NOT SMITH; IRBYSMITH.
Clerk in War Department JudIciaIIy
Given New Name.

Plain Smith has been good enough for
many folks for centuries past. They
have multiplied. and their progeny covers
the earth. They have stormed and car
ried of the honors in every city directory
where United States is spoken. They
have performed great deeds on sea and
land. The name has gone down in his
tory immOrtaIized beyond peradventure OF
doubt or reflection.
Plain Smith has been given artistic in

would have appealed 10 the most unsenti-
mental judge, that it was a herculean
task to single out his name in the direc-
tory.
This statement he supplanted with the
assertion that he was not the only Smith
in the directory.
The then MI Smith complained TO the
court that the letters constituting his in

without end With kilograms. and that his
mail got everlastingly mixed up with the

decided once for all to get rid Of the
trouble and build an addition to his name.
Then the idea was conceived Of the at
tractive, exclusive name. "Irbysmith"
Another point In the then MT. Smiths
argument to have his name changed was
that plain Smith did not identify anybody
or anything. He desired 10 have a dis

are homeless and many are huddled in

such household goods as they were
able to save.
The city is under martial law, and

The dense smoke that arose from the
entire business district spread out like
an immense funnel and could be seen
for miles out at sea. Occasionally, as
some drug house or place stored with
chemicals was reached, most fantastic
effects were produced by the colored
flames and smoke which rolled out
against the darker background.
All efforts to prevent the fire reach
ing the Palace and Grand hotels were
unsuccessful. and both were complete
ly destroyed, together with contents.
All of San Franciscos best play
houses are a mass OF ruins. The
earthquake demolished them for all
practical purposes and fire completed
the work of demolition. The Rialto
and Casserly buildings burned to the
ground as was every thing else in that
district.

of Science, the Jennie Flood building
and the History building were kindled
and burned like so much finder. Sparks
were carried across the street and ig-
nited the Phelan building and the
army headquarters of the department
of California were burned. Still near
ing the bay, the fire took the RialtO
building, a handsome skyscraper, and
converted scores of solid business
blocks into smOuldering piles of brick.
The banks and commercial houses,
supposed, to be fireproof. burned quick
