revelled many a night. The wagon
was stocked with champagnes and
other fine liquors. He was trying to

The load never got further. Mon
and women surged around it. and
snatched out bottles and soon the
stimulants were flowing down parch-

Then messengers were sent TO all

TENDERLOIN'S FARE
WELL TO THE OLD

A Thrilling Story of How Women OF
Vice Faced the Mad Flames

SIM Francisco, CaI.,-May 24.-
Goodbye, old Frisco. You gave me
many pleasant evening, and I'm
sorry to see you so. But We have all
got to go. SO here looking at you.
Health to you'll"
While the heavens glowed red
from the burning OF san Francisco
on the morning OF April Is, and the
earth shook and cinders and smoke
filled the air, and brave men feared
lest the end of the earth had come
two hundred half-intoXicated men
and women OF the night fled from
the dens OF the tenderloin and gath
cred on the broad sweep OF steps
at the United States mint, drunk to
the health OF the doomed city.
With the first appearance of the
flames in that section where the red
light CLEANED and the sound oil early
morning carousal broke the peace OF
the night the sirens who filled the
numerous lodging houses in the vi
cinity began TO gather in the street.
Some carried jewel boxes, some bird
cages, some spring hats that had just
come from the milliners. Nearly
everyone, with that feminine variety
which probably grows greater in-
stead of lesser with vice, was pa inted
and dressed in her gaudiest fuery.
They had had plenty oil time to go
back TO their rooms after the quake
and don fine raiment, and even the
terror that was creeping over them
as the flames drew nearer couh not

sTch admiration "a. tney might
Out in the streets the terrorized
women gazed up at flame and build
ings. not knowing but that another
quake would send brick and stone to
hurl the death the fire could not
bring them. They ran about on Ma
son. Powell and Eddy streets, clutch
ing at those they knew and asking
affrighted questions. They knew of
no refuge. Where were their friend
OF whom they could ask shelter IN
the unburned district?
Why they did SO, no one could say,
but some of these women wandered
down fifth street to the mint. They
halted and sat on the magnificent
broad stairways that gave ample
resting ground. Others came Dis
solute males who had gained their
living from the fallen women follow
ed doggedly. Word got out that the
tenderloin was gathering on the mint
steps. From Mason and Ellis and
other streets the exodus to the gov
eminent building became general.
The steps soon became crowded and
late-comers sat on the sidewalk or
paced up and down in the street. II
looked as II great crowd had gath
cred at an amphitheater for band
concert.
