EARLY MORNING
FIRE AT DOVER
Threatened Serious Results
for a Time; Legislators
Render Good Service

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, March 1S.-What for
a time this morning, looked like a fire

three doors west Of the Farmers Bank

store and dwelling of Representative
John NJ. Houston on the one side and
the store Of W. II. Reed on the other
side. both frame buildings
Before the fremen arrived. the
Decktor shop was mass of flames
shooting up and across to two ad-
joining buildings, setting them ahre.
Neither Houston nor any member
of the family were conscious of the
danger they were in and had it not
been for the constant banging on the
doors and finally the breaking in OF
one Of the doors they would likely
have been burned to death. Just as
the flames we're reaching upstairs
/ they were aroused and Mrs. Houston
with one child and a younger one
escaped to the down stairs with Mr..
Houston and another child coming
after them
\ Oh
pany arrived on the scene. they began
/ 10 play their chemical engine on the
blaze, which had but little effect but
when two streams OF water we're turn
ed on the buildings, the flames we're
soon checked and within half an hour
the fire was undes control
The Reed store was burned on the
one side, but not as badly as the
Houston store.
The shoe shop of Decktor was
completely quilted The Decktor store
which was one story frame struc-
ture, was owned by Mrs Nina Lieber-
man formerly Of this town. now liv-
ing at Atlantic City The Reed store
! is also owned by Mrs LieberTan
while the Houston store and dwelling
is owned by Miss Eliza Short of this
town.
The loss on all three buildings will
reach about $4,000.
Just back of the burned buildings
were stables in which the horses OF

coal wagons. A few feet from the
Houston building is a large piano anc
organ warehouse Of J. A. Downes. Of

Women's Struggle
From EDWIN MARKHAM.

tionary individual stands alone he
is outlawed; It is only when he
acquires a following, an adequate
number OF sympathizers and sup
porters, that accepted ideas be-

THE progressive individual in
the case OF q woman, has, there

rormity; she has to contend with
the accepted type, with the ruling
masculine notion has set up Tor
womanhood. and also with the
actual predominatins womaniy
type which stands for the average
OF the sex as It Is at this moment
THE classical example Of this
tendency toward progress in the
female sex 10 offered by those
women who first introduced the
feminist movement For over q
century they and their successors
had to be content to be reckoned
as degenerates. They were gen
orally regarded as perverted
types, not to be ranked among
worthy specimens OF their sex,

abnormalities these creatures who
came upsetting established ideas
and questioning approved tenets,
The new paths they sought 10
make for themselves could be
held to be nothing but blind al
leys down which the sex was be

w ERMAN SCHEFFAUER, in
RI a translation from the Ger
man printed by Doran.
presents q thoughtful study OF
the women's movements as seen
by the well-known European
writer, Rosa Mayreder. From one
Of the chapters l note these sug-
gestive thoughts:
ut is undeniable that there are
many women who go far beyond
the average in regard to intellect
and strength of character, and
many who are we'll qualified for
careers and occupations other
than those customary to the sex.
There are many-but are these
enough?
AT all periods OF the worlds
history there have been women
who have equaled or even excelled
the majority OF men in intelli-
gence and in energy; yet they
have not been able to alter the
social position Of their sex either
in the matter OF the law or in
regard to standards of opinion
They were exceptions, and have
been treated as such. They were
exceptions-that Is to say, they
were not specimens Of new line
Of development; they were not
pioneers opening out new routes
for a future generation to follow
and develop; they had no sue
cessors.
But the battle between the
normal majority and the indt-
vidual deviating from the normal
and striving to break down its
tyranny goes down deep into the
constitution of society; and the
process is nothing less than the
organic evolution of civilization.
There are some who will have
nothing to do with external rules,
they will not obey the traditional
code of laws, but will listen only
to the behests of their own ma
ture. The destiny of such ino-
vators varies according to the
force of their personality, ire
spective OF their field of intel
lectual activity. They may be
merely ridiculed or ignored, they
may be misunderstood or perse-
cuted, their end may be misery,
insanity or a martyrs death.
"Such men are in truth martyrs
in the cause of humanity. To
them we owe every forward step
in the progress of the race from
the condition of beasts up to the
noblest and Hottest civilization.
And when a people ceases to pro-
duce such individuals 1t sinks into
petrifaction or stagnation; its
power Of development dies away.
This conflict between the two
