as he was told no more men were needed in the stricken city From this place he went to the office of the Mayor and again his request was promptly refused, notwith- standing his great desire to know the fate of his relatives. MT. Martin, who in the meantime had been joined by a newspaper man. asked leave to go as a laborer with pick and shovel.
 This request also met with a refusal, and the Mayor stated that there was absolute ly no chance for him to reach Galveston. MT. Martin then began to wander about the city, having lost all hopes of reaching Galveston. While walking down to the bayou he and the newspaper man spied a tug boat and barge being loaded with supplies for the sufferers. Several persons were passing along a gang plank present. ing passes before they were allowed to step on deck.
 MT. Martin went to the man in charge of the boat and asked permission to go along either as workman or as passenger. Again his plea was of no avail, and he having determined to go on that boat, hid himself in the tall weeds along the banks of the stream. When no one was looking he caught the hawser which was tied to the shore and slowly pulling himself hand overland finally managed to reach the barge unobserved.
 Taking a seat among some lime barrels he remained there until the tug was out from Houston. He then came out and mingled with the other passengers, mak- ing the rest of the journey without inter- ruption.
 It took about eleven hours to make the trip and the tug arrived in Galveston bay about o'clock in the morning.
 The moon was shining brightly, and MT. Martin says he can never forget the scene which greeted his eyes. The once beautiful city of Galveston, which usually loomed up in the distance was no more. Where great piles of debris All the passengers were in the prov of the boat discussing the weird sight, when a mans body was seen float ing on the water The little boat passed over 1t and It was seen no more.
 The tug soon anchored where the wharf prehension, MT. Martin landed and proceed ed to the home of Dr. Trueheart, corner of Seventeenth and K streets. By this time 1t was daylight and the outlines of the house could be seen through the broken branches of fallen trees. In the middle of the street was a large frame dwelling house, and the Trueheart home could not be reached by the front entrance He finally climbed over the side fence, which had been partially

A graphic story of awful destruction heartrending scenes, and noble acts of self-sacrifice. is told by Hugh Martin, an architect of Birmingham, who has re- turned from the storm-strcken city of Gal weston, accompanied by Miss Titille True heart his wife's sister.
 As soon as the first news of the great catastrophe reached this city MT. Martin, whose wifes family live in Galveston, boarded the first train going in that direc- tion and finally succeeded in reaching the afflicted city. There he found Dr. c. w. Trueheart, his father-in-law, and his en- tire family unharmed
 MT Martin says that in reaching the stricken city he passed through an experi- ence which will leave a vivid and lasting impression upon his memory. He had no difficulty until his arrival in Houston, but there so many obstacles began to pile up that he had almost given up all hope of even starting to Galveston. when he man. aged to get on a tug boat loaded with SUD- plies for the sufferers
 MT. Martin says when he arrived in Houston he at once went to the office of the railroad which runs from Houston to GalVeston and asked permission to leave on train which would start within two hours His request was promptly refused,

And Children Are Expected to be
 Present at 9 O'clock.
GREAT ATTENDANCE SURE
Teachers Will be Extremely Busy in Chasing Pupils Superintendent Phillips Will Visit All Schools.
 Assignment of Teachers

All the children of the Birmingham public schools are expected to be present at their respective schools by g o'clock this morning.
 This authoritative statement was made by Dr. Phillips to the Age-Herald last night; and if parents will see that children are prompt it will prevent much confus- ion. The outlook for the scholastic year is the most promising in the history Of the schools; for the public fully appreciate the schools, and the schools are more thor oughly and scientifically organized for the children than ever before.
 Dr. Phillips has allowed himself virtual ly no vacation this year; he has remained at his duties perfecting all the plans for the coming sessions. The result of the su- perintendent's efforts will be apparent within a week.
 It is believed that the attendance at the opening of the schools today will be much larger than on any other opening day since the schools were established.
 Dr. Phillips will be at the High School during the earlier hours of the morning; but he hopes to visit all the schools in the city during the day.
 The teachers will be extremely hard worked, as much of the real chasing of the pupils will be gone through with. It

TRAINED NURSE.
Remarks About Nourishine Food.

"A physicians wife, Mrs. pr. Landon, gave me a packet of Grape-Nuts about a year ago, with the remark that she was sure I would find the food very beneficial, both for my own use and for my patients. I was particularly attracted to the food, as at that time the weather was very hot and I apprecia ted the fact that the Grape-Nuts required no cooking.
 "The food was deliciously crisp and most inviting to the appetite. After making use of it twice day for three or four weeks, I discovered that it was a most wonderful in yigorator used to suffer greatly from ex- haustion, heada ches and depression of spir- it's My work had been very trying at times and indigestion had set in.
 "Now I am always well and ready for any amount of work, have an abundance of active energy and cheerfuness and mental poise. I have proved to my entire satisfaction that this change has been brought about by Grape-Nuts food.
 ''The fact that 1t is predigested is a very desirable feature. I have had many re- markable results fin feeding GrapeNuts to my patients. and I cannot speak too highly of the food. My friends constantly com ment on the change in my appearance. I have gained nine pounds since beginning the use of this food Eleanor Miller. Trained Medical and Surgical Nurse. 515 Jeff.

blown down, and walked into the house Not one of the Trueheart family had been injured, and the property loss was nothing compared with that of the neighbors. Three blocks from this street section of dwell l lngs twelve blocks square had been com pletely wiped out of existence.
 During the day MT. Martin walked | through the city, and he says the sights were indeseribable. As far as he could see there was nothing but huge piles of l wreckage. rendering the streets almost im- passable.
 At many of the houses parties were at work recovering the dead bodies of their friends and relatives. Few families escaped without some loss of life.
 Away in the distance large cloud of smoke could be seen rising from the beach where the dead bodies were being burned. Two or three dry goods and grocery stores were opened in attempt to supply | food and clothing to the few who were so fortunate as to have money. Others who | did not have money were supplied on or- ders from the relief society, which is do- l ing a great work.
 MT. Martin set about looking for some 1 of his old friends with whom he had asso- ciated while he was an inhabitant of the unfortunate city. W. E. Daley, one of his
 :, most intimate friends. was found dead in 1 the wreckage of a fallen cafe. His fists | were tightly clinched if he was trying | to ward off blow. The room of MT. Da- 1 ley was found undisturbed and on the | writing desk was an unfinished letter to | his wife who was visiting in distant city. MT. Martin says he heard of hundreds of ! equally as sad cases.
 At the Fremont Hotel a copy of the Gal weston News printed on plain Manila paper 1 was found. In the lobby of the hotel men | were issuing blank sheets of paper with | instructions to everyone to write his name | thereon and the number of members of his | family who were lost and the amount of property lost. One poor fellow wrote on his sheet:
 'Every other member of my family are dead and all my property is gone" There were many such instances as this Mir. Martin says the greatest of all things he saw were the many deeds of charity
 and the general magnanimous feeling which prevailed. Every one who had

 Either money or articles that can be sold or used in any way are acceptable to the local officers, who will have a special auc- tion at which all the salable material will be disposed of whether for the table or the home-groceries clothing, furniture, or anything else that can be exchanged for money.
