FIRES KEPT
 FlREMEN BUSY
Alarms Came in Rapid Succession Yesterday and One Fire Threat ened Homes in the SOuthwes-
 tern Suburbs of the City.

The fire department was kept busy yesterday in answering alarms, which consisted mainly from burning grass. The most exciting and dangerous of the three fires to which the fireboys responded was one yesterday after noon about 2 o'clock, at Seventeenth avenue and Texas street. A large patch of high grass was burning at a furious rate when the firemen arriv- ed. There are no plugs in this sec ton and the firemen were forced to extinguished the fire with buckets, chemicals and by beating it. To make the blaze more dangerous number of residences are located i'm the grass and within a few moments would have been burned had not the f:remen extremely good work.
 The first alarun called the fire de- partments to No. 1611 West Eighth avenue, a burning flue in the resi- dence of c. " Reeves. The call which was turned in about $40 o'clock, was followed by another at 11:1O at Sixth avenue and Main street. The grass on the Southeast corner, which is va caint, was burning fiercely.
 The tiremen were called out Sum day afternoon to extinguish grass fire at Fifteenth avenue and Ash street.

SOCIALISM AND
 ITS EFFECTS
NOnsignor J. M. Lucey Issues Pamph. let in Which He Deals With the
 Subject Most Interestingly.

The Rt Rev. J. M. Lucey. V. G.. pastor of St Joseph's Catholic Jchurch. has issued a pamphlet in which he deals most interestinly with Practical Socialism and the Solution of Life's Problem by Chris tan Civilizaton,'' The pamphlet was published by the Catholic Publi- cation Society. of Little Rock, of which Rev. Lucey is the head.
 The first part of the pamphlet is devoted to the nature and develop ment of Socialism and the second part to Maim's Moral. Political and Industrial Nature Influenced by Christian Civilization. Rev. Lucey Handles the, subjects in his usual highly intelligent and liberal manner. In the book Rev. Lucey says:
 This booklet isl prepared as an ef- fort to warn these classes of their mistake and to restrain others who might be so disposed to follow ill their footsteps. They are admonished not to led away by false prophets. but to seek extrications from the trou- bles of life in the old reliable ways, which the Christian church offers. If God inspires anyone in times O: earthly calamity, it will certainly be its church and it's members and not those who are seeking destruction. Catholics especially arie warned to have nothing to do with the Social istic organization or ;ts work. If anything of practical importance should arise in relation to Social 'sm and it IS forced upon their at tention in a way to confuse the mind, let them give careful study to the mat ter, corSulting their pastor and such books as may present all sides of the question
