Blaze Had Its Origin from OVerheated
Stove and Flames Had Evidently
Been Burning Long Time.

Awakened by smoke which was
rapidly filing his bedroom, Joe Site
zaio, Italian miner Of Bellaire, dis
covered his home on South Belmont
street, Bellaire, north Of Finchs run,
in flames. Rushing TO the room oc-
cupied by his family of small chill,
dren, he aroused them and carried
them from the building just az The
flames envcloped the part Of the struc'
ture they were occupying.
The fire had its origin from an over.
heated stove, according 10 the mem.
bers of the Belaire fire department,
and had evidently been burning some
time before its discovery. The alarm
was turned in near midnight.
The building, a one-story affair, was
the property of the Heatherlngton

destroyed. The damage has been esti-
m1ted, including the properly Of The

CHILD LABOR LAW.

The passage of the Child Labor Law may be, as is asserted by it's opponents, purely matter Of politics. But at any rate it is due to manifestation of economic power that reflects itself in the poli- tical world, and compels those who as men might do nothing of the kind, to act for the sake of human ity even while driving a nail or two in their political fences.
 Most interesting is the lineup for and against this bill. Those solons who felt the greater influence of the textile corporations, and those who felt the greater influence of the workers fought against and for it as the case may be.
 The influence of the opponents of child labor won out in the halls of Congress, but the Courts have yet to have their say, and while the Voice of the people may be the Voice of God, it often enough falls upon pretty deaf ears in the courts

THE PASSING OF BACCHUS.

It may not be generally known, but four ffths of the veneration in which the saloon has managed to keep itself in the estimation of civi- lization is not due to any values connected with it as an institution, but to the fact that in Pagan times, Bacchus was a god.
 Archaeologists exploring Greek ruins come ever and anon upon tombstones that bear the inscription Asleep in DionySus", Dionysus be- ing as well as the wine God, also the God of Immortality. That was an interesting symbolism because the ancients saw in the destruction of the grape and in the manufacture from the juices of the crushed, stripped and destroyed fruit po- ample of life after death, they con nected the Wine God with immor- tality and worshipped him with De- meter the divinity of life sustaining Bread at their wonderful mysteries that have never fully been elucidat- ed
 In any event when the christians borrowed the headstone inscription substituting Christ for Dionysus and carrying forward their mystery of Bread and Wine much further we can readily understand that wine itself received quota of it's sancti- fication from ancient organism also that would take some time to over come.
 But in this material age, even a powerful hereditary superstition like the sanctity of wine and the responsibility of it's temples, gives way before a rational consideration of it's obscene properties and its poisonous effects, and so instead oi the Wine God being interpreted as the God of Immortality were we to carry forward the symbolism of the pagans, we would literally identify Bacchus with the divinity of such an abstraction as the extinction of existence and mortality itself.
 As it is, scant attention is paid to an old superstition and the Pass ing of Bacchus at long last comes from the exercise of individual and social intelligence that can afford to destroy itself no longer at the hands of a lNlgering organism.

REAL ESTATE SHARKS.

Because Henry Ford raised the general wages in his establishment in Detroit, real estate owners also, and with even step, increased the rents which they had been demand ing, so that the workers were very little better off.
 The Ford Sociological Department says Within one week of the an nouncement of the Ford profit shar- ing plan, the value of real estate jumped up fifty million in Detroit or the value of the expected distri- button in five years. The main re- suit of the Ford $5 day plan is that living expenses have so in- creased in Detroit that the working man receiving five dollar a day finds that he cannot live as well as he could before the introduction of the profit sharing plan, on $3 day..
 The Chicago Herald asks if there is way out for the workingman.
 But that is really only an incident The entire idea of business is not human welfare but profits and to exert the power that property pos session gives one to extract as much of that profit as possible.
 Under the present system, it is

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.

Tn the year 1867, Congress re- fused to ratify a treaty whereby the Danish West Indies were ac- quired for the sum of $7,500, 900. Later an effort was made to acquire the islands for five millions, but then the Danish parliament refused to listen to the sale.
 Now the price stipulated is S23,OOO, 1000. And the increased price is a demonstration of rise in val ues of West Indian real estate.
 Yet the land in St. Croix, St. Thomas or St. John, the three Danish islands, is no dearer today than some yeasr ago. But the stra- tegic value has been enchanced by the construction of the Panama Canal.
 The islands could well afford to another nation needing place in the sun convenient coaling station, and is dangerously near Puerto Rico to be allowed to be held by even a potential enemy.
 These islands also were at one time regarded as exceedingly profit able. But with the passage of slavery in Danish possessions, in the year 1S4S, the sugar planters alleged that they could not profit ably operate their fields and in con sequence they deserted the land.
 The great factor in reducing the sugar cane culture all over the world however has been the beet sugar industry, and even slave labor could not profitably compete with that
 For the United States the islands represent possessions of no practl- cal worth except as naval posses sions may be of use negatively in
