THE NEW FIRE ORpINANCE,-The
Second Branch of the City Council was
engaged last night in considering an
ordinance to create paid fire depart
ment for the city of Wheeling. The
great trouble with Council seemed to be
that the members attempted to dove
tail the laws and workings of the vol
unteer system with the paid system, and
that sort of thing never did and never
will work.
The ordinance provides for two fire
districts, one north of Wheeling creek
and one south of it, and the election Of
Chief of the Fire Department and two
Assistants, one from each of the fire
districts. Why it is necessary to have
three general officers for three steam
fire engines and one hook and ladder
truck is certainly beyond our compre'
hension. AS we'll might you elect 8
Colonel, Lieut.. Colonel and Major &c
run corporals guard of soldiers.
What this city wants is just what al
cities of its size elsewhere have, men
enough to do the work at fires well
pay them well and keep them at the
engine houses all the time they are not
engaged at fires, under the control Of
the chief and one assistant.
The idea that men can be fremen par,
of the time and engaged in other bust.
nesses part of the time is radically
wrong, By such course you spoil q
good brakeman without getting good
fireman. You pay your policemen tc
protect you from burglars and should
pay your firemen to protect your home,
from the rsvages of fire, and pay then
lot devoting their entire time to it.

A COOP IDEA-An excellent sugges-
ton is made by an English druggist in
relation to the dispensing of poisonous
substances. He proposes that, in addi-
ton to the word poison" the labels
should have printed on their margins
the appropriate antidotes for each class
of poisons. A bottle containing min
eral acid, for instance, would have on its
label;
POISON!
If taken by accident, give (mixed with
water) chalk, or soap, or whiting, OF
ceiling scrapings.
Similar labels might be printed fol
the various classes of deadly drugs
From the great laxity of our laws con
corning the dispen sing of medicines
some such plan as this is much needed
and if it were adopted we should heal
of fewer deaths from ignorant over
| dosing or carelessness.

JUDGE ORTON's ADDRESS.

The annual address before the State
Historical Society by Hon. Harlow S.
orion, attracted large and appreciative
audience Both the floor and galleries
were we'll filed. Hon Jas. Sutherland,
Vice President of the Society, presided
Judge Orton's address was on the sub
ject of "History and Development of
Races. 1t was thoughtful and elo-
quent production. He passed in review
the long procession of dead nations of
which we catch glimpse in the dim dawn
of history, or in the broken and frag-
mentary remains of their architecture and
art He referred to the numerous monu-
ments scattered over our own continent
and In our own State of extinct peoples
of a more advanced order and different
race from those found here upon the dis
covery of the country by Europeans; and
reviewed the movements and interblend-
ing of races in Asia and Europe within
the historic period. He believed all races
were from common parentage, and that
the swart- Etbiop and the blonde Saxon
were members of common human broth
erhood. The differences between races
was the result of climate, food and other
natural causes operating through long
period of time. A people that remained
in place for many centuries subject to
the same climatic influences, and inter-
marrying ssamong themselves, gradually
assumed a certain type of features and
character and lost in force and activity
The greatest nations were she result of a
mixture of different bloods. As illustra-
tive of this principle he referred to
Greece, Rome, England, and Germany.
In England, the Briton, the Celt, the
Saxon, the Dane, and the Norwegian,
were blended into one powerful race.
The blending of races had produced the
race, VIII Oh was the Caucasian race. 1t
was bad bargain, however, for the super
Tor race when it mixed with inferior races
