In Earnest.
The day after the storm but magni
fies the nihrvel of the light tribute in
human wiie claimed by yesterday’s
terrific convulsion of nature's forces.
Investigation makes apparent the
fact that the tornado was strongest
just before it struck the city. On the
Thair place,, less than a half mile be-
ond the southwestern corporate
line, the demolition of buildings in
the track of the storm was absolute,
Trees were torn and twisted Into
splintered fragments; the timbers of
houses were ripped into shreds and
scattered for hundreds of yards in
tile direction taken by the wind, while
even grass and weeds were not Im
mune from the voracious sweep o' the
holocaust.

cottages. Much' expensive machinery,
Including the entire battery of ovens,
Is ruined, and will either have to be
discarded or repaired at great ex

(if $50,000, and will more probably
prove more than less than that
amount.
Mr. W. E. Gannaway estimates his
less at $2,000. This damage includes
the. loss of a store 1 , two stories in
height, on the corner of Residence
and Madison streets, and at his at

do having somewhat spent itself.

City to Render Aid.
Mayor Rawson called a 1 special
meeting of the city council this morn
ing for the purpose of considering the
question of relief to those in distress.
It was decided that the 'city gov
ernment would promptly respond to
all reasonable demands of those who
are unable to provide themselves with
food, shelter and clothing. Im order
to Investigate all case3 of distress
and see that means are promptly af-
'orded for the relief of the sufferers,
the following committee was appoint
ed:
Aldermen H. A. Tarver and P. H.
Jones, Chief T. E. James, Deputy
Marshal J. W- Kemp and Mr. H. T.
McIntosh. . ,
All cases of distress reported to
unroofed, and 'the apartments flooded.
The cottage on Residence street be
longing to Miss Dollle Mayo and oc
cupied by the family of Mr. Pempel,
was lifted from Itfi high foundations
and set down a few feet distant. The
plastering was badly damaged, "'win
dows were smashed and some timbers
.broken.
Contractor F. B. Leonard sustained
serious loss in the wrecking of the
partially constructed cold storage
plant of,the Albany Artesian Ice Co.,
on Washington street, and Brinson
& Co.’s coal and wood yard was dam
aged slightly. (
In addition tp this list, there are
hundreds of cases of minor damage
to dwellings, not to mention the de
struction of the household effects of
scores of negro- families, either from
breakage or the heavy vain.
Nothing Is more deplorable than
(he destruction of hundreds of beauti
ful shade trees—oaks and cedars that
have been growing for decades, and
on which no monetary value can be
placed.
On the Thair place, the destroyed
buildings and contents, belonging to
C. W. Livingston, were worth in the
neighborhood of $1,500.
Alfred Anderson’s house and con
tents were worth $500.
Four houses, one of them brick,
either wholly or partially demolished,
belonging to Max Lonsberg, valued at
more than $1,000.

of music lovers at the local opera
house last night. *
"Robin Hood" has been presented
on the American stage for a number
of years, first be'ug presented by the
famous Bostonians, a number of whom,
for the first time In Albany, were seen
and heard at last night’s 1 performance.
Miss Vtvla Brewster, the prima
donna, had the hearts of the audience
at her disposal from the time that she
sang her first note until the curtain
descended on the last act and obscur
ed from vision the lovely scene, amid
a roar of applause. She Is dainty and
graceful, and her every word and note
struck responsive chord In the hearts
of her hearers. Her rendition of. “The
Forest Song” was notably pleasing.
Miss Ethel Houston as "Alan-a-
Dale”' might be classed as "a star
that outshines the noonday sUn,” to
quote from the, opera Itself. Her song
hit was, "O Promise Me,” and she de
served fully the repeated and the
hearty, heartfelt encores;
Mr. Harold Blake, the creator of
the part of "Robin Hood.” could hard

infancy to portray It. His enunciation,
when singing and talking, rang clear
as a bell and his voice Is what "dreams
