burns Yesterday afternoon at the home
OF her aunt Mrs. Charles s. Nathan. 2426
Buena Vista avenue, Alameda, which
later terminated fatally.
In some way unknown the child, with
her little cousins, Florence and Mamie
Tolmon, aged and years respectively,
obtained coal oil and matches, which the
three children carried TO a summer house
in the rear of the Nathan home. Here
the oil was ignited by the Denahy child,
and the explosion which followed set fire
to her clothes and she was Immediately
eiveloped in flames The two younger
children were unable to render any as
sistance TO their burning playmate, and,
screaming with agony, Lottie ran through
the yard and into one of the basement
rooms of the Nathan residence occupied
by Mrs. M. Fitzgerald. The latter on
seeing the child S fearful plight, was at
first badly frightened, but picked up
large floor mat and wrapping 1t around
the screaming and roasting little one
rolled her on the floor in a vain attempt
to smother the flames.
AS the flames continued to flare out
from the folds of the mat. Mrs. Fitz-
gerald rushed outdoors with her burning
human burden and rolled the screaming
child in the soft sand of the back yard.
She spread sand on the burning remnants
Of the ,child's clothing which stili chung
IN this way the fire was completely
smothered.
Drs. Pond and Bull were summoned,
and on examination found that the child
body was burned In q horrible manner.
Large pieces of cuticie peeled off at the
touch of the physicians hands and 1t was
found necessary to put the child under
the influence of opi1tes while her little
body was being swathed in oil and cotton.
Last evening the sufferer was conveyed
to the Oakland Receiving Hospital.
DR.. Stratton and the other physicians
and surgeons at the Receiving Hospital
expressed very meager hopes of saving
the childs life. owing to the extensive
skin area affected. They worked over
the little body faithfully until late to-
night. but with no avail. for shortly after
II O'Clock death ended the childs suffer
ing.
Mrs. NJ Fitzgerald. who was the only
one in the Nathan house when the acct
dent occurred gives her version of the
affair as follows: Il was sitting in one
of the basement rooms when / heard ter
rihle screaming coming from some one of
the children In the back yard. As
arose to see what the matter was Lottie
appeared in the doorway. and was a mass
of flames from head to foot. She rushed

the floor and wrapping it. about the
screaming child / endeavored to smother
the flames. AS the flames kept burning
my arms and wrists ! ran with the child
irfo the yard and rolled her in the sand,
and in that way ! succeeded in putting
out the fire in what remained OF the
child's clothes. l do not know how the
children got the oil, but one of the little
ones says Lottie put matches IN her
pocket last night and to-day got the OIL
The burned child's mother Is dead. The
child went to Alameda last Sunday on
visit to her cousins, the children OF Mrs.

THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTH.

From all over the South, and
through the industrial Journals
generally, encouraging news Is
coming in the interests of South
ern mills. The New York Einan-
cial Chronicle, IN its recent annu-
al supplement, has this say upon
the subject:
Southern cotton mills have
enjoyed a more prosperous season
than the previous one, especially
since the 1st of January. They
were in better condition than
Northern splnners even during
the last quarter of 1898. But
since 1899 began their use of the
raw material has appreciably in
creased and the margin of profit
has been wider. These changes
are the natural result Of the more
active consumption OF goods. In
very many instances Southern
mills have found it necessary to
keep in operation night as we'll as
day, TO preyent too rapid accu-
mutation of orders. There Is as
yet no sign Of a check in this de
velopment. On the contrary, it
is the general opinion among
Southern manufacturers, with
whom we have been in corresp0n-
dence, that the future outlook is
extremely bright. There were Ala
cotton mills in the South on Sept.
l. 1899. with 1882 POI SpindIes
and 95, ,90l looms, which consum-
ed, during the year, 400, ,026
bales of cottOn-an increase in
number of mills of nearly 100 per
cent since 1929. 1t is encour-
aging to know that these South
ern mills are good paying stocks,
as such condition is necessary to
arouse a general interest for fur
ther investments in the industry.
OF sixteen Southern mill stocks
from Georgia and South Carolina,
all were quoted considerably
above par, with but three cXcep-
tions, and they were close unto
the 100 mark. The South will
very soon convince the CONNER
ciaI world that it is the center of
the cotton mill industry, as it Is
now the center of production OF
the staple.

Hauling Down the Flag.

In their poverty of argument
the imperialist orators are indulg-
ing in a wealth of slush.
One of their favorite cries is:
"Who will haul down the flag"
and one of their number made
bold to excEaim a few days ago
that the flag had never been haul
ed down, ,and,please God, it never
should be.
Thus we have mixture of slOpS
and ignorance.
The flag Of the United States
has been hauled down frequently.
During the war of 1912 and after
it was over, the flag was hauled
down IN Canadian territory, where
our aggressive army which inVad-
ed Mexico raised the flag over the
hall of the Montezumas. but it
was taken down. When the Unit
ed States consul at Honolulu aid
ed and made effective the Dole
conspiracy which over-threw the
government of Hawaii he ran up
the flag over Dole'S capital. bat
it was promptly and properly or
drred down by President Glove
land soon after his second inauga-
ration. And we.have recently seen
the flag hauled down in Alaska
and with drawn from territory
over which it floated for more than
thirty years.
Whether or not the flag shouId
be hauled down in any quarter
depends entirely upon how it came
to be flying there. it ii is there
rightoousIy. it should, Of course,
be kept there; if there without the
right to be there, the honor of the
nation demands not that it should
/ be upheld, but that it should be
haulcd down.
But The impcrialists do not SC
consider. They say that wherever
the fagis and however it got there
+ it must remain.
! We are thankful to say that oul
! government has hitherto beer
conducted on a different and ;
higher principle than that anC
/ because it has been so conducted
our flag is honored and respected
throughout the world as 1t never
could have been had we made Il
