ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE.
San Francisco Shaken Wednesday-on
Life Lost and Some Property Destroy

ed-Plans for New City.
San Francisco felt another earthquake
shock Wednesday, and one life was lost.
The property damage was slight, but
alarm was caused and a number of walls
of burned buildings, which had been
standing were thrown down and frail
buildings were somewhat shaken. The
shock occurred at 3.15 p. m, and lasted
nearly a minute. 1t was also felt at Oak
land and Berkeley, but in those places it
was very slight and of brief duration.
Mrs. Annie Whitaker, Is. was at work in
the kitchen of her home on Shotwell
street, in the Mission district of San
Francisco, when the shock came The
chimney, which had been left in a totter-
ing condition by the heavy quake of last
Wednesday crashed through the roof and
fractured her skull.
That San Francisco is to be rebuilt on
better and more beautiful lines is indi-
Gated by the fact that James d. Phelan,
| chairman of the Improvement association
OF San Francisco, has telegraphed Archi-
tect Daniel v. Burnham and his assistant,
Mr.. Bennett, of Chicago, asking them to
go Immediately to San Francisco to take
up the work planned two years ago.
Burnham and Bennett are the originators
Of plans to beautify San Francisco and

| final steps until II has a conference with

Tom managed to obtain some school
ing. When he could not attend the
public schools his father and mother
tutored him. He cared little for lam
guages and literary studies, but shone
in mathematics, finishing the entire
mathematical course up to calculus.
In January, 1869, when nearly IF
teen, the boy obtained a job in roll
ing mill. AS an evidence Of the pow
gaining that situation is pathetically
illustrative. 1t was his mother who
solicited the place, and. having nothing
to wear upon her head but knit hood.
the relic of more aftiuent times, she
waited for cold day, on which she
could don this and venture forth in
search of employment for her son.
Started Reform Early In Life.
The boy did not stay long in the roll
ing mill. b. Du Pont of the famous
Delaware Du Points was then running
little horse car street railway in
Louisville. and on this young johnson
was given minor place. His duty
was to take the nickels from the con-
ductorless cars and transfer them -
the safe. 1t is told of him that he
found this done in slipshod manner
and started reform right there 1t is
also said that he picked up the old
scrap iron about the place ana lput ii
into barrel for future use These
stories may be pipe dreams. but Ger
tain it is that Tom L., did something.
as is his wont, to gain the confidence
Of his employer. and as result he
was rapidly advanced until he was
secretary of the company. When his
father became chief of police of Louis

not yet of age.
1t was at about this time that he Ia

Sailors on Strike.

That English soldiers or sailors

such as we are accustomed to in trades
sounds impossible, but such things
have occurred. the last time being in
April, 1897, when the sailors demanded
higher wages and literally struck, 9th

are aimed at the destruction of mo-

The Municipal Model.
After an exhaustive study covering
practically the entire country Lincoln
Steffens in McClure's Magazine de-
clared Tom L. Johnson 1.-THE best may
or of the best governed city in the
United States." Yet Steffens is not
usually regarded as a panegyrist, but,
on the contrary, has been dubbed
''muck raker' and "knocker." Nor
does he ride the johnson hobbyhorses.
does not grow frenzied over the ''un
earned Increment and has never
shown any particular interest in the
taxation of privilege rather than of in
dustry. 1t was not because of these
things that he found such superlative
goodness in the Cleveland mayor. The
Steffens bug" is civic virtue, and he
must have discovered that insect in
Tom LIS vicinity else he would hard
~ have put up the rolly poly figure of
johnson as the municipal model.
1t is evident that the city Of Cleve-
land approved Mr.. Steffens' verdict, for
Notwithstanding the fact that it is
usually Republican it gave Mayor

in each of his first two races and over
$4,000 in his third.

self. 1t likewise STANDS for him and he
for It, He was christened that way.
He belongs to the kentucky Johnsons,
who can boast of one vice president of
the United States besides congress
men, generals, colonies and Judges
galore. The Johnsons are related to
nearly every Kentucky family of prom
inence and to some in other southern
states. They have been in the country
nearly 200 years, quite long enough to
make good Americans of them. Tom
Loftin johnson got his second name
from his mothers people, who also be-
longed to the quality" 1t is an item
worthy of note that Johnson's father
was n pupil of James G. Blaine in a
Kentucky military academy, and at
the same time his mother was stu
dent under Harriet Stanwood, who
afterward became Mrs. Blaine.
First Appearance as a Monopolist.
Before the war the elder johnson
had u winter home in Arkansas, where
he owned hundred slaves. When the
conflict came on he enlisted Oh the
Confederate side, became a colonel
and served as staff officer for Generals
Breckenridge and Early. At the close
of the conflict the family found them
selves stranded in Staunton. Va, with
out penny. 1t was right here that
Tom first showed up as monopolist.
Obtaining a "stand i'm with the con
ductor of the only train that ran into
Staunton, Tom, then aged eleven, got
exclusive control of the daily paper
business. He at once put UP prices to
10 cents for each paper and % cents
for picture papers. In five months he
had cleaned up nearly $50, with which
he took the family back to Louisville.
Though the Johnsons remained in
the direst poverty for several years,
