OUR SOUVENIR EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE SPECIAL.

THE date of this issue is June 27. But there are few things in it which will get old for months.

Certainly the story of San Francisco's and Santa Rosa's calamity will never grow old till those who know these towns have passed away.

Do you want to know the particulars? Do you wish to see some of the best pictures made of the great calamity? Do you wish to have a list of the great earthquakes of history? Read some of the following which this splendid issue contains:

In Illustrations.

A fire picture of the burning of the city, in colors.
Two two-page panoramic views—one of the great fire and the other of the ruins, in colors.
A portrait of the governor of California, Hon. Geo. C. Pardee.
A whole page (seven views) of Stanford University buildings before and after the great temblor.
A whole page (six views) of refugee scenes, camps, etc.
A page on areas covered by earthquake and fire, including a relief map of San Francisco, with burned district in red.
A fine page-view of fire and ruins, looking up California Street, and twenty-four other illustrations of graphic earthquake scenes, including six seismographic records taken in California, New York, and Austria. These are worth the price of the paper, as are several of the other illustrations.
