M., to re- join President Roosevelt. The secretary was {11 when the President's speclal ar- rived in St. Louis Wednesday afterngon.

Plenty of Money in Sight to Enter- tain the President. The citizens’ reception committee has added a trip to the navy yard at Mare Island to the Presidential programme. After seeing the sights in Berkeley and Oakland, Thursday, May 14, the President will board the torpedo-boat destroyer Paul Jones for the dash up the bay to Vallejo. The speedy craft will leave the Oakland estuary at 4 p. m. The time al- lotted for the trip is one hour golng, one kour at the yard and one hour returning.

QUESTION OF ORATORY. It is common gossip that the champagne problem of the citizens’ banquet has been settled. The vexed question of oratory is still in abeyance. The supply of speakers is largely in excess of the demand. The managers of the dinner have resolved to allow as many toasts as possible, but the speeches, other than the address of wel- come and the response thereto by the President, will have a time limit attach- ment. The company at dinner may have the pleasure of listening to a few re- marks from Senator Perkins, Vietor H. Metcalf, Julius Kahn, D. M. Delmas, Hor- ace Platt, Fairfax Wheelan, Samuel M.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 1— Except as regards a few of the patients the typhold fever situation is decldedly improved, both on the campus and in Palo Alto.

Another fatality has occurred, being the third among the students and the fifth among the entire 150 patients. Miss Hel- en Christine Osher, 05, of Lamberton, Minn., died early this morning at the Y. M. C. A. Hospital of the Students’ Guild, after suffering for three weeks. Miss Osher entered Stanford last January, reg- istering in the German department.
