 Oakland, California Aprllo-- Ny Dear Home Folks: guess long before this reaches voa the news of the awful catastrophe that has fallen upon San Fran cisco will be known to YOU. | don't include Oakland, because, terrible as it seems to uS. there is no comparison to San Fran cisco, which now seems almost to have been wiped out of exis- tence. 0, It is awful! l can hardly calm myself to write l just sit and watch the black smoke, and can feel the awful sensations that felt during the earthquake. I grow dizzy and faint 0, my God, it is awful! Thousands dead and dying, all that were spared homeless and penniless. and millions of prop erty wiped out bytire. Even now everything to eat is scarce, as thousands are taking refuge here, ard every vacant house is in demand We Will be lucky if We dc Tot suffer for food.
 Lots of damage was done in Oakland and surrounding eoun- trg, and some smaller cities are totally wrecked. There is hard 1y a flue left Tn Oakland, and some Of the larger buildings are ruined. Tie streets down town were piled with wreckage,= six or seven people killed and a number injured. When the shock came Fill was up and had just started q fire. Just as lie called ne the awful shock came and l remem- Der no more until l found myself in the parlor olinging to d table, which Was rocking like d chair, and l was calling on God to spare us. Everything was rattIing so ] thought there would not be dish left. The stove fell and went into the middle of the room and 1 saw the blaze going up and called to Fill to put out the fire. He says he never knew spoke, or that the stove fell. He was dressed and sat on a lounge in the kitchen. As soon as 1 could walk Igot tehim, and hewas white as a sheet. Only few things were broken. My cupboard was made in the wall and the door was fastened. Everything in the pantry fell to the floor. It was the first morning that Fill had not lighted lamp, and 1t was about the first thing that smash ed. The pictures all turned on tile wall, and everything on the piano was thrown across the room. Ne are cooking out in the yard on an old stove, as no fires are permitted until every house is in- speeted. No business going on except such as is necessary.

 I've just heard that the dyna- hitting is stopped, as no more dynamite can be gotten Almost continually 1t has been kept up until today it slaekened. It just sends terrors to our hearts to hear 1t, but they say now the fire will rage until everything is consum ed. o, 1t all seems like a terrible night mare.

The grand jury yesterday re- turned true bill against Victor Price, the young man who shot and killed Fred Bussey last February. He is charged with murder ill the first degree and popular sentiment and those who know the abandoned reeklessness of Price i'll the commission of this deed are almost to a man of the opinion that lie should be held to severe account. It is not likely that the case will come up for trial at this term of the court. .-- Fayetteville Daily.

One Of the most interesting features
OF official life in st. Petersburg is the
intricate system by which the cars
life Is safeguarded. Since the tragic
death OF the Grand Duke Sergius the
spy system has become more compli-
Gated than ever until now there are
whole regiments OF officials and care
fully picked men md women whose
duty 1t is to guard the car. A de-
scription or this spy system II contain-
ed In an article by L. s. Farlow In Har-
per's Weekly. These officials, says 7.
s. Farlow. are scattered through the
ministry or the Interior. the secret Do
lice and the ministry Of war The In
per circle OF the system Is the dreaded
third section OF the secret police
the men who are charged with the
guardianship OF the cars person.
These men are highly educated. are
artists In disguise aud possess extraor-
binary knowledge and power. High
officials. nominally their superiors in

men lest their most innocent act--a call
on friend. a Journey for health or
pleasure-be construed into a sinister
act demanding explanation"
