JOAUUI.N MILMm'S PVIIB.
Poet of tin * SIcrniM to DC Crrmnteil
on HIM Onn Kooky .IrrcN.
Joaquln Miller , the poet of the Sierras , haa
done many things to mark him as a man o (
rare eccentricity , and as a last crowning nt
of his strange career he has perfecte i all the
arrangements for his own funeral and the
Incineration of his mortal remains when hla
soul shall have escaped to the great beyond.
His last rites will be as strange his life.
If his wishes are carried out , relatrs the San
Francisco Chronicle , his remains will be
burned upon a funeral pyre of his own build
ing.
ing.Far
Far up on the top of a sterile eminence In
the hills back of Frultvale the quaint i an
B of letters has bulldcd his bier. It Ib a solid
. mass of masonry , covering a space ton by
ten feet and standing eight feet high. It Is
. composed of 620 hugh granite boulders , set
i In solid cement and laid with skilled hande
In a manner calculated to endure for Jen-
. turles. The queer structure Is approached
. by three immense steps laid across the en
tire west frontage and of sufficient height to
_ permit bearers to place a body on the tor
- of the heap.
| The big masonry pile has been designed
_ with great care. The upper surface Is hol
lowed out to a depth of two feet , In the
shape of a coffin. When the end of all things
_ comes this space will be filled with wood
t and the body of the poet will be placed OB
top ot It all. The structure hna been bull )
so that a good draft will fan the blaze intc
0
. flames when the torch Is applied and make
' the cremation of the body a doubly assured
( fact. The ashes of the poet will mingle w.tt
the ashes of the fagots , to bo scattered tc
' the thirty-two points ot the compass by the
winds that play about "Tho Heights. "
* This Is the end of the poet of the Sierras ,
as he has designed It himself. The quainf
funeral pyre will be unmarked with any in
scription to tell the story of the strange end
" of this strange man. Six feet to the uortl
of the masonry tomb lies n great browr
* boulder weighing probably two tons. Th (
euifaco has been smoothed off and upon It !
face in large white letters has been care-
v fully prltitfcd this inscription. "To the Un
known. " This la the only epitaph that will
grace the sacred spot.
If the eccentric writer has any definite
knowledge as to who will carry his body uj
1 the tortuous pathway from his queer rcsl'
ilence to the top of the eminence when
stands the tomb , who will arrange the faggots <
gets and who will apply the torch , he doet
not say much about It. He dismisses tbi
matter very briefly when questioned on thi
subject.
"It Is my idea of the way to bo dlsposei
of , " ho says. "I shall be cremated hero litho
the surroundings I love when life Is over
I want no burial. I ovn thc.se hundred
acres , and why should I be buried out o
them ? There , on that eminence , I nhal
abide forever and shall make no pretene
at keeping my name and stoy where it cai
l always be seen. In fact , nothing will b
written there but the words 'To the Un <
.j known. ' It Is all my own idea. I flrml ;
. believe In cremation. "
j. 1 The aged mother of the poet , who llvci
1 alone on the sldo of another hill , and th
i eeveral Immediate neighbors of the man o
letters regard the rude funeral pyre as ai
object of rnre curiosity. At the same tlm
they look upon , it as a piece ot foolishness
The neighbors say that Miller talked ot th
project for many months before he starlet
to carry out the Idea. Upon his return fron
' " | the Klondike he engaged the assistance o
" j some workmen and the bouldera utilized li
the construction of the tomb were collectei
' I from the surrounding hillsides and move <
on low carts with the aid of horses. Man ;
weeks were employed In the work , which 1
now finally completed. Joaquln Miller re
cards the masonry pile as his greatest am
final triumph.

At the fall mooting ot the Board of Trus
tees of Cornell university held last Saturday i
President Schurman presented his sixth an
nual report. It contains nn unusually In
teresting budget of Information. Under the
head of "Tho Year In General" President
Schurman eajs of 1897-98 : "It Is within
safe bounds to say that the year has been
the most prosperous and healthful and In
very many wavs the most memorable In the
history of the university. Not only has
the attendance been larger than over before ,
but , owing to the great advance made In
standards of admission
recent > cars in the
sion to nearly aU courses , a striking Im
provement has been wrought , and Is now
markedly visible In the scholarship of this
augmented body of students. And whllo the
Intellectual life of the university runs so
high the year has witnessed a hitherto un
paralleled expansion of Its material re
sources. Apart from the completion of the
great hydraulic laboratory and dam at Trip
hammer Fails , the enlargement of Sago
finished nnd the
chapel , now practically ,
addition to Morse hall , which Is already
egun , all of which have been charges on
ho existing resources of the university
reasury , the records of the vear are 11-
UBtrated by three splendid benefactions.
The mansion of the late chairman of the
oard was conveyed by his eons , Dean Sago
nd Wlltam. H. Sage , to the university as
memorial to their father , to bo used as
n InfUmarv. And they not only fitted It
p and equipped it for that purpose , but
or Its perpetual maintenance they presented
vlth It an endowment of $100,000. The state
f Now York , following the precedent ot
ho legislation establishing nt Cornell the
tate Veterinary college , established this
year the New York state college of For
estry , which , like the veterinary college ,
vlll bo maintained by the state and ad
ministered by Cornell university. The
aboratory of this college will be a demon-
tratlon area of 30,000 acres of forest in the
Adlrondacks , which the state purchases. But
he most splendid gift of the year Is duo
o the generosity of a new benefactor , whoso
munificence has enabled the Board of Trus-
ccs , without expending ono cent of their
ncomo , to establish a great department
which has long been needed to round out
he educational work of the university , a
epartment of medicine. And It Is the
mbitlon of this generous benefactor to
make the Cornell university medical col-
ege , which has Just been organized , second
o none In the world. It Is at once a high
icnor and a signal mark ot public confidence
hat Cornell university should have been
elected , both by the state and by private
ndlvlduals. as the object of such splendid
icnefacttons and the orgn of such noble
purposes. It Is a new lllusti itlon of the dlb-

President Schurman states that the total
number of persons receiving Instruction al
the university in 1807-98 was 2,131. Ex-
cluslvo of those attending the sunrmei
schools ( COS ) and those attending the w Intel
school in agriculture (93) ( ) , there were reg
ularly enrolled 1,835 students. This Is th (
argcst attendance ever registered , exceed
ing that even of 1893-94 , which was tht
ast year of low entrance requirements foi
ihe great majority or undergraduates ant
of free tuition for all graduates. Consider
ing the enormous advance , exponslvo an < '
extensive , which has been made in the en
trance requirements annually since 1894
these figures are striking and certainly verj
encouraging evidence of the hold which th (
university has obtained upon the country.
In speaking ot the students Presldeni
Schurman makes the Interesting statement
that the ago of freshmen at entrance haf
been falling continuously for three years
although the standard of requirements foi
admission was at the same time continu
ously rising. The "median age" of Cornel
freshmen was 19 years and 11 months It
1895-96 , 19 years and 8 months in 1890-9'
and 19 > ears and 7 months in 1897-98. Ap >

President Schurman relates the part
played by Cornell men In the war. After
detailing the mass meetings and other signs
of Interest In the student body before -war
was declared , he says :
"Then followed the heal and burden of
actual hostilities. How largo a share Cor-
ncllians played In the war cannot at once
be known In Its entirety. Certain It Is that
students and alumni of this university
served In the United States navy , In tin
staff , In the line , In the engineer corps arid
In the naval inllltta ; that they held commis
sions as officers of regulars In the United
States army , in which recent alumni had
been Boning for some years and Inwhich
they fell at Santiago ; that they fought and
some , alas ! fell at Quasimas with the Rough
Riders , and before Santiago In the Seventy-
first Now York volunteers , where Clifton
Beckwlth Brown of Cleveland , O. , a mem
ber of the class of 1900 , was killed by | i
Spanish bullet upon the hill of San Juan ;
that they were among the first to land upon
thq soil of 'Porto ' Rico and raise the Amer
ican flag over the first cliy caplured ; and
that al Manila , In the far Philippines , Cor-
nelllans shired In Dowey's naval victory , and
again Corndllans , in the Utah battery ,
helped to bear the brunt of the savage
night attack of the Spaniards when land
fighting there ftogan and , In the Astor bat
tery , the orunt of the last land fighting of
the war , when Manila Itself was taken.
Not only did every New York regiment
take to the front Its quota of Cornelllans ,
but this record shoivs they demonstrated
once more the broadly national character
of the constituency and services of this uni
versity by enlisting with the troops of many
I a state , even as far away as distant Utah.
Nor were they more confined in the kind ot
i service rendered , for they went to the front
1 as officers and as privates , as surgeons and
as chaplains , as cavalrymen , as artlllerracn
. as Infartrjmcn and as engineers. In every
' scene ot the drama of war , by flood nnd
I field , In cost and wcsl , from first to last ,
they ha\o done heroic service and when their
full roll and record can foe made out It may
fitly hang In the place ( if honor on the
1 walls of the American history se'nlnary
| room , in the university lib 'ary , an ImpreiiB-
; ivo reminder that Cornell men not only
help to write but that tiny help to make
American history. "

'Tor Cornell university , situated as it is
L in a small city , the Ideal of a medical colt -

offered in the Academic department at

especially true , that 'the question ot med
ical education Is , In a very large nnd broail
scute , a question ot finance. '
"Such is the ideal of a medical depart
ment for Cornell university , considered from
the point of view of the curriculum. To
complete the Ideal It Is only necessary to
add that the department bo a real part of
the university , under the same government
and control as other departments , nnd like
them wholly Independent ( for salaries , etc )
of receipts from tuition.
"Thanks to the generosity and wisdom of
Colonel Oliver H. l'a > no this ideal is nn
actuality. All the advantages of Cornell
university , rural and urban , will bo com
bined for the fortunate student of the science
of medicine. The great hospitals of Now
York City , with which an unusually large
proportion of the faculty are connected In
the capacity ot surgeons or phjslclans , maki
It Imperative that the last two jears of tht
course should be taken by all students of
the college In that city , where the oppor
tunities of clinical instruction are literally
unsurpassed. The faculty of the Cornell
University .Medical college Is entitled to
utilize for teaching purposes the clinical
material of the Bellevue , City , Maternity ,
Gouverneurs , Harlem , Almshouse , Work
house , Incurables , Randall's Island and
Fordham hospitals , besides many other hos
pitals and dispensaries in the city upon
whoso visiting staffs the medical faculty Is
I represented. On the other hand in the
great scientific laboratories already existing
on the university campus at Ithaca arc" op
portunities of Instruction in the sciences
underlying the profession of mediclno and
embraced in the first two years of the
curriculum , which are not surpassed In this
country , it indeed they are anywhere
equalled.
A site for tlio permanent homo of the
Medical college has been purchased at a cost
of $150,000. It comprises the entire First
avenue front of the block lying between
Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth streets ,
a space of 100x200 feet. "Tho cost of the
new building will undoubtedly , " says Presi
dent Schurman , "be three or four times the
cost of the site. "
Other topics discussed are the Sage Col
lege far Women and the Library , which
"now posscses 211,278 volumes ami 35,000
pamphlets , of which 13,816 volumes and 1-
600 pumphlets were added" during 1897-98.
The reconstruction of Sage chapel , by which
Its seating capacity has been doubled , Is de
scribed at length , as Is also the memorial
apse , 31x16 feet , which has been added to
the Sage chapel to be a resting place for
the remains of Henry W. Sage and his wife
and as a memorial to Mr. Sage. There Is
also full description of the Cornell Infirmary ,
plven to the university by Dean Sage and
William H. Sage , with an endowment of
$100,000 , and of its organization and admin
istration. There still remains a description
of a great Chemical building in process of
erection alongside and supplementary to
Morse hall , which Itself was only ten years
ago the most complete chemical laboratory
In existence. There Is also a section on
halls ot residence , dining halls , club houses ,
etc. , a whole system of these halls continu
ing to be the object dearest to the heart of
the present president of Cornell university.
President Schurman calls especial attention
to the fact that the Board of Trustees on

this large portion of Cornell's capital not
more than 6 per cent can be expected whe ,
In a few years It falls due and has to bo

rightly calls for more gifts , and points out
that "every benefactor of Cornell university
has felt that his Investment here was it

llcston's echcol board rules out all
schemes to collect money from the pupils of
the jiubltc schools. The Boston Saturday
Gazette comments on the rule a follows :
"Collecting money In our public schools is
wrong , slncj , nmrng other evils , it brings
unnecessary humiliation on children whoso
parents are lee poor to contribute their hard-
earned money , and the school committee is
light In opposing It. whether the object bo
the raising of a statue to Lafayette or rala-
ing money for Mayor Qulncy's rauslc hall
concert. In the matter of children and
pennies It Is sweeter to give than to take. "
