AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE.
The inclination of the San Francisco papers of the day, each to go their competitors one better, is well demonstrated by orders issued by the "Call" and "Chronicle" respectively. French, of the "Chronicle," on the Wednesday evening after the earthquake ordered :— "The 'Chronicle 1 men will meet at the 'Chronicle' to-mor-row at l, if there is any 'Chronicle.' " M'Naught, of the "Call," " ordered that :— " 'Call' men will meet tomorrow at the Fairmpunt at 1, if there is any to-morrow!" ( Justice F. W. Henshaw tells this earthquake story :— ln Redwood City a hotel was wrecked, and many persons were pinioned m, the wreckage, ' although there were no fatalities. As the bystanders were busy getting out those m danger, a breezy voice was heard from the depths exclaiming :— "Here, help me out first, can't you? I'm an Eastern man, and I'm not used to this like you Calif ornians."
