Under data of April 19, the day following- the episode that has -wrought Its Indelible mark upon one of the fair est portions of. California, Mrs. Carrie Stevens-Walter, of San Jose, a prom inent literary woman of California, writing- to her brother in this city, frives a vivid description of the horri fying situation. In her letter she "says: "April 18, 190G, -will pass into history as the most calamitous that ever dawned upon Central California. At ft. 15 A. M., as nearly as we can fix the time, an earthquake came, tne like of which we never before experienced. "I was awake at the time, when sud denly our house began a series of shakings and contortions that were dreadful. Everything loose fell with a crash; the chimneys came down with a crunching roar, while the noise and confusion of all were beyond descrip tion. Fire Bells Are Rung. "After what seemed an liour, but could not have been more than a min ute or ho, the motion subsided, al though It continued at intervals during the day. In a few moments the fire bells began ringing; then, after half an hour or so, the call for the National Guard was sounded. "When we went up town the sight was something terrible. Many were dead, and many more Injured. Houses, collapsed and fallen In a heap, were rommon. The postoflice top was thrown into the street. This building is of atone, and was considered very solid. The High School was down, St. Pat ride's Church a mass of brick and de bris, St. Joseph's badly damaged. Everywhere was destruction and ap palling dls:i3ter. Every house In town and vicinity was Injured more or less fully 93 per cent badly so. Queen City la In Ruins. "Soon came dreadful rumors from San Francisco, which was shut off en tirety frcm outside communication. From all we can learn today the once fair Queen City of California is a mass of smoking ruins, its hills and depres sions a stretch of desolation. The num ber of dead reported is llmost beyond belief. We are yet without telephone, telegraph or mall service, railroad communication, or, in fact, any means of learning the truth of this, the most awful calamity that ever befell Call-, fornla. "Yesterday we were all day on a ner vous strain during the recurring vibra tions. When night settled down, it was upon a sorrowful scene. Fire added its horrors to us as to San Francisco, only in a much less degree. A great black pall of smoke from that poor city drifted over us. as if calling to us for the aid we were powerless to give it. Oh! the uncertainty and sadness of that night! At intervals we could distinctly hear the sound of bombs and artillery in San Francisco, de molishing giant buildings in an effort to stop the awful flames. Then our own fire bells would ring:, and all the time hung over us the dread of another earth quake. X:ncertalnty of It All. "We can never forget the gloom of that time. Any other visitation of calamity that could be measured, or gauged, or in any way estimated or counted upon, would not have been so horrible as this unknown demon whose fiendish clutch had shaken hope, prosperity and life Itself out of us; with its whimsical, uncertain, uncounted-upon impulses. To lose one's faith in things; to be at sea in a storm of uncertainty and doubt these and a thousand other unrests are what an earthquake brings you to. "In San Jose all business Is suspended, all stores closed, and the business part of town patrolled by the militia. This is a disaster that will require years for us to recover from, and tne suspicion of us be ing carthquaky will never leave the minds of people beyond our borders. "The disaster wag widespread, so far as wo can gather, extending as far south as San L.uis Obispo, and as far north as Sacramento, including. In fact the en t're extent of Central California. I will try to get you a small paper sent out by the Mercury yesterday. For two days we have had no newspapers from either San Jose or San Francisco. Last night fully half the .people of this city slept in tents, cltherbecause their houses were unsafe or because they feared as othr earthquake." NOVEL CHAFING-DISH PARTY The Girls Cook Things Good to Eat While Men Progress as Assistants. An original young woman, who longed for some novel form of entertainment for br friends planned a cooking party, which Is described in Harper's Bazar. It was really an elaboration of the chafing dish party. Several chafing dishes were used, and also both the gas and coal ranges In the kitchen. Twelve young peoplo were invltod. and the girls were asked to bring white aprons. When all had arrived a card was given to each. The cards measured 4x5 Inches, tied with ribbons. Each card had a tiny picture at the tip. Below was written the name of some article to be cooked for Instance, "Sandwiches in kitchen." There was nothing more on the young men's cards. The girls' cards had. In ad dition, the recipe for whatever was writ ten above with other directions. Each girl found at the placo Indicated all the materials ready for her work. One of the young men was chosen by the hostess to attend and assist each cook. After an interval of 15 or 20 minutes a gong was struck, and each attendant left his place and offered his sen-ices to an other cook, so that during the time of preparation each girl had & chance to compare the helpfulness and Inspiration of the several attendants. Later In the evening, about 9:30, the co quettish little aprons were laid aside. The cards were matched by the ribbons and pictures. This arranged the supper part ners. The supper consisted chiefly of the results of the evening's work, with one or two extras which required a longer time for preparation. The hostess made coffee at the table. The meal, as might be expected, wap a merry one. with the frank comments and euggeetlons of both cooks and attendants. 4 tfee gnefta went away, each was given The wool was grown in Oregon, woven by the Oregon City Woolen Mills and made up to your measure in our shops by well-paid Ore gon workmen.

FIRST CASE OF LYNCH LAW Hanging of a Murderer by His Heels In the West of Ireland. New Tork Times. So many different versions and explana tions of tho term lynch law have at var ious times been given and occasionally are even yet added to that It seems fitting to recount the tragic Incident which has since given a name to so many calamitous occurrences not only in our land but on occasion also in that of others. The very name of "Lynch" gives the direct clew to the land of its origin Ireland. And when we recall the fact that during the latter part of the seven teenth and the early part of the eigh teenth century there was comparatively a large immigration from the north of Ire land and the south of Scotland, coming as settlers to the Carollnas, from which much of this material spread westward Intb Kentucky and Tennessee, and, realiz ing the tenacity with which these peoples husband, nourish and perpetuate their folklore and traditions. It needs only to relate the Incident which Thackeray In his "Irish Sketch Book" graphically recounts to show how natural it was to apply the memories and such a term to the indi vidual exercise of Justice and punishment. Thackeray, In the book referred to and in chapter 1, of which treats of Galway, thus "peaks of an occurrence within its precincts which in ISC and probably does to this day tore the grewsome "memento" ?o grimly described In the wordrt following: "Then there is Lombard street, other wise called Dcadman's lane, with a raw bead and cro sa bones and a memento moii over the door where the dreadful tragody of the Lynches was acted In 1498. If Gal Tray is the Rome of Connaught James Lynch Fltxstephen. the mayor, may be considered as the Lucius Junius Brutus thereof. Lynch had a son who went to Spain as master of one of hte father's ships and being of a wild, extravagant turn, there contracted debts, drew bills and alarmed his father's correspon dent, who sent a clerk and nephew of his own back in young Lynch's ship to Galway to settle, accounts. On the fifteenth day young Lynch threw the Spaniard overboard. Coming back to his own country, he reformed his life a little and was on the point of mar rying one of the Blakes, Burkes or Bodkins or others, when a seaman who "had sailed, with him. being on the point of death, confessed the mur der in which he had been a partici pator. "Hereon the father, who "eras chief magistrate of the town, tried his son and sentenced him to death, and when the clan Lynch rose In a body to res cue the young man and divert such a disgrace from the family, it 1 said that Fitxstephen Lynch hanged the culprit with his own hands.

This question was brought forward by the writing master of the elder Dumas: "Remember, Alexander." the master said to bias, "the great defeat of the Emperor was due only to his scrawling hand.
