several days past, went on the ramp

THREE DAYS OF TERROR
AN INTIMATE VIEW OF SAN
FRANcIsco's DEsTITUTIoN.
Every One Reduced to Want-Money
Could Not Buy Food-Prompt
Arrival of Relief.

A gentleman In this city has received a
letter from his young sister in San Fran
cisco giving an interesting account of her
narrowing experiences during the three
awful days of fire following the earth
quake. The letter Is dated April q, and In
part is as follows:
The awful fire ragged three days and one
night We thought 1t must come our way,
but that very night it burned in another
direction, and the next day it was put out.
starvation stared us In the face for two
days. but the relief stations all over the
city (there are nine) make us feel easy. 1t
Is wonderful how quickly help came, and
the organization seemed perfect from the
first. The city was put under martial law
at once. and perfect order reigns In the
confusion. No fires or lights are allowed
in our houses. We cook our meals in the
back yard. People who have no yards cook
in the street In front of their houses Sol
dierS patrol the streets night and day
hooters are shot, few have been shot; and
with them for an example, very little loot
ing Is done.
Church Easements for Hospitals.
"All the Episcopal churches have given
their Easements to be used as hospitals Gall
that have been saved from the earthquake
and fire.. Hundreds of people who were
burned out are camped In the parks. tents
are made OF sheets blankets. quilts. any
thing to be had Eighteen babies were
born In Golden Gate Park last night. and
eight in Buena Vista Park No baby
clothes for them except what people are
contributing.
.sThe earthquake threw our stove down
and broke the hot water pipe connected
with it and our kitchen was flooded with
water but Madge dressed and ran quickly
four blocks for a plumber. Ours was the
first call. so he came at once. and stopped
the water woman came to get him while
he was working here, but there were others
ahead OF her. so she had to wait her turn.
Thursday, the day AFTER the earthquake. ct
