IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE THE HORROR QF-IT
ALL, HE SAYS.
NEW YORK, April 24.—E. H. Harrlman, president of the Uplpn. and
Southern Pacific railroad companies, w)io left for San Francisco soon, after
the earthquake, sent the following telegram ffpm Oakland:
"Oakland Pier.—Have Just returned from San Francisco. Impossible
to describe the destruction, and all parts of the city, affected are.,total
loss. About fifty thousand have moved to outlying districts, and these,
as well as the whole of the remaining Inhabitants ,of San Francisco, .will
have to bo fed and cared tor for some! time. There are no markets or
stocks of any kind, so that even with an abundance of money the .bare
necessities of life could not be purchased. People are living In all.sorts
of temporary habitations, but In a few days it Is expected that they .will
he supplied with sufficient tents, as w,ell as blankets.
"The cooking of the Inhabitants, whether those remaining In their
houses or not, has to be done In the streetB, as no fires are allowed In
any of the houses. I am living on the car at the end of Oakland Mole,
next to Mr. Calvin, vice-president of the Southern Pacific. Mr. Herrin, a
Southern Pacific official, Is with General Funston at his headquarters, and
the whole Btaff is at work on something to help In the care of the peo
ple. It was fortunate that a government post was located here, and es
pecially so that It la In charge of General Funston. The rich and poor
have to bo cared for alike. It is wonderful how courageous : and hopeful
they all are. It la the kind of spirit upon which can be depended the
successful future und return of upbuilding and prosperity.”

Greatest Fire.
The Wall Street Journal, one of the
most reliable financial journals In the
country, contains the following Inter-
fating facts and figures In Its Issue of
April 21:
The property losses In San Francis
co are placed by conservative fire un
derwriters nt ^200,000,000, the largest
In the country's history. The esti
mated assessed value of real and per:
somil property In the city Juno 1,1905,
was about 2524,250,000 on a valuation
of 70 per cent
In the state of California 108 fire
companies and underwriting agencies
guaranteed by companies are licensed
to do buBlnoss, and tlielr total out
standing Insuranco upon property
within the limits of Snn Francisco la
approximately 2238,880,000. Although
the companies aro not liable thrqugh
damngo by oarthquako, It will be a
difficult mnttor to separnto earthquake
and fire losses, and consequently poli
cies will have to be paid In full.
The estimated risks of tho Califor

A Joint Oebate on 8tock Psed.
A group at a livery stable, were dis
cussing the relative merits of mixed
ground feed, and straight cob corn
foi; stock. Pro and con the discussion
waged. Statements emphatic, go em
phatic that they were tinged with
brimstone, tore the air. Non-combat
ants prepared for the worst, ■ backing
out of the flro zone. Finally the corn
advocate spoke:
"Why do you know what —
said? He uBed to feed the stuff by the
carload, but he won’t use it now. You
know how a mule blows and snorts
when he la feeling good. Well, —
said when -he put that steam-cooked

of American gingers who,go to»EuroRe

"To most singers who havesougbt

It looks fine .to put 'de l'opera’ .qr *de

there Is another side to It. Many a

Ane of the most prominent debutantes
at the opera saw 5,000 francs paid over
for: her debut, .and me woman who
was there two years as a regular mem-
her. of the troupe carped 6,000 f(auca ja

often get debutantes at IjOO francs

“Anltl Robin Gray,"
A, ballad Hint won Instant fame
against the expectation aud even the
wish of Its author was "Anhl Iiubln
Gray,” wrltteu by Lady Anne Lindsay
about the end of the eighteenth century
merely for her owu satisfaction to re
place the coarse verses of nil old melo
dy that pleased her. She saug charm
ingly, and the new bnlhid soon came
Into favor. Great was the curiosity
arquped ns to the author of this pa
thetic song, la whose simple verses all
elements of u heartrending tragedy
ore.contained, but Lady Anne, modest
And retiring by nature, preserved sl-
lcnce fpr many years, smiling, no
)jnpht,,st the controversy that raged so
hotly. In the course of .lt her ballad

He Woe In Such n Hurry.
A man who has resided In Cairo told
this tale as an Illustration of the dil
atory ways of Arabian tradeB people:
'‘A certain gentleman ordered a
swing to be erected In his garden for
the use of his little boy, aged six. He
waited and waited, but the Biylng nev
er,arrived. In due course of time that
boy grew np to mail's estate and be
came himself the father of a little boy.
When his son was six years old be
remembered how his own father bad
ordered a awing to be made for him.
So he called on the tradesman, who
lived at bis gate, and asked him to
send up the swing that bad been order
ed twenty yeurs before. Tile man
agreed to do so. The little boy be
coming Impatient after three weeks,
his father called again and remon
strated with the Arabian us to bis dll-
otorlncss, Tbe Indignant tradesman
replied that lie coutd.ii.ot really under
take to serve any one who was In
tuph a fearful hurry."
How to Use Dratna.
A head man In a manufactory was
watching a drayman tugging nt a
heavy case one day. The drayman's
faqe was red, and the muscles of his
nepk were bulging. Tbe overseer, sayB
a writer In the Baltimore'Sun, thought
It was the right moment to offer prac
tical assistance.
VWalt a mluute there,” he said. “Let
me show you bow easy It Is when you
use a little brain with your muscle.”
And he grabbed a hoqk, stuck It Into
the case, gave a yank and went sprawl
ing Into tbe gutter under tbe dray. He
got up, looked at tbe book and said.
"Confound It, the handle comes offl”
“Yes, sir," said the drayman respect
fully. "My brain told me that, and I
didn’t use It”
A Looter Circumstance.
In the bouse of commons no Incident
Is greeted with more hearty laughter
than that of a member who, after an
eloquent oration, plumps down ,ou his
silk hat on the bench behind him. A
young member who had Jast made bis
maiden speech sat upon bis new silk
hat. There were roars of laughter.
An Irish member Immediately arose
and gravely said. "Mr. Speaker, per
uilt me to congratulate the honorable
gentleman upon tbe bappy clrcurn
stance tout' when be sat on bis bat bis
head was not In It!” This remark up
set tbe dignity of the house, and the
speaker called “Orfler. order," amid
roars of laughter. 1
Safe For a. Short Distance.
A young man who Is blessed with a
Scotch kinsman need never fear that
he will be allowad to hold too high an
opinion of himself.
"What do you think of my projeet to

bis great-uncle, Robert Donaldson, a
person wbou be was desirous to pro
