ever so nearly destined as tnis and outsde of the earthquake the fire is probably the greatest in American history 300000 Homeless in Parks The city has a population of more than 400000 people Not

these emergencies and the sergeant had in his charge one precious bottle of whisky from which he doled out drinks to those who were utterly exhausted Over in a corner of the plaza a band men and women were praying and one fanatic driven crazy by horror was crying out at the top of his voice The Lord sent it the Lord His hysterical crying got on the nerves of the soldiers and bade fair to start a panic among the women and children so that the sergeant went over and stopped it by force Soldiers Feed Refugees All night they huddled together ln this plaza with the flre making it bright as day on all sides and in the morning the soldiers using their sense again commandeered a supply of bread from a bakery sent out another water squad and fed the refugees with a semblance of breakfast There was one woman In the crowd who had been separated from her husband in a rush of the smoke and did not know wWther he was living or dead The women attended to her all night and in the morning the soldiers passed her through the lines on her search A few Chinese made their way Into the crowd They were trembling pitifully scared and willing to stop wherever the soldiers placed them This is only a glimpse of the horrible night in the parks and open places We learn here that many of the well to do people in the upper residence district have gathered in the strangers from the highways and byways and given them shelter and comfort for the night in their living rooms and drawing rooms Shelter seems to have come more easily than food Not an ounce of supplies of course has come of the flre warning people out of the houses But the flames ran too fast and two women were caught in the upper story of an old frame house A young man tore a rail from a fence managed to scale It and reached the window He seized one woman nd managed to drop her onto the rail down which sh slid without hurtine herself a great deal But the roof fell while he was struggling with the other and they fell together in the flames There must have been hundreds of such heroisms and dozens pf such catastrophes We are so drunken and dulled by horror that we take such stories calmly now We are saturated More Thieves Shot Dead There is a darker side too At least four men have been shot for looting Tnere are no wharf rats in the world worse than those which infest the San This news was confirmed to day by the captain of a little schooner which shot the Gate without a tow and managed miraculously to make dockage ln Oakland Far out at sea he saw the city as a fluff of smoke which became a blinding haze as he crawled
