tatinS for city beautiful. He had raj

but his plans were abandoned by the
city authorities only two months ago
as beyond all reason in cost.
| Now, the twin disaster Of earthquake
, and fire has made possible the accom-

it had been admitted by every one
would transform San Francisco into
the most beautiful city in the world.
Work will begin at once in pushing
Burnham's ideas to complete develop
ment. and all the municipal officials
are enthusiastic over the outlook.
Mayor Schmitz expressed his delight
with the plan for the new San Fran
cisco.
"The whole city will be remodeled,"
said Mayor Schmitz. 1--WE will start
work right at the water front. Even
the ferry house. which survived the
fire, will be torn down and replaced

ment will be carried out exactly rs Mr..
Burnham has advocated for two years.
I'VE will have great boulevard and
terrace at Twin Peaks, and the several
new parks and other beauty spots con-
ceived by the architect now will be con-
structed. The changes will cost tens
Of millions. but the result will be that
San Francisco will stand as the most
beautiful, Of all cities. 1 predict that
there will be nothing to compare to the
new city in beauty and utility. We
were too cramped in our business
quarters. Now We are going to have
plenty Of elbow-room, and. besides, We
will have a city that will delight the
eye. All the old ugliness has gone for
ever.
"The new San Francisco will be bet
ter than the old, as was the case in
Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Galveston and
Baltimore, but on much larger scale.
Thirty days will see $4,000 men at
work in the burned district"

From early in the morning until

to do so while ladies were in the car.

negroes and few white men at CAN'T,
a small station, five miles from Green
Vile, on the Greenville and Columbia
branch of the Southern railway, Sun
day afternoon, blcodshed was narrow
ly avoided. The trouble was caused
by excessive drinking on the part OF
q score or two OF negroes who were
attending a singing meeting. Three OF
the ring leaders, who were arrested
soon after the trouble, were spirited
away to Greenville in order to escape
a lynching. A party of whites quickly
gathered on hearing OF the: trouble
and determined to mete out summary
punishment to those causing the dis
turbance.

which we quote:
The immediate cause of death was
peritonitis, caused by poison in the sys-
tenn that could not be cared for in the
heart nearly twice the normal size, evil
duration. 1t revealed conditions clearly
proving how hopeless the struggle"had
been against the encroachment of disease
hey ond the reach of human skill.
Our Charley was rich only in the
treasures of character; learned only in
the lessons of right living; great only in
that bigness of soul which shuns the
standards of malice, and envy and petty
selfshness His popularity was not
merely that of good fellowship. He was
a man of principle. While he was smooth
in his communication he was immovable
in conviction, and his friendship knew
no varableness. He had time for every
bodys trouble, and he found ways to
help so effective yet so unobtrusive and
so modest

home yesterday afternoon. 1t was per-
