The { plays to which the public. have most liberally responded have been conspicu | ously good plays. Farce, melodrama, the society play, have cach had a fol- Jowing and in each class there have been failures as pronounged and as prompt as the successes, 'Peter Pan," *"T'he Lion and the Mouse" and "Man and Superman"--the success of these, show that the public has been educat- ed to appreciate plays of common sense and intellectuality. Playwrights, at least some of them, have discover- od, as in the case of Mr, Klein, who has written the greatest successes of } the two last seasons, that the warm blood 'of real drama is in the life about us; that the words "American drama" mean something more than the translation to the stage of a few local experiences and characters.

E, Connell, San Francisco : Dear Sister Hester,-- Yesterday, Er- nie and I returned ® from Portland, Ore., but het had to sail immediately for San Pedro] and just haa time to leave me at my sister's again, and then go back to the ship. 1 was glad to get home, althowgh San Francisco is a dismal place to come to now. However, the first terror has passed und left us all, 1 think wiser, and sad- der. About the carthquake, 1 should have written particulars before, hut could not collect my thourhts, nor compose my mind until now, but the trip away with Frnest has done me good after all, although 1 hated to leave here when there was so. much trouble. The carthquake happened at five a.m, Wednesday morning, April 18th. I was sound sleep, alone in our dear little flat, when the first shock came. First shake, accompanied by a rumbling, then a violent rocking back and forth so that the bed was acting as i it were a cradle, and 1 could not get out so rapid was the motion. Pictures, gas globes, dishes, ornaments, fell to the floor, chimneys crashed on - rogfs, windows broke, houses collapsed all over the city. One place in Valencia street, an hotel sank down into the stroet, the earth caved in underneath it, and the hotel went right down, 1 have since heen to the place apd saw the top of the roof below, 'what was the street level, After the first violent shock I ran to the door and called, but no answer-- everyone had rushed to the street ex- cept, my next door neighbor, who af terwards (hourht of, and screamed out of her window for me to co into her house. 1 threw pu jacket and skirt over my night-dress, and as 1 crossed the back porch, another shock came that nearly threw me down the back stairs, we were up four storeys high. From their front windows we had a fine view' of the central part of the city, and of the. principal buildines. In this short space of time, from the first shock till 1 pot into their place, say about. five minutes, or: so, the fires had broken out in a dozen places, that we could sce, and the flames were beginning to spread. The city hall stood like a huge skeleton, day- light just showing hetween the steel frame works, where solid brick walls had been: Then commenced the . fight for life and property, and the flight of the inhabitants. The water mains had broken, and no water could be got on the fires. For three days and nights they raged, and our city is now in ashes and ruins, laid low, the worst spectacle that could be seen, The burnt district covers seven square miles. Tho first conds, shock lasted twenty se followed by another of ten seconds. and all day long, and during the night and since then, while I was away, even for the two weeks, shooks have occurred, slight ones, which they say always happens 'when there has been a great carthynake, "It left wreck and ruin, homeless ones, death and destruction and terror. At night the were in darkness--what § was left of them--no gas, no electri rity, no light allowed, even if it could be procured. At first a scarcity of water, but now, thank God, there is water enough. The scenes hy day and night were awful, of people fleeing to the hills, to the parks, and the Pre sidio, where the army headquarters are, some with what they could carry on their backs, others with scarcely anv clothing on them; wen, women, children, rich and poor alike, away from the flames and the roaring of them. The dynamiting of the build ings to keep the fires from. spreading ounded like a city being bombarded by 'heavy cannons, all added to the terror and confusion. At night the scene was one of terrifing splendour, The fires raged and travelled like huge snakes winding in and out, and carry ing all in their path. houses I think I told you that after the fist few shocks 1 'walked out to my sister's, of how they were al] safe there, and how we gathered in, twen tv-two, under her roof. Two of mv brothers and one married sister wer burned out, one brother saved just what he could pack on his back. My sister, Mrs. Scott, saved jnst her bed ding. Another brother, wife and two children lost everything, could not get waggons to carry anything. The city was put under martial law, and as the fires travelled the soldiers had to drive the people on before then, as they blew up | block after block with dynamite. Such wealth, such destruc tion, such an experience ! No one dept night or day during the first of the excitement. All walked the streets that were safe or sat on the side walke, while the fires raged. At night we sat on the front steps. One night, when wo thought the flames would reach ug, we slept or rather rested on the hills, and watched the terrifying spectacle from afar, and the light brightened the night as if it were day. Martial law is still over the city, and will be so for some time, Everyone cooks on the streets, not a chimney safe, except a couple of bakeries, especially repaired for the thi " purpose. Thousands are still camped out in the park and Presidio, Lights are now permitted at night, and a few electric lights are again to he seen on the streets. A couple of electric cars are running. Everyone has been so generous, Our sister city end states, and Canadian Vancouver did nobly, but everything is needed, Think of a city of 500,000 inhabitants and supplies and clothing burnt up, nothing left, some people have not a change of clothing, and every one in the city, who wants pro- visions, clothing or any thing, must stand in line.
