REDHEADED AND FREoKLED KID.
A Boy Who is Bound to Make His
Mark in the World.

- DOy VINO Is bOuuO 10 make MS
Mark in the World.
On account of the destructive fires at
Cripple Creek. Arapahoe county has
come into possession of one little red
headed wait who is now being cared for
IN the county hospital till some per-
nanent home can be provided for him.
He is known as Phoenix because-4of
something suggestive in the vividness
of his hair and in the circumstances of
his acquisition by the county He is
boy six weeks old, whose parents are
not known and whose start in life has
not been most propitious.
Yesterday morning a woman drove
UP TO the county court house in car
riage and alighted with a boy in her
arms. She sought the Office of the
chairman of the county commissioners.
Clerk Steele was there, and to him the
woman related the story of the wait.
She was a handsome woman with dark
hair and eyes. Her name she gave as
Mrs. Annie Lewis and explained that
she was widow. She had been living
in Cripple Creek, where she owned
property, but this had been destroyed
and she had been compelled to come to
Denver to get employment.
This morning after the fire Mrs.
Lewis SdIQ she IOuIlQ JfS TeQ-HdlTSQ
baby upon her front door step. The lit
tie fellow was clothed warmly but very
plainly, and there was nothing of the
aristocratic in his general appearance.
He was very. very red-headed, and his
face was covered with freckles, and
he was altogether as unpromising a
bit of babyhood as could be seen in the
town. Nevertheless, Mrs. Lewis took
him in and cared for him. She had
not been damaged by the first fire and
she concluded she would keep the baby
as long as she could. The boy got
along finely for the short interval in
which Mrs. Lewis could care for him.
and he gave evidence of being a good
natured infant who would cause little
trouble
Then came the second fire and Mrs.
Lewis home went with other things.
and she was compelled to flee with
the ed-haired baby. leaving most of
her goods and furniture to burn. She
stayed in the camp two days and then
came to Denver with the baby. Here
she went to some charitable women
and asked what she could do with it.
They sent her to the county commits
sioners with an Endorsement of Mrs.
Lewis. Phoenix" was given into the
care of the county hospital, where he
will remain until the scarlet fever,
which now prevails at the state home
for dependent children, has been Grad
ieated so that it will be safe to admit
new comers.-Denver Republican.

Fires in Coal Ships.

Within three weeks two fine
ships have arrived in port with
their cargOes ruined. says the = F.
Examiner of April 18th. In the
past season nearly a dozen ships
have been a total loss by fire.. For
all these disasters we find a single
cause. and for all the loss of prop
erty and life a single reason. The
fires have come, one and all, from
the spontaneous combustion of
coal carried in bulk, and the loss
and suffering have been endured
because ship-owners are too penu-
rious, or reckless, or ignorant to
provide the simple apparatus
needed to put out the fires.
1t is. well known that an eff
oient apparatus for fighting just
such fires as prove so dangerous
ON coal ships can be had for ST.
500 to $1,000. The chemical en-
CINE that is in daily use in the
Fire Departments of every large
city deals cheaply and efficiently
with just the kind of fires that Oc-
cur on coal ships-a hidden fire
in a confined space.
If ship-owners will not of their
own motion provide their ships
with this simple apparatus the I'M
should take steps to
force them to it. And if the IN
writer's do not interest themselves
in the matter the civilized Govern
ments should compel the equip
ment by law. Human life is
worth protecting, if the property
Of ship-owners is not.
