George Westinghouse also likes violet

Suicides Decrease.
That those who pulled through the quake
and flame and subsequent hardship find life
sweet and well worth living is attested by
the record Of the morgue. Before the earth
quake and fire the morgue was the deposit
tary OF an average OF from ten to twelve
suicides each week. Many of these unfur-
Inmates came from the dance halls Of the
Barbary Coast some from the higher class
tenderloin resorts along Ellis and Mason
streets. and others from all parts of the
residence section OF the city. Love affairs,
ANNOUNCEMENTS and financial reverses
seemed to be the principal causes for leav-
ing the gas Jets open or swallowing a
goodly dose of carbolic acid
There have been only three suicides since
the earthquake. These sixty days would,
had It not been for the disaster been pro-
ductive Of about ninety suicidal deaths ac-
cordlng to the average made out in tho
coroners office. Yet only three have de-
cided to call curtains on their lifes play
the loaded pistol route.
Telegraph Companies Condemned.
The grand jury of San Francisco has is
sued a report arraigning the telegraph COM
panies for charging full rates on messages
received during and following the fire,
many of which were forwarded by mail.
The report is so severe that II will be sure
to injure the business of the Western
Union. and, in lesser degree. that Of the
Postal company. The report shows that
the Western Union had only two eastern
wires on the days of the fire and that the
government monopollzed one of these and
the Southern Pacific Railroad company the
other. The jury ALSO declares that the
Western Union sent out only two linemen
TO repair its wires near San Francisco,
trusting to the railroad company to do this
work. The jury advises all who sent dis
patches and suffered delay to bring damage
suits against the Western Unipn company.

MAE WOOD CASE DISMISSED
Last of the Sensational suits Brought
I'm Douglas County Is
Thrown Out.

The last Of the sensational cases brought
by Mae c. Wood growing out of her al
legged relations with Senator Plat OF New
York was dismissed Saturday morning by
Judge Sears for want of prosecution. This
case was against William Loeb, secretary
to President Roosevelt, j. Martin Miller
and Robert J. Wynne, consul general at
London. She demanded $4,000 because she
alleged the defendants had conspired to
take from her bunch of love letters writ
ten by Senator Plat.
John W. Battin, who represented Mr.
Loeb. did not enter his appearance, as no
service was had on the defendants. The
other two cases were dismissed recently for
the same cause.
Miss Wood has recently broken loose in
Colon, Wis, her old home. She now threat
ems to bring suit for a part Of Senator
Platt's estate, asserting she was legally
married TO him. She says she has mar
rage certificate which she threatens to
spring.
District Clerk Frank A. Broadwell has
filed his answer to tho mandamus suit in
which the county is seeking to require him
to pay into the treasury $500 he received
as a member Of the insanity commission.
The answer declares he has paid over to
the county all fees earned as clerk of the
district court and has made a complete set
Element with the county, the settlement be-
Ing in full of all money due him from his
first term. He says he has filed claims for
his fees as member of the insanity COM
mission and they have been allowed and no
appeal taken by the county.
Mr.. Broadwell holds he is not required
by law to account for these fees and the
case was started to test the law.

abroad. The one object OF this present
emergency message from the publicity de-
partment Of the Southern Pacific company
is to tell, clearly, II not In detail not
only the sum Of San Francisco's misfor-
tune, but to echo the note that has been
sounding ever since those days Of distress,
OF hope and courage and confidence, that
San Francisco is by no means destroyed,
that the lessons taught by Chicago and
Baltimore and our other hreswept cities
have not been lost here, and, most en-
phatically, that fire. terrible and unchecked,
and not those forty-three seconds OF the
earth's trembling, was responsible for the
tremendous damage, loss and destruction"
The same Old Town.
The San Francisco Call is back in its old
quarters in the towering Spreckles build
ing, which withstood both quake and flame,
and looks out upon the surrounding debris
with the cheer Of an optimist Editorially
the Call says the reconstructed city will
be the same old San Francisco. as regards
the business center. "In a majority Of
cases." says the Call, "the walls of the
bank buildings resisted both earthquake
and fire, and It has been comparatively
easy to clear the old banking rooms of
debris and fit them up for banking pur-
poses. The banking of San Francisco is
now being done on the same premises
where It has been carried on for years
and where in all probability 1t will be
carried on for years to come.
THE rebuilding of the Palace hotel along
line suggestive OF the old establishment
will, too do much to give the new San
Francisco the character Of the old. Fer
more than thirty years the Palace hotel
has been landmark, and a notable one.
Strangers starting on a visit to California
have been given their bearings with the
Palace as a starting point The travelling
world, as we'll as the San Francisco world,
has been accustomed to look for the
Palace and they will do so in the future,
10 many, the old hotel restored, San
Francisco will not seem so greatly changed
after all.
"And neither will the restored city be
greatly changed. The majority of the large
buildings that gave the old city distinction
and character still stand, and will soon be
completely restored. Buildings which, like
the Emporium and the Palace, will have to
be pulled down, will be rebuilt as fast as
enterprise and energy, backed by unlimited
wealth, can do the work. The new San
Francisco will be a better built city, more

Dwellers in cities seldom think of the

The pay for such hazards is two or three

Most of the intrepid souls who dare to
mount to the shaky and insecure regions
are old-time sailors. Herman Cromwell, a
jantor at the court house, is one. For
years he painted the stacks at the Union
Pacific shops. Another painter who has
not been stumped by anything found in
Omaha is named Howard. His son, Jesse,
is a youth of II, who was a chronic truant
from school. One day some one was wanted
to paint the fagpole on a high downtown
building and Jesse responded. His success
seemed to give him new ideas and he quit
playing truant. Since then he has out
