XU Death of Mrs. LeUnd Stsnford.
The dmth of Mr. LeUnd 8tu
ford, at Honolulu hut WediKwIay,
U oi of the most remarkable that
has occurred in a Ionic time. The
Charlotte Observer say of it:
'There U a niynterj alxmt the
poimmiug of Mrs. Lelaud Stan fold
that sdds to the horror of the crime,
as bad as is the killing of a do
rVncplees wotuau. It was reported
about two weeks ago that an at
tempt bad been made to poison the
widow of the late Senator, and fol
lowing the publication of the story
an authorized denial, in such ex
plicit terms as to really excite sus
picion as to it trutbfuluem, was
rut out. Then Mrs. Stanford set
sail for Honolulu, where her death
occurred Tuesday night It appears
that Mrs. Stanford bad taken with
her from Han Francisco a bottle of
bi carbouute of soda, and on taking
a de she was made violently ill
aud died before tnythiug could be
done for her. The soda, which had
appareutly never been opened, con
tained a large amount of strych
nine, which, it beema, oiust have
been placed in the bottle before
Mrs. Stanford left home. There is
do statement as to the object iu
poisouing Mrs. Stanford. Since the
dctb of her husband, Leland Stan
foid, has had entire control of
the LHa.uI qanford, Jr., Univer
jjj, h', .s endowed for nearly
twe'.V' X" of dollars in mem
.v n m. - child. Thel'niver
niU ix i: t' . .Ve ocntiol of trus
tV iiuiiK ' v Irs. Sliiuford and
mUf had ch:i:Ae of the nuances of
the illuliou, and since herd tut li
nwniy the whole of the remainder
oi the Stanford fortune will go to
the institution. It is hard, iudced,
to imagine that auy oue interested
in or connected with the Univer
sity would resort to such a crime,
and there is no apparent reason
why it should be desirous to take
the woman's life. Mrs. Stanford
was doubtless cognizant of a good
deal more than hasbeeu made pub
lic. She tied from Situ Francisco
in order to escape her enemies, af
ter mi unsuccessful attempt to kill
ber by strychnine placed iu min
eral water, but her fate was not
averted, for she carried along with
ber the deadly agency of the mur
derer, and it was not slow in get
ting iu its work. It is au interest
ing rase, and the solution will be
wstched by the country at large."
A San Francisco dmpatch to the
New York World says:
"Friends of Mrs. Stanford say
that for months she had beeua vic
tim of hallucinations and a prey to
mental worries, mostly groundless.
It has been known for some time
by intimate friends that these, hal
lucinations took the form of fears
that her life was in danger from
supposed enemies. At one time iu
rugged health she had frequent
spells of illness which in recent
weeks she invariably attributed to
poison.
"The private detectives employ
ed by Mrs. Stanford's attorneys,
siuce her remit alleged poisouing,
have maintained silence regarding
the nature of their discoveries, but
in guarded statements made by rela
tives the impression was conveyed
that nothing bad bceu found to in
dicate au attempt to poison her.
"After the investigation by the
city detectives bad failed to impli
cate any oue even remotely, the
theory was evolved that Mrs.
Stanford, finding herself unnble to
convince those about her that ber
fears of poisoniug were well found
ed, had herself placed strychuiue

"Mrs. Stanford's last report to
the trustees of Leland Stanford
University was suppressed, al
though previous reports had leen
giveu publicity. It is said that the
report was so worded as to leave
no doubt of Mrs. Stanford's mental
state. It was intimated that pub
licity of the report would be inju
rious to the university.
"Siuce the first of the year Mrs.
Stanford had been kept in semi
seel union. She had arranged for
several receptions, to take place in
her San Iraucisco mansion, but
these were vetoed by ber physi
cian.
'It is known that when Mrs.
Stanford sailed from Sau Francisco
on the steamship she was very ill,
mentally and physically. l p to
the time of her departure Mrs. Stan
ford was haunted by the fear that
her life was threatened. The geu
eral opinion here is that this state
of constant mental unrest, coupled
with her weakened condition, led
to a sudden collapse.

As the haU'hiug season is now
about on for thoxe who use bens for
incubation, a few suggestions will
not be out of place. During cold
weather rather all eggs as soon as
possible after tbey are laid, keep
them in a room where the temper
ature never gets below 50 degrees.
If aouveuieut stand all eggs to be
used for batching, on the small end
or point. This prevents the

fatal to the batching of that egg.
A cheap coutrivauce for this pur-
pone can be made of cardboard on
same principle as fillers are made
for tbe ordinary egg crates holding
thirty dozen. Place one of these
partitions In the bottom or s split
basket, box or anything couveuieut,
put an egg in each compartment

Never set a soiled egg,
for nine times out of ten it will not
hatch. During February aud March
thirteen eggs is euough to put un

follow, aud your flock diminishes.
What the little chicks do need st
once is clean fresh water given
them iu a shallow pan with a board
or rock over tbe pan to preveut
them wetting their feet And they
also need a few teeth, to help digest
whatever is fed tbem later; this is
supplied by scattering pure sand
on tbe coop floor, and you will be
surprised to see bow tbey will de

At the expiration of the thirty
six hours the first few feeds should
be bard boiled eggs chopped fine,
or lightbread soaketl in sweet milk,
squeezing out all surplus milk be
fore feeding. Never feed a sloppy
mess to chicks, aud never feed the
chicks on the coop floor; have a
little feeding board and on this put
all feed. Feed five times a day for
the firtit week; after that, fourtiuiea.
When chicks are a week old feed
cracked wheat or McreeuingH, rolled
oats and cracked corn mixed. Con

will follow this method.
But never during any stage of

Not Arabs at All.
In a stable of the American Home
Kxcbange five horses, alleged to be
high-bred Arabian stallions, are
having the time of their lives and,
iut-identally, in horse parlance,
Vating tbeir heads off." They ar
rived here some weeks ago from
Morocco, and at least several of
them were aupiHised to be intended
as a gift from the Sultau to Presi
dent ICoosevelL
Heralded with a blare of public
ity the stallions were brought over
by James Y . S. Langerman, form
erly vice consul to Morocco, as it
is understood, at tbe suggestion of
Homer Ihtvenport, tbe cartoonist.
Tbey are now like an elephaut on
Mr. Iaveuxrt'a hands, although
he is still doubtful if an attachment
he has levied on tbem will bold
good.
Tbey owe a board bill of i:0 to
the stable keeper aud the presideut
has declined to accept them as a
gift. Nobody wants them, aud
horse experts have estimated their
value, if put up at public auctiou,
at not more than fifty or sixty dol
lars each.
"It's al to the good for the
horses," said Mr. Davenport yes
terday; "they are having a good,
idle time and they have got us all
guesHing as to who has the right to
put the skates where they belong,
with a bullet "
"I asked Mr. Langermau," said
Mr. laveuport yestei-il.tr, "to iui-
ku1 one genuine Arabian stalliou
for me, aud two for Presideut
Itoosevelt. Instead of that he
brought these five old crocks.
They are uo more Arabians than I
am. They are just ordinary 'Barbs'
from Barbary; mongrels from the
count of Tangier. Tbe poorest sort
of horse flesh 1 ever saw.
"Well, when Langerman brought
me a check for f.'OO ou the bank
ing house of Brown Bros., before I
had looked the auimals over, I
cashed it for him. It was N. (J.

at once that it was au insult to of
