HcntlJts ave steadily occurred, piloted, hy men and women In all walks of life, but no more strenuous or worth" efforts can be recorded than those of roemt>er>i of the theatrical pro- fession, from the manager, down to his lowest paid employee. The heart of the actor ia Urge,, and though In many Instances Ma pocicetbook unfortunately ones not corre- upond, the strings of the latter; have been loosened, and the. many streams have, united In one great tlood. amounting to hundreds of thousands nf dollars.

We. Have expended some of this* money In the most, guarded way. P,very actor who applied to us and Informed us of his or her condition, has been helped In it manner Buret's ted by himself or herself. We secured tmrisportarfon for oyer 300 actors. We" have provided food, clothing, wardrobes* and money, just which they needed mow, nnd which Ihey thought woti d do' them the most good. There? still remains about .$1,0*10 In the* fund, and this will he handled with the same care that the sum Already expended was bandied, j'twbe Davis (Ma. Jos.

The American, vVesteort and Adams F.xpresn Companies have offered to call for nnd deliver packages io the wnre- hoiifrp free of charge. H D. Price returned to New York May 12, from the stricken city, nnd stated: "I re- mained In San Francisco for ten davs and filxed up the situation carefully and con- wryallvely before arriving at a decision. In common with other theatrical managers, I found myself put out of business. My per- gonal Investments were sponged out, but nil loft was of smalt consequence so long as my children were spared. Thrv were quite dirty nnd disreputable, hut well and happy. It was the happiest moment nf mv life when I re- ftored them to'thelr mother yesterday. My twelve-year-old son developed conspicuous q\to1ltlej as a hustler after the big shake, nnd was otlt at fl o'clock every mornlns selling ncwKpnperR until be lost his voice. Then he made nations. The experience will do him no nnrm In Isier years." 'The terrific magnitude anil far-reaching results of the Ran Francisco calamity cau- not he comprehended nt this distance. Sta- tistics, descriptions and even pictures fall to though I was prepared for anything, but when I re-entered the city and rode up Mnrket Street In an express wagon, I was stagsered by the awful ruin and desolation. As far as the eye can reach on either side are ashes, tottering walls, "smoking heaps of debris, and this all the way from the ferry house to- Van Ness Avenue. The entire business district wns swept away. F.very bank, office building, newspaper, hotel, the- atre and wholesale and retail hohse destroyed by earthquake and fire, not to mention scores of apartment and lodging houses and private residences. ■ "It Is vsi.lmn.tcd that the exodus of refugees has reduced Sun (.rnnclsco's population one- half, and of those remaining, fifty per cent. have boeu subsisting on the great, noble charity of the nation. Bat there ban come an end to the free supplies: already ihe Mnea are elowly drawn. San Francisco will rise again. Personally I. believe, that the old thoroughfares and business centres will' He closely adhered to, hut for a time the prin- cipal business street Ia Fillmore, formerly an Inconsequent. - ! I thoroughfare, running north and south through the residential sec- tion-spared from the flames. ■ "For the neu year or so San Francisco, In,a burnous serme, will resemble a rough mining camp. Some,of the greatest enter- prises will be housed In rude, board shacks, a Blpgle story..hlgln One, pf the. biggest de- - portment stores Is established in u private residence In Van Ness Avenue. "TJte great, trade wind* are.blowing away disease geruuv but. for some Weeks the sani- tary conditions will remain dangerous. No fires are yet allowed In the'houses, and no candles after a certain "Hour. Toilets and bathrooms are sealed up hy the. health authorities, pending restoration of the water service. Hvcry drop of drinking water haa to tie boiled. All meals must be cooked on stoves or In llttlo brfek ovens set up In the gutters. Thousands of people are sheltered in tents nnd Improvised shucks in -public wpiares and parks. "It will take months before the ruins enn he cleared awny lo permit extensive restora- tion. Meanwhile (here Is abundant work for the men who can chip bricks.or haul wreck- age, or dig* In'the ground. " But there M Idle- ness for the vast army of well to- do middle cIass folk, such as small shopkeepers, book- keepers, stenographers/ clerks and» profes- sional'men, thousands .of them having been hprnecl ont of home oMJusIncsfc or both. The people, hare shown marvelous cheerfulness and courage.

San Franciscans were the greatest thentregolng public In Ann'rica, The theatres will he better nnd'llnor than ever, hut that will take plenty of time. I have retained my interests on the coast.

By the middle of July they hope to have, a temporary stock house of wood and cement, With n single floor, seating about 1,000 persons. It will be'at Sutter and Stelner Streets. Personal- I- I believed It my duty to the members of my little family to bring them to.New York nod to establish some new business connec- tion for myself where I have worked longest nnd not best known. 1 have promised to re- turn to San Francisco when, business condi- tions are in n measure restored, but I doubt If that wifl be ainder a year at least." Copeland and Copeland, and Minnie War- dell write from Omaha, May 7: "We arrived In Omaha teu days ago, on the first refugee train from San Francisco, after the earth- quake. We were worklos at the Broadway Thojitre, and lost everything except what wo could snatch from nails la the dressing room and carry In our hands. After sleeping tbe first night In Washington Square, we suc- ceeded In getting over to Oakland. There we boarded with the T. M. A.'s, and slept at the Kilts' tent city until Saturday. April 20. There weretlve hundred people on the train, among them quite a few performers. Our tran«porlollon was furnished free, and we were treated roynlly en ronff?. We are laying off here, collecting wardrobe enough to work with, and will open at (be Fnmily Theatre, Sioux City, May 20." 1'iiwln I'. Conley and wife (Lonolle Starr) were among the refugees of the Han Fran- cisco disaster. They escaped uninjured, but lost everything except the clothing they wore. A henoni vaudeville performance for Nari- nge Daren was given night of May 1J1 at the Majestic Theatre, One-half of the receipts will he given In the San Francisco earth- quake sufferers, A notable benefit was given In tbe Hippo- drome Sunday evening, Mny lit, under the nnsplces of the Salvation Army. Commander F.vn Booth presided, and besides rounding out the organisation's twenty-sixth year here, added several thousand dollars to the San Francisco fund. Miss Booth lectured In costume. The Lambs gave a gambol Sunday night, May LI, and afterward held an auction sulo of scats for the ladles' nnnunl gambol, to be held at the Brnadwny Theatre next Friday, the proceeds nf which nre to so to assist in the re-estahllshment of ihe Bohemian Club of Kan Francisco, whose club house was burned, .and with which, iho Lambs Is adul- ated. The first seat brought fur.o. Joseph l). Redding told a story of the Bohemian Club which resulted In another two hundred and fifty dollar seat. David WnrHcld played "The Auctioneer," and was succeeded by Mor- ton W. Smith nnd Arnold Daly. The prices of seats was $2. but tbe bids run from $20 to CfiO.. with the result that approximately $7,000 was realized from the snip before the audience had ceased bidding.
