and conflagration wiped out half OF the
city and Inaae 100000 persons homeless

under the roofs OF frien;Is.
Last Sundays conditions were too
much disturbed to permit of rest for
the body or peace for the mind. Last
week saw the passing Of the acme of
grief and ,lesoIation and the dawn Of
order and rehabilitation. Stock was
taken OF the losses aud plans were con
ceisc,i for the future.
The loss of some 300 lives and the de-
yustatipn of almost four square miles
OF the best part Of San Francisco have
