WINE INSTEAD OF WATER.
Lads on Telegraph Hill Save Their
Homes With the Grape.

San Francisco, Cal.-An incident OF
the fire in the Latin quarter on the
slope of Telegraph Hill is worthy OF
note, The only available water supply
was found in a we'll dug in early days.
At q critical moment the pump sudden
ly sucked dry and the water in the well
was exhausted. One who was not on
the hill in the circle of flame cannot
even imagine the situation.
There is a last chance, boys" was
shouted, and cellar doors were crashed
in and residents began rolling out bar
rels of red wine. The cellars gave
forth barrel after barrel until there
was fully 500 gallons ready for use.
Then barrel heads were smashed in and
the bucket brigade turned from water
to wine. Sacks were dipped in the
wine and used for beating out the fire.
Beds were stripped of their blankets
and these were soaked in the wine and
hung over the exposed portions of the
cottages and men on the roofs drenchcd
the shingles and sides of the houses
with wine. And the wine won.
Until 4 O'clock this morning those
lads on the hill carried on the fight,
much Of the time using wine instead Of
water. They saved their homes and
went thirsty to save the vine to pour
On the fire.

SUFFERING CHILDREN
Given Fiery Whisky Because No
Water Could Be Had.

Los Angeles, GAIA fragmentary
account Of the terrible suffering en-
durcd by the little children Of San
francisco in the earthquake fire was
brought to this city yesterday by Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Huskey and Mrs. Kate
Land wholiyed together on Pine street.
Under our own observation" said
Mrs. Huskey, was the case Of one
child, i'll of diphtheria, who was carried
into the streets Wednesday night by
her parents and died in agony on a lawn
that morning"
Utter lack of water in some districts
pcopled by the refugees set the chill
dren to moaning and pleading for drink.
Men of ruined families made every
human effort to satisfy the thirst Of
their little ones. Failing at last, and in
desperation, they invaded the neigh
boring saloons and brought whisky 10
the women. Unable longer to with
stand the plcadings Of the children,
mothers poured small quantities Of fiery
liquor into tin cans and other available
receptaclcs and gave it to the tots to
drink. The natural result was to in
crease the pangs of thirst t~wcntyfold
and the sight Of ]wobegone, staggering
children was witnessed by observers.

GOV. COX'S PROCLAMATION.

The people of Tennessee, in addi-

thy stirring their hearts, have other
ties binding them in the bonds of friend
ship with the unfortunate people Of
San Francisco. Tennesseans have not
forgotten the magnificent and courteous
treatment accorded their soldier repre-
scntatives in the days of their long stay
on the way to the Philippines. Inthis,
probably the greatest hourof need that
will ever come to California and her
magnificent citizenship, T~enncsscans

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.

this bill to become a law without my
signature. Notwithstanding my misgiv-
Jngs as to its constitutionality. / am

NIMROD LAMY
KILLS BEARS
Man Who Hunts and Traps on Dalton
Divide Has Slain Over Thirty
OF the Animals.

Two men walking behind burros on
which were loaded two cinnamon
bears, attracted considerable atten.
tion yesterday afternoon, as they
passed through the streets of the cap
ital to a local meat market, where the
bears were sold. One OF the men
was Miguel Lamy, a hunter and a
trapper on the Dalton divide in the
upper Pecos country, who has killed
thirty or forty bears to say nothing Of
many other wild animals The bears
he brought in yesterday we're not
large. One was a she bear weighing
perhaps five hundred pounds and the
other was cub. Lamy shot them
both during snow which fell recent
ly on the divide. He tracked the ami
mails to spot about fifteen miles off
the Indian trail. The she bear was
savage and would have protected her
cub had not a shot from the hunters
rifle broken her fore leg near the
shoulder. The cub tried to make off
but was quickly laid low with one
shot. Both of the bears had fine coats
of hair and were as fat as butter.
They were evidently Just preparing
to go into winter quarters for the long
sleep, which the animals take each
year. Lamy says there are plenty of
bear and that they are in good con-
dition.
