The deaths have increased 40 per cent within three days. In the Kaira district there have been 1330 deaths in seven days. The Government has made a special grant of £61,000 to cremate the dead immediately. “In Palanpur State, on the first day, there was one death; on the second there were eighty four, and on the third there were upward of 400. The swiftness of the infection was due to the fact that the first death was near the only available water supply, The germs were thus car- ried all over the camp. “In the city of Bombay there have been sixty-seven "deaths in the last seven days. e educed to a memberghip RIOTOUS JAPANESE.

STANFORD I'Nl\';ZX(SlT\'. May 2. | The ninth annual commencement exer- were held here to-day in the bly hall. Addresses were made b; fessor W. H. Huds arr Jordan. One hundred and four degrees were granted, two of which were doctors of philosophy, twenty-one | masters of art and 145 bachelors of art. Music was furnished by the Palo Alto Choral Society, under the leadership of J. J. Morris. The commencement address by Profes- sor William H. Hudson upon “The Cu ture of To-day and the Literature of T morrow” was a classic dissertation upon the effect of literature upon the intellect, with special emphasis upon the future outcome of lMferary culture. After the degrees had been conferr=d President Jor- dan addressed the graduziting cla: ing as his lessgn the practical text, Knowledge Is'of Most Worth.” He spoke in part as follows: The diploma which you have just received allows you the name of “Bachélor of Arts, with ail the rights, honors and privileges here or elsewhere thereunto appertaining.”” This is a very old form of words, going back to a time when the scholar belonged to the privileged classes and constituted a caste by himself. There are no rights, honors or privileges at- tached to your degfee save those you carry within yourselves. It does not place you in any separate class or give you any hold on life which vou did not have yesterday, which you might not have without it. It admits you to the roll of Stanford Alumni, beloved of “your cherishing mother, and it bespeaks for you the attention of the com- munity as a youth of promise who has had fair opportunities for training, has used them faithtully, and from whom growth and achieve- ment may be expected. And now as we stand at the end of the cen- tury to which your teachers belong and at the beginning of the century which is yours, it may be worth while to glance back over the history indicated by these words of your di- ploma. “With all the rights, honors and privi- leges here or elsewhere thereuntoappertaining.’” The work which you have done is very dif- ferent from that of the youth of promise a century ago, who cherished their diplomas for the sake. of those very rights, honors and privileges which you will never find. It is clear that the knowledge is of most worth which can be most directly wrought into the fabric of our Iives.. That discipline is most valuable which will best serve us in “quietly unfolding our own individualities.” Thus far no standard had been agreed upon in these regards, nor did those who had the affatrs of higher education in charge recognize even the possible existence of such a standard. The rewards of knowing and doing are of- fered to all alike. They are the power to know he only lexitimate prizes of the real y. To place all men and all studies on one footing is to make a real republic of learning. This once done, the question of ““What Knowledge Is of Most Worth?"' is one for each man to answer for himself, What knowledge is worth most to me? And the very attempt to answer this question is in itseif one of the most Important factors in higher education. That each should answer it for himself is the essential element in the freedom of the university, and each year as it passes sees the American university more democratic and more free. —_— e -SPORADIC CASE OF BUBGNIC PLAGUE DISCOVERED Continued from First Page.
