Mrs Annie Whitaker. aged % years,

home on Shotwell street. in the Mis-.
son district. when the shock came.
The chimney, which had been left in a
tottering condition by the quake of
last week. crashed through the roof
ON the woman and fractured her skull.
Her body was taken to the morgue at
Portsmouth square and buried an hour
later at Laurel Hill cemetery.
The shock was also felt in Oakland
and Berkeley. but in these places II
was very slight and of brief duration.
Conditions are improving was the
happy expression from those who have
charge of caring for their less fortu-
nate fellow -townsmen during the last
few days.
In fact. now that the most import
ant duty hereafter will be performed
by the United States army, that of dis
tributing the food and supplies, which

AS to Old Square Pianos.

They are not manufactured any more,

the retail establishments are compelled

Is precisely the case. No retail house real
~ wants them, but the people who have
purchased these instruments in tho past
believe the squares to be worth some
thing, and when they appear on the mar
ket for a nodern;,type piano, they insist
upon being allowed at least a little for the
old instrument. When we. get them in It
Is the hardest matter in the world to try
and dispose of them.

IN the papers about those parties or tho
results OF their efforts to bring out-of-

these circumstances would suggest a
plan OF my own and that Is. those GENTLE
men who really have the interest or
Richmond at heart should suggest that
every man who has any spare capital
to invest should place it right here with
the many local industries Instead of en-
deayoring to double 1t in some gold mine
in the West or South America. or else
where. which in ninety cases out OF one

, which VIII not only locate here, but
which VIII be right under their personal
supervision to see that the money Is ex-
pended in the right direction
The natural advantages OF Richmond
are sufficient to attract outside capital

local enterprise more than they do II
