Prof. Gluck holds the degree Of doc
tor of philosophy from the University OF
Lemberg, Galatia. AS he expresses It, he
is to demonstrate empiricsly what he has
long held to be nationally true-namely:
That long continued mendacity will in time
lead man to a point of sad safety"
where he will ind it more pleasant to leave
the trimmings Of his conversation and re-
duce It to the scriptural yea, yea, and
nay, nay" Prof. Gluck will undertake not
only to adhere TO the truth during the year,
but he will enter into an ascetic life which
would have done credit to a middle age
adept In the event Of Jones refusal to
Sign the articles OF agreement today. Prof
Gluck makes the following announcement
70 the public:
~ am willing TO give a demonstration Of
the philosophy which l have been teaching
for years, and am willing to agree to live
according to this philosophy for one year,

quake of 1868 Described
by Mark Twain.

HNN HE recent disastrous earthquake
al extending over SO large part
n of the Pacific coast region and
wrecking such an extensive
section of the city of San Francisco
was not the first of these catastrophes
known in the western metropolis
though by all odds the most damaging.
For many years the municipal au-
thorities refused to permit tall build
ings i'm the city because of the fear OF
earthquakes, several of which had al
ready been experienced. Finally the
Introduction was removed, however,
and number of skyscrapers resulted.
Prior to 1890 there was hardly a
building in excess of five stories ana
only few of that height. Today there
is one eighteen stories high and quite
number from twelve to fourteen
stories.
In the spring of 1898, about 10 O'Clock
one night. the city had seismic shock
that put to test its high structures. 1t
was the worst earthquake since 1865,
when for eight or nine blocks on the
main street (Market the ground was
cracked open several inches.
In the upheaval of 1898 the tall build
ings were given a fearful shaking, and
some of their occupants were made
| dizzy and sick. The structures were
uniniured. and ever since that time
I there has not been so much question
of the safety of high buildings of mod
ern construction-that is buildings OF
| structural iron frame and facings or
| pressed brick, terra Gotta or stone.

for his newspaper. 1t was believed to
be a dangerous undertaking because oil

won out and thereby set an example OF
enterprise 10 other wealthy men who
have since built more tall buildings

York banker. who owns a great dea
of San Francisco property, has one o

Other imposing edifces, many or
which have been more or less severely
injured, are the Hotel st. Francis, the
Palace hotel, the Hall of Justice, the
Mutual Bank building, the Pacific Mu-
tual Life building and the Callaghan
building. The greatest property dam
age resulted in the manufacturing dis
trlct and the greatest loss of life In
the tenement house district.
The chief street of the city is Mar
ket, running diagonally for many miles.
The destruction of many Of the depart
ment stores and other business blocks
on Market and Mission streets was al
most complete. Fire added to the hor-
rors of the situation, and, as the water
mains had been burst by the shock,
the FIRE department was helpless The
flames ate their way along Market
street. and other fires started in differ
ent parts Of the city.

panic through the streets. Many were
caught by the falling roofs and walls,
and I'm the poorer districts the tene-
ments collapsed like eggshells. crush
ing and suffocuting their inmates De
fore they had time to escape. In many
cases fire finished the work Of death,
catching the victims as they were
pinned still alive under the debris.
To arrest the spread of the fire along
Market street many buildings were
dynamited.
The track of one railroad was de-
pressed four feet or more for dis
lance of three miles. At one point in
the city the earth cracked open for
distance of six feet, leaving yawning
chasm of fathomless depth.
The destruction OF all telegraph wires
except one belonging to the Postal
union. made it almost impossible for
the stricken city TO communicate with
the outside world. The severe injury
to the Western Union and Postal Of
fees. also the Associated Press, greatly
added 10 the difficulty.
The practical destruction OF six or
eight blocks, coupled with the immense
loss of life and damage to property
throughout San Francisco and the en-
tire coast region, makes this the worst
earthquake disaster in American his
tory, exceeding even the historic
Charleston earthquake OF few years
ago
San Francisco has suffered from
many slight seismic shocks, one OF
them occurring about year ago. AT
that time n long article appeared in
one of the papers. signed by a pro-
fessor in one Of the observatories near
by. stating that there was no partic-
Mar danger from these tremors OF the
earths surface. The coast region. ac-
cording TO this writer. was newer than
parts of the country farther east and
was therefore settling. He said peo-
pie should feel no alarm. as nothing
serious was liable to happen.
Evidently the earth's crust in the
Golden Gate region has been doing
/ some more settling"
The most severe earthquake San
Francisco has known prior TO the pres
ent one was i'm 1868. Quite a little
! damage resulted though nothing re-
motely comparable TO this. 1t was the
1868 shakeup that was made famous
by Mark Twain. The most surprising
I thing the genial Mark saw at that time
was the opening up Of the ceiling of
his room, the lips of the orilice work
ing to and fro like mouth and a brick
slipping through and held in suspen-
sion. like one lone tooth on the jaw OF
an old man.
The last earthquake that occurred in
San Francisco was in January. 1900.
Several distinct shocks were felt early
I'm the morning. causing the vibration
Of buildings all over the city. The
chief building affected was the st.
Nicholas hotel which was severely
shaken The walls collapsed in GER
tain parts of the structure guests were
thrown out Of their beds and furniture
was destroyed.
In 1904 there was n severe seismic
disturbance in Los Angeles, which was
felt throughout the city and for a
radius Of several miles around.

NOTHING TO ARBITRATE.
Operators Make Final Reply to the
Mine Workers.

Scranton, Pa, April 1S.-The big
coal companies hereabouts, with inc
exception of the Delaware. Lackawan'
ma and Western Co, are preparing Tor
long strike, feeling confident that a
strike will be declared at the conven-
ton of mine workers, which is TO be
held after the scale committee consid'
ers the operators answer TO the
miners counter-proposition.
New York, April 1S.-A sub-commit-
tee Of presidents Of the anthracite
coal carrying railroads and mine OPP
orators held a meeting in this city
Tuesday and drew up a letter to Pres
ident John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers of America, in which
the operators again declare that there
is nothing TO arbitrate, except the
question whether there shall be any
arbitration.
This reply is made in response 10
President Mitchell's recent amended
proposition of arbitration. The oper'
ators do not, however, refuse point
blank to accept Mr. Mitcheil's latest
plan. They assert that all the differ
ences between the miners and their
employers have been decided by the
strike commission and that there is no
reason why another attempt should be
made to arbitrate them. After de-
scribng the previous steps of the two
sides, and commenting upon the plans
suggested by the miners, the operators
aver that the miners have rejected all
the propositions, and that they have
/ nothing further TO offer.
The fundamental principles regard
! ing the conduct of this business have
been established by the strike COM
mission the operators declare. Ne
reason is suggested why they should
be retired. We have no further sug-
gestions to make than those contained
in our former propositions, and we re-
greet that you have declined both OF
them. We have nothing further to
offer"

says that when young girl goes to
prison for the first time it is for her
a very dreadful thing. He tells of q
case which came under his notice as a

she found herself in the prison, was
utterly overcome with shame and be-

trived to soothe her. When her time
came to be released the girl said to
the matron, give been so happy that
