RIS IE, Leland Stanford Jr., in whose mem- ory the great university was founded, lived to the age: of sixteen years. He was bright, intelligent and affectionate to an unusual degree. Both of his parents idolized him. His every desire things seemed .propi- hecoming a man a credit to himself, hiz country eighties he took a trip visited the various and gathered many toes of his trip, which are to- his | preserved in the museum at the | university.. In 1884, while visiting at Florence, Italy, he was suddenly taken | sick with Roman fever. Every pos- sible effort was made to save his. life, but in vain. A markable occurrence | is related in this connection. | When Governor Stanford was watch- ing by his -child’s bedslde, wearied | with his prolonged vigils and constant | worry, he dropped asleep and dreamed that his son said to him: “Father, don’t say you have nothing to live for, vou have a great deal to live for, live | for humanity, father.” While this drcam was passing through the great man's mind Leland Stanford Jr. passed away. Both parents were prostrated by the death of their boy. Their grief was never much lighter during life, for the memory of the child was always with { them. The idea of founding the great educational institution was conceived shortly after the death of the son, but | efforts to perfect the plan were not | taken for several years. | A ; DEATH RECALLS RECENT EV T.

SACRAMENTO, March 1.—Memoriai services will be held at the Stanford- Lathrop Home for Friendless: Children in this city at.a date not yet an- nounced, to pay tribute.to the memory of Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford, ‘who died last night at Honolulu.

The story of the making of the Stan- ford millions is typical of early Califor- hia. Leland Stanford came to the State in 1852, a poor lawyer. In 1861 he was Governor of the State and president of the company that projected the first transcontinental railway. Stanford came West on the advice of his brothers, who were:conducting a store . in Sacramento: The brothers “grub-staked"” him and the future rail- way magnate went to Michigan Bluff, where he engaged in mining. He accu- mulated a little money, but tired of mining and went back to work for his brothers at Sacramento. He took an active interest in politics {and was soon recognized as a leader. He was a delegate to the National Con- vention of 1860 that nominated Presi- dent Lincoln.. In 1861 he was elected | Governor of California. Prior. to 1861 Leland Stanford was convinced of the feasibility of a trans- continental railway. He concentrated his energies an the project and in 1861 was made president of the Central Pa- cific Raflway Company. The Legislature of the State granted a charter for the line in California. This was only part of the battle. The | support of the Federal Government was needed, and it was obtained through the persistence of Stanford. Collis P. Huntington and Mark Hopkins. Though the national credit was stretched to the limit at the time, an act of Congress appropriated and gave to the company twenty miles of terri- tory along each side of the proposed railway. The nation’s credit was lent to the scheme in the form of thirty-five vear bonds, the company agreeing to pay $35,000 a mile for every mile con- structed. Z The work was done-in the face of in- numerable difficulties. Material had to be brought “around the Horn” at enormous cost. The bonds issued for the work were only recognized for a third of their face value. On May 20, 1869, Governor Stanford with his own hands drove home the last spikein the Central Pacific Rail- way and the silver hammer connected by a wire with the telegraph systems of thé country flashed to the remotest parts of the land the tidings that the East and West were united by bands of steel. Shortly after the road was completed the State gave the new company a half million dollars as a gift. Several counties contributed sums that almost aggregated a like sum. Later Stanford took an interest in shipping and became one of the larg- est shareholders In the Occidental and Oriental = steamship line. He was elected president of the company and retained that office until his death. Stanford married Jane Lathrop while he ‘was a penniless lawyer. The story is that he borrowed $50 of Charles, Mil- ler -of Port Washington, his counsin, to defray his wedding expenses. Miss Lathrop was the daughter of Dyer Lathrop of ‘Albany, New York. Mrs. Stanford came across the plains with her husband and endured with him the hardships that all pioneers’ wives endured. A shrewd woman of business herself she was often con- sulted by Governor Stanford and her advice helped. in the accumulation of the Stanford millions. Besides the rallway interests the Stanford estate includes some of the finest -vineyards- in the State, horse farms famous all over the.world, a country seat at Palo - Alto and a mansion -at- Powell and Sacramento streets. The university property at Palo Alto is valued at over $20,000,000. S BT SYMPATHY FOR MISS BERNER. The news received here late yester- day ‘to the effect that the police of Honolulu had deemed it advisable to Jplace tinder surveillance .Miss Bertha Berner and May Hunt, private seere- tary and mald, respectively, of Mrs. Stanford, provoked much ‘<comment among the friends of the deceased wo- man. “To these friends it is well known that Mrs. Stanford had no more faith- ful friend than Miss Berner, who had been her secretary for many years and is supposed to be a beneficiary under the will of the philanthropic lady. Miss ‘Berner has .a mother and sis- ter living at Palo Alto. They moved there. in order to be ‘close to their relative whenever thé latter was a vis- ifor to'Palo Alto with “Mrs. Stanford. It would be a difficult matter to find among the late Mrs. Stanford’s many friends one who would suspect that Miss Berner’s mind ever entertained a digloyal thought for her mistress, even should it be :pessible that the latter had been the victim of poison- ing, and the deepest sympathy is ex- pressed here- “for the unfortunate ‘woman who has been subjected to -surveillance at a time when she is grieting over the death of a friend who had at-all times reposed in her the greatest confidence. ] EMP‘DOYES LAID OFF ‘BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC goateat BAK'ERSFIELD.
