An Awful Calamity.

When the FIRST news flushed across the
wires on Wednesday of last week that San
Francisco had been destroyed by an earth.
quake, it seemed TO he past belief, and the
nation al large, having but meager reports
from the stricken city, hoped that the report
was exaggerated. Its hopes were crushed;
each report brought news that the devasla-
ton was even more terrible and complete.
While the earthquake itself proved 10 he
terrific, wreeking building after building, yet
the fire famed into uuabating fury by fierce
gale, caused block after block of business
buildings and fine mansions of this proud
and beautiful city of the Golden Gate" to
wi,her aud disappear in its path until three.
four,hs thereof today is bu, Il smouldering
ash heap.
Hundreds of thousands of souls are home.
less. without shelter. food or rarnent.
The hearts of the American people go out
in deep sympathy to the stricken city and
her people and TO the other smaller places
that suffered. This calamity has again shown
the onents IS Of our people, for there could he
no greater evidence than the spontaneous
ou,pouring Of AID in money and supplies.
All are eager to give; the rich and poor alike
contributing to the relief Of The homeless and
helpless Thanks be to God there are no di-
visions among us when distress like this is
present. We know no differences in crecds
when We are called upon to minister to the
wants of those in distress such rs is ut San
Francisco.

San Francisco Destroyed
by Earthquake!

Earthquake and fire on Wednesday of last
week caused the greatest calamity California
has ever known.
Ia San Francisco it is estimated that be.
tween 1000 and 1000 persons persisted, many
are suffering flom injuries and over 800, GOO
are homeless.
The entire business portion of the city Ia
in ruins, and the flames which, owing to the
lack of water, swept over threefourths of the
city. The property loss is estimated as high
as $50O, 900.
The dreadful earthquake shock came with
out warning at 513 O'Clock on Wednesday
morning, 18th inst, Its motion, apparently,
being from east to west. At first the up
heaval of the earth was gradual. but in few
seconds 1t increased 10 intensity. Chimneys
began to fall and buildings to crack, to,ter-
ing on their foundations.
The people became panic stricken and
rushed into the streets. most Of toem in their
night attire. They were met by showers OF
falling buildings, bricks and cornices.
Many we're instantly crushed to death,
while others were dresdfally mangled.
The fire that swept through tho city after
the earthquake was uncomfortable, because
of the water mains having been disconnected
by the earthquake.
Other towns, more or less damaged and IN
several of which lives were lost ard people
injured are Berkeley, Oakland, San jose. Ala
media, Napa, Santa Rosa and Los Angeles.
The disturbance was plainly felt in Oregon
and Nevada.
Thousands of tents have been furnished by
the Government for the homeless. but many
thou ,ands are without shelter and are camp
ed In the parks about the city. A drench
ing rain On Sunday caused much misery in
camps about San francisco. 1t meant great
suffering for these. When it is understood
that thousands Of delicatey nur'urcd women
and Infants in arms and old and feeble per
sons are included in these camps, nothing
nee' be added to describe the misery OF their
condition.
The total amount Of the relief fund col
lccted to date is about $4,000, 0GO, and con-
tribuions continue which will amount to
many millions Of dollars more.
Owing 10 the scarcity of feminine attire,
many women arc wearing mems shirts and
overalls.
In the Baltimore fire the burned area WIS
slightly over 100 acres; the burned area Of
San Francisco Is about 30 times as great
Preparations are already being made for
the rebuilding of the city. II is believed TINT
plans prepared Ivy Architect Burnham, of
Chicago, before the calamity for the most
beautiful city III tile world" will now be
carried out expedi,iouslv as possible.

Ford's Grand Opera House.
Week April 30th w. A. Brady's special


production Of
WAY DOWN EAST
by Lottie Blair Parker.
The enduring qualities Of the famous ru-
raj play Way Down East" now in its eighth
and the best of its many good seasons, must
be attributed to an entire attractiveness Of
theme aud Interpretation. Monday, March
Goth lis 2j00th performance in New York
was celebrated at the Garrlck Theatre with
appropriate souvenirs.
The play is simple true to life picture of
the country and the farm, it depicts the
stern, rugged, unconpromising character Of
the New England farmer who believes in
livin' 'cording to the scriptures, and who has
little leniency for the weak or unfortunate
But the sturdy picture Of honesty is also
ehown and the finale of the play teaches the
lesson of justice and equality. Naturally a
strong vein OF comedy runs through the
play, IN fact there Is fully as much comedy
as pathos and the blending of the two has
been most artstically made.
A most elaborate production has been
made, and among the company are Phoebe
Davies, Robert Fisher, Ella Hugh Woods,
Thurlew Bergen, Mary Davenport, John
Brennan, James Galloway and others in
Guiding the famous double quartette.

Early-Operation of Child Labor Law.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: This year for the first time, Christmas may
be season Of rejoicing and bring gladness even to
the thousands of little children who toll In the de-
partment stores-to the cash children and messen-
gers, and especially to the little package wrappers
and delivery boys For in past years. to the shame
Of the community. the latter have often worked
past midnight stormy winter nights TO serve the
thoughtless shoppers who delay their shopping till
the last week before Christmas.
But this year should usher in a new era: Ac-
cordfng to the child labor law which was
passed by the last Legislature. all children, how
ever employed. are to be freed from work when the
clock strikes If the Department of Health and
its inspectors to 1t that the new provision Is
really enforced
community Is genuinely interested In checking child
labor BY shopping before December 10, and al
ways early in the day. the merchants Will be re-
lieved of the temptation Of keeping the children
beyond the legal closing hour. Ii remains to be
seen what showing the people of New York will
make in this practical test of their principles

, Sir: We find that many new things suggested by
The Tribune become facts. because the public sees
their force and adopts them. I have been thinking
thai IL some of the truths such those in Prest-
dent Roosevelts late message, could be put before
the young. the increase in right feeling and true
patriotism would be manifest II the truths con-
cerning right dealing between corporations and
their employees concerning Just dealing toward all
races of men, and concerning fair business among
individuals and corporations could be placed where
the minds Of youth could be influenced by them the
fruit would appear in young and women hav
ing broad Views and kinder sentiments toward their
fellow men.
Would 1t not be a practical way of doing II
