"Old Heidelberg."
Everyone who has been to the Columbia
Theater this week is talking "Old Heidel
berg." It Is not likely that anyone who is
interested in a good play when It does
come to Portland, will miss seeing this
production after all that has been said
and written of It- It Is not only one or
the most beautiful scenic productions ever
given, but the Btory of the play Is one of
the dearest, sweetest stories ever told.
Nothing could be more fascinating than
to see a handsome young Prince leave his
royal castle and for a time become a free,
happy Heidelberg student, and grow to
love a pretty, simple maid. It Is sweet to
know the love, and yet the sadness is
always there, to know the absolute hope
lessness of it all: for a Royal Prince
cannot marry whom his heart chooses, but
must follow the dictates of state.
To know, to feel the force and charm
of the story, one must see too piay.
See Howard Gould through the many
strangely contrasted scenes as Prince,
student and lover.
See Cathrine Countiss, the merry mala.
"Kathle," wno in her guileless, innocent
way learned to love this student and to
fonret for the time he was a might'
Prince, only at last to realize It and watch
him ko away from her forever.
To see "Old Heidelberg" tnis week at
the Columbia Is a pleasure that will not
soon be forgotten.

60 hours. With lines from the shore the
vessel has been hauled well In to shore.
The tug Ranger met the Oregon off the
bar at S o'clock this morning and piloted
her in. Since the flre was first discov
ered off Crescent City, Cal., night before
last, the pumps have been steadily at
work. o trouble has been experienced
with the engines. The vessel shows a
heavy list to port, but the hull and upper
works are Intact.
Up to dark the efforts of the officers and
crew of the Oregon to quench tho flames
have been unsuccessful. The method
adopted of attempting to fill tho vessel
with water was Inadequate to the situa
tion. It has been determined that tho
vessel cannot be flooded by means of her
own pumps, andhe men are now engaged
In boring holes through the steel plates
through which hose will be inserted. A
tug or other engines will then be secured
and the space between decks, which the
water now being pumped In does not
reach, will be flooded.
Since the pumping began this morning
the Oregon righted considerably and was
moved still further up on the beach. The
bow of tho vessel is now even with the
shore line at low water. The steel plates
are becoming hotter, and the smoke Is
still rolling out from her after skylight.
How Stanford University Was Founded
Small Boy's Fondness for Collecting Curios Gave Rick Father
Mother Idea of Erecting Institution of Learning.
TO a small boy's fondness for collecting
curios may be traced the founding
of Leland Stanford, Jr., University. The
motive of Senator and Mrs. Stanford In
endowing an Institution of learning was
to erect a memorial to their son, Loland
Stanford, Junior, who was born In Sacra
mento, May 14, 1S59, and who died In Italy
at the age of 16. The boy was a frail,
delicate child, studious and with a fond
ness for collecting strange relics and
curios. In his 11th year he made the be
ginnings of a European collection, which
is now installed in the university museum
at Palo Alto. One of his earliest am
bitions was to found a museum, and the
wealth of his parents Indulged him In his
eager desire to obtain trophies of war,
suits of armor and other valuable relics.
When the boy died suddenly in Italy,
Senator Stanford made the famous re
mark: "The children of California shall
be my children." on receiving the news
of his bereavement.
That Senator and Mrs. Stanford re
ceived from the boy the Idea ot founding
an institution of learning is shown by the
following extract from thp deed of foun
dation: "Since the Idea of establishing an in
stitution of this kind for the benefit of
mankind came directly and largely from
our son and only child, Leland, and In
the belief that If he had been spared to
advise as to the disposition of our estate
he would have advised the devotion of a
large portion thereof to this purpose, we
will that for all time to come the insti
tution hereby founded shall bear his name
and be known as the Leland Stanford,
Jr., University."
Seven years after the death of the boy;
189L the university was founded. It was
not done with haste and only after con
sultatlon with the eminent educators of
the United States. One ot the legends
that students love to tell, recites that at
one time Senator and Mrs. Stanford were
considering adding several millions oc
their wealth to the endowment of an
Eastern university. The story goes that
the Senator and his wife, both plainly
dressed as was their wont, called upon
the president of the university.
"We are thinking of endowing a chair
In your university." they said. "How
much money will It cost?"
"Oh, people in your circumstances
couldn't possibly think ot doing that,"
was tho answer. "It costs over JIOO.OQO."
"Well, Jane," remarked Senator Stan
ford, "If that's all it costs, let's establish
a university of our own."
At any rate Daniel Colt Gllman. of
Johns Hopkins University, was consulted
and he advised founding the new univers
ity on the Pacific Coast. Andrew D.
White, of Cornell, confirmed this Judg
ment at a subsequent conference
at which a definite decision was reached.
From that time on there was no step
backwards. A charter for the university
was procured from the State Legislature
of California, and a deed of gift executed
dedicating part of the stock farm at Palo
Alto for the campus of the university.
Tavid Starr Jordan, then president of In
diana University, was appointed presi
dent, and commissioned to select his fac
ulty. Building was started under the
personal direction of Senator Stanford,
the corner-stone was laid May 14, 1SS7, and
the doors of the university thrown open
to students in August 1S9L
For two years the university affairs and
finances were administered by Senator
Stanford himself. To the man. accustomed
to handling mercantile, mining and rail
road enterprises on a largo scale, the work
connected with the administration of the
university was a delightful pastime. He

cial interest in the technical and scientific
departments of the university. His Idea
was not only to provide a curriculum
where the student could be trained in
general culture and the classics, but to
train the hand as well, and the depart
ments of manual training, the shops, the
departments of ' engineering and applied
sciences were his especial hobby. Two
years after the founding of the university
he died, leaving a valuaole estate with
a university and a stock farm as ad
Juncts that ate up revenues very rapidly.
His wife took up the burden. Born In
,1S29, Jane Lathrop was the daughter of
Dyer Lathrop, a merchant of Albany, N
Y. At the age of 21 she married Leland
Stanford, then a lawyer, and left with
him for Wisconsin. When a fire de
stroyed his valuable law library at Port
Washington, Wis., In 1S52. his steps were
turned westward to the mining camps of
California. His wife accompanied him.
Senator Stanford made a fortune In mer
cantile and mining enterprises, became
California's war Governor, and finally
president of the Central Pacific Railroad
and United States Senator. His wife was
an able helpmeet, but at the time of his
death had displayed few of the traits that
marked her after life as a successful
business woman.
Mrs. Stanford has herself said that until
her son was born, she lived what she con
sidered a selfish life, that she was ab
sorbed in her own name and never
thought that there were those less fortu
nate to whom she might be a means ot
help. One day a young woman came to
her soliciting aid for a poor children's
school, and Mrs. Slanford was so pleased
with the idea that she no only gave her
the desired funds but went to the school
.that afternoon. She took gifts for the
children, and was so delighted at the
pleasure which it was within her power
to give that she Immediately determined
upon a career of charity. She began
by founding kindergartens. She endowed
those of San Francisco with $100,00, the
Interest from which supports six schools.
She was also active In the charity or
ganizations, of "Washington, D. C In
various parts of the country there are
eight institutions for the education ot
young girls which owe their existence to
Mrs. Stanford.
Following tho death of Senator Stanford
In 1S93. the university went through the
crisis of its history. Plans for enlarge
ment had Just been perfected. The salary
roll had been doubled. Then the United
States Government brought suit against
the estate for J15.O0O.O00, on the ground
that Senator Stanford, as a stockholder,
was liable for ,the debt of the Central
Pacific to the Government. Four years
of strain followed. Mrs. Stanford faced
alone the Government litigation, the pro
longed panic, the threatened collapse of
properties, the importunities of heirs, the
numbing sense of utter lack of needed
moneys. She was allowed by the court
510,000 a month for personal expenses. She
lived on $000 a month, and soent $3700 on
J salaries of professors. She sold $1,000,000
bonds of her own. the gift of Senator
Stanford on their 25th wedding anniver
sary. On March 2, 1S9G. the Supreme
Court decided that the Individual stock
holders were not liable for the debt of
the Central Pacific, and the days of finan
cial stress came to an end. But in that
time Mrs. Stanford had demonstrated her
great financial ability. Leaks in the es
tate had been stopped up; unproductive
property sold: even Senator Stanford's ex
pensive toy. the stockfarm, put on a pro
ductive basis, so that after 12 years ot her
management she leaves to the university

TWO CARGO SHIPS

INTERESTING TALES RELATED
Former Sights Derelict Off Columbia
Which' Is Feared to Be Barken-
tlne T. P. Emigh, Overdue
From San Francisco.
Two arrivals of foreign cargo sailing
ships in one day, after a long period
of dullness, was enough to wake up
the water front yesterday. The new
comers were the British ships Lonsdale
and Pythomene, the former from
Shields via Fort Los Angeles, the lat
ter from Antwerp.
The. most Important incident of the
Pythomene's long voyage occurred Just
before her arrival at the mouth of the
Columbia. Last Saturday morning about
4:33 o clock. Captain Splney reports
that the lookout sighted a derelict Im
mediately ahead. The weather was very
thick at the time and a light north wind
was blowing. The sailor called out to
the mate, the wheel was thrown over
and a collision was averted, the ship
passing the hulk by a very narrow
margin. The derelict had tho appear
ance in the dim light ot being a dis
mantled vessel about 150 feet long. The
bow and stern were sticking up. the
back evidently being broken. There
was no light or any sign of life on the
craft.
Mariners hero are puzzled as to the
identity of tho derelict, and there Is
some fear that It may be the barken-
tlne T. P. Emlgh. No other coasting
vessel is known to be missing or over
due. The Emlgh is out SO days today
from San Francisco and schooners that
left the Bay City after her have long
slcne arrived in port. The barkentine is
under charter to Charles Nelson to load
at the Portland lumber mills, for Shang
hai.
Until she reached the vicinity of the
Columbia River, the voyage, of the Py
thomene was uneventful. She sailed
from Antwerp September 30 and had
exceptionally fine weather on the way.
Cape Horn was rounded under the most
favorable conditions with all the roy
als on. Stormy weather was encoun
tered off the river and the ship beat
about for a week outside before she got
a bar pilot.
On reaching the narbor the eblp was
moored at Fuller's Jock, or as close to
It as tho mud in front of the wharf
would permit. She brings general cargo
for Taylor. Young & Co. consisting ot
CO cases of mineral water. 1347 bars

Lonsdale Is British Ship.
The Lonsdale is a British ship with
a Yankee skipper. Captain F. X. Fall,
th master of the vessel, was left at
Port Los Angeles and she was brought
up by Captain S. Young, formerly of the
barkentine Echo. Altnough an Amen
can citizen. Captain Young possessed i
British certificate, which came in very
handy when he was offered tne place

on her visit here two years ago.
The Lonsdale left Shields July 1 and
180 days later arrived at the California
port. In the meantime she had rescued
the crew of a burning vessel on (jape
Horn and put In to Valparaiso, where
she landed them, as was related In the
dlsnatches at the time. The ill-fated
craft was the Elvlon. a British bark
While rounding the Cape her cargo
caught flre and in response to distress
signals the Lonsdale approached her.
A hlKh aea was running, but Mate
O'Conner and four sailors volunteered
to ko to the rescue. A small boat was
launched and -after great dlffculty. Cap
tain Thomas and 19 seamen of the El
vlon were taken off. It was none too
soon, for they had hardly reached the
Lonsdale before the burning ship sank
out of sight.
The rescued sailors proved a bad lot.
for they soon stirred up a mutiny and
It was necessary to put some of tnem
in irons before Valparaiso was reached
where they were put ashore. Tho ship
then proceeded on her way to Port Los
Angeles, where a portion of her cargo
was discharged, after which soe came
to Portland. She Is consigned to Glrvin

FOR WOMEN
Much That Every Woman Desires to
Know About Sanative, Antiseptic
Cleansing and the Care of tho
Skin, Scalp, Hair, and Hands.
WHAT CUTICURA
DOES FOR WOMEN
Too much stress cannot be placed
on the great value of Cuticnra Soap,
Ointment, and Fills in the antisep
tic cleansing of the mucous sur
faces, and of the blood and circulating
fluids, thus affording pure, sweet, and
economical local and constitutional
treatment for weakening ulcerations,
inflammations, itchings, irritations,
relaxations, displacements, pains, and
irregularities peculiar to females.
Hence the Cuticnra remedies have a
wonderful influence in restoring
health, strength, and beauty to weary
women, who have been prematurely
aged and invalided by these distress
ing ailments, as well as such sympa
thetic afflictions as anaemia, chlorosis,
hysteria, and nervousness.
Women from the very first have
fully appreciated the purity and sweet
ness, the power to afford immediate
relief, the certainty of speedy and
permanent cure, the absolute safety
and great economy which have made
Cuticnra the standard humour rem
edy of the civilized world

Newport News, Va., July 22, 1903.
Last summer while recovering from ill
ness of fever, I had a severe attack oJ
Inflammatory Rheumatism in the knee
from which I was unable to leave my
room for several months. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
lands of linaments and medicines which
6eemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at the same time I was not
any nearer getting well. One day while
reading a paper I saw an advertisement
of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided
to give it a trial, which I did at once.
After I had taken three bottles I felt a
great deal better, and I still continued
to take it regularly until I was entirely
cured. I now feel better than for years,
and I cheerfully recommend S. S. S. to
any one suffering from Rheumatism.

Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or
some other acid poison in the blood,
which when deposited in the muscles
and joints, produce the sharp, cutting
pains and the stiffness and soreness pe
culiar to this disease. S. S. S. goes di
rectly into the circulation, all irrita
ting substances are neutralized and
filtered out of the system, the blood is
made pure and the general health is
built up under the purifying and tonic
