. in
the city (of Denver, county and
state, and most of the newspapers.
A finishing touch to this corpora
ton structure will be the second
senatorship. Simon Guggenheim,
it will be recalled, of the smelter
trust, wears the toga of senior SEN
ator; now it only remains to add
the attorney of the Denver public
utility interests, and the work of
Colorado's predatory wealth will be
complete.
United States senators control
the appointment of federal judges.
They dispense other patronage.
They have influence in heading off
investigations into land steals, for.
est depredations, coal grabbing and
other things in which railway and
other corporations have a heart in
terest. So Charles J. Hughes jr.

The method of dispensing is the
familiar one of contributions to the
campaign expenses of the legisla-
