exhorts them to appeal to the generosity Of
their congregations IN aid OF the San Fran
cisco sufferere Sunday. Nay 9. Ii named
as the date for general collection In
Washington and throughout the diocese.
The letter recttes the fact that great dis
tress prevails and then states:
THE horrors of this catastrophe are well
known to you. The unanimous response OF
the people throughout the country to the
cry of the distressed is sffT fresh In your
memory. But, In addition TO all the other
terrible features Of this awful visitation,
your attention Ia hereby called to the de-
struction OF many churches and many In
stftutions of charity and religion. Those
splendid monuments which long years of
patient zeal. ardent toll and loving sacrifice
had built up for the advancement of re-
ligfon and civilization. for the promotion OF
religious education. and for the protection
of the destitute. the diseased, the aged and
the orphan. are all wiped out in a day.
I'm order to begin anew this Interrupted
work OF lettering the spiritual and material
condition of the pepole you are most
earnestly exhorted to appeal to your con-
gregatfon. They know the sad facts. They
fully appreciate both the loss suffered and
the advantages to be gained. They have
tender, responsive hearts and the simple
announcement of a collection should surely
De met by most generous contribution.
This collection Is to be taken up in all
the churches of the archdiocese on Sunday.
May g. You are also requested TO read this
circular at all the masses on Sunday. April
20, as well as on the day of the collection -

coMpLETELY SWEPT OUT.
Mr.. Nicholas A. Acker Loses All His
Office Effects.

Mr.. L. 8. Bacon Of this city has received a
communication dated April 60 from Mr..
Nicholas A. Acker. formerly a Washington
ian and a brother of DIR. G. N Acker OF
this city. Mr.. Acker resides In Oakland.
Cal, and his law offices were in San Fran
cisco
Speaking of the recent terrible catastrophe
he said in his letter:
Il have no office, records, library, nor, in
fact, anything else by which to guide me
relative to Office affairs. l am simply swept
out completely, not thing remaining OF
my former office supplies, and it is~a mat
ter of starting all over again. However,
we are all determined to pull ourselves to-
gether and do the best under the circum-
stances.
1T is beyond me to describe what we have
gone through. 1t is sufficient to say that
the worst you can picture to yourself will
not adequately describe the situation The
earthquake terrible. Every building in
this city of Oakland was more or less dam
aged. AS to new home all chmneys
are destroyed and the walls terribly crack
ed on the home. The loss will probably
reach between one thousand and two thou
sand dollars. However, my loss is slight
compared to many others, whos~ three days
ago. were worth millions. San Francisco IS
simply gone, far more than two-thrds of
the city is consumed, and when I say con-
sumed understand me as meaning COM
pieteiy gone.
Where friends and relatives are | do not
know and cannot ascertain, but trust they
are safe. The fire in the city is stu burn
Ing, but Is presumed to be under control.
1t will be weeks before one can relocate
their business place. for the furnace must
cool off before we can seek for lost matter.
1t is hard to realize that our grand, magnifi-
cent city Is something of the past. We will
recover and have city much grander in
every way than our dear doomed and
wrecked city.
THE moment I realized the character of
the shock jumped out of bed and ran for
Benefits room, pulling the boy out of bed
just as the bureau tumbled over the bed.
A moment more and he would have been
smashed. He Is safe and SO are the rest of
us. Therefore we have everything to be
thankful for. Oakland Is being rapidly
crowded with those flowing from the city,
camps being established everywhere. The
suffering Is going to be something terrible
during the next thirty days. sickness will
do much and many deaths will follow. Al
ready smallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever
have appeared in the several camps. ] an
ticpate nothing less than quarantine for
the entire territory"

"Wm A. Winchester, who has been run
ming a market in this village for the past
two years, has sold all his real estate in
town and purchased place of business in
SearSport, to which place he will remove
his family and business on February first.
Since coming from MasSachuSett to Brooks
to establish himself in business MIR. Win
chester has proven himself thorough buSl-
ness man, and one whose word in business
transaction is as good as his bond. When
he first came to Brooks he bought the old
masonic building, which was badly in need
of repairs, thoroughly renovated the same,
adding many modern improvements, ana
making it one of the finest country stores to
be found anywhere. Through his public
spirit and energy public sewer was built
through the business section of the corner,
also connecting with many of the residences,
one of the most beneficial public improve
ments ever introduced into our village. In
all other respects he has shown himself to
be public spirited, energetic business man,
and one that our village can ill-atford to
lose. We are sorry to have such people as
Mr. Winchester and his estimable Christian
wife leave US, but what is our loss is Sears
