THE SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER.
The news from San Francisco today adds instead of diminishes the horrors of what is probably the worst catastrophe that has befallen a modern community, and the sympathy of the world will go out to the stricken city and its people.
The expressions of sympathy and the proffers of assistance have been quick and generous.
In times and incidents like this, the entire Christian world is at one.
In the midst of the awful gloom and depression attending such a disaster there are many incidents of human nature noble in their beauty.
Most of the legislative bodies of the American cities have quickly been called in special session to make donations of money, provisions and assistance in any acceptable form to the bereft people and they will be given in full measure.
Paducah should send its mite, and it would be fitting if the aldermen tonight offer a resolution appropriating something for the relief of the city.
The Sun knowing the generous impulses of the people of Paducah, has started a relief fund and heads the list with $10. It has received many other donations and will gladly accept anything any of its readers wish to send to a suffering people.
