HOSE WAGON TIPPED
In Going to Fire Where Two Fam lilies Lost Everything Close
 Call for Bremen.

Box 72 this morning at 9 o clock called the fire department to 33 Mitch. ell avenue, where a two and a half story. house owned by Dr Crane and occupied by the Marvin and Morse families, was being rapidly consumed by fire. Before the fire laddies arrived at the blaze the flames had big start and 1t was plainly to be seen that 1t would be hard job to save the struc. ture The confagration was discov. cred by Mrs Walter Morse, who lives on the second floor. By the time she had noticed it the cellar was a mass of flame and the smoke was pouring through the upper part of the build. ing. AS there is no hydrant on Mitch. ell avenue long line of hose had to be stretched from North Willow street, and this prevented the firemen from getting a good stream on quickly. When they had started to pour the water on the fire the force of the stream was so poor that 1t was neces- sary for one of the steamers to give it power to reach the top of the house. Nothing was left of the house but the roof and the outer frame work. The ihtCAiOl iS q IOldl WIGCh anu tup lWO families residing there lost everything. There was no time to save any of the furniture and all the household effects went up in smoke Mir Morse at the time of the alarm was at the store Of the New England Engineering Co on West Main street, of which concern he is secretary and superintendent.
 The total loss according to Chief Snagg is about $5, 5,500, everything being insured.
 While the Burton street boys were on the way to the fire their hose wagon tipped while they were making the turn at the corner of North Willow and Grove streets. The wagon was not badly injured, but 1t had to be hauled to the repair shop, panel being split and the axle sprung. At first it was feared that Captain Lynch was injured. but when things were ad- tusted no one was hurt to any extent, although J. Cavanaugh was found to have been shaken up severely. On &C., count of the accident the men were unable to reach the fire.
 Chief Snaeg said this afternoon that the fire this morning showed clearly that hydrant is badly needed on Mitchell avenue.
 About this time year ago the Brooklyn engine tipped while out for practice and the damages amounted to couple of hundred dollars. The men this morning were thrown on all sides of the street and they were fortunate to escape so luckily.
 The fire lasted about two hours.

 Many of the young men in Brook lyn last night who have horses and carriages, but no sleigh, were trying to borrow one A couple of the en- ployes of the brewery were thinking of getting horse from the concern, to hitch to an old sleigh which they had, but their plan was nipped in the bud.
 The quart of champagne which the brewery company gives away yearly to the first person who drives through the gate in a sleigh at the company's yard on Bank street, was captured last evening by Bill" Me Grath, who works in his brothers market on Bank street. About 8 o'clock last evening "Bill' went driv- ing up Bank street with an old sleigh that was hardly able to hold itself to- gether. The cutter was so aged and worn that at first McGrath was fear ful to sit in it lest it should break. Finally he plucked up his courage. stepped gently into the vehicle and sent the horse prancing along the street. He reached the brewery be- fore it closed and the quart of the stuff that chases away the cares was his.

NEVER KISSED BY WOMAN
Denver Man Denying Himself the
Luxury Until He Meets His
Ideal
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
DENVER, Nov. lit is the boast Of
Louis X. Mulford that he has never
kissed nor been kissed by woman,
his mother presumably excepted, and
he declares that he will not permit
himself to indulge in that luxury until
he meets the right one
Mr.. Mulford is the son of a New Jer-
sey millionaire and has one of the most
artistic homes in Denver at 1850 Pearl
street. And he has an automobile
Fancy man with an automobile es-
Gaping being kissed!
Mr.. Mulford is slight and has deli
cately chiseled features. He wears a
sandy mustache and beard of the
Van Dyke style. He Is trife past
thirty years old.
Mr. Mulford processes a love for
everything beautiful, including beauti-
full women yet he has never found one
of the fair sex, he says, who can ap-
proach his ideal, and until he does, he
says, he will stick to his resolution.
The young man is not a woman
hater. He sees lots of good in the fair
SEX but he clings to an old fashioned
idea-so old fashioned, perhaps, that
no one can recall when it was in vogue
that young man, to be clean of
character, must be able to say that he
Mr.. milford does not like to discuss
his extraordinary resolution, and, fur
thermore, he does not care to go into
details about the innumerable times
that he has been close to succumbing
to feminine charms. He admits having
had one affair which threatened to be-
come serious, but, fortunately he says,
broke it off before it became serious
enough to justify a kiss.
In s,afa
self to be kissed?" was asked of Mr..
Mulford when he made his unusual ad-
mission.
II WILL" said he, "when I meet my
ideal, but not until then"
He was paying teller of the Western
bank at one time and was succeeded
by Mark Blair, a protege of Leonard
4. lmboden. The young man is a
devout member of the PRESBYTERIAN
church and devotes his leisure hours 10
riding over the city is an automobile.
He is of an extremely sensitive nature.

WE'RE NOT TURNING RED
Noted Anthropoloeist Says Future
Americans Will Change But
littIe
snoclal to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1f.-Are Americans
TO turn into Indians, as prophesied by
Prof Frederick Starr of Chicago, or
will the typical American be a queer
looking mixture of the white, the Jap,
the Chinaman and the negro, as pro-
phesied by Bishop Hamilton Of the
Methodist church?
This question was submitted to Prof.
Franz Boas, professor of anthropology
in Columbia university. He said:
'"The mixture of European races,
which is in progress in America is en-
tirely in line with the development and
intermixture of the various types in
Europe and there is no reason to as
sumo an outcome different from what
has taken place in Europe. It would
seem that on the whole the physique
of the emigrants is little better than
that Of those remaining at home; and
the more favorable conditions of Amer
ican life have led to slight improve
ment in average physical development.
"The amount of Indian blood that is
found among the whites In America Is
insignificant and there is no reason
why we should believe that the Indian
type should influence the American
type.
up to the present time the Chinese
and Japanese admixture may be en-
tirely neglected, and there is no evf-
dence Of an increased influence of these
physical types.
"The question of the final result of
mixture between whites and negroes Is
much more difficult to foretell. Whether,
with more favorable social conditions
among the negroes. the vitality of the
race and of the mulatto may increase
is q question which at the present time
cannot be answered with any degree of
certainty"
Prof. Boas said further that he was
not q believer in the present English
scientific theory that the brunette type
was better adapted for modern city life,
or that there were any conditions in
city life which tended to eliminate the
blondes. He also said that, generally
speaking, heredity was a stronger in
fluence than environment in molding
the human type, and that nutrition
was potent factor in determining the
strength, height and size of people.
OF the typical American of the future
Prof. Starr of the University of Chi
cago has said:
1.-The American people, in their phys
ical characteristics, are turning more
and more like Indians every day. The
only thing that prevents the people of
the United States from becoming ex-
actly similar to the nomadic tribes of
Indians in facial characteristics is the
intermarriage between residents of this
country and immigrants from foreign
lands.
"If the immigration laws should
once be strictly enforced, few years
would see us all Indians. Once make
the cry general that America is being
used as the dumping ground of Euro
pean nations, and so stir up public
spirit as to exclude foreign elements.
and it would take only few years for
the Indian to haunt his old time pas
lures again."
