SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Hidden in
among the hills of Westchester County,
not far from Briar Cliff Manor in a
pleasant country home dedicated to
restfuin ess and calm, Chauncey M. De-
pew lies stricken, the canker of grief
eating out his mind. his heart broken,
his nerves utterly shattered
In the feeble old man summing him
self lazily in the broad veranda OF
the house of lotus eaters. few would
recognize the imposing figure whose
eloquent counsel, both in convention
hall and committee room, more than
once made or unmade legislators and
politicians and gave shape and direc-
ton to platforms and national politics.
The embodiment of all that was jovial
and kindly and good humored, the man
whose life seemed to be so we'll at
tuned to all that was pleasant and
wholesome in the everyday routine OF
existence has entered the dismal road
of doubt, detection and despair.
The doctors who diagnosed his case
set it down as one of nervous pros
tration. an all-embracing term which
covers Ills too complex for pathologi-
cal classification. They advised rest
and absolute quiet and the stopping Of
all the senses and forgetfulness so
deem that the noises of the busy world
and the wagging OF tongues should
not infringe even in the slightest man
ner on the consciousness of their pa
tient.
They bundled off the sick man, now
as docile as child. to the very heart
of the wooded stiffness, on top of a
green hill, sun kissed and sweet
scented, and left him there in the care
of trained nurses. In the sanitarium
nearby he sits gloomily, watching the
sunset and remembering other days.

sailors, but missed. The wound was

buildings with dynamite. All day long explo-
sions have shaken the city and added to the
terror Of the inhabitants. Following the first
shock, there was another within five minutes,
bur not nearly so severe. Three hours later
there was another slight shock.
FIRE FOLLOWS EARTHQUAKE
Scarcely had the earth ceased 70 shake when
fires broke out simultaneously in many places.
The Fire Department promptly responded TO
the first calls for aid, but it was found that the
water mains had been rendered useless by the
underground movement Famed by a light
breeze. the flames quickly spread, and soon
many blocks were seen TO be doomed. Then
dynamite was resorted 10. and the sound of fre-
quept explosions added to the terror of the
people. All efforts TO stay the progress of the
fire, however, proved futile. The south side of
Market street, from 9th street to the bay, was
soon ablaze, the fire covering belt two blocks
wide On this, the main thoroughfare, are many
of the finest edifices in the city including the
Grant Parrott, Flood, Call Examiner and
Monadnock buildings, the Palace and Grand
hotels and many wholesale houses. At the same
time the commercial establishments and banks
north of Market street were burning. The burn
ing district in this section Of the city extended
from Sansome street to the waterfront and
from Market street TO Broadway. Fires also
broke out in the Mission, and the entire city
seemed 10 be in flames.
The tail steel frame structures stood the strain
better than brick buildings few Of them being
badly damaged. The big eleven story Monad-
mock office building in course Of construction,
adjoining the Palace Hotel, was an exception,
however, its rear wall collapsing and many
cracks being made across its front Some of

warning at 513 o'clock this morning, its mo-
ton apparently being from east TO west At

in Il few seconds it increased in intensity.
Chlmneys began TO fall and buildings to crack
and totter on their foundations. The people
became pancstricken and rushed into the
streets. I.ost of them in their night clothes.
They were met by showers of falling buildings,
bricks cornices and walls Many were in
stantly crushed to DEATH while others were
dreadfulIy mangled Those who remained in-
doors generally escaped with their lives. though
scores were hit by detached plaster, pictures
and articles thrown to the floor by the shock
1t is believed that more or less loss was sus-
taned by nearly every family in the city.
The loss of life seems to have been largely
confined to the poorer districts and manufact-
urlng territory For the benefit of Eastern
people who have friends visiting San Francisco,
/ it is safe to say that they have not been in

The dense smoke that arose from the entire
business district spread out like an immense
funnel, and could have been seen miles out at
sea. Occasionally as some drug house or place
stored with chemicals was reached most fan
tastic effects were produced by the colored
flames and smoke which rolled out against the
darker background.
The city is under martial law, and all the
downtown streets are patrolled by cavalry and
infantry. Details of troops are also guarding
the banks Most of the principal buildings have
already been destroyed and others are in immi

Where \ large number Of sheep are
handled and Il fixed device is desired,
Il chute and drain floor may be con-
st.ucted rs shown in Fig. =, out OF

The most effective dips contain sui
phur, lime, tobacco or arsenic in some
proportions. These may be mixed IN a
manner to be quite harmful, n pre-
caution must always he taken to have
the solutions fresh and not too strong.
The Colorado dip is made up OF 33
pounds flowers of sulphur, IL pounds
unslaked lime, and 100 gallons OF wa
ter.
A very effective dip used and tested
by the bureau of animal industry is
made Of "a pounds of flowers of sui
phur, eight pounds unslaked lime and
100 gallons of water. This is made by
mixing the sulphur and lime to a paste,
and then boiling for three hours in %
gallons of water, stirring 1t rapidly.
Let this stand over night and drain off
the clear liquid. to which add the
rest of the 100 gallons of warm water
before dipping.
The combined tobacco and sulphur
dip is made by sleeping 10 pounds Of
tobacco leaves in warm water for one
day; then boil a few moments and let
stand over night. Strain of the liquid
and add 10 it as many pounds of sui
phur as tobacco used. Add the sui
phur just before dipping. Dilu,e the
whole mixture TO 100 gallons.
More trouble is saved by using the
prepared dips now on the market,
many OF which are very effective.
They should be mixed carefully ac-
cording 10 directions and never too
strong. Dip the sheep thoroughly,
putting them entirely under the liquid
for a few seconds. Then allow them
to drain thoroughly, as several pints
of liquid will be held by the wool as
they walk out OF the tank. The loss
in this way will be less according as
the sheep are dipped Immediately
after shearing.

METHOD OF DIPPING SHEEP
Pps;. r. a. Craig Describes Conve-
nient Arrangements for the
Small Farmer.

Dipping the entire animal in n s0lu-
/ on, which will kill the insects and
s:event disease Is both simple and eff
iective. Very simple appliances will
serve where only Il few animals are
to be treated. A box or tank for the
dip and a few feet of drain board are
all that is really necessary. More
complete arrangements serve to reduce
the labor where larger numbers of
sheep are handled.
The advantages of a metal dipping
tank are So marked that no mention
need be made Of any others. They
are cheaper in the long run than any
homemade tank. For a drain board
an ordinary wagon bed will serve
