MONEY AND CLOTHING NEEDED
Relief Committee Trying to Get in
 Touch With Victims.

Hot Springs s.-Arrangements were made to get in touch with those who suffered from the fire, but who have, so far as any of the relief committee knows, disappeared" since the con- flagration. This subject was discussed with Governor Hays, and the only way to account for those who have thus far refrained from coming to the Business Mems League for relief is the fact that they have too much pride and are being given temporary assist ance by friends or relatives.
 The committee is willing to assist all who are in need of help and the mem bers of the committee realize that sooner or later those who are now quartered with those who have taken them into their homes will have to leave their temporary quarters. They ask these not to hesitate to make their needs known.
 Adjutant Howard of the Salvation Army, asked the newspapers to re- quest donations of clothing and cook ing utensils, but as soon as that fact was made known to the relief commit. tee made arrangements to secure the articles he asked for. Adjutant How ard stated he had provided quarters for 50 families within the last few days, but the majority of them had practically no clothing, having lost everything in the fire, and did not possess the necessary articles to start housekeeping with.

 Story of the Fire.
 The fire is said to have started in a negro shack and because of a delay in turning n fire alarm the fire had assumed big proportions when the fire department reached the scene Be- cause of the long dry spell the sur rounding wood structures and shacks were dry as finder and the flames soon spread beyond the control of the fire men. A strong wind was blowing and soon the flames were spreading to the south.
 After 10 hours the fire had burned its was practically to the foot of West mountain, sweeping district seven to 10 blocks in width, from Hot Springs mountain on the east of West noun tain, distance of mile and half.
 Human ingenuity and modern fire apparatus ayailed nothing against the resistless force of the flames, famed by a shifting gale which carried it first in one direction and then in ah- ether, threatening the entire city at times.
 Hot Springs views in quiet awe such scene of Gesolation as it never wit- messed before. Aided by the Little Rock Fire Department. the local fire fighting force battled with the flames for almost 10 hours, fighting hope, less battle at every stage, and sue. ceeding only in diverting the course of the fire from the principal business section and the Reservation.
 Mayor McLendon ordered all the saloons in the city closed and called a meeting of citizens at the city hall

EUROPEAN NATIONS ARE NOT
ANXIOUS FOR WAR-SUM-
MARY OF CONDITIONS BEAR
ING ON MRAKET AT PRESENT.

France and Germany are ready to
spring at each others throat, the
newspapers are telling us in big type.
| don't believe it, says B. C. Forbes
in the New York American.
Rothschild Is credited with having
declared at a time similar to this.
when a war fever was raging:
''There will be no war. | won't have
it." The house of Rothschild still
has a finger on the purse-strings of
Europe. and by no twist of reason-
ing can they be regarded as likely
to favor the destruction of Germany
by France, or France by Germany.
They have enormous financial inter-
ests in France and in securities held
in France, yet at the same time they
are not less concerned in the welfare
of Germany, their fatherland. They
would have all to lose and nothing
worth while to gain by a deadly
Franco-German struggle.
European war seares of one kind
or another are continually being
hatched. Not long ago Britain was
to pounce upon Germany. Now that
she has refused France has been
delegated to do the job.
Someone remarked recently that a
nation did not stop to count its cash
before embarking upon a war If its
Indignation were thoroughly aroused

and the gun. A Franco-German war

FUNERALS AND THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING.

And now without preamble comes
the secretary of the Massachusetts
state board of Embalming and de-
clares that fashion in funerals is one
of the causes of the high
cost of living. Just as in weddings
and receptions" he says. there is
also an excessive style put on in
burials. AS you can buy a sound
cheap, medium priced lunch without
trimmings, 70 you can buy a respect
able cheap funeral without the
trimmings.
The sad part of all this is its truth.
After a while people in general will
learn that the best way to pay honor
to a man or a woman is during his
or her lifetime. As it is now we are
laboring under the superstition that
the dead demand plumes and pomp.
1t is not going too far to say that
more money is spent on some of the
funerals of the very poor than the
recipients thereof ever enjoyed DUR
ing life.
This is all wrong. Our first duty
is to the living. 1t seems not only
foolish, but criminal to let children
go hungry that relatives and friends
may ride to a cemetery in carriages
and that flowers may cover a grave.
But as we progress We shall grow
toward the broad view that the liv-
ing, and our sorrow for the dead be
shown in some other way than by an
ostentation so many of US can ill af-
ford.

A NEW GREAT INVENTION.

We find in the eastern papers an
account of a new and wonderful in
vention which is likely to make a
readjustment of stenographic work
and the record of current testimony
and current transcription. The in
vention is called the Stereotype" A
description if 1t recently appeared in
a New York paper and that descrip-
ton will make people open their eyes
1t is stated that in a comparative test
in New York between two expert
stenographers and two operators of
the machine, the operators won by
most amazing margin.
The stenographers quit when the
speed of dictation passed lao words
a minute but the stereotype made a
record of 500 words a minute. The
best shorthand record is 267 words a
minute. The machine is described as
resembling a typewriter, except that
it has but % keys and is silent.
There are seven initial consonants,
eight final consonants and the five
vowel characters. BY combination
every possible sound may be recorded
instantly and silently in stenogra-
phic characters, which any typist ac-
quainted with the system may read
and translate. 1t Is said that nearly
5000 of these machines are now in
service.

COUNTRY's FLAG HIS SHROUD.

For the first time in nearly fifty
years, st. Patrick's Day passed over
Carson without the big green flag
with the harp upon it being flung to
the breeze ere King street from
the residence of the late Ed.
Sweeney. Ed. Sweeney was an Irish
man, all the time, and eve since
there was a town of Carson, or near
ly SO, 1t had been the regular thing
for the old gentleman to stretch a
line from the top of his home to a
point across the street and fling the
flag of Erin to the breeze. When the
old pioneer died recently, the flag he
loved so well was placed in his coffin
and buried with his remains.-Car-

WAGES vs..

In considering the question of the
sufieiency of wages for women We
are apt to fall vistims to the doctrine
of averages. That insufficient wages
create a condition which leads to
lam%entable results is conceded on
all sides. Those results often come,
We are only too well aware. when
wages are sufficient for actual living,
but not for much else in the way of
amusement and neat or tasteful
dressing. But 1t is the forced re-
suits of an actual insuficiency of
wages to support life in decency and
in the n the nature of the en-
ployment demands which are being
considered just now, and they al
not be dealt with on the average
principle. The wage of each girl
stands by itself. 1t is the only one
she can use. The girl drawing IS a
week may combine with the one
drawing $40 statistically, but she
can not do SO actually. She must
live on her own So. Therefore, talk
of the average wages paid in an es-
Enlistment does not reach the heart
of the matter.
The figures quoted in reports of
the Chicago investigation go to show
that $S a week is an absolute mini
mum for mere existence of a girl
living entirely upon her W income.
They seem to make no provision for
clothing. shoes and hats. Girls nat
ingly dressed. 1t takes money to
buy hats, suits, waists, shoes and the
long list of things necessary in a
girls wardrobe. This can scarcely
be done on what is given as the aver
age wages. Certainly it can not be
done by those who receive anything
below the average. Fortunately for
most of these, they live at home and
are not entirely dependent upon thir
tdl uiuSS iOT lHeSc luluSo d HOHidn
must have which are not included in
the schedule of necessary expenses.
1t is the unfortunate girl who does
not have such a home TO supplement
her income who must be considered
in determining the suficiency of
wages.
1t seems clear that out of this in
vestigation and discussion must
come a generally accepted standard
of the necessary minimum wages, be-
low which no girl who supports her
self can be expected to go and re-
main the girl she undoubtedly
earnestly desires to be. To her no
doctrine of averages can be applied.
There is a point below which a girls
wages should not fall. II this point
can be definitely determined and if
employers can be induced to adopt
it as a standard, something which
the kindly and earnest expressions of
most of them indicate is likely, much
good will result from the inyestiga-
ton and agitation.
