The pitiful sacI

The pitiful sacrifice of life in the army quar-
tiers Of San Francisco is due not so much TO the
governments failure 10 provide less combustible
quarters Frame buildings are more sought for
homes out there than buildings OF more durable
materials. Their popularity Is grounded on the
belief Of greater safety In event of a severe
earthquake. That belief has existed for years
and is rooted in past experience. Despite proof
to the contrary. it maintains a strong hold on
the people of San Francisco.

Spectators and the Money Market.


In some respects conditions in Wall street
today resemble the situation OF eight years ago.
when the price Of money was sent so high that
the clearing house banks. to prevent a panic,
suspended currency payments and issued GER
tficates to tide over the business of the country
until the affairs became settled. The discount
ing of foreign money was not unexpected being
a natural outcome OF the disturbance of trade
incident to the war. but the present fluctuations
indicate the presence OF an active speculative
element. and It's influence on the market is not
wholly encouraging for the healthy progress OF
business, This activity is not confined to Wall
street, but is also noticeable in London and
Paris, where American money has risen to a
considerable premium, showing that the specu-
lators there are taking advantage OF the great
demand for American exchange generated by
the wartime traffic. Danger for all turks be-
hind this manipulation OF the market and while
II continues the full measure Of legitimate bust
ness cannot be transacted. The actual domestic
commerce of the country is not at present endan-
gered, but the export business Is seriously leo
pardized By the gambling in foreign exchange.

Last week the Rambler mentioned the
Jaqueln. Rambler mansion on jamestown
Island. That house was built about 17l0
by Edward Jaquelin. and on his death, IN
1879. 1t passed to Richard Amber, who
married Miss Jaquelin. During the Amer
lean revolut on 1t was burned. and was
John Amber. Johns brother. Edward
Amber. succeeded to the ownership. and
tn s Edward married Mary Cary. daugh--
ter of Wilson Miles Cary of Elizabeth

1t was this Mary Cary with whom
George Washington was in love. and II
was her sister who married George
William Fairfax and lived at Belvoir,
two miles below Mount Vernon. Ed
wards widow succeeded to the prop
erty, and the estate then passed to her
SON John, who was born in 1852 and

After the passing of Jamestown the
island was the estate of two families.
the Amblers and the Travi es. The
Travis family goes far back as Q
Jamestown family. In 1881 the Amblers
and Travises sold jamestown island to
David Bullock of Richmond. In 1886
1T was the property of Col. Goodrich
Durfey. In 1916 1t was bought by
John Coke, and in 1S4S it was in pos
session of Martha Allen Orrain. daugh-
ter of Col. William Allen c ermont on the
James. Her son, William Allen Organ,
who took the name William Allen, in

has previously written. The Amber
house was burned for the second time in
1862, while Union troops were operating
in the country between the James and
