STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 18.-
In view of the epidemic of typhoid fever
which visited Stanford University and
Palo Alto last spring, it has been deemed
advisable by the university authorities to
enforce the proper sanitary conditions
wherever students or others connected
with the institution are temporarily re-
Fiding. In accordance with this precau
tionary measure, it has been decreed that
all boarding-houses or other places where
students are living, must be sufficiently
disinfected and arranged to satisfy a
close sanitary Inspection by Dr. TV. F.
Snow, the university health officer. This
rule affects not only the boarding-houses
on the campus, but also those of Palo
Alto, Mayfleld, College Terrace and Hen
lo Park, the neighboring towns. Follow
ing the inspection a certificate will be
Issued to the boarding-house keepers, and
students Wfio occupy rooms in uncertified
houses will not be allowed to enter the
university. This step was taken by the
advice of the health authorities of Santa
Clara County.

"Let the Guggenheims name a price for
all their Interests In Mexico and if I find
that it is reasonable, after they are ex
amined by my men, I will buy them. I
am buying mines, .not selling.'.* .. >
Alvarado had nearly 100O burros carry-
Ing bullion from his mine. to the railroad.
How much hay been: taken out of It no
one knows — possibly not L even 'Pedro Al
varado. At the works of the Palmillo
mine he has a steel cage In which are
bars of gold and silver to the estimated
value of J60,000,000. .
Alvarado recently offered to pay the
public debt of ; Mexico * as - a donation to
the Government. His offer was rejected
by Minister of s Finance Umantour. He
lived ln v a palace, which he receutly com
pleted near Parral, and when he visited
the town he was always accompanied by
an armed bodyguard of .twenty-flve men.
"John Hays Hammond is the greatest
expert In the world." said the agent, "and
he can tell all' about it."
"I know all about' it," said' Alvarado.
"I go through It every day." - .
"But this is a- great company. We
want to make, you an off er " on the . mine
if you will permit our expert to examine
it."
"I don't want to sell the property and,
furthermore, no experts are permitted to
enter my mine. I have anne'd guards
there' to keep* them out."
Finding it impossible . to get an expert
into the mine to' examine 'It' the agent of.
the company asked Alvarado to set ' a
price for his mine and .the company would
pay him cash down. To this proposition
Alvarado replied:
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 18.— A private dis
patch was received here to-day from Chi
huahua, Mexico, stating that Pedro Al
varado, the multi-millionaire mining man
of Parral. that State, died there yester
day. He was sick bur a short time. He
Is survived by a wife and several chil
dren, who, It Is supposed will inherit his
fortune, estimated at seventy millions of
dollars. All of this vast fortune was
made within the past six yoars out of
the Palmillo mine.
The phenomenal richness of the Pal
millo mine has attracted the attention
off the entire mining- world. This mine
was discovered about four years ago by
Alvarado, then a Mexican peon, employed
as a workman in a mine at 50 cents a
day.
The American Smelting and Refining
Company, through its Mexican branch,
the Guggenheim Exploration Company,
recently made an unsuccessful effort to
open negotiations with Alvarado to pur
chase his mine. The agent of the great
mining corporation approached Alvarado
with a proposition that . Its mining ex
pert, John Hays Hammond, btj permitted
to inspect the mine.
"Why should he Inspect it?" said Al
varado.

Our corre«i>ondentB have informed us that
the Judge sustained us on all points. We were
Informed about the provision the court makes
for having the Union Iron Works complete its
contracts. Smith is receiver and is given full
charge of the properties, with the provision
only that the Union Iron Works shall be per
mitted to use them without any hindrance to
complete Ehlps. This was for the purpose of
preventing a cancellation of contracts by the
Government. The receiver owns the properties.
The Union Iron Works will be permitted under
the decision to use the tools necessary for the
completion of the work on the ships. This is
all the limitation placed upon the receiver's
absolute possession.
WASHINGTON. Auk. 18.— Acting; Sec
retary Darling has received a telegram
from the counsel of the United States
Shipbuilding Company, of which the
Crescent Shipbuilding Company is a part,
stating that the company hopes event
ually to be able to resume work on the
cruiser Chattanooga and the torpedo
boats Nicholson and O'Brien. The Acting
secretary has replied that the department
will be interested to know whenever the
company finds Itself in readiness to re
sume this work. The contracts for all
three ships have been canceled and a
board of officers ordered to appraise the
work done. It Is believed that the vessels
will be completed at Government yards.
NEW TORK. Aug. 18.— James Smith
Jr., receiver for the United States Ship
building Company, is considering the ad
visability of issuing receivers' certificates
in order to obtain funds "for keeping the

"Poor Biir'-r-and then the two veterans
fell to talking over old times until an
other of their number Joined them and
began plying a similar line of questions.
And thus were the old soldiers reunited
yesterday. It was a busy day for Grand
Army men around the different headquar^
ters. From one to another they plodded,
scanning registers and strange faces and
making anxious inquiries for those they
had not seen for over a quarter of a cen
tury. Time tells severely on the ranks
of the veterans and many an inquiry yes
terday developed the fact that the reaper
had preceded the searcher and relegated
"He's dead. Buried two years ago."
''Know. Brown of Company TJ?"
"Big Bill Brown, who was shot on the
way out?, Should say I did."
"I'm his brother."
"You don't tell me. Pleased to meet
you. How's Bill?"
Among the more notable of the evening
receptions was that held by the members
of the Department of Missouri, Woman's
Relief Corps, in their rooms at the Pal
are. Of those who Joined in welcoming
the g-uests were the following named:
Mrs. Frances Van Slyke, president; Mrs.
Sarah V. Sllnger, secretary; Mrs. Lucinda
Scott, counselor; Mrs. Birdseye, past
president; Mrs. Steismere, past president;
Mrs. Annie Miller and Mrs. Sopha Evers.
As a Fouvenir of the occasion each guest
of the evening received a miniature of
the fltg adopted by St. Louis for Its com
ir.g world's exposition.
In the headquarters of the Ladies of
the G. A. It. there are to be found a
number of candidates for the position of
national president of that organization,
which is now presided over by Mrs. M.
Annie Hall of New Tork. She has been
mentioned as a possible successor to her
self, owing to the fact that her present
term has been a short one, she having
succeeded Mrs. Hurst at the time of the
death of the last named. "
Among the other candidates for the po
sition are Mrs. RIggs of Ohio, Mrs. Mary
T. Hager of Illinois, Mrs. Man" Stock of
Missouri, Mrs. Ruth Foote of Colorado,
Mrs. Sue Staine of Washington State, and
Mrs. Bailey of this city. Mrs. Rlgga is
j-upppsed to be the strongest candidate to
date The election for national officers of
the Ladies of the Grand Army will take
place to-morrow afternoon at the eame
time as the members of the Woman's Re
lief Corps are choosing new officers.
Aside from the contest for the presi
dency of the organization the members
of the corps have not yet evidenced a
great interest in the question of national
officers for the coming year, for which
they will ballot to-morrow afternoon.
They have been too busy with other mat
ters" Yesterday the preliminary arrange
ments for the convention were under
taken and credentials were issued to del
egates and then the attention of the offi
cers was turned to social functions, which
was really the programmed detail of the
Mrs Sara D. Winans of Toledo,
a member of' the Andersonvilla Board and
one of the candidates for the position of
national president of the corps.
The hea« quarters of the two depart
ments adjoin each other on the first floor
cf the Palace Hotel, and for the occasion
lust evening the doors between the two
suites were thrown open in order that
both departments could share the enjoy
ment of the evening. The reception was
informal, Mre. Winans being escorted to
the rooms by a deputation of ladies from
the two States, which are vigorously advo
cating her candidacy. Mrs. Winans was
accorded an enthusiastic ovation and spent
nearly two hours meeting the various
numbers of the corps of different States,
There are three candidates for the posi
tion of national president of the Woman's
Relief Corps, Mrs. Winans' opponents
being Mrs. Carrie R. Sparklin of St.
Louis and Mrs. Fannie Minot of New
Hampshire.
The friends of Mrs. Winans. however,
claim they have her contest already won.
and it was hinted at the reception last
evening that the function was more in
recognition of her assured elevation to
the honored position than a pre-election
boom.
7 HE members of the Ohio and
Illinois departments of the Wom
an's Relief Corps united last
evening la giving a reception to
Brilliant Scenes at
Women's Head'
quarters.
At a few of the headauarters. mainly
those of California, some pretense to en
tertain the visitors was made in the way
of disbursing liquid refreshments or dis
tributing fruit, the latter being accepted
as a grand treat by the majority of the
veterans from other States.
At the headauarters of the "Woman's
Relief Corps and tnose of the Ladies of
the G. A. R. the scenes were In noticeable
contrast to those within the rooms of the
gray haired soldier. Among the women
there was more of the hospitality that
is natural to the feminine sex and more
of the flutter that usually marks a gath
ering of this sort. While they, like the
veterans, had their official duties to per
form they accomplished their work
promptly and when through turned their
attention to their guests and made the
afternoon one long "at home" to every
body.
Their rooms were thronged with visi
tors, and particularly was this the case
at the national headauarters of the W.
R. C. where hundreds called to pay their
respects to the much beloved president,
and frequently the visitor left a kind re
membrance In the shape of a bouquet— a
womanly token of gentleness. The floral
contributions and the festooned bunting.
with which the rooms are lavishly dec
orated, and the happy faces of beautiful
women who mingled there made the scene
at the headcuarters a most attractive
WOMEN ENTERTAIN.
The San Francisco public, exclusive of
the army element, was also part of the
human whirl around the veterans' head
quarters and experienced with the old
soldiers Its share of pleasant surprises
and serious disappointments In the search
for those who had not been seen for
many years. About the veterans the civil
ians would cather to overhear the ex
citing discussions of hard fought battles
and stories of the trials of the soldier
during the dark days of the Rebellion.
History was retold and retold as If the
events that made It were but the oc
currence of the previous day and some
times In so vivid a manner that the lis
tener could almost imagine that he could
smell the smoke as it passed off the field
of battle.
AH the headquarters kept open house
yesterday, hut with no particular pur
poses other than to afford an opportunity
for an exchange of information. BUI
Bane of Maine called on Texas to learn
something of hi3 old friend Abe Waters
and Smith of Oregon dropped Into the
Georgia cxuarters to find out if his rela
tive from the South was among the con
tingent of that far away State. As a
rule if the friends failed to meet some
satisfactory information was gleaned of
one or the other, and the visit netted
something in the way of gratification to
the curious caller. In every headquarters
there was a constant Jam until late in
the afternoon, when the gnawing vttals
of the tired veteran reminded him that
it was time to attend to the wants of. he

AN ARTISTIC
..LjUHIIM
In Welcome to the Grand Old
Men of '6l-'65. ' •
The G. A. R. display in the window
of the Wiley B. Allen Co.. the well
known piano dealers. 931-933 Market
street, has proved one of the strongest
attractions^, on Market street for • the
past few daya.
There is always a large and enthu-
siastic crowd ' of visitors and residents
standing before this window, admiring
the singular beauty and heroic signifi-
cance of the display.
In the center stands a hero of '61
shaking hands with a hero of the Span-
ish-American war. Just behind them
is the typical figure of Columbia be-
stowing upon them both her blessings.
In each corner of the window stands a
soldier with gun in hand, ready for in-
stant service.
The display -Is well arranged - and
evinces the skill of the designer to ap-
preciate artistic values and at once ap-
peals to the patriotic sentiments ot the
American heart.
The Wiley B. Allen Co. deserve praise
for furnishing so appropriate a display
