GEN. LAWRENCE
In The CITY.
The New Adjutant General
Passed Through Here
Yesterday:
EN- ROUTE TO CADIZ.
Assistant Adjutant General
Has Not Yet Been
Appointed,
EN- ROUTE TO cADIz.

Gen. Henry r. Lawrence, the new
Adjutant General, accompanied by
Hon. L. P. Head and Mr.. Hicks, of
Paducah, passed through the city
yesterday, returning from Frank
fort.
General Lawrence first came into
public life as a page in the General
Assembly. He was elected by the
Democrats of Trigg county to seat
in the lower house at the session of
1902, and again in 1904 and 1906.
He is a newspaper man, being editor
of the Cadiz Record. He is about 80
years old, handsome and unmarried.
The office Of Assistant Adjutant
General is yet vacant, having been
so since the promotion of Gen. Haly
to be Adjutant General two years
ago. and it will very probably be
filled within the next few days.
The first official act of Gen. Law
renee was to issue an order to the
members of the Guard, giving notice
of his appointment. The order reads
as follows:
State of Kentucky, Adjutant Gen
erals Office, Frankfort, April 10,
1906. General Orders No. 2.-The
following executive order is pub
lished for the information and guild
ance of all concerned:
April 10, 1906. Executive Orders:
Gen. Percy Haly, Adjutant General
of Kentucky, having rendered his
resignation to enable him to accept
another position, the resignation is
hereby accepted, same to take effect
April 3, 1906.
Henry r. Lawrence, of Trigg
county, is hereby appointed Adju-
tant General, with the rank of Brig
adler General, vice Percy Haly, re-
signed, said appointment to take
effect this date.

chairman of the newly created board
of charities.

homes, into which many put their
all.
Golden Gate Park, admittedly the
finest playground in the United
States, has been converted into a
camping ground, as has the Preside.
There countless thousands of men,
women and children are huddled,
powerless to do more than gaze
with fearsome awe upon this mod
ern Pompeii.
From other sections of California,
within a radius of an hundred miles
of the destroyed city, there comes
nothing but the most dreadful tales
of death and disaster.
Santa Rosa, in the beautiful vine
clad Napa valley, has been RACED to
the ground, and reports indicate
heavy loss of life.
Palo Alto, made famous by reason
of its holding Leland Stanford, Jr.,
University, is mass of ruins, though
happily only two lives were lost. The
university buildings are wrecked.
San Jose, twenty miles below Palo
Alto, is badly damaged by the earth
quake, the Hall of Records and the
Hall of Justice being entirely de-
stroyed. Ten people are known to
have been killed in the earthquake.
From as far south of San Francis
co as Santa Barbara come meager
reports of the direful effects of the
seismic disturbance, and when the
final summary is made up, April 18,
1906, will probably go down in histo-
ry as the most tragic day of the last
three centuries.
Congress has taken quick hold of
the situation by voting S1,000,000,
while from nearly every city in the
Union has come offers of substan-
tial aid.

Surpasses Chicago Fire.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 19.-If the pub
lished reports are confirmed, as it
now seems probable they will be, the
calamity in San Francisco will exceed
in magnitude and horror that which
occurred in Chicago on October 6 and
8, 1871. At the time of the great fire
this city had a population of about
S20, 900, while San Francisco now has
nearly $4,000. The loss of life in
Chicago was comparatively small.
The number of dead was never def
nitely ascertained, but it did not ex-
coed 200. In the California metropo-
lis it is believed that upward of 1000
persons have persisted and tits known
that thousands have been injured.
In the matter of destroyed prop
erty the figures are more equal. The
loss in Chicago amounted to $780,
0O0, 900, that in San Francisco is esti-
mated at the same figure. Here IT,
450 buildings were burned and 10000

persons made homeless. In San Fran
cisco the buildings are said to be 3d.
600 and the number of homeless is
reported to be 10000.
How much assistance will be re-
quired by the victims of the Pacific
coast disaster may be estimated from
the fact that it took nearly ST 900. 900
in contributions from the outside
world to tide the people Of Chicago
over the period of distress.
The Galveston calamity surpassed
that in San Francisco in tue number
of lives lost, the dead numbering
more than 5000, but the property
loss was only about 100000.

San Francisco, April 2O.-At last
the fire was checked this morning at
Van Ness Avenue and Mission street
though it is still raging on Russian
hill and towards the bay.
Over three hundred thousand peo-
pie are homeless. Only about one
fourth of the city will be saved.
Efforts to relieve the famine are
succeeding. The majority of the
people spent last night in tents on
the hills, afraid to trust themselves
to the houses which were still I'M
harmed.
Loss of life is estimated at from
1000 to 5000, although last figures
are thought to be exaggerated, and
from 1000 to 1900 to be nearer
correct.
The property loss is estimated at
$500, O00,0 900. The entire business
section is a mass of ruins.
The Horror of the Situation.
Since the announcement Wednes-
day morning of the frightful earth
quake that seized and leveled to the
ground San Francisco, the pride of
the whole Pacific slope, and the 9th
largest city in the Union, every hour
has added new horror. The pictur-
esque old town that came into Gre
alive existence by reason of the find
ing of gold nugget in Suffers Mill
race, has practically been swept
from the face of the map, and it is
doubtful if hundred years will suf-
fee to restore it to its former com
mercial importance and social splen-
dor.
The loss of life, when the grand
total is summed up, will doubtless
be appalling, as it is now practically
certain that at least 500 persons per-
ished, while many times this number
were seriously, many fatally, in
jured.
In the matter of property losses,
the latest dispatches give out the
news that the city has been and is
now being ravished, north, east,
south and west, by all-devouring
flames, which no human agency has
so far been able to in the least check.
The fire losses are estimated to run
from $15O,OOO,OOO to 5000, 100000.
The entire business district has
been destroyed by fire; the famous
Chinatown is a thing of the past;
Mob Hill, where lived the multi-mil-
lionaires, is a mass of ruins; in fact,
the entire city has surrendered to,
sea of fire which will be conquered
only when there is nothing more to
destroy.
South of Market street, where ran
the city for several miles, there re-
mains mainly ashes and smoke. 1t
is in this section of the city that the
middle classes have built their

Circumstantial Evidence that Surely

venture with a supposed burglar and
its surprising sequel. Two married
couples, occupying adjoining houses,
were on very friendly terms, and one
lady informed the other that she and
her husband were to spend the even-
ing at the opera house. The lady de-
layed her departure to meet her hus-
band, and put the poker in the fire
to make 1t burn brighter. Just as
she withdrew it, red-hot, she heard
someone trying to open the front
door. Going down noiselessly she
saw mans hand through the letter
box aperture, with an ingeniously.
contrived piece of wire, with which
the person was trying to pull back the
spring catch of the lock. In an in
slant she applied the red-hot poker to
the mans hand, rubbing 1t all over.
The hand was withdrawn with an
