San Francisco, April 23.—
The new San Francisco that
will rise from the asbes of tbe
| old was to-day in its first stages
of rebuilding. After five days
of confusion and almost super
human efiort on pert of citizens
of California’s metropolis, tbe
great task of sheltering, feeding
and otherwise caring for the
homeless thousands, complete
order has been established and
attention turned to the futnre.
Throughout tbe great busi
ness quarter where the devasta
tion by fire was the most com
plete, dangerous walls ware
razed, buildings that had not
been disintegrated bv fire were
inspected with a view of re
occupancy and ground was
cleared for the immediate con
struction of buildings in which
to resume business al tbe ear
nest possible time.
financial assurance given.
Confidence has been restored
by the insurance companies, the
measures taken by the financial
institutions, the prompt and re
assuring words that have
reached the business men of
San Frsncisco from Eastern
financial centers—all these
things dispelled tbe feeling of
uncertainly.
The general encouraging sit
nation temporarily suffered a
set-back early to-day because of
a chilling rain which fell in
the late bonra of last night and
during the forenoon on tbe
thousands protected only by
eanvaas coverings and even less
impervious shclterings. While
the rain caused considerable
suffering for tbe time bciog,
conditions were quickly amelior
ated by the prompt action of
every relief committer, as well
as by the voluntary acts of
households.
HEL1PP WORK 8V8TKMIZED.
Homeless people were fed to
day in a systematic manner.
From tbe water front where the
boat loads of provisions docked
there was an endless procession
of carta and drays carrying
food to the scores of sub-sta
tions established throughout tbe
city and parka. At these sta
lions food and drink, compris
ing bread, prepared meals and
canoed goods, milk and a
limited amout of hot coffee, and
V%" ”"•»» wwaw JVVI iw KU
those who applied. About
1,500 tons of provisions srs
moved daily from the water
front.
Large supplies of blankets,
tenting* and other material, to
provide covering for tboae who
have been acantily supplied,
are reaching the supply sta
tions rapidly. Barracks have
been completed at several points
and in these many people have
found comfort and shelter
against the inclemencies of the
weather. The situation in the
congested camps, such as Gold
en Gate Park and the various
public squares throughout the
city, has been considerably re
lieved by the departure of many
INople for point* on the other
side of the bey. While the
nnmber of people leaving the
city is nothing Hke the vast
crowds that packed the ferry
boats daring the first two days
following the earthquake, the
nnmber was sufficiently large to
satisfy ths relief committee
that its task will become less
difficult from day to day.
NO KPIDKMIC Of AKV KIND.
General health conditions are
satisfactory. While the number
of ceses at the various hospitals
has increased each day, sickness
is mostly due to exposure and
worry. The most encouraging
feature Is the absence of any
*Wng {Ike contagion or an
epidemic of disease of any na

HOW TO WILH A PI IE.'

T» (he Kdilor ot lh« fluttwi
Cbcmville, April 24 —This
article is prompted by reading a
fine spun article in Charity and
Children of April 19. by Arachel.
! too wan taught to build
fires by first placing a large
log and buildiug the fire In
front of it and, I suppose,
bad I not been favored
with a wiser instructor tban
Bob (ibe old Mack man) of
whom I whom took my first
lessons ip fire building, 1 would
have remained as ignorant In
that branch of lore aa is Arachel.
In those days wood was
plentiful. It didn’t cost $9.00
per cord and we had nigger
staves to cut and haul U. But
now, it is a matter of economy
to know how to build a fire.
An old proverb is that "We
never get too old to learn."
My second lesson in fire build*
ing was not given by a negro
mm viavft mm me OI ipiaef,
but by • learned white man who
for years held the position of
Judge of tbe Superior Court of
North Carolina.
Here is the lesson; try it and
be convinced: To build a quick
fire and one from which you will
gel tbe greatest amount of
warmth: First, stir np the glow
ing coals from tbe aabes. Sec
ond, remove the ashes from the
center of the fireplace to the
corners. Third place the live
coals near the back of tbe fire
place midway from either corner.
Fourth, place your kindling on
the coals. (If yon have no
coals kindle tbe fire at tbe place
indicated.) Fifth, place your
largest stick io front. Doo’t use
very large wood at all when it
can be avoided. Sixth, place
your smallest, and dry wood if
you have it, directly over the
fire, being carefnl to give space
for the flames. Seventh, to keep
a regular temperatnre in tbe
room, don’t let your fire get too
low before renewing, being care
ful to keep the burning wood
pushed back and place tbe fresh
wood always in front.
tty observing these rules yon
wilt find your room will be kept
more comfortable sod that a
great saving of wood will be ef
fected.
Tbe philosophy is, when the
hack of tbe fire place is kept hot.
it gives out tbe heat into the
room whereas, if a back-log is
yu, iuc UWK IS BUI BUUCU
aod consequently the room fails
to get the benefit of the beat,
the latter being carried up the
chimney lor a lack of a reflector.
