The most consummate knocker Tn

Ed- die Clark and his six winning wid- ows have re-awakened local interest in girl acts by giving a number that is full of vivaeity and dash. Mir Clark's tout" characterization is being widely discussed and his wid- ovs are packing the front rows with connoisseurs in feminine beauty nightly. Reichen's dogs have created more comment than any animal act ever offered at the house and the most fattering criticism comes from those who generally leave the house when a dumb brute act is about to go on.

MARTEAU CONCERT.

The advance sale of seats for the concert to be given at Poli's theater on Monday evening, April 30, by | Henri Marteau, the great Frnech vio- | linist, and other artists opened this morning at Driggs & Smiths music store and all indications point to an enthusiastic welcome for the famous virtuoso. Miss Frieda Slender, the | soprano, and Miss Emma Showers, the pianiste, are highly spoken of and the concert as a whole promises great musical treat, which will doubtless attract a large audience. In connection with plans for the con- cert, the following letter has just been sent out to considerable num- Der of families in the city by group of persons who are interested in the musical development of the commun- ity: Waterbury, April 23. 1908. We beg to call your attention to the concert to be given at Polls the ater on Monday evening. April 30, by Henri Marteau, the famous French violinist, assisted by Miss Frieda Slender, lyric soprano, Miss Emma Showers, solo pianiste, and August Goellner, accompanist. It is generally conceded that Marteau is the greatest living violinist of the younger school, being about thirty years of age and an artist of fully de- veloped power and brilliancy. The opportunity to hear him In Water bury is a rare one for 1t is doubtful i. 4 4atf x-tr visited this city.
 Miss Frieda Slender, the singer, is said to have pure soprano voice of great sweetness and cultivation, and Miss Emma Showers is endorsed as highly talented pianiste. The va- ried and interesting program pre- pared promises one of the finest mus ical events that has ever taken place in Waterbury.
 Not only for the undoubted merits of the performance. but also for the advancement of musical culture in the community. may We not urge you and your friends to attend this ex- cellent concert?

MANiAcs' TERROR.
sDe.ver Man Describes .Dprning of S Asylum Near San Jose. E

sOeMver Man Describes -1urnfnR of E S Asy1um Near SaA Jose.
 DENVER. Colo, April 25.-Nothing could be more terrible than the calam. ity at St. Agnes asylum, near San Jose. as described by R. L. Drinkwater of Denver. He fled to San Jose from San Francisco only to find that he had gone from bad to worse. He said:
 We went to St. Agnes, where we had friend. and found the asylum In ruins and 200 demented creatures buried there. It was sight to trans fix one with horror to see scores of mad men and women strapped to trees all over the grounds. crying, shrieking and cursing. g..
 Ordinarily troublesome in their way, the excitement of the falling building made them mad indeed, and their un- canny looks and fiery eyes were terri ble to behold. Nothing could be done for them. as there was no place to put them. and every sane man, woman and child available was digging to release the other unfortunates buried in the ruins.
 "Oh. such cries as came seemingly from the bowels of the earth: The devils have got me. Let me out I am the king. You cannot kill me- I want my supper. I want my dinner Just as the vagary seized them they. called out their disordered thoughts nor even guessed their true condition

the ghoui. The diamonds were found In the mans mouth afterward" WI That three men were shot to deati on blazing roof in San Francisco t keep them from being burned alive fl solemnly asserted by Max Fast, gar ment worker.
 "When the fire caught the Windsor hotel at Fifth and Market" said MT Fast, there were three men on the roof, and it was impossible to get them down. Rather than see the crazed men fall in with the roof and be roast ed alive the military officer directed his men to shoot them, which they did in the presence of 5000 people. I saw great stones fall on three men near the city hall, crushing the life out of them In Union square I stood beside wom. an who died actually from fright and thirst. Her last request was for water and we had none to give her"
 Coroner William Walsh estimates that the total number of dead will not be less than thousand.
 His reports are complete, and his es- timate is made up from all the data he has been able to collect.
 A late report says that 400 more bod ies have been uncovered in the clear ing away of Market street ruins. Fla tality estimates are steadily rising.
 Once the pride of Safl Francisco, Van Ness avenue is hat as the earth from dynamite and gun cotton. Every pound did it's work, and though the ruins burned 1t was but feebly. From Golden. Gate avenue north the fire crossed the wide street in but one place. That was the Claus Spreckels place on the corner of California street. There the flames were wrlthing up the walls before the dynamiters could reach it. Yet they made their way to the foundations, carrying their explo- sives despite the furnace-like heat
 The dynamiting squad of Captain MacBride saw that a stand was hope less except on Van Ness avenue. The ruined block that met the wide thor oughfare formed trench through the clustered structures that the confiagra- ton. wild as it was, could not leap.
 The desolate waste straight through the heart of the city is mute witness to the most heroic and effective work of the whole calamity. Three men did this, and when their work was over and what stood of the city rested quietly for the first time they departed as modestly as they had come. They were ordered to save San Francisco, and they obeyed orders, and Captain MacBride and his two gunners made history on that dreadful night.
 One of the grewsome scenes that has followed the fire was that witnessed on Telegraph and Russian hills and along the entire north beach front of the city when scores of half starved dogs were found eating human bodies. The ani- mals were discovered gnawing and tearing at the corpses half burned in the ruins. In response to appeals that something be done bluejackets were detailed to cover the sections desig- mated and kill all dogs found in those vicinities. All morning rife reports could be heard on the hillside and along the beach as the dogs were killed.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 25.-An of- ficial report sent by General Greedy of the extent of the loss of life in San Francisco is as follows:
 "very careful investigation made by Captain Vim limits as far as informa- tion is obtainable the entire San Fran cisco death list from late disaster to 277.y victims; of these about fifty un- known gathered from various parts of the city have been temporarily buried in Lombard and Ray streets, Washing ton square and Portsmouth square. In the Valencia hotel fourteen bodies were recovered and fifty-six others are believed to have perished in the ruins"
 General Greedy has made call for 2.5O0 more troops and will replace mi litia and citizens patrol with regulars, who are cooler and do not shoot unless under orders.
 The city was saved from utter anni- bilation by navy men with dynamite
 A squad of three sent ashore by Rear Admiral McCalla are being praised be- yond measure for their heroic work in halting the flames at Van Ness avenue.
 General Greedy after a conference with Mayor SchmitZ, the. chief of po- lice, and General Funston decided to accede to the wishes of the mayor and put regular soldiers on guard. It is hoped that this will do away with the promiscuous shootings of the past five days
 Chief of Police Dinan reports that Policeman Alpers. detailed on duty in an automobile, was fired upon by nili- tiamen at Hayes street and Van Ness avenue shortly before midnight. They were poor marksmen, and Alpers es- capped harm.

Judge Downing. who plays 8 great characterization of blind old sol dier in "A Square Deal" the new Edward E. Rose political comedy drama which comes here for the first time tomorrow and Friday evening, and Friday afternoon, had rather a harder time than the average actor in getting ahead in his stage career.

MAJOR GENERAL A. W. GREELY. has rallied many business men to his support, and now the twin disaster of earthquake and fire has made possible the accomplishment of Burnham's s dream, which it is admitted by every one will transform San Francisco into the most beautiful city in the world. Work will begin at once.
 | Many women now go about dressed in mems ordinary soft shirts and over alls. In this garb they were walking about their tents unconcernedly pre- pairing food. Those who are able to make themselves comfortable in any sort of clothing are indeed fortunate.
 In San Francisco there are few land marks left to go by. Down in Ports mouth square stands the monument to the memory of Robert Louis Steven son. The trees are scorched and with cred. and the bronze galleon on the monument looks down on long, rude trench with twenty three wooden pegs staked less than two feet apart They sleep close together, those nameless victims of earthquake and flames, touching shoulders in their shallow, lime strewn grave. Without priest or prayer they were hurried out of the sight of man. buried at night in the glare of a burning city.
 Secretary Shaw has sent s15, 900 of treasury funds to San Francisco for bank deposit to relieve money strin- gency.
 Danger of pestilential epidemic ap- pears averted, but hundreds of cases of pneumonia are now reported in the refugee camps. Rains added to the general misery.
 Several cases of intermittent insanI- ty have appeared among quake sur vivors owing to overstrained nerves.
 Chinatown Is gone forever from its old site. Mayor Schmitz has ordered that all the Chinese be concentrated on Hunters point. several miles from the city's center.
 Notifications at the Golden Gate suf- fered severely in the earthquake. and nearly all the big gun batteries are useless.
 Willis Ames. a Salt Lake man who escaped from San Francisco, makes a ghastly statement. saying:
 While I was walking about the streets I saw man after man shot down by the troops. Most of these were ghouls One man made the troop CT believe that one of the dead bodies lying on pile of rocks was his mother. and he was permitted to go up to the body.
