places of worship. The congregation OF
the First Baptist church. which was to-
tally destroyed. have been offered the
use of the Jewish synagogue until their
church is rebuilt. This offer was accept.
ed and the members of other BAPTIST
churches in the city will also worsbp at
this place.
The memberships of the st. Johns and
st. James Methodist churches are using
the Central Christian church. The
probability is that these two churches
VIII consolidate and build one large
church in tho near future.
The religious people of the city are
possessed of the same spirit or indom-
dtable perseverance and determination
that is so evident among the business
men, and while church property suffered
greatly by the storm it will doubtless b..
speedily replaced.
Inc large number of men who we're
paid of here last night gave the streets
the appearance OF the Market square in
Houston on a Saturday afternoon. Moth
ing like this has ever been witnessed in
Galveston before for years. and it was
gratifying to see the busy merchants
making good a small portion OF their
losses.
Some of those who come here from the
interior seem to be under the impress
sion that exorbitant prices will be
charged for necessities here. This is
not the case; on the contrary, May of
the merchants have quantities OF very
slightly damaged stuff that is being sold
exceedingly cheap. There is still a great
demand for skilled labor and mechanics
at prices that would make il profitable
FOR this class to come here.
The men who come here not to work
themselves, but to work others are
meeting with warm reception at tne
hands Of the police department
The work of relief which is now under
the direction of the Red Cross society
Is becoming so systematized that prac-
tlcally all imposition will be stopped by
the middle of the week
thorough investigation is now made
of the condition of every applicant for
relief and upon the result of this de-
ponds the amount of relief furnished.
The relief stations Of two wards are to
be closed next Tuesday. as the neces-
sity for them seems no longer TO exist
Systematic relief work. however, will be-
continued in these wards in the nature
of a personal canvass for the deserving
needy.
The question of providing homes for tue
homeless who are now living in build
ings that are scarcely habitable Is the
next question that demands the attention
of the relief workers, and it's solution
will be somewhat difficult II is mat
ter of Generalization that wise and eX-
perienced men are in charge OF affairs
and will doubtless make the best ar
engagements possible under the circum-
stances.
All medical relief stations west of
Twentysixth street we're closed at u
o'clock today. The demands on ,hese
places have decreased TO such an extent
that 1t was thought needless to continue
them longer, Two stations are still open
in the city, one of which is looated at
the custom house and the other over
Lienbach's drug store
The excursion to Houston this morning
carried 500 passengers who were eager TO
( get out and away from the scenes in
their city if only for few hours. No
excursion rates were given from Hous
ton here though a number came down
TO see the ruins and some of them hoo
ing perhaps. that some trace of lost reia-
tives and effects might be found. In nv
majority of the latter cases their tasE5
are HOPELESS, An instance is known OF
one man residing here who searched foi
ten days to find only piece of his n)1ie.

One Of the most remarkable feature o;
the recent disaster is the small number
of orphans that have been left. The Rec
Cross society has, through the police de-
partment. made a thorough cans1ss OF
| the citv. offering TO take charge Of Vt'
phans and children whose parents are
unable to provide for them. This ai'G'

for children to save themselves after
