READ HIMSELF WARM.
Thought II the Book He Had Chosen,
but II Was the Furnace.

Recent events at Vesuvius and on
the California coast, notably the
burning of San Francisco, have
suggested to many people certain
lines of reading dealing with similar
-catastrophes.
A certain young man in town, left
in charge of the house while the fam
lily went to church, got out bit of
Roman history dealing with the
burning of Rome under Nero. He
sat down near a furnace and soon
became deeply absorbed in reading.
Presently he got very warm and got
up and removed his coat. He read
while longer and seemed to be
getting hotter, so he removed his
vest and collar. He read some more
and it finally appeared necessary
that he should remove his shoes,
which he did.
Finally the family returned from
church and as one of the young la
dies of the household came into the
hall she exclaimed:
For goodness sake, Jimmie, why
don't you check the furnace?"
Jimmie" said: "A-w-w-w! is that
what is making me so hot? | thought
it was this blamed book"

REV. DIR. ENELOW'S VIEWS.
San Francisco Horror Lesson to
the World.

Most of the Louisville pastors took
occasion Sunday to discuss the Pa
cific coast catastrophe. Many of them
took up contributions for the relief
fund. The Rev. DR.. H. G. Enelow, of
the Adas Israel temple, but former
ly of Temple Israel, Paducah, drew
from the calamity examples of hero
ism. hope, goodness and humanity,
summing up his conclusions in the
words:
And it ought to have a ehasten-
ing influence on all of us, reminding
us of the frailty of all life and the
instability of our material greatness;
1t should teach us to conduct our
selves with that humanity and JUS
tiee and to radiate that gladness and
beauty which alone can give whatev-
er strength and dignity there may be
possible for the race of men and en-
large that treasury of light and hap
plness of which humanity Is so much
in need, and which IL is the duty of
every good man and woman, accord
ing to the power of each, to in
crease"

Are Flimsy Rurnors.

Almost all the stories of rash vio-
lence on the part of the troops are
flimsy rumors. During last nights
patroling many troops admitted o
newspaper men that they did not
know what their orders were or
where they came from. II appeared
all were using their own judgment.
The state militia all said they were
under orders of state militia COM
manders, but whether they are work.
ing in pursuance of orders or not
they failed to recognize city passes.
thereby causing much confusion and
inconvenience to those who were en-
gagged in relief work. Regular
troops are working in accord with
instructions from the mayors Office.
Consequently they have been the sal
walton of the patrol system.

when Cushing sank the Albemarle.
The Spirit of Jones.

In his fight with the Scraps
Jones' ship was SO badly mauled that
his opponent hailed him saying
HAS your ship struck?" to which
Jones answered, 81 have not yet be-
gun to fight" The spirit which in
spired that answer upbore the man
who gave 1t and the crew who served
under him through the fury of the
battle, which finally ended in their
triumph. IL was the same spirit
which marked the commanders of
the Cumberland and the Congress,
when they met an equally glorious
though less fortunate fate. The Cum
berland sank, her flag flying, and her
guns firing with the decks awash,
while, when summoned to surrender,
Morris replied, Never! I'll sink
alongside" and made his words
good. Immediately after the Cum
berland was sunk the Congress was
attacked, and her commander, Lieu
tenant Joe Smith, was killed. After
fighting until she was helpless, and
being unable to bring her guns to
bear, the ship was surrendered; but
when Smiths father old Commodore
Joe Smith. who was on duty at
Washington, saw the dispatches
from Fort Monroe that the Congress
had hoisted the white flag, he said
quietly. Then Joe's dead" Surely
no father could wish to feel a proud
er certainty of mis- boys behavior
than the old commodore showed he
possessed when he thus spoke; and
no naval officer could hope to win
finer epitaph.
Honor to the Mighty Dead.
We have met today to do honor to

and mind and body fit ourselves so
that in time of need we shall be pre-
pared to emulate their deeds. Let
every midshipman who passes
through this institution remember,
as he looks upon the tomb of John
Paul Jones, that while no courage
can atone for the lack of that eff
cheney which comes only through |
careful preparation in advance.
careful training of the men, and
careful fitting out of the engines of
war. yet that none of these things |
can avail unless in the moment of
crisis the heart rises level with the |
crisis The navy whose captains !
will not surrender are sure in the
long run to whip the navy whose |
captains will surrender, unless the |
inequality of skill or force is prodig- |
ious. The courage which never |
yields cannot take the place of the
OF good ships and good |
weapons and the ability skillfully |
to use these ships and these wea-
pons; but its presence will often
atone. for many other shortcomings.
and IL with il are combined the other |
qualities, the fortunate

scribed for the relief of the homeless
sufferers. There will be plenty to
distribute, but the problem now is

The finance committee will no
doubt dispense all money and sup
plies but will do its work through
the regular army, and looking to that
end, a conference will be held at
Fort Mason tomorrow at which the
state will be represented by Governor
Pardee, the army by Gems. Funston
and Greeley, and the finance commit
tee by James ID. Phelan, William f.
Harris, Garrett McInery and NJ. H.
DeYoung. At meeting yesterday af-
ternoon it was proposed that all per-
sons that had homes left shall be fore
ed to pay for their provisions and
that only actual sufferers be given
free food. Regular soldiers will be
given charge of the distribution of
supplies.
Fed i'm business Way.
People are fed in thoroughly
business-like and systematic manner.
From the water front where boat
loads of provisions are docked, there
was an endless procession of carts
and drays carrying food to sub-sta-
tions established throughout the city
and parks. At these food and drink
were served to all those who applied.
About 1900 tons of provisions are
being moved daily from the water
front.
Large supplies of blankets. tent
ings and other material to provide
coverings for those who have been
scantil supplied heretofore are
reaching supply stations rapidly. Bar
racks have been completed at several
points and in these many people have
found comfort and shelter against
the inclemencies of the weather.
General health conditions are most
satisfactory. The most encouraging
feature is the absence of anything
like an epidemic of disease of any ma
ture whatever.
Water is still scarce in some sec
tion of the city but every effort is be
ing made to increase the supply. An
inspection of the system shows that
at some points pipes are badly twist
ed and displaced from the effects of
the quake and these will have to be
replaced by new ones.
