Lieut. James lackland was also an ancestor or Mrs. McU'an, as was also Deputy Governor llurgess, of colonial Muryland history. Mrs. Mclean was educated at what was at tho time known as tho Woman's College. She was graduated at the uge of fourteen, receiving a diploma which Is one of her proud possessions to-day. She continued her studies In history, music and the languages until her mar riage, .n 1883, to Donald McLean, a man of a long line or revolutionary ancestors like herself and a brilliant lawyer In New York city.

ALMOST COMPLETE DESTRUC TION OF THE I'ICTLHESQIE CALIFORNIA COLLEGE. Built In Spanish Architecture and Cont of Buildings Alone was Thirty Million Dollars-Will Probably be Kc built. One of tho moflo serious results of the Pacific roast earthquake disaster is the destruction of Stanford Univer sity, near Palo Alto. More than $30, noo.ltfiO had bi:en expended on the buildings alone, and the damage has been co severe thot It will mean prnc tlcolly an entire loss. This group of builiiliiKH was planned and built on a prearranged scheme and has boon ac count. -d the finest group or structures fur educational purposes on this con tinent, If not in the entire world. The buildings were all In the picturesque Spanish mission stylo, with the arch as t1 1 principal architectural feature. This fact, which was so much a source of beauty, lias probably been tho largest source of destruction, because-, while the arch undisturbed Is one of the most secure of building forms, when thrown out of plumb It must fall. IKKLPAKAIU.i: AItT LOSS. The main buildings aro built around an Inner quadrangle, which contains the oitlces of administration and some class rooms. These buildings are ail one story In height. The outer quad rangle, which comprises the principal architectural features of the univer sity, bus ob main points of Interest I the memorial arch, with Its wonderful ' frieze, by St. Oaudens, representing ' the progress or civilization In America, and directly opposite this, through ths inner quadrangle, the Stanford Memo rial Church, with Its mosaic Tront de picting the "Sermon on the Mount." This building cost. In construction alone, l,O00.0"0. exclusive or the mo saics and carvings inside and out, and its marble statues and art treasure from Kurope. Perhaps it may bo said that the lot's of tho buildings and equipment, in spite of their great value, is the least par t of the disaster, because since the university was started on Senator Stanford's Palo Alto ranch It has been a marvelous incentive toward higher linatlon on the Pacific coast. No: only has It gone ahead with great strides on Its own account, but it has tarried the State University at Ilerke- ley along with It In healthy rivalry, until the two gave an equipment for higher education In California that was not rivaled by that of any other State, MKS. STANFORD'S GENEROSITY. If it were not for the indomitable spirit which seems to have enabled the university to triumph over many diffi culties It might be said that its career hus been particularly Ill-starred. Foi In spite of Its great endowment, said to exceed that of any other Institution of learning in the country, It has been unfortunate from the beginning. Vex atious litigation arose at the time of Senator Stanford 8 death. In 1SU1, and the claims put forward by those who had received personal bequests, to have them settled first, seriously impaired the finances of the university because it was impossible to realize upon its property. After that the Pacific rail road suits tied up the university money for a couple of years, until tho Su promo Court decided in favor of the Stanford estate. Hut Mrs. Stanford with wonderful courage and singleness of purpose, unselfishly turned all of her property over to the university, saw it through its crises until her recent tragic death In Honolulu, when the Lola ml StanTord University was again thrown In despair. Its present de struction by the earthquake seems to come ns a culminating disaster, yet It is probable that it will rise again su perior to the conditions which seem In league against It, though it has practically been set back to an abso lutely new beginning. It is already understood that plans nave been considered for tho rebuild' lng of tho university, as the statement has been made by President David Starr Jordan to the students of the university, asking them to remain and aid In bringing order out of the chaos resulting from the earthquake. Pres ident Jordan has been mentioned to succeed the late Professor Langley as Secretary to the Smithsonian Institute In Washington, but those who are in a position to know state that It Is be lieved that he will remain at the helm of the Stanford University and Bee that the magnificent buildings are erected again.

But it has Its seamy side and carries both advantages and disadvan tages in its train. There is the danger of fossilization: of becoming a leaf in the sere; with energies gone and aspiration dead. This danger is great and seems almost inevitable to him who has many years of service in the departments. Though all will not agree with tho Hon. Champ Clark in a recent article in the Satur day Evening Post when he 6ays "Over the doorways of the Departments should be inscribed in letters so large that he who runs may read: "All Hope Abandon Ye Who Enter Here." Y'et to the young man and woman who would keep the fires of their am bition burning, government service should bo entered only as a stepping stone to a more strenuous life or higher and better things.

W L REYNOLDS, Manaficr, . 63 Washington FIRE YERSUS DYNAMITE. TONS OF TI1R EXPLOSIVE USED AT SAN FRANCISCO TO FIGHT FLAMES. Three Men of Navy at Risk of Their Lives Place Compound In Teeth of Oncoming t Ire-V hole Blocks Razed to Prevent Disaster. Through the destructive agency of dynamite the section of San Francisco still standing was saved at a cost of more than a million dollars. This pow erful compound was scientifically wielded by three men of the U. S. Navy, sent by Admiral McCalla from Mare Island with orders to check the confla gration at any cost of life or property With them they brought a ton and a half of gun cotton, the terrific power of which was equal to the maniacal de termination of the fire. Capt. MacBride was in command of the squad. Chief Gunner Adamson placed the charges, and the third gun ner set them off. The thunderous detonations to which the terrified city listened all that dread ful Friday night meant the salvation of many lives. A million dollars' worth of property, noble residences and worthless shacks alike, were blown to drifiing dust, but that destruction broke the spirit of the fire and sent the raging flames cringing back over their own charred path.

Van Ness avenue Is fiat as the earth on the east side. Every pound of gun cotton did Its work, and, though the ruins burned, It was but feebly. From Golden Gate avenue on the north the fire crossed the wide street in but one place the Claus Spreckels' residence, on the corner of California street. There the flames were writhing up the walls before the dynamiters could reach it; yet they made their way to the foundations, carrying their explo sives despite the furnace-like heat. The ' charge had to be placed so swiftly and the fuse lit In such a hurry that the explosion was not quite successful from the trained viewpoint of the gunners. But though the walls still stood. It was only an empty victory for the fire, as bare brick and smoking ruins are poor food for flames. EFFECTIVE WOHK OP WEEK. Capt. MacBride's dynamiting equad realized that a stand was hopeless, ex cept on Van Ness avenue. They could have forced their explosives further la the burning section, but not a pound of the terrible guncotton could be or was wasted. The ruined block that met the wide thoroughfare formed a trench through the clustered structures that the conflagration, wild as it was, could not leap. Engines pumping brine through Fort Madison from the bay completed the little work that the gun cotton hal left, but for three days the haggard-eyed firemen guarded the flick ering ruins. The desolate waste straight through. the heart of the city is a mute witness to the most heroic and effective work of the whole calamity. Three men did this three, simply, because they would not trust their work to others and when their work was over and what stood of the city for the first time rested quietly, they departed as mod estly as they had come. They were or dered to save San Francisco; they obeyed orders, and Capt. MacBride and his two gunners made history on that dreadful night. Elephants Going Up, "A five-foot elephant costs tills spring," an importer of animals Is stated to have remarked, "11,400, es against $1,200, for which such ele phants could be bought two years ago. "Elephants. like all other wild ani mals, are growing scarcer with tho settlement of the globe, and their prices tend upward. More email ele phants than big ones are Imported be cause they cost less to begin with and because they are easier and safer to transport, and showmen like them, too, for the reason that young ele phants are more tractable and easier to train. And small elephants are at tractive anyway. "Then, the elephant is a hardy ani mal in captivity and he is naturally long lived, and the young elephant In creases in value with his growth. So that even with their prices tending upward, young elephants are good property, though even they are rather large for family pets."
