STANFORD IS DEAD.
THE CALIFORNIA SENATOR-PHI-LANTHROPIST EXPIRES.
The Fatal Event Came Unexpectedly Terminating a Remarkable and Interesting Career—Story of a Great and Good Man's Life.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 22.— United States Senator Leland Stansord died at midnight.
He passed away peacefully at his residence in Palo Alto. It had been evident for some time that Senator Stanford's demise wi question of but a short time, symptoms were apoplectic and weight was increasing alarmingly.
Six months ago the Senator sent for Dr. Curtis of San Francisco. The doetor prescribed heroic treatment but the Senator was not ready to undergo the drastic methods for the reduction of flesh and the restoration of his wanstrength. is apoplectic symptoms inoreaaed and his situation oecame such as to create serious alarm.
About six weeks ago it was found necessary to impose severely plain diet upon the Senator and since that time his sole food has consisted of fried hash meat, witji hot water as the only liquid accompaniment.
The Senator rigidly adhered to the severe requirements of his physician and it peemed for a time that its results were most beneficial and might possibly effect a permanent onre. The Senator expressed himself as much encouraged and looked forward hopefully to the time when he oould devote himself with renewed energy to public affairs and to the completion of certain educational and other benevolent enterprises that were very near to his heart.
But his strength was not sufficiently great to respond to the demands made upon it. Its fundamental weakness soon manifested itself and he passed quietly away last night. No details of scenos immediately preceeding death are now obtainable.
The Senator was in the best of spirits j^esterday. He took a drive around his stock farm and seemed as well as ever. He retired shortly after 10 o'clock and about midnight his valet going into the Senator's bedroom, discovered that he was dead.
WASHINGTON, June 31.—The ser-geant-at-arm6 of the Senate has been advised that Senator Stanford of California died at San Francisco at 1 a. m.
Leland Stanford wbb of English stock. He was born in Albany County, New York, March ft, 182*. His father was a man of wealth and prominence and had much to do with the establishment of the Brie canal.
After reading law in Albany, Stanford pecatpe a resident of Fort Washington, Wis. When the news oi tJJb gold discovery in California swept over the country he beoame very much interested, and in 1862 .pushed across the plains and settled, at Michigan Bluffs, on the American River, in Placer County. He took an interest in mining, but at the same time became a commercial speculator and found a fortune in the union of the two.
In ISfii Mr. Stanford was elected Governor of California. His administration, was marked by prudenoe, a sharp judgment of men and a disposition to look ahead in matters of development of the State. He was one of the most enthusiastic promoters of the plan to build a transcontinental road. After careful consideration of the problem and the possibilities for profitable Investment in it, a bill was drawn up and submitted to Congress. This was the basis of the great Pacific railroad and the opening wedge of an immense mass of legislation since placed upon the records of Congress. Gov. Stanford was elected president of the new corporation. He was thoroughly convinced of the nracticabillty of the idea sought to \e developed, and breaking the first earth for the road bed on Feb. 2z, 1863, saw the completion of the work on May 10, 1866.
In 1885 he was elected to tke United States Senate for a full term of six years from March 4, 1886. In memory of his only son, who died in 1884, Mr. Stanford gave to the State of California $20,000,000 for the founding at Palo Alto of a university. The cornerstone was laid May 14, 1887, and two years later the structure was so far completed as to permit the beginning of collegiate work. The Stanford University is peculiar in that its curriculum includes instructions in telegraphy, type-setting, type-writing, journalism, book-keeping, farming, civil engineering, and other practical branches of education. The death of his son, a prom*, ising youth of 16, was a source of great grief to Mr. Stanford. The obsequies of the young man were very solemn and marked by much display. An expensive mausoleum was built for the reception of the remainB and the Rev.
Dr. John P. Newman, late of New York, preached a funeral sermon for which he received 810,000. The sermon was remarkable for its effusive and extravagant praises of the deceased and was the subject of unsparing criticism wherever reported. Among other objectionable matter contained in it was the institution of a parallel between young Stanford and the Savior of the world.
The fortune possessed by Mr. Stanford has been variously estimated from 820,000,000 to 875,000,000. Probably it was in the vicinity of 850,000,000. He owned a large amount of real (estate in San Francisco and several ranches in various parts of California.
His liberal patronage of art secured for him the gallery of fine paintings which is one of. the chief features of his elegant residence in San Francisco. Stanford farm, his favorite country seat, is situated at Menlo park, in the Santa Clara valley, about forty miles from San Francisco. The mansion, which is its chief ornament, stands in center of 450 acres, which make up the the park and lawn, and is surrounded
by
thousands of trees, constituting one of the most unique oollections of the world. The owner's aim was to gather the samples of every tree which can be made to grow in the soil of California. His success in the breeding of fast horses is described elsewhere.
Senator Leland Stanford was above the
usual height, broad-chested and with a straight milifohr bearing. He was courteous, affable
handed, and one of the
