LADORERS BEGIN
RAzING OF SAINT
DOM|N|c'S Church

Acting under a permit from the
Board of Public Works, the fathers OF
ST. Dominic's Church have begun
the work Of razing the edifice at the
corner of Bush and Steiner streets. A
large force of laborers has been en-
ployed for the purpose.
The Board or Works on the previous
day had adopted a resolution ordering
the raz1ng Of the building because it
was deemed to be dangerous to the
lives Of passersby ana to adjacent
property.
The auctual work OF the demolition
of the sacred edif1ce was commenced
under the direction of the Rev. Father
Plus Murphy, rector Of the church. The
tall spires, which were stripped OF
brick and cement work by the earth
quake, were the first portion, Of the
building to be pulled down and the
rest of the damaged church will be re-
moved from the site in short time.
| It is the intention of Father Murphy
to erect another structure at the cor
ner Of Bush and Pierce streets, and
plans for the new building are being
pidly drawn. The new structure will
be reared In the same block, but on It's
eastern extremity.

A subcommittee Of the finance COM
mittee, composed Of James D. Phelan
and Allan Pollok. carefully investi-
gated yesterday the demands for aid
made by Dr.. Ward, president Of the
Board Of Health. DR.. Ward asked on
Friday that $4,000 be appropriated

he said that he could not be responsible

priation was not made

partment, went over each item on the
budget presented by DR.. Ward. Phe-
IAN and Pollok will report on the mat

offered to dispose Of garbage for II IL

had full power to act In this matter
also, but as it was assured that the

Those Who Refuse Work

Amy Relief.

Mayor schmitz has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the Are suf-
fersrs who ara homeless and living IN
tents:
The United States army under ths
direction OF Major General Greedy is
endsayoring in every way possible To
provide proper accommodations for the
housing and feeding OF those who are
destitute. General Greedy has there
fore directed that In order to secure
greater efficiency In this work that
those who are homeless be congregafed
in as few camps as possible. There
are many OF our homeless campod on
vacant lots. on hlllsides and other
places, separated from the large camps
which are supervised by an oficer OF
the United States army. The sanitary
condition OF these small camps Is not.
and cannot be, properly cared for. As
can be readily understood. ths large
camps, such as Golden Gate Park.
Presidio reservation and those at the
Potrero. have the best OF sanitary
conditions and are arranged in such
a manner as to give the best possible
results. Therefore. all those living IN
tents separated from the large camps
are requested and directed TO inms-
diately move when ordered to do 50
either. by the military authorities o.
the police and to take UP their living
quarters in one of these large camps
supervised by the proper military au-
thortties.
'It has been decided thai the best
way OF doing charity Is to help people
TO help themselves, and. therefore. any
able bodied men who can secure work
and fed at the expense OF the conanau-
nifty. There will. undoubtedly. be work
enough for al. those wanting some.
and preference will be given to those
who lived In San Francisco before the
fire
"The attention OF the public f. called
to the fact that In a very short tirns
the supplies on hand will be exhaust
ed. These supplies were and ara IN
tended for those IN absolute distress
only. Unfortunately, 1t has been re-
ported that there are men and women
mean enough to take supplies intended
for the destitute when they have
plenty OF their own. and, worse still.
to stand In line for their supplies and
to keep repeating this act In order
that they may collect large quantities
of same for their own gain have
directed the Police Department to keep
careful watch for those committing
this dastardly crime and. when detect
ed In the act. to have them prosecuted
for obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses Those receiving supplies. an
well as others. are hereby requested to
kindly inform the Police Departments
Of any breach of the law in this regard
that comes to their notice.
Again I say TO those In need. keeD
up your spirits and determination to

CHAPTER XVII.

| ~OR two days the Golden Rod lay
/ becalmed close to Cape Ia
Hague, with the Breton coast
extending along the whole of
the southern horizon. On the third
morning. however. came sharp
breeze, and they drew rapidly away
dim line which blended with the cloud
banks.
Il am frightened about my father,
Amory," said Adele as they stood to-
gether by the shrouds and looked back
at the dim cloud upon the horizon
which marked the position of that
France which they were never to see
again.
What do you mean, Adele? My
uncle is hale and hearty. and he will
accustom himself to this new life
IF it only could be so. But l fear,
fear that he is over old for such a
plant, but I read upon his face that
he is stricken to the heart"
De Catinat was about to suggest that
the voyage might restore the mer-
chants health. when Adele gave a cry
OF surprise and pointed out over the
port quarter.
Look she cried. ''There is some
thing floating upon the sea. I saw it
upon the crest of a wave"
He looked in the direction in which
she pointed, but it was so far from
him that he could make nothing of It,
but sharper eyes than his had caught a
glance of it. Amos Green had seen the
girl point
Captain Ephraim," said he, there's
a boat ON the starboard quarter"
The New England seaman whipped
up his glass.
AYE, it's boat" said he, "but an
empty one. Maybe it's been washed
of from some ship or gone adrift from
shore. Put her hard down, Mr.. Tom
linson, for it just SO happens that 1
am in need of a boat at present"
Half a minute later the Golden Rod
had swung round and was running
swiftly down toward the black spot
which still bobbed and danced upon
the waves. As they neared her they
could see that something was project
ing over her side.
Its a mans head. cried Amos
Green
But Ephraim's grim face grew grim
mer. Its mans foot said he. -
