! were fighting the flames fir on
| the Reed street side OF tht
building. One of the brave
laddies ciambered to the sec
ondstory of the building. burst
open the sliding doors and drew
a line CT hose in. Then calling
to his comrades on the outside
they responded and in short
time this particular stream was
doing good work in keeping the
fire within its original bounds.
The third floor of the build.
ing was a seething mass Of
flames one hour after the alarm
was sounded. The woodwork
was oily, and the skins being
oiled, furnished excellent food
for fire. But there was material
OF even more inhammable ma
ture in the building, but fortu-
nateIy on the ground floor
thirty yerds away from the fire.
This material was twenty-five
tons ofpitch such as is used in
crlrino morocco. Had the
flames reached it the entire
plant Of the company and the
adjoining properties would cer-
tainly have been destroyed.
While responding to the
alarm the horses of the Wecca-
coe Company fell in the street
and badly skinned themselves.
As the sparks from the burning
building began their evil work
on the little houses on Chestnut
street the tiremen turned the r
attention in that direction and
sque'ched the flames wherever
they appeared. Many people
had their carpets up and other
wise prepared to leave their
homes in a minutes notice.
Chief Joyce noticed a huge
water tank on top ofthe engine
house adjoining the burning
building. Taking his hammer
the chief kncc'>ed the plug out
Of the lower part of the tank
and a stream Of water played
from the tank into the flames.
The chief instructed the
watchman to start the pumps
in his engine room and keep
the tank replenlshed. The I'M
provised fire fighter did good
work and aided in saving the
engine building and the old
store rooms.
Street car travel was blocked
by the net work crossing the
tracks. Passengers were COM
PEELED to walk aero ss the OBJ
places and boarded
cars in W aiting on the other

flames would not reach the
second floor, but when the fire
reached the oiiing department,
numerous explosions Of OF
were heard aud soon broke Out
on the second floor. Here the
improved machinery, only edd.
ed to the plant few weeks
ago, was placed. 1t is utterly
ruined.
That tie area of the fire
was only l75x9O feet instead
of 300xl00 feet, thus destroy
ing the entire factory, is due
probably to the iire-doors be-
tween the old portion OF the fac.
tory and the new building.
These fire doors, acting as a
brick wall. ropulsed the flames
and prevented any commune
cation with the woodwork he
yond. Z he fire doors were
but recently placed in the
plant by order Of the under
writer's.
In the wing thus saved we're
stored thousands of skins. In
fact Mr.. Palzowsky said tile
wing contains two weeks work
ahead. He declared the l>ss
would have totalled to one half
q million dollars had this por-
ton of the plant burned.
f. Blumenthal & Company's
plant is not provided with fire
protection. There was not a
section OF lI.s Sc or an autonlat.
ic protector within reach of
Night watchmeu McGovern
and Wigslesworth. Several
tiremen in an effort to get in
the l. part of the Reed street
factory, found the door leading
from tho building to the fire
escape nailed fast, For all
practical purposes this fire es-:
cape was of no use.
Four hundred and fifty per-
sons we're employed in the

struction OF this factory will of

kicharged Pa'z )wsky, manager
of the big concern, said last
ni9ht that the entire plant

Mr.. PalzJwsky believes the

The loss to +. Blumen thai is

said that the loss en..
tailed by the destruction Of the

the entire loss would amount to
over $l5O,00O. He was un-
able to give an estimate owing

THE MooUI SNAKE DANCE.
Not a Safe Place for Visitors This Year
 Danger From Small>Pox Still Exists.

NohkSE IISAi StuoiSA VA S'hi LAioo'
 The annual snake or rain dance of the Moqui Indians will not be the affair this year that it has been in the past. The ravages of the smallpox during winter months made sad the heart of the Moqui, and the Tucsayan provinces are still mourning the loss of many of the most prominent of thelr 'snake men,"
 It is said by those familiar with the tribe that the number of deaths since February lst exceed 300. The ravages Of the disease was the greatest at the towns of Wolpi and Mi-shong-wa, and the deaths were so numerous that the bodies of the dead could not be buried and they were thrown in crevice in the rocks near the villages. The In- dians expected to give them burial after the passage of the scourge. The crevice being narrow and about fifty feet deep, it is not known how the bod les were to be recovered. And the In- dian authorities who attempted to dis infect the villages after the epidemic thought it the wiser plan to cremate the dead, and u large amount of coal oil was used to accomplish this purely sanitary measure. The task of disin- fecting the homes of the Moqui was herculean one, and at the best could be but imperfectly done. There are so many houses, and being built one above the other in an irregular manner, so that the entrances are known only to those who are familiar with them.
 The work of disinfecting the major ity of the houses was left to two men
The Coconino sun., 1899-07-29

who performed the work within two days. when it should have taken that many months to do the work perfectly. In many instances when the MOqui knew his home was to be disinfected all the effects would be removed and hidden until after the officials left. when they were returned to their former places, as the articles were those which the business sense of the Indian led him to believe would be bought by visitors to the snake dance in August. neither knowing nor caring about the danger that the visitor would be exposed to in the purchase of any of these articles.
 While everything is being done to prevent another outbreak of the small- pox in the villages, it would surprise no one familiar with the ways of the Indian should another epidemic occur at any time.
 At Oraibi, the most populous of the villages, but three deaths occurred. It being twenty miles from Wolpi, and the vigilance of the government auth critics prevented the spread of the disease within the town. Every Indian old or young, in the place, was promptly vaccinated. Three hundred of them submitted to the operation in one day.
 There will be no snake dance at Oraibi this year, but at the towns of Wolpi and Mi-shong-wa the ceremony will be observed. Owing to the many deaths which have occurred among the members of the order, the ceremony will be conducted by the surviving members, assisted by such younger members of the tribe as the older ones may select, and the event will not be

THINK Frs and OBSERVERS.

Among the countless varieties of hui
man character there are two types
which in their extreme conditions are
strongly contrasted, and may be dis
tinguished at a glance. These are
the thiokers and the observers. The
| thinker is remarkable for the develop
ment of the upper part of the fore
head. The observer for the promi-
| nence of the eyebrows and the lower
line of the forehead. These conditions
are generally mixed in fair proper
tions. 1t is only in the extreme ex-
amples that thew become striking
characteristics. When you see a man
with a wide, high forehead, narrow
and flat about the eyes, you know
that he is dreamer His dreams
may be lofty, poetic. and beautiful,
but their connection with practical
| life will be slender. When, ON the
other hand, you find man with fuh
development about the eyebrows, but
neither breadth nor height above the
ears, you know that you have to do
with keen, practical man of BUSH
ness, excellent for the work of the
world, but incapable of metaphysics
and careless of theory. Phrenology
may err in details, but there is no
question of the truth of these general
principles. Probably the most ad,
mirable character is one in which
these two types are equally combined
and equally energetic. Such men as
Shakespeare, Bacon, Newton, Bee
thoven, see everything that goes ON
around them. They are not caught
Mapping. But at the same time they
see below the surface into the causes
and theories of things. They think
and generalize, and see the beauty and
| poetry that fill the universe. In any
collection of portraits, or in any as
sembly of living people, it is always
| interesting to mark the distinction
and the blending of these two types of
character.
