IS EXPERIENCE A SAFE GUIDE?

Experien: &C unaided by well trained
mental and physical faculties, is apt
to be deceptive. All testimony based
solely upon experience, without refer
ence to reason or analogy, must be
considered as of little value. Errors
of observation and faulty conclusions
are sure to vitiate the testimony OF
experience in the absence of sufficient
training. 1t is better to be skeptical and
critical than to accept too readily the
false reports of ill-trained senses. The
errors of mankind proceed less fire.

FIRE LAST EVENING.

was called to the corner of Tenth and

a rear room of the house of prostitu-
ton conducted by Rose Brent, colored, at
No. zoos alley c. The chemical company
extingu!shtd the blaze and the services
Of the other apparatus was not needed.
The case was one of a combustible COM
bination of intoxicated girl. cigarette and
feather bed, as far as could be learned
The sirl drank beer. lighted a cigarette.
and lay down TO take a snooze. The cigar
cite set the bed on fire, and in about two
minutes there were feathers all over that
portion of the Second ward. The bed was
dragged out Of the room. ripped open and
dumped over a porch into the yard. and
the wind did the rest. Aside from the loss
of the bed. the damage was nominal.
Some of these nights there will be a fire
of the first order in alley c. and some poor
devil will be burned TO death. The care
lessnoss of the people Of that neighborhood
is past belief, and it is more by good luck
than good management that has not been
trouble before this.
