oriain of White Race:

The discussion of the precise locality where the primitive man developed into the white race is by no means settled as yet. The old theory that the Aryan or white race began in Asia is still held by many high authorities, but other authorities equally high maintain that the original white mans country was Europe and that from Europe the race spread to other parts of the world. It is safe to say that the last word upon the subject has not yet been spoken. The debaan is still open and will probably remain so for q very long time to come.-New York American.

SLIGHT BLAZE WEDNESDAY EVENING
]. G. Alvarez Residence On Madison
d Street CAUGHT Fire.

Wednesday evening about o'clock
G.. @. Livingston, in passing Mrs. J. G.
Alysrez's residence on West Madison
street, discovered fire in the roof Of the
east porch, started, probably, by sparks
from the chimney. He notified Claude
Alvarez, who is one of the occupants of
the house, and then hurried down town
to give the alarm.
When news of ths fire reaches the
Telephone Exchange their instructions
are to phone Fire Chief W. L. Wall and
Assistant Chief J. s. Cassie. Mr.. Cassie
heard the alarm and just as he opened
the door to run TO the city hall, where
the fire apparatus are kept. he heard the
telephone bell, but did not take time to
answer it, thinking it was well known
where 81 fire was. Somebody said il
was at Clyde Alvarez's residence on
Walnut street and the fremen hurried
thither only to find no fire there. Later
they were informed shat It was at the J.
g. Alverez place and they hsstened
there. But the blaze had been partly
put out with garden hose and what
remained was soon extinguished with
ths fire hose. The damage done by the
flre was very trifling.
To show how quickly our firemeu
move, in spite Of the delay due to the
misinformation, it was hardly ten min.
utes from the time the alarm was given
till the flames were extinguished.

GROETH OF THE SOUTH.

The increase of AZ per cent. in the
population of Florida in the last ten
years in contrast with the actual de-
crease reported in several states, and a
very small gain In q number OF other
motherhood Western sfa'es. is Int in
dicative of the change that has been go
ing on in the country for the last ten
years. The Mauutacturers' Record hH
repeatedly called attention to the fact
that a5out 1890 emigration from the
south steadily decreased as compared
with former years, and immigration to
the south increased. The census figures
are beginning to tell the story in such a
way as 10 command universal attention.
The very heavy gain of 40 ger cent. in
Florida. which is about double the rate
of increase shown by the entire country,
has been due largely to the incoming OF
people from the north and west. While
Florida has drawn some Of its increase
from other southern states. the move
ment into that state from other sections
has been exceptionally active. No one
could have visited Florida daring the
last four or five years and studied the
situation there without being Impressed
with the remarkable progress seen in
every direction. Not only have the
towns been growing rapidly in popula-
ton and in general business, but agri-
cultural development nas kept pace
with city progress. Thousands of peo-
pie have been drawn to Florida by the
attractions of fruit growing aud truck
ing, and other thousands by the indus
trial and commercial opportunities Of
the state.
II is not TO be expected that the CEN
trail south will make any such show Of
population increase as has Florida, be-
cause the conditions have been different,
bat the increase in Florida's population
il typical OF the material advancement
Of the whole south. Then years ago tine
south had surplus oi..population in
that its people were not folly employed,
and that there were really at that time
more men than there was profitable en-
ployment for them. The rate Of wages
was low as compared with other SEQ
ticns, and vast number ever since the
war have been turning their steps t0 the
north and west because OF the better OPP
portunities for employment there than
in their own land. This atuation, how
ever, has been changed. Increasing az
ricaltural aud misunderstanding interests
have largely absorbed the surplus popu-
iation, and Il Il no ionger necessary for
men TO look slsswhsrs for work. With
this increasing demand for labor the
rate Of wages has bean gradually ad-
vancing until IL Is moro On = parity with
the wages Of other sections. The wide
.iiversifcatioo OF agricultural interests
In which this section is getting back 70
the condition existing prior 70 the war
in grain growing and cattle raising are
proving aSdrswing card IN attracting the
attention Of people from other parts Of
fhe country.
What Florida has done In the last ten
years - indicative Of what great many
other southern states win show during
the coming ten years. Everywhere the
