One man had been shot for charg ing seveniy-live cents for a loaf of bread. On Market street lay a corpse over wlneti there was a sign which read. "Caught Stealing." The residence of John B. Spreckles, the sugar king, was situated on an Ness Avenue, and was one of the most cost I v and luxurious palaces in Cahfonia. When the soldiers were given orders to demolish it with dynamite, Mr. Spreckles went on his knees on the sidewalk and hedged them not to do so. The night of the earthquake hun dreds of horses in the stables throughout the city became unusual ly nervous. They pawed, kicked, neighed, and exhibited other signs of restlessness in their stalls. They seemed to want to break out and run away. I am told on the best authority that several hundred people went in sane the dav of the shock, while scores of people who had been vic tims of insanity for vears suddenly regained their minds. Tt is estimated that nearly 1.,'Him people, have left the city. A letter from a California woman states: "The cries of horror, the shouts of firemen, the commands of the generals, the mar of falling walls, and the thunder of exploding dynamite will die in my ears, but I will always hear the rattle of the trunks over the cobbles as the poor people dragged their earthly belong ings to places of safety." Bavid Starr Jordan, president of i the Inland Mant"Pl. Jr.. I niversi j t , after making a careful examina j t ion of the area atfected by the earth quake, states positively that the mountains known as the Merra M rena Range. sliped northward from three to i feet. The backbone of the eninsi;!a of Sati Francisco is part "f this Mime range. I illowi the rmie.- oi rats invaded the unharmed districts. There seemed t be minions on mil lions of them. The llair.es drove the rodents out of the business section, and. following the example of the people, thev tied in the direction where safety was promised. Natur ally they were hungry, and dev ouied a large ipiantity of food that was un guarded.' In that section of San Francisco known as the Mission, an.: amid the general wreck and ruin, stand un harmed the Mis.-in Dolores, the an cient church built centuries ago by the Spani.-h La Ires. It is typically Spanish, and the oldest building in San Francisco. Of all the build ings within the zone of the disaster it apparently" stood the shock the lxst. It stands as tirm as the day it was built. At St. Mary's Cathedral oeeured a notable act of spiritual and physical heroism. Tremors were running through the building and' outside, and bits of mortar were falling, when two brave priests made their way to the top of the tower in spite of the continued rocking of the building, and their, clinging to the cross which surmounted it, steadied the sacred emblem and prevented it from falling to the pavement. I. Y. Hellman, one of the richest men in the state, was forced by soldiers to unearth a buried oven so that bread might be baked for the refugees. The first leaf was given to Mr. Hellman as a souvenir. In many cases the disaster exemplified socialism on a remarkable scale. The rich and poor were brought to a common level as never .before in the history of the world. It showed what people can do in a brotherly wav when necessity demands. I The night following the earth ! quake, when the people were sleep i ing in the parks and other open-air . places, hundreds found shelter in the massive mausoleums and beside the I humble headpieces that mark the I r i i r :i i i . graves in i,aurei rim iemeier. Those who slept in the tombs beside the caskets containing the dead, ex perienced a rare form of rest. One man on being asked where he had slept the preceding night, was heard to answer. "Oh, I found a nice, soft j grave ! How about you i The William Collier Company was in San Francisco on the day of the earthquake preparatory to sailing for Australia. A numlier of the male members ot the company were rounded up and put to work by sol diers to assist in clearing Market street of bricks and debris. Mr. Collier himself had three hours of hard labor with a pick. John Barrv- more, a brother of KthH Barrymore, i at the bavonet's point , was made to dig trenches for the same kmgth of time, having as a companion the sec retary of State of California. The loss of the burned district which includes principally the lead ing business section, is estimated at over ?;)t)i),iMi,(HH). It will take over $.'5ir),(HH),iM)0 to settle the insurance claims. Approximately twenty-five square miles of buildings were burn ed, this space being equivalent to over six hundred business blocks. : The disaster left no freak accident ! as is of ten noted in the case of light- i nini; and cvclones. The earth simply ! rose and fell in an undulating motion that opened great caverns in many parts ot the citv and twisted the car tracks in all kinds of inconceivable shapes. When a girl says ally means "don't - "don't sh quit. goner THE WEST'S LOSS AND THE SOUTH'S GAIN. l'mn sm i' I'arir.cr. The trite old adage about theill wind finds a new illustration in the case of the exposures of rottenness in the packing house and canned meat business. "Uncle Jo" has al ready pointed out that they have re sulted in an increased demand for poultry, but even more marked is likely to be the increased demand for Southern hams and home-made meat products generally. In the July mag azine now before us, we do not find the familiar Swift and Armour ads, but we do find a conspicuous an nouncement from a New York firm beginning this wav : "To People Who, Object to Stock Yard Products: We make a specialty of hams and bacon cured in Vir ginia," etc. People who have reau the stories of packing house filth or the story of how potted ham (?) is made are nat urally ready to pay a higher price for home-prepared meats. It is an industry in which there is no danger of overproduction; the shameful fact is that at this time we are not even supplying the local trade, statistics showing that North Carolina alone in l'.M) imported STS0,nU worth of hams and otlter meats from the West and North. We ought to see all these facts for ourselves without having foreigners rebuke us for our neglect of so great an opportunity right at our door, but it may help to drive the facts home to consider what the Wrashington Post has to say about the meat scan dals, and the South's relation to them : "It seems in order to say, however, that at least Southern towns, cities and communities have no right to complain. If at any time they have suffered, either in their stomachs or their pockets, lieeause of the high price or the unwholesome character of the Chicago meat products, they' have only themselves to blame There has never leen the smallest reason why they should not feed themselves from their own herds, flocks, fields, dairies and barn yards. The South is rich in farming and; grazing lands, and the inhabitants thereof can raise lieef cattle, sheep, h,gs. poultry and vegetables of the very finest quality if they choose. Why need they go to Chicago, Kansas City. Omaha, or any other distant market for food which they can pro duce themselves ? And if they per sist in a policy so unnecessary and so improvident, they might have the grace to realize that it is their own fault and refrain from condemna tion of others. The pastures of the South can turn out as good leef and mutton as the stockyards of Chicago can. outnern tarms are capable of furnishing as high-class butter, milk, eggs, etc.. as any farms in Iowa or Kansas. Why, then, do not the Southern people help themselves instead of calling upon Hercules to help them and filling the air with complaint and imprecation when he fails to answer to their satisfaction" "(Ye do not pretend to pronounce upon the truth, or lack of truth, in these nauseous denunciations of the packing houses. We are quite sure, however, that the Southern people would be in much better business to set about the task of caring for themselves. It is not at all necessary for them to be dependent on import ed food of any kind. When they be wail the hardships indicted on them by the Western trusts, they remind us of nothing so much as of the Texas ranch owner, thirty years ago, enouncing the quality of the con- lensed milk he got from Minnesota."

Mr. Ernest Moore, who lives on the Providence road, southeast of the city, owns a herd of Go cows. His is one of the leading dairies of the county and his cows are well bred. Dr. Adam Fisher, the city meat and milk inspector, has been at work on the Moore herd for some time, test ing for tuberculosis. Yesterday, af ter a most painstaking investigation, he condemned I5J of the lfi and put two others on the shelf to await fur ther developments. This came like a crack of thunder out of a clear sky to Mr. Moore and it will cripple him for days to come. It virtually means that this young man, who has just begun business for himself, will lose 3S or 4D of what he considered among his lest cows. The average layman cannot detect signs of tuberculosis in a cow and that is why it took a special test to discover the real con dition of this apparently fine bunch of dairy cattle. Mr. Moore has been selling what he deemed the finest of milk to his customers. It is not be lieved now that any harm has been none out mere would have come a time that his milk would have been dangerous. When the abscesses on the lungs faii down trouble comes to those who use the milk. The publishing of this story wiH hurt Mr. Moore for a while but he, his brother. Walter Moore, and his father's Mr. C. C. Moore, wish to have the facts states so that the pub lic may know the real situation. Mr. Moore's herd .has been so reduced that it will Ije a week or more before he can select and buy enough cows to be able to supply his regular cus tomers. However, he is going toco operate with Dr. Fisher and help to get rid of the last tubercular germ in his her b He will buy new and healthy cows as rapidly as he can and regain his trade. Since May Mr. Moore has purchas ed a number of cows and added them to his herd. In ene instance he bought seven from one man and six of those were among the lot con demned. Walter Moon? came in with Dr. Fisher yesterday afternoon and made a plain bold statement of facts to an Observer man. In talking of the situation at Mr. Moore s dairy Dr. Fisher said: "It is almost impossible for an ordinary man, without special training, to tell whether a cow has tuberculosis or not. Tests have to be made." "What, Dr. Fisher, will be done with these cows?" was aked. "1 do not know exactly but it is certain that no more of their milk will be sold in Charlotte. Some of them will be killed and destroyed." Hardly a day passes that some in teresting revelation is not made by Dr. Fisher. The Charlotte iieople are watching his work with eager in terest. Bishop Morrison Decides to Leave New Orleans. Bishop H. C. Morrison, of the Methodist Church, South, who has resided in New Orleans since li!.'?. has decided to leave New Orleans and make his future home in Pirm- ingham. Bishop Morrison gives his desire for harmony as his reason for leaving New Orleans, saying that he does not care to live there any longer, and. while his work has been a success in many ways, he has met with much opposition. He therefore believes i he can work to better advantage and I lw liannior in liirminn-him il-iirH ' outside of Nashville, is the strongest Methodist city in the South. The Bishop expressed himself as having no unkind feelings for any one there. He had come to New Orleans to overcome the stagnation which had fallen on Methodism, and he believed he had accomplished this purpose, he declared. How to Propose. 1 uYutta Pioneer. A Hindu father recently received the following letter asking for the hand of his daughter : "Dear Sir: It is with a nattering penmanship that I write to have communication with you about the prospective condition of your dam sel offspring. For some remote time to past, a secret passion has been firing my bosom internally with lov ing for your daughter. I have nav igated every channel in the magni tude of my extensive jurisdiction to cruelly smother the growing love knot that is being constructed in my within side, but the humid lamp of affection still nourishes my love-sickened heart. Hoping that you will concordantly corroborate in espous ing your female progeny to my ten der bosom and thereby acquire me into your family circle. Your duti ful son-in-law." A young man went to a preacher to get married, and the preacher ask ed "How old are you, John ?" Ib replied , "I am half as old as my father. He is two years older than my mother. My eldest sister is two year older than my youngest sister. My youngest sister is four older than my youngest orotner. now oiu are thev altogether?" asked the preacher. The young man replied i that the five children are seventeen years older than his father and moth er. How old is John and each of the children and his father and mother? Exchange. Well, if the young man isn't married until the preacher gets his age figured out, Methuselah would be a kid compared to him. NATIONAL RIP-SAW RIPPERS. N il ioiial Kip S:iv. The devil never finds fault with a hypocrite. Worthless dogs generally have doc ile natures. If you want to run a long ways don't start too fast. "Cunning" mav make monev.but it don't make friends. "Prayers" don't cut much ice un less you back them bv "deeds." Most men are "humorists" when it comes to making love. The popularity that money buys is a kind that the devil admires. There has "never been a dollar coined that would purchase happi ness. You can't die happy unless vou have made some one happy during your life. "DoH faced" girls are generally about as useless as the things they look like. Lots-of us make great mistakes in measuring our greatness by our own yard stick. If it was as easy to get out of debt as it was to get in, we wouldn't need credit. The boy who lielieves his "Dad" knows more than he does is likely to make a useful man. Its funnyhow "sour" some peo ple are at home and how "sweet" they are away from home. When the people of this country get to doing their own thinking, they'll quit voting the millionaire's ticket. If heaven is what the Rip-Saw thinks it is, we know a 'ot of people that would feel a sight more at home in hell. The felrow who is always want ing to do something "great" is gen erallv too darned lazv to do anything at all. If only the girls who want to marry were permitted to learn who to cook, what a lot of "good cooks" this county would have. If we'd all think more about "iiving right" and not so much about "living right" we'd not be scared out of shirts every time we got sick. Why is it that there's so many more men who sleep in church than wom en ? 'Cause they don't pay so much attention to what their neighbors wear.
