vention This Week.
What to do with the large sums OF
money that has been contributed to the
relief of San Francisco's homeless peo-
pie was the question that is receiving
careful consideration by all those now
engaged in relief work.
While the complete details OF dis
bursting and accounting for the I'M
mense sum of money already contrib
uted have not been formulated, they
have been thoroughly discussed in
committee and may be briefly stated
as follows:
"All expenditures will be authorized
by the finance committee of the citi-
zens and Red Cross funds. The mem
bers of this committee are bankers,
business men and jurists Of San Fran
cisco and DR.. Devine of the National
Red Cross society. This committee
will audit all accounts and make a de-
tailed report to the war department
where a final audit and statement will
be made"
Many Tots Lost to Parents.
Governor Chamberlain Of Oregon
sent the following telegram from
Salem to Governor Pardee MANY
children and some babies are coming
through here unidentified and unac-
companied by anyone, cared for only
by strangers. Can they not be gath
cred together at Oakland and kept to-
gether for subsequent identification?
AS it is, they will be forever lost to
their parents"
Empress Gift Declined.
The Empress Dowager of China Of
fered personal subscription Of $751;
900 to American Minister Rockhill at
Pekin for the relief of the San Fran-
cisco sufferers, which Mr.. Rockhill
was instructed by the state de-
partment to decline with an express
sion of the appreciation of this gov
ernment.
1t is probable that this money will
be sent direct to Chinese representa-:
tives In San Francisco for the use OF
the homeless Chinese.
Canada's 100000 Still Available.
1t was announced in the Ottawa
house of parliament that the Cana
dian government had been officially
informed that the 100000 voted for
the relief of San Francisco earthquake
and fire sufferers had been declined by
the United States government. The
appropriation, however, will be passed
so that the money will be available
should there be any change of senti-
ment in regard to accepting the
money.
Another Shock at San Francisco.
At 3:15 o'clock Wednesday after
noon another shock of earthquake was
felt at San Francisco. 1t lasted nearly
a minute and caused considerable
alarm.
A number of walls of burned build
ings which were standing were thrown
down and frail buildings were consid-
erably shaken up, but the damage
done was slight. 1t, however, caused
the death of Mrs. Annie Whitaker,
aged 25 years. Mrs. Whitaker was at
uorlf in tho lyitchap Of har hovna IN
Shotwell street in the Mission district
when the shock came.
The chimney which had been left
in tottering condition by the heavy
quake the week before crashed through
the roof and fractured her skull. Her
body was taken to the morgue at
Portsmouth square and buried an hour
later at Laurel Hill cemetery.

BABBAGE
FAMILY
REUNION.
Pleasant Gathering of Widely
Separated Branches of the
Family Some of the
Family History.
The Holley standard. New York. J

THE Holley Standard, New York.
A reunion of the Babbsge family
was held at the residence of Ricnard
BaDbage, Sunday, August 26.
The historical event of this occasion
was the fact that this was the first
time the families of the two brothers,
John and James Babbage, of Ash
relgney, Devonshire, England have
met together since aDout 1900.
RicnaId BabDage, the well-known
resident of Clarendon, came to this
country from Devonshire, England,
In the yesl 1850. There were four bro
theIs, Richard, of Clarendon Simon,
and John, OF Rochester, n. Y, and
William. who went to HicksvIlle, Ohio,
bur Kept mis- whereabouts, however,
a secret from his brothers.
About five years ago, and after the
brothers mad been separated from the
borther William 65 years, a daughter
in-law, Mrs John w. Babbage, wrote
to England, and learning OF Mr.. Bah
bage of this place the family were thus
placed in communication. About this
time Z b. Babbage of LockpoTt, but
formerly of Clarendon, commenced
writing a history and making family
tIee of the Babbages, and up to this
time has been successful in locati ng
relatives in Kentucky, Ohfo, Wyoming,
Alaska, Canada, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania, England and
Australia, the ancestry dating back to
I475. At that time the name was
written Bavidge, but in 1925 was
changed to Babbage. 1t appears the
Babbages were among the oldest Dew
onshire families, and the name APP
pears on the peal of bells in the church
at Ashreigney, Devonshire, Eng. They
also have a crest which has been Sc.
cured and was displayed at the re-
union.
The day was most enioyably spent,
! Mr.. and Mrs John Kldnie acting as
host and hostess. a sumptuous repast
was served on the lawn, and stories were
told OF the expert ences of the present
Rand past generations Richard William
Babbage, lately of South Motion,
DevonshiIe, Eng gave a pleasing
description of the home of the Bah
bages, known as Woodrow Farm, at
Ashreigney, Devonshire, Eng. This
