WEEK AFTER
DISASTER

UNBRoKEN COURAGE
Will Build Larger than Ever Plans
for Reconstruction Being
Drawn Work under
\ Way.

San Francisco, April 25.-It is a
week today since this city was
visited by an earthquake which
laid low the metropolis Of the Paci-
fic coast and started a conhagration
unequaled IL the history of this
country. Although the ruddy glow
of thedying embers of the FIRE fiend
which devastated San Francisco,
made homeless 800, 900 peop.e.
caused the loss of many lives and
left black trail of utter desolation
and ruin in its wake, still nightly
illuminates the sky the work of
restoration is already well under
way, showing spirit unbroken, a
courage undaunted and a deter
mination seldom equaled and which
has never been surpassed.
Plans for the construction of the
new buildings to replace those de-
stroyed by earthquake and flames
are rapidly being drawn and work
ed on, some them will begin as
soon as the ruins of the old site
are cold. Many Of the new build
ings planned are OH a larger scale
than those licked up by. the flames.
giving promise that from the ashes
will rise a new San Francisco,
greater and more beautiful than
the old.
Within the past week the people
of this city have gone through the
entire gamut of distress, misery and
suffering indescribable, and in the
face of disaster and calamity OF
such magnitude, with proverty,
privation and utter ruin staring
them in the face, they have main
tanned Spartan courage and an
unconquerable spirit. At no time
has there been any panic, disorder
or crime.
In addition to the large force OF
men and teams already at work
about fifty teams of government
mules were put to work yesterday
hauling away debris. Several more
streets were cleared away for traffic
The relief work is now thorough
ly organized aud rapidly becoming
systematzied. Many carloads O
provisions and supplies are being
received daily. Five cars were re
ceived from southern California, a.
mong other things 5000 blankets

BEvERIDCE
AROUSED
OVER SOME STATEMENTS ATTRI-
BUTED TO HIM. HE SAYS HE
DIDN'T SAY 1T
A BATCH OF STATEHOOD DOPE
Prospects that Compromise will
be reached before Adjournment

Washington, April 25.-Senator
Beveridge resents statements that
he told the members of the house
of representatives there would
probably be no statehood report
from the conferees during this ses-
sion and that the whole matter
would go over until next congress.
He also denounces as incorrect and
untrue the intimation that there
has been undue delay and no
earnest effort on the part OF the
conferees to reach an agreement.
He explains that the conferees have
had lengthy and frequent meet
ings, and in fact, have been to-
gether and tried to straighten out
other intricacies of the legislation
as quickly as possible. He says
the work has been as earnest and as
continuous as the discharge of other
important legislative duties by the
members of the conference commit
tee will permit. He also said today
that he was under no special pledge
to Senator Foraker in connection
with the statehood bill.
The publication has stirred up
members of the Missouri and other
Middle West delegations, and they
have been making inquiries as to
the attitude Of Senator Beveridge
and the pro spects for legislation,
Theyhave an implied promise from
the speaker of the house of repres-
entative thatu there will be
statehood for Oklahoma and In
dian Territory, and the suggestion

them.
Whatever Mr.. Beveridge may say
for publication, anyone who 1nder-
stands the statehood situation and
the circumstances under which Mr..
Beveridge was appointed one Of
the conferees, knows that he is
peculiarly bound to stand against
receding and accepting the house
propositions. as long as Senator
Foraker and other leading senators
who were instrumental in knock
ing out the provisions of the bill
for New Mexico and Arizona want
it to stand.
Beveridge fought for the state
hood as it passed the house. of rep
resentatives, and was in favor Of
making two states out of the four
territories. He carried his fight
onto the floor of the senate. and
had his committee solidly behind
him in the effort. Senator Foraker,
leading powerful combination of
other senator's, defeated Beveridge
and his committee, and knocked
out all references in the bill to
to New Mexico and Arizona. When
it came time to appoint conferees,
Senator Foraker indicated in open
senate that he believed conferees
should be appointed who were in
sympathy with the vote of the SEN
ate.I was recognized that Beveridg
was not, and this was an open not
ification from Foraker that he
would oppose Beveridge's select
ton. The matter went over for
one day, when Senator Foraker
rose and withdrew all objections to
Beveridge's appointment. It is

Hablt-forming Medicines

Whatever may be the fact as to many
Of the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published IN some journals Of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been Of great interest In arousing needed
attention to this subject. It has, In q
considerable measure, resulted In the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected Of containing the Injurious ingre-
dents complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, stook time by the forelock," !" as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed o1
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents. their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots Of
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths Of our American forests and Of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead Of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as In obstinate
cases OF diseases, DcCOmch u1Bu1y ODl6t~

ploys chemically pure, triple-reined

"On some Of the long ascents
horses towed French and German
wheelmen up. A rope thirty or forty
feet long would be attached to the
horses traces, and to this rope half
dozen tourists would fasten their ma

As to Breathing.

Everything on, in and under the
earth breathes-animals, minerals,
vegetables. etc. The tides are caused
by the breathing Of the earth itself.
This old globe must take two long
breaths day, each inspiration requir-
ing six hours, and each expiration the
same period Of time The willy Japa-
nese got their notions Of deep breath
ing from the tides. l merely assert
that. because 1t seems reasonable. No
one else ever dreamed of mentioning
such a fool thing! II Mother Earth

ability bust" and blow up. When
she breathes too hard. as If in a panic
or because Of some geological excite
ment, she cracks the ground, and we
have the earthquake. Her ordinary
respiratory movement merely expands

What is an innocent little cigarette
smoked in restaurant compared
with such a display as this?
Perhaps the most curious revela-
tions Of all are to be found on the
question of womens drinking. It is
often said that the reason women are
accused of drinking more than they
used or ought to, is that they do not
hesitate now to drink in restaurants
and hotel dining rooms, thing which
they would formerly have shrunk
from. This sounds so reasonable that
a peep into an old book of etiquette
is quite shock.
Not so very old, either, for It was
written in 1853 by the redoubtable
Miss Leslie of Godey's Book fame.
Our extract is from the rules for be-
havior at hotel or boarding house
table, and begins with the startling
statement that 1T was formerly con-
sidered i'll manners to refuse to take
wine with gentlemen"
1t goes on to say that Now that
the fortunate increase OF temperance
has induced SO many to abjure en-
