Stanford Graduates Directed to Paths of Right- ecusness. Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 25.— The Rev. Frederick W. Clampett, pastor of Trinity Episcopal Church in San Fran- | cisco, preached the baccalaureate sermon | |in the assembly hall this morning. He | took his text from Ephesians, iv:13, “Till | | we all come in the unity of the faith and f the knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the | | stature of the father of Christ.” He sald in part: | *“The reputation of this great university | !is not made by the strength of her fac- ulty. Each and every one of you who | goes forth from her walls to take up life’s | | task, te do the duty that lies next to you, | to do it honorably and faithfully, to take | your place in the national life and to en- ter upon the rights of your citizenship— | upon you will rest the great responsibility | f maintaining the name of your aima | mater. Nor can this be done by mere | cleverness, for behind mental ability | | there must shine the light of a strong, | | true, pure character. A clever man may | not be a good man, even as a good man | | may not be a clever man: but goodness is | | ever first in order. Therefore it is that | to complete an education a man must | | know where he stands relatively as be- | tween the life that now is and the more | abundant life beyond; or, if you prefer to | make it so, between thegnatural life now and that higher spiritual life which is yours by the truth of birth and by the | birth of truth. | THE TRUE IDEAL. | | f “When that great mind of New Eng-| {land, Emerson, urged the cultivation of | lofty aims his well-known counsel clinched his conception of the true ideal in the | words, ‘Hitch your wagon to a star.’ I { of aiding the memory, what each letter | of the word stands for—sanctification. | There is not perhaps a word in the whole | range of theology more misunderstood | and misquoted than the word ‘sanctify.’ | {1t would appear that the responsibility | for its misuse rests quite as much upon | the Christian as upon the non-Christian | world. I will venture to say that if I were | to point to a student crossing the campus | and say to an average companion, ‘Yon- | €er is a saint,’ that average companion would intuitiv picture a man separated from his fellows, dressed in the uniform | | of holiness and the possessor of a certain spirit that would characterize the man in the temple of old. ‘God, I thank thee that {1 am not as other men are.’ “This method of viewing the foundation of true character is a libel against Chris- | | tianity. A holy man is a wholesome ma | Sanctification is good health. It enters the very holy of holies of a man’s being. It involves a _self-control—that royal | thing without which there can be no real | | Strength: the capacity to say ‘T will' by the grace of God when there is need of | a strong negation. { LESSON OF DUTY. | “Passing from the first letter of ‘star’ iia the ideals of sanctification, we shall | | consider the second pillar in the qualities | included in the spirit of Thoroughness. | Search where you will, there is not a | page in history that pictures such a thor- ough life as that which the gospels de- pict in the life of the son of God. No- where is the lesson of duty taught with | such sublime force. This is an age of in- | tenseness, .of unremitting struggle, in | | which we almost idolize that quality | known as ‘the strenuous life.' And who | knows it better than those who between | the gges of 20 and 30 are learning that the only” genius is the genius of hard work; | who toil on with ambitious flame to make | 2 mark for themselves in the world? I am confident that 1 stand this day before hundreds of such lives who would hail | the encomiums of the professor, ‘There | goes a thorough student,’ with that just | pride that takes possession of the British | soldler's_heart as he clasps the Victoria | cross. To you who go out from these | walis to make your record the burning words of the great, strong thinker, Rob- | ertson, when dying, ‘It is finished,’ must | | come home with special force. To dig | | deep down to the bedrock of your better | | life, to build a strong foundation of a | | Christlike faith, to erect a temple of life's | | tasks in your profession as a citizen, as | | a Christian gentleman and gentlewoman, | to do it well, to do it thoroughly. | | “Taking the third pillar that supports | | he tempie of true Christian character, it will be ound in the doctrine of Annihila. tion—self-annihilation in service. The su | cexs whicn has attended you in your uni- | versity career has been in_proportion as Y i | you have lost yourself in vour subject. | Now as you go forth into the fulfillment | [0( your life purpose, just as you experi- | ;erce this process of self-annihilation, | | even so will your life work prosper. i | FIRST LESSONS OF B.E‘VEBENGE.! “Finally, let us dwell upon the structure | of that fourth pillar, which completes the | *star’ of Emerson, in the essential ele- ment of Reverence. The age is not a re erent one; it cannot be until reverence is | nursed in the conservatory of the home. Parental restraint is scoffed at by chil- dren barely in thelr teens. Where the first lessons of reverence are not home lessons | the spirit of reverence will likely pass from home to school, to college and to | church.” The annual anniversary meeting of the | University Christian Association was heid | in the chapel to-night. The meeting was | particularly well attended. The Rev. C.| | R. Brown of Oakland spoke on “The | )adnsage of Religion to the Men of To- ay.” To-morrow night Encina Hall will bs | the scene of the senior ball. Owing to | the fact that Manager Lathrop refuses to | allow the ball to be used for dancing ! after 12 o'clock the committee has been obliged to have the dance begin at 6| o'clock in the afternoon.

He Is Satisfled With Line Being Built by Mackay's Ccmpany. e Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET N. W., WASHINGTON, May 25.—Senator Per- kins of California, who introduced the Corliss Pacific cable bill in the Senate, | speaking to-day of the recent decision of the House Committee on Rules as to a time for the consideration of the measure in the House, said: 1 have been for years anxious for a cable across the Pacific. I .introduced the Corliss bill, confident of its passage through both bouses. 1 had an impression that the only way to get a Pacific cable was to have the Government build it. The fact has developed that a_perfectly cavable private company has decided to build a cable without any Govern- ment ald and has begun the work. This com- pany, the Commercial Pacific Cable, bas of- fered to build th& cable upon its own respon- | sibility with its own money, and at its own risk, and as a fact is now proceeding very rapldly with the work. The Senate Naval Af- fairs Committee, to whom this bill was re- ferred, took up the question and found this was the situation. I then asked that my bill be indefinitely laid aside and the committee assented to this by a unanimous Vote. Government should either now or hereafter de- sire to own a cable across the Pacific the only reasonable thing for the Government to do is to let this company bulld the cable and then buy it. / Represeniative Loud of California, an speaking to-day on the same subject, said: I do not beliéve the Government should em- bark in any enterprise which can legitimately be carried on by private individuals. “John W. Mackay, the head of this company, is held in the highest esteem In California, both as a business man and as a citizen. I have abso- lute confidence in his word and that he will do whatever he agrees to do. Rdepresen!a(l\'e Woods of California aid: e With the work of building the Pacific cable under way with a private company of un- doubted integrity and responsibility back of it, it seems to me that the proposition for the Government to expend $10,000,000 or. $20,000,000 in this enterprise is unworthy of consideration. | CONCLUDES FESTIVAL WITH ANNUAL OUTING San Francisco Schuetzen Verein En- tertains Its Many Friends at Shell Mound Park. The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein concluded its annual May festival yester- day with a family outing at Shell Mound Park. The attendance was very large, and those present voted the occasion a most enjoyable® one. The company, in uniform and accompa- {nied by numerous friends, assembled at Turn Verein Hall and marched to the ferry in time to catch the 10 o’clock boat. The day’s amusements consisted for the most part in dancing, bowling and rac- ing. F. Lilkendey, the mew king, was crowned late in the afternoon amid great enthusiasm. The amateur quarter-mile race proved the most exciting event of the day. Berges won, Harry Irwin secured second place and George Berges third. The prize was a handsome silver cup given by Al Pape. The success of the affair was due mainly to the efforts of the following committee of arrangements: Chafrman, Otto Lemcke; treasurer, P. J. Rathjen: John Thode, F. Hensel, D. Salfield, R. Stettin, H.

Lucio Bracamontie, a marine fireman living at 324 Vallejo street, was held up by three young men on Sansome street, about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and $6 10 was taken from his pockets. The robbers knocked Bracamontie down, and he had to be sent to the Harbor Hospital to bave a wound in his scalp attended to. Bracamontie had been drinking in a seloon at 517 Broadway, and after leav- ing there to go home he walked down As he was passing Gray Bros., rock-crushing rlant the three young men stepped ouc of the shadow and assaulted and robbed him. He had a watch and chain and a scarf pin, which the robbers did not take, although all these articles were in plain view. He was unable to give an accu- rate description of the trio..

SR Interment to Be Made on Her Rhode Island Estate. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, May 2.—Death to-day claimed Polly, the parrot which for a quarter of a century had been a pet in the family of Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, To- morrow that ancient and parti-colored bird will bée borne to her last resting- place. Newport will furnish the sepulcher and by the sea will she find repose. Arrangements for the funeral of Polly | are now almost complete, although it is | too early at present to glve the full de- : tails. With plumage composed, with the | evelids closed and the beak firmly com- | pressed, Polly now lies in state. A box carefully prepared will receive the form and to-morrow morning it is expected that ornithological retainer of the houses of Fair and Oelrichs will be conveyed to the Rhode Island watering place. The interment will be on Mrs. Oelrichs’ es- tate. Borrow served the household - to-day | When it was known that Polly had drawn | her last difficult breath and had winked her eye in vain at the grim fowler. The bird had preed her feathers and had tried in vain to rise to her feet. Her plumage had lost its luster and her eyes were devoid of that familiar sparkle, yet she made a brave effort. Polly was at least 25 years old. How much older than that she may have been is purely a matter of conjecture, as she talked of everything but her own age. Ever since Mrs. Oelrichs was a child she had Polly for a pet. The parrot was one of the members of the Fair household in San Francisco. She traveled on the spe- cial car Cupid in which Mr. and Mrs. Oelrichs made their bridal tour across the continent. L e e e e ] LONDON MARKET ENJOYS A BOOM Hope of Barly Peace Causes an Advance in Prices. LONDON, May 2.—After many weeks of anxious waiting the peace announce- ment has finally crystallized into a strong upward movement on the Stock Ex- change. In spite of the lack of definite news, official or-otherwise, from Pretoria, the market assumed strength on the gen- eral indications that peace was assured. The buoyant tone in nearly all the de- partments has been increasing steadily | throughout the past week, so when the | official announcement of peace comes the ! boom will probably already be in full swing and every reasonable advance will be fully discounted. As for weeks past, the market is still indebted to the bank by ol\v‘;;' ‘fZ.OO0,000,uwhlle the I'flow Govern- ment disbursemen repayment o! this lndehmfln‘esm‘n. wph"y:n:m | announcement “of peace is expected to | hasten the full resumption of work in the | Rand it is likely that the industrial re- | quirements of the reconstruction period in South Africa will absorb quite as much cash as the mines produce in gold for the remainder of the present year. There is censequently - little prospect for easy mmoney unless gold comes from the Conti- nent. It is assumed that New York is | more likély to demand gold than to send \ere. Buying, which lately has been restricted to gilt-edge investment stocks, is now ex- tending to the more speculative issues. Home ralls have made advances, and it | is known that many new issues of capital are pending, and this knowledge renders buyers chary. It is also_known that about 2000 new loans and ‘ompanies are only awaiting a favorable moment to en- ter into competition with the savings of the public. Americans have certainly been stronger during the past week on the strength of easier money in Wall street and the en- couraging cmP reports. 'The outlook for Nerthern Pacifics is much better than it ‘was, but the extension of the coal strike in the United States is worrying a good | many operators. Canadian Pacifics were strong last week and touched 139 on fur- | ther New York purchases. | BERLIN, May 25.—The Boerse remained stagnant during the past week and was without new or striking feature. German state securities were weak and required intervention buying to maintain quotations. The Saxon loan of 50,000,000 marks at 3 per cent will be subscribed May 28 at 90.60 and will be handled by a large group of banks in Berlin and Dres- den. Industrials generally weakened. The money market shows a somewhat | firmer tendency, and the private rate of discount reached 2% per cent. | FAST RELAY RACE WON BY CALIFORNIA CLUB New Century Road Club Riders De- feated on San Leandro Tri- angle Course.

UNION, S. C., May 25.—Six persons were killed and several were injured by a tornado that swept this section of the State this afternoon. Dead: Miss Sallie Hart of Union, Miss Annfe Lawson of Union. Mrs. Maxey Sims of Union. Vera Sims. Miss Lawson, killed at Jonesville. One person, unknown, at Pacolet. Injured: Maxey Sims, broken fingers; Lee Sims, f{aternally injured; Willlam Mabrey, fractured shoulder and bruised; Mrs. Mabrey, bruised; two children of Mrs. Mabrey, slightly injured. Two storms, one from the north and an- other from the southwest, met near here with terrific force. The storm was pre- ceded by a heavy rain. One wing of the tornado passed along Main street and blew in several store fronts, doing much damage to stocks. Knitting Mill' Hill, south of the town, felt the full force of the tornado, which blew down the school house and two resi- dences, converting them literally into kindling wood. The occupants ran from one of the houses just before it went to pieces and took refuge in another near by, but this house was also crushed to splinters. In this house Sallie Hart and Annie Lawson were instantly killed, Mrs. Maxey Sims died in an hour and her little daughter, Vera, died soon afterward. Maxey Sims escaped with broken fingers. Lee Sims received several cuts on the head from falling timbers and was in- ternally injured. Mr. Mabrey sustained a fractured shoulder and his legs were badly burned by a stove falling on him. Mrs. Lee Sims received a bad but not fatal cut on the head. Mrs. Mabrey’'s two children escaped with slight injuries. It took some time to get the. victims from the debris. Every physician in town was called :and they were assisted by the cit- izens in relieving the sufferers as much as_possible. Jonesville reports that the storm wrought much damage there and that a Miss Lawson was killed. Pacolet also reports one killed and sev- eral injured. # The property damage in Union is $50,000. ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE FOR PAUNCEFOTE FUNERAL Body Will Be Temporarily Deposited in Receiving Vault at Rock Creek Cemetery. WASHINGTON, May 2.—With the ex- ception of a few details, the arrangements of the funeral services over the remains of Lord Pauncefote, the British Embas- sador, are now complete. Lady Pauncefote to-day signified her approval of the arrangements tentatively made vesterday by which services are to be held Wednesday at noon in St. John's Episcopal Church, after which the body is to be temporarily deposited in a re- ceiving vault at Rock Creek Cemetery. A military escort will be provided by the ‘War Department to attend the funmeral, which will be of a state character. A large number of messages of condolence from all over the world were received at the embasey to-day but they were not made public. LONDON, May 26.—The deep impor- tance attached here to the friendshin of the United States could not be better ex- cmplified than by the unusuaily sincere expressions, published in the London press, of regret at the deatn of Lord Pauncefote, the British Embassador at Washington, and in the high eulogiums of bis career in the United States. The papers this morning vie with one an- otker in paying tribute to the inestimable value of Lord Pauncefote’s work to the empire in the’ difficult position which, the Daily Chronicle reminds its readers, is now the most exacting in the diplo- matic service and quite different from the time when Lord Stratford de Red- cliffe described the Washington legation as ‘very pleasant socially, but not re quiring any great talents politically." The Chronicle says: He will be remembered as the first and best Embassador that this or any otler country ever accredited to the great republic. The Standard savs: Perhaps the most eloguent form praise of Lord Pauncefote can take is to observe that he left relations between Great Britain and the United States so smooth that ft may ap- pear ungracious to rovive memories of“the time when they were troubled.

MOB STRINGS UP | REVOLVER ENDS WHITE MURDERER Batters Down the Iron Doors of a County Prison. Father and Brother of Mur- derer’s Victim Conduct Execution. PARIS, Mo., May 25.—Abe Witherup, a white man, the, murderer of William Grow, was taken from the Paris jail at 2 o’clock this morning, marched to the bridge on the north edge of the town and henged by a mob of more than 100 men, who rode quietly into town at mid- night. The mob went at once to the jail, but was held back for more than an hour by Sheriff James W. Clark and Deputies Martin Clark and Polk Masterson, who stood before the entrance to the jail stock- ade with drawn revolvers and threatened to shoot the first man who attempted to force an entrance. The mob remained in front of the jail for nearly two hours, parleying with :he officers, and finally marching away. The officers remained on guard, but believed that the mob had disbanded. About 2 o’clock several men approached and en- gaged the Sheriff and his deputies in con- Versation. ‘Then, suddenly, before Lhe officers could defend themselves, they were seized, disarmed and carried away. The mob then quickly reappeared, sur- rounded the jail again and with sledge hammers battered down the big iron doors. This was the work of but a few minutes. James H. Whitecotton, State Representative, rushed into the Jail as soon as the doors gave way and made a stirring appeal to the avengers to desist and allow the law to take its course. The leaders wavered for a minute and became quiet and probably would have sparcd the prisoner’s life but for the frenzied cries for vengeance set up by those in the rear. ‘Whitecotton was swept aside and In a few minutes Witherup was secured. The murderer made no resistance and in reply to questions confessed his gullt. The father and brother of the victim were in the mob and assisted in escorting the murderer to the bridge a quarter of a mile away. At the bridge Witherup’s feet were tied by the brother of the murdered man and the senfor Grow adjusted the rope about his neck and pushed him off the structure. Witherup’s neck was broken by the fail Its werk done, the mob left the body hanging and dispersed quickly and quiet- ly. Coroner Johnson cut down the body this morning. ‘Witherup, at the bridge, made a full confession. He said the killing, which took place about four weeks ago, was the result of a quarrel over a piece of land that the two men were farming together. Witherup attacked Grow one night as he lay in bed, splitting his head open with a hatchet. He then hauled, the body to the Salt River and dumped ‘it in. Witherup Was 55 years old_and Grow only 21 KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 25.—Jesse Johnson, a negro, who murdered M. D. McCray, postmaster at Rensalief, Ralls County, Mo., on April 28, and who was taken to the Paris jail on May 2 to pre- vent his being lynched, was brought here | to-night for safety. Johnson was placed in the jail at New London, Mo., after the murder.

FAMILY QUARREL Jealous Husband Com- mits Suicide After Killing Wife. Woman Is Holding Her Babe in Her Arms When She Is Shot Down. Special Dispatch to The Call. OGDEN, Utah, May 25.—Ren Faulkner, an ex-Southern Pacific Ralilroad man, shot and killed his wife and then com- mitted suicide this afterncon on the Rio Grande Railroad tracks in the nerth end of the Ogden yards. Jealousy was the cause of the double crime. Faulkner was a fireman on the South- ern Pacific up to a couple of years ago, when he lost his position through gam- bling and the consequent garnishment of his pay check. Since that time there had been an estrangement between Faulkner and his wife. Recently she be- gan arrangements to sue for a divoree. Faulkner heard of her intended action, and made the remark that if his wife did ot come back to live with him she would never live with any other man, but no attention was paid to the threat. To-day as Mrs. Faulkner was crossing the track to call on a neighbor, wheeling their ten-month-old baby in a carriage, she was met by Faulkner. They had a short conversation, but of what import is not known. The first intimation of trouble_ was when Faulkner struck his wife. She grabbed the baby out of the carriage, and as she did so Faulkner pulled a revolver and commenced shoot- ing. The first shot went wild, but the second struck Mrs. Faulkner in the up- per part of her right arm and shattered the bone. The third shot entered her hip and ranged downward, while a fourth bullet entered near the small of the back, and, ranging upward, passed through her heart. He then turned the revolver upon himself and fired a bullet into his right temgle. dying almost instantly. The face of the baby was powder burned, but oth- erwise the -child was not injured.
