A Denver Blaze,

DENVER, Colorado. July 6.-At 1:15 this
morning, as the people were going home
from the celebrating Of the National Birth
day, fire was discovered in the Academy Of
Music, and before the Fire Department
could get to work the flames we're leaping
through the building in a half d. zen places,
and a few minutes later it was one mass OF
flames. The heat was SO intolerable that
the Fire Department were driven from the
frort OF the building. 1t now became evil
dent that the Academy was doomed, and
the fremen devoted themselves to saving
the Rocky Mountain News building and the
Goode & McClintock blocks which were
adjoining and now on fir on the outside.
The flames spread SO rapidly and the heat
became 30 intense that in less than fifteen
minutes after the discovery of the fire, the
wires Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, whose office is in the block
directly across the alley from the Academy,
melted in two and all the service destroyed.
The operators managed to save the Wheat-
stone and other valuable Instruments,
though several of the relays were destroyed
by the heat transmitted from the melting
wires before they could be detached.
Tbs fire was the quickest ever witnessed in
Denver. A hundred departments could not
have saved the building which was q mass
Of ruins an hour after the alarm was given.
The ground floor was occupied as business
houses, in which several men were sleeping
at the time Of the fire, all OF whom were
rescued by the tiremen except Tim Enright, |
an old man r%oustabout, in the saloon Of
John Kinneavy. Enright retired at IL
o'clock last night in an intoxicated condi-
ton: and was forgotten till SO late that he
could not be aroused, and persisted in the
flames.
The cause OF the fire is at present I'M
known. As near as could be learned the
losses are as follows: p. T. Hughes, on
Academy Of Music, $125,OOO; insurance,
$4,000. Rocky Mountain News, $4,000;
insurance, $4,000. John Kinneavy, sa-
loon, 5000; insurance, $1,000. Solomon,
clothing, 81 1000; insurance, $1,000. Laza-
rus, tailor, $1,000; no insurance. Goode
Block. $4,000; insurance, $1,000. Joseph
Meskew. $1,000; no insurance. McClintock
Block, 81, 300. Smaller losses are esti-
mated at s., 900.

EDUCATION AND ORGANlZA

EDUCA ION AND ORGANlZA-
TON.
While organization is progressing
at an astounding rate among the
workers, their education is a matter
Of slower growth, and needs more
fostering care. Simply to organize,
to band together, is not enough, nor
is it enough that we flock IN great
numbers for the vague oh ject Of bet
tcrlng our condition. A knowledge
Of the reason why, in the first place,
there is IL labor question ut all is
needed by thousands Of the work
men who are proud Of the fact that
they are organized; and the absence
Of that knowledge is apparent when
we consider that the tactics observed
IN many Of our organizations are
patterned rs near Us may be after
those of the ruling class. Too much
weight is placed upon personality,
while principle is thereby forced in
the background. The mention of u
Hame in much of our labor lItcra-
turc Of the periodical sort is made to
carry with it certain IDEAS, precisely
rs in our capltaIlstic press the poht-
cal news Of the day is conglomcra-
ton of names with Il tiIamcnt Of un-
meaning words to connect them. 1t
is the very essence Of ndividmlism
and competition that is still pre-
dominant in the minds Of our pcO-
pie. The opposite extreme Of MAX
ing individuals mere utilities could
hardly be worse. In our societies
there is IA desire for official dignity
manifested that is often disgusting.

The homage paId to the individual
who has power creates a dPSitf tol

noble traits of character than | thought

of a Pauline was no inConsiderable task,
for while there were several who were in
every way capable of doing the part they
would not accept it because they had iden-

dressed for those parts. and preferred a
new Pauline be selected, and As another
postpOnement meant failure it was decided
TO employ an actress who would have the
advantage of experience To help her in a
