She explains that Dedge was shot dead by her side, but that he carried some insurance in the East, which ought to be sent to his lit- tle boy.

SATURDA Pupils Have Excellent Lessons in Art of Composition. Send Lette;of Thanks to Cities That Are Giving Aid. Pursuant to the suggestion of Pro- fessor Gayley, head of the English De- partment of the University of Califor- nia, the school children of this city are zaining practice In composition by writing letters to the school children of the United States asking for assist- ance in the reconstruction of San Fran- cisco’s school system. The School Re- construction Bureau, installed in the Emerson School, is now sending arti- cles to the press of the country. These tell in detail the movement to rebuild this city’s schools. Teachers have pre- pared articles to be published in the educational journals, and pupils are assisting in the work of ‘issuing eir- culars. Some of the younger school children are writing letters of thanks to be sent to school children and municipalities which are aiding San Francisco by raising funds for the erection of school bufldings. In reply to letters from the school children of San Antonio, Texas, the children of Golden Gate Park bave written letters of thanks. Copies of two letters so written follow: GOLDEN GATE PARK, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. June 6, 1906. My Dear Friends: Our principal, Mr. Armstrong, read to us vour loving lit- tle letters, 'showing your sympathy and extreme "kindness toward us.

Little friends, did yougever hear of Golden Gate Park, that &hormous gar- den right in the heart of our stricken city? Well, it is here that we go to school. We do not have regular schools large tents ' with benches in them. Our books weye Lur ed up in the fire, so the Board »f Edu- cation supplies us with them, aiso.

Although it is now June, it rains as though it were December or January. For food we go to a relief restaur ant, also here in the park, 'where meals are served three times daily.

GOLDEN GATE PARK,« SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 6, 1906. My Dear, Friend, Albert Hays: We received your kind letter last Friday. On April 18 we had a pretty good lhaklng up. The earthquake came about 5:15 a. m., and at 7 a. m. the sky was covered with smoke. It was 10 p. m. when my house took fire. The soldiers made us move away at 9 p. m. So we went to one of the clt?v arks. The next day we climbed a high hill, where we watched the flames devour our beautiful San Francisco. When the fire was about two blocks away from the hill we had to go back to the g:;)t( because we could not stand the My father thought that the fire was golng to make a circle and hem us in, so_we moved to Golden Gate Park. We are going to school in a tent. Our school yard is the whole park. It is Ereen the vear round. We have a blackboard about four and a half by three and a half feet. We have no desks but plenty of benches, and we have jolly good times out here in the sunshine. "It will seem funny to get back to a school room again. I think you must be tired now reading this, 0 will close by thanking ‘all the San Antonio pupils for their money for our schools. From your friend ADOLPH E. HINTERMANN. Superintendent T. P, Story of King County. Washington, in which is lo- cated Seattle, has sent a communica- tion stating that as soon as the schools open after their spring vacation, he will ask assistance from the pupils for the raising of funds with which to help rebuild’ San Francisco's schools. s e GOOD TEMPLARS APPROVE THE CLOSING OF SALOONS Adopt Resolutions at District Lodge in Redwood Showing the Appre- clation They Feel.

Every police officer of this city will be required to take an enforced vaca- tion as the result of the recent ca- tastrophe. * Chief of Police Dinan has already notified a number of patrolmen that they will have to take the next three months off, and many have already been requested to make applications for -a thrée months' leave of absence without pay. : In the communications sent out by the captains giving notice of the three months’ vacation, beginning with July 1, without pay, it is stated that every member of the department will be subject to the same rule at different periods. This action was taken as the result of the exceptionally heavy cut made in. the Police Department allowance when the Board of Supervisors adopt- ed the budget for the coming year. Though the Board of Police Commis- sioners believe that every member of the department is needed more now than ever it was compelled to take such steps to come within the appro- priation. Just how many members of the de- partment will be given a vacation at the same time Dinan has not an- nounced, but he will do everything possible to have the city patrolled in the best manner possible with the number of men left, and he will let as few men off at the same time as possible.
