THE CLIFF HOUSE
BUT LITTLE HURT
FAMOUS HOSTELRY SUFFERS
DAMAGE BY EARTHQUAKE
NOT TO EXCEED $500.
Escape of House Is one of the Curious
Features of Disaoter-Sutro Baths,
With Thousands of Feet of Glass
Roofing, Also Escapes-Marriages
Follow Calamity.

San Francisco, Cal, April 24.-Com-
paratively little damage was done in
the vicinity of the cliff. The Cliff
house not only stands, but the damage
sustained from the earthquake shock
of this historic building will not ex-
coed $500, according to the statement
of Manager Wilkins. In fact, the es-
cape of the Cliff house is one of the
curious features of the disaster which
has befallen San Francisco.
Sutro Baths Unframed.
The famous Sutro baths, located
near the Cliff house, with its hundreds
of thousands of square feet of glass
roofing, also was practically unframed.
Only a few of the windows in the
Sutro baths and in the Cliff house
were broken n the lofty chimney of
the pumping plant of the former es-
adjustment was cracked only slightly.
Weddings Follow Ca amity.
Weddings in great numbers have re-
suited from the disaster. Women driv-
en- out of their homes and left desti-
tute have appealed to the men to whom
they were engaged and immediate
marriages have been effected. Yes

given him in a sensational action for
breach of promise. The many ridi-

District S. S. Convention

The District Sunday School conven-
ton was held at Walstad school house
April s, 1906.
The convention was called to order by
Pres. Mcclure and praise services were
conducted by Co. Pres, White. ''The
Value of the Story" by Geo. Osborn,
was very interesting talk, and showed
Mr.. Osborn to be master of his subject.
1t was certainly treat to listen to some
stories he told discipline in the Sun
day SCHOOL, was the title of a paper by
the county secretary, Jesse Shamberger
The lack Of discipline in the Sunday
School is one great drawback to it's sue
cess. The discussion brought out many
good thoughts. Mrs. D. D. White gave
very interesting talk on music in the
Sunday School. She emphasized the
avoidance of falling into ruts in our Sun
day School music. We should try some
thing new, thus giving new life to the
school. In order that we may increase
the attendance we must get the young
people interested. Get the parents to
attend Where there's will there's a
way. The subject was fully discussed.
At the business meeting the following
officers were elected: President, Geo.
Mcclure; Secretary, N. H. Taylor. A
collection amounting to S1.75 was taken.
Owing to the disagreeable weather the
attendance was NOT &c Ia roa nc uyos on
ticipated, but everyone went away feel
ing that they were amply repaid for
coming. N. H. TAYLOR, Sec'y.
