GRAPHIC STORY
Description of Sen Fran-
. ¢lsco’s Barthquake Horror
The San Francisco earthquake
was one of the beartrending calami
ts that touched the sympathetic
feelings of the whole world as per~
began. But what must it have
been to an eye witness is a query
that no one can answer.
‘Sunday noon there arrived in
whose countenance bore the marks
of excessive nervous strain, and
whose gray hairs crowned a brow
of extreme mental exhaustion She
had (traveled continuously from
Monday, making the journey to
Sayre Saturday at midnight. This
is Mrs Josephine Brown Hughes,
a daughter of Dr. Jared D. Biown,
formerly of this county ,who went
bora in San Francisco and has
family are dead except one sister,
to come and spend the remainder
of her life with her.
Mrs. Hughes was boarding with
street, and was awakened on that
fateful morning, April 18, by the
on the floor. This was preceeded
by a dull, stifling atmosphere that
the house, rushed down to the
ground, where they stood and
watched the falling buildings for a
at intervals for forty eight seconds
They then returned to the house
“when at about 10 o'clock the officer
‘they must leave, She packed up a
few necessary articles of clothing
with about a dozen others,
00r woman in the company had
e tranks which she attempted
& CO.
of Broad St. aad Park Ave., Waverly.
started out for Golden Gate Park,
where the rescue camp was located
When Mrs. Hughes reached Sacra-
mento sticet she stopped at the
residence of a friend, but found
| them all gone, but she left her bag-
gage there and continued her jour-
ney to the cathedral near the camp
Here she found the grounds roped
| off and a large party of rescuers
| from the Sisters of Charity and the
| Sisters of the Sacred Heart at work
| caring for the sufferers. She joined
ia this work, going out far into the
streets and bringing in many who
were ovecome by the heat and ex-
| haustion and giving them shelter
|and rest and food.
| Inthe meantime General Funston
with his army had erected tents
and the Red Cross society had
provided temporary homes for the
people, and the work of caring for
200,000 famished and starving
persons was in full force. The
stately palaces on Nob hill and
the heights had now succumbed to
“|thc devouring element and the
San- | flames encircled the cathedral; and
as the wooden cross on the ste ple
to. k fire Mrs: Hughes saw Father
Philip O'Ryan climb to the dizzy
heights with a fire hose wound
around him and extinguished the
firc and the noble edifice was saved.
The people were brave and cour-
rageous and she saw men rushing
tears but manfully assisting those
in distress. Mrs. Hughes found
one woman Sg years old in a
night robe and having a slipper on
one foot anJ a dilapidated old shoe
on the other. She dressed the old
lady in comfortable clothes and
shoes and the gratitude manifested
was very pathetic One woman
had lost her baby and it was a full
day before it wis found.
Many persons who were in easy
circumstances have lost ev. rything
and are pow compelled to begin
life anew. Mrs. Hughes says she
seen men who were formerly
worth from thirty to forty thousand
dollars now glad to get work
cleaning mortar off bricks. Work-
men command good wages, and
some men who were lawyers, mer~
chants and clerks are now working
at the common laborer’s wages
When she started on her jour-
ney she hired a drayman to take
her trunk to the station and as he
uhloaded it she noticed that he
handled it bunglingly. Oa looking
him in the face she recognized him
as a young physician who was
formerly om duty at one of the
hospitals. He said he had to earn
a livelihood in some way and so he
had hired out as a deliveryman.
The people do not complain.
They say they have been unfor-
tunate, but they are still hopeful
and are determined to get on their
feet again, and so they are work-
ing at anything they can find to do
and trusting for better times.
One feature Mrs. Hughes men-
tions, that with this dire calamity
upon them their minds were turns
ed into spiritual channels. They
do not look upon it as a retribu-
tion butas a chastening and they
are holding three religtous services
every day, and the people of all
classes and conditions in life at-
tend them and manifest a devout
demeanor. One young Catholic
priest, Father William P. Sullivan
has been holding these meetings
at Camp Rescue and the people of
all denominations have flocked to
them and they have erected a kind
of tabernacle where they join to-
gether in the services,
Mrs. Hughes will remain at Mrs
Juniata Brown until thoroughly
rested when she will resume her
journey to Paris, and she will make
her future home with her sister,
Madame Camile Bourget.
