tbe night with the Norton family.
After breakfast the next morning be

again at tbe breakfast table, and felt
that be bad a duty to perform.
When she at last entered the library

Ban Francisco correspondence :
With a consciousness of a duty well
performed In rehabilitating her de
stroyed conxnercliil section San Fran
cisco has celebrated the first anniver
sary of her cataclysm. One year ago
saw the most awful experience that
ever befell an Auierlcnti city, when
earthquake and fire wrought their hor
rible ruin. To-day public utilities are
again In operation adequate to the needs
of the city; nearly two-thirds of the
area of four square miles which at sun
set April 20, 10O0, was a scene of
blackened brick heaps and twisted met
al framework has been rebuilt and new
structures sre still going up at n rapid
rate. Hence It was appropriate that
the principal commercial body of the
city should assemble nt the banquet
table at the Falrmouut Hotel tbe other
evening, with governors and mayors
of other States and cities as their
guests, and celebrate the recovery with
Joyous speech and song. How different
the scene from the windows of the
Fairmount Hotel ubout one year ago
aud now.
Two thousand six hundred acres of
buildings, a large part in the very
heart of tbe busluess section, bad been
swept away. Five hundred and four
teen city blocks bad become a mass of
smoking ruins. Nothing was left of
the wholesale and retail districts ex
cept that here and there big ateel
frame buildings stood, scorched but
firm, among the piles of bricks. Nesr
ly 00 miles of streets were Impassable,
blocked by fallen walls, twisted wires
and Iron trolley poles. Pavements and
sidewalks were ruined by the Intense
heat. Two hundred thousand people
were homeless. Food supplies were
done, clothing, was gone. beddUig . was
gone. For nearly half tbe jwople
nothing was left but bare bands and

worth millions became paupers in
those three days. In the days that fol
lowed 250,000 people left tbe city and
practically all that remained were
compelled to lire on tbe bounty of a
generous nation.
The Recovery. ,
In spite of tbe Incubus of a corrupt
municipal administration, tbe City of
the Golden Gate Is rapidly reassuring
shape. Great blocks of - brick, con
crete and stone are springing up In
what a few short months ago waa a
desolate waste, among which stood
thousands of ruined walls, marking
tlte sites of once proud business struc
tures. Fifty thousand men are busy
rebuilding 4he city, and when the
work Is done and tbe last deep scar
left by the hurrlcnne of fire Is re
moved, San Francisco will be a greater.
richer and better city than ever be
fore. Tbe buildings that are going up
In nearly every case are better than
those the fire swept away. The old
city was constructed of wood, even In
a great part of tho business section.
In all the down towu districts now
fireproof materials must be used In
building .
With feverish energy the work Is
progressing. Ou many' structures two
shifts working eight hours both are
employed, and from 8 lu the morning
until midnight the sound of hammer
and saw aud the steady grind of con
crete mixers cau be beard. Within a
radius of five blocks from the corner
of Kearny and Market streets there
are lu process of construction or re
habilitation 140 fireproof buildings.
Retweeu June 1, 1900, and April 1,
1007, iier.ults were Issued for the erec
tion of 841 fireproof aud send-fireproof
buildings. Already the steep slopes
of Telegraph and Kusslair bills are
covered thickly with wooden resi
dences, while the downtown streets
are lined with business structures.
Conservative est i mutes show that
more than $l00,000,0t0 has been
spent lu reconstruction siuce the Are.
This amount would hove been greatly
Increased but for tbe difficulty of get
ting building materials. The railway
blockade which caused trouble through
out the country was felt with triple
forne lu Sau Francisco. The complete
reconstruction of manufacturing plants
os well as the vast stores of goods and
building materials kept Iu stock here
left the rebuilding of the city at the
mercy of the trauiortulon companies.
About 50,000 uieii have beeu em
ployed In reconstruction work and the
number Is steadily growing. These
ineu have received au average of $3.50
a day each, which brings the total
paid to labor alone nearly to the $ki.-
000,000 mark. The remark a bio wages
secured by skilled mechanics have
served xo Increase euorinously the
cost of reconstruction, but they have
drawn tollers from all parts of the
country and so hastened the progress
of reconstruction, it Is estimated that
at least .MUHHl,oiO has been spent lu
tulldlpg materials.

Last March 30, the entire? family,
consisting of Frunk Mette, bis. wife,
daughter and three sons, Was stricken
after eating fruit cake mode by Mrs.
Mette. Mrs. Mette died. It looked sus
picious to the attending physician, and
the jwllce were colled In. Arsenic was
found In the flour. The only other wom
an In the household, the daughter, Mr
Mary Sladek, whose husband had Just
left her after a quarrel, and who was
said to have twice attempted suicide
recently, was closely questioned, but
nothing developed.
Two weeks after the first illness and
after all the survivors had recovered,
one of them, the father, was again tak
en 111 and died the next day. On the
day following Mary Slfldek became III
and was taken to the hospital, when the
police again questioned her repeatedly
without developing a clew. This time
poison was found In the flour bin. And
two days after that, with the father
dead and sister In the hospital, the
boys. Joseph, Rudolph and Charles,
were again poisoned by eating oatmeal
In which poison had been placed. The
persistence of the iolsoner made the
police frantic and terrorized the Mette
family.

The ashes of anthracite coal burn as

A Christian Science Decision.
A novel and interesting decision wat
recently handed down by the Supreme
Court of the State of Texas. The case
was that of a lady who had sued the
Fort Worth nnd Denver City Railway
Company for damages on account of
physical and mental suffering in being ex
pelled from one of the defendant's passen
ger trains. The lady in question was a
member of the Christian Science cult,
and the attorney for the defendant en
deavored to establish this fact during the
trial, explaining that the plaintiff would
uot take medicine, and that it was her
belief that she suffered only when she
mougnt Hie suffered, and it was only a
question with, her whether she suffered or
did not, and that as a Christian Scientist
sue uvea in a spiritual plane above men
tal and physical sufferings ! thnt It- m
an article of her faith that there was no
such thing as mental or physical suffer
ing. and that she did not nctnnllv i,f
