French Underwear by Hand.
With the present craze for French

There are lot OF pretty new things
that girls who like fancy work can do

expert needle women. Fortunately, too,
most OF these are small pieces, or those
that do not require days OF constant
work 10 finish. so that the embroidery.

pastime does not really become a bur

measures were necessary and gave or
ders that looters were to be shot at
sight. Four men were summarily exc
cuted before 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. At a meeting Of fifty citizens
called by the mayor it was announced
that 1,400 tents will be pitched in
Golden Gate Park and arrangements
have been made to feed the destitute
in the public squares.
One Of the first orders issued by
Chief Of Police Dinan was to close
every saloon in the city, to prevent
drink-crazed men from rioting.
Sweeps Everything in Path.
The fire swept the streets so rapidly
that 1t was practically impossible to
save anything in its path.
The dense smoke that arose from
the entire business district spread out
like an immense funnel and could
have been seen for miles out at sea-
Occasionally, as some drug house or
place stored with chemicals was
reached, most fantastic effects were
produced by the colored flames and

Other Places Suffer.
Reports from outside districts indi-
cate widespread damage. San Jose,
fifty miles south, lost many buildings,
and between fifteen and twenty per-
sons were killed. The annex of the
Vendome hotel collapsed and fires
broke out. Stanford university and
Palo Alto suffered. At Stanford many
of the handsome buildings were de-
molished, and two people were killed.
Suburbs in Ruins.
The court house at Redwood City
and other buildings collapsed Menle
Park, Burlingame and other fashion
able suburban towns suffered. Santa
Rosa, to the north; Napa, Vallejo and
all towns around the bay were dam
aged. These reports, alarming as
they were. created little interest in
San Francisco, where the people were
SO frantic that they rushed into the
streets in night garments.

been swept into the sea. Not thing
remains to tell where the monster
stone building once stood. 1t has been
levelled to the foundation and only
the rock foundation lining the sea
coast remains intact.
Destruction Seems Complete.
San Francisco, April 21.-San Fran
cisco now is the city Gesolate. 1t
seemed that the acme of it's misery
was reached at dusk, when flames
burst from all sides of the beautiful
Hotel Paramount, the palace that
above every other structure was ap-
parently most strongly entrenched
against the attack of the all-consum-
ing fire. And surrounding that lofty
pinnacle of flame, as far as the eyes
could see to the south, to the east and
far out to the west lay in cruel fan
tastic heaps charred and smoking all
that remains of a prosperous city.
Acre After Acre Swept.
Yesterday was another day of un-
even struggle between man and un-
cOnquerable elements. Acre after acre
of buildings have been reduced to en-
bers and ashes, despite the despair
ing struggles of the firemen to limit
the contlagration. Last night there
was hope that the worst has been
nearly reached and that when day
dawned the end would be in sight.
But hope is faint. If the flames can
be halted in their devastation of the
western addition, then 'finis' will be
written to the great disaster.
Seek More to Devour.
With each succeeding hour the de.
vastation and destruction in this pros.
trate ruin of a city grows. The bust
ness and wholesale district is now
only a glowing furnace, while the
giant tongues of fire have reached the
westward far beyond Van Ness ave-
nue., and are wiping out buildings and
seeking more to devour

making little headway toward the
hills to the west, where thousands OF
people are camped.
The third and most dangerous fire
is that threatening the western Sec
ton. This is really a continuation OF
the Mob Hill fire. 1t is wedge-shaped,
Awful Havoc Wrought.
The magnitude of the calamity that
has befallen San Francisco became ap-
parent yesterday morning when red
sun arose above the horizon and dis
sipated the pail of darkness that hung
over the stricken districts.
Looking eastward from the heights
in the central portion of the mctropo-
lis, everything attested to the awful
havoc wrought by earthquake and
flame
Where once rose noble buildings in
frail walls, isolated, tottering chin
neys, heaps of twisted iron and huge
piles Of brick and mortar.
Death and Disaster.
On miles Of streets the front walls
OF ruined buildings still stand, sway
ing with the conclusions of distant
dynamite explosions and the rising
winds. Frequently a crash Of stone
and brick, followed by cloud of dust,
gave warning to pedestrians Of the
unSa fatv Of travel
All manners of reports Of death and
disaster are coming to the temporary
headquarters of the authorities, but
they are received with dut allowance
for the excitement Of the occasion.
Fleeing by Thousands.
Thousands upon thousands of peo-
pie are fleeing from the fire. They
are flocking to the ferries, to the
parks, to the military reservation
and to the suburbs Residents OF the
hillsides in the central portion OF the
city seemingly were safe from the
roaring furnace that was consuming
the business section. They watched
the towering mounds of flames and

east side Of Van Ness avenue have
proved fruitless. The fire has spread
across the broad thoroughfare, and
from present indications the entire
western addition, which contains the
homes Of San Francisco's millionaires
and people Of the wealthier class, is
now doomed. The destruction of the
Western addition Of the city practical
ly completes the work of the ravaging
flames and marks the devastation OF
the entire city.
Relief Work Begun.
But San Francisco Is not discour-
aged. It's best and highest citizens
have already begun to plan restora-
ton and to care for the stricken ones,
and the relief will be immediate and
effective. Total subscriptions of $780,
coo were announced and arrange
ments made for the immediate succor
of the needy The baking of $4,000
loaves of bread daily will begin to-
day. Free transportation will be pro-
vided by the Southern Pacific to desti-
tute persons desiring to go to interior
points.

The flames were kept confined to the

afternoon, when the wind carried

Of the city.
Sisters, brothers, wives and sweet
hearts searched eagerly for some miss

hurriedly went through the building,
inspecting the cots on which the suf
ferers lay in the hope that they would
find some loved one that was missing.
