FIRST IN RALEIGH j Fire Department Copes With a Cellar Fire 5T0RE OF DEWAR AND WILDER Remarkable Work of tbe Department in not uamasing a single aaca ( of Flour b Water Cellar Flooded. x'roba-ly the cleverest piece of work ever done , the tire department in Ral eigh was winessed this nioniiug in put tiiig out the fire in the cellar of tin wholesale grocery store of Messrs. De war audi Wilder on Martin, strei-t In tween the furniture"- establishment of Thomas and Campbell and the heavy grocery store of Job P. Wyatt au-l Brother. At half after four this morning when -eeper of the Market McRury opemd the market hoiw he thomgiit he detect ed the oilor of soinctiiimg bui-uing. How ever he searched diligently but in vain for lite cause. Linter about five o'clisk a party saw a little smoke issue from a little break iu a wmmMw light in the second story of the touildims (Hviipied by Messrs. Dewar and Wilder. The . re alarm was quickly tiwined in mid the ruanpuiiies pi-ointly responded. 'Hie entire .building was tilled with smoke and it was impossible to enter tlie build ing after lioth doors had lie broken open. Hie inattiral iutrliuatimi, of course, was to turn on the water, but the officers of Raleigh's fire dcpiH'tincnt were too wise for that. They positively forbade any hose being directed towards the build ing until tiu-y could discover exactly where the lire was. Patiently they wait ed over half an hour. But they were not idle. Several of the iireiiinin crawled into Uhe building, laying tlat on their stom achs to prevent sufroeation trom the smoke, and sought for the location or t!he fire. When the elevator in the center of the store was reached they found that the sunoke was rlsSng from the cellar. Ihib was the first time the department CN-er had to cope with a strictly cellar lire but it was done in the most scientific manner. The elevator was lowered and one stream was turned intx the cellar through this opening. Two other holes were then cut into the floor -rad three streams were u puring iuPSipoii the smouldering fire of cotton bugging. Thus the cellar was soon Hooded with water while not a drop of water touched the tfacks of Hour and meal which iillel the store. The lire could not stand such an avalanch of water ami when -the fin was entirely extimguisheil the large cel lar was nearly two feet deep iu water on die average. The work of the tire companies in put ting uivt the tire without damaging u.nj gmsls m the store w as truly remarkable. The building is a part of the Robbius pnnierty iuwl the iluniage, which is uo. cicat, is fully covered by insurance. The stock of Messrs. Dwwutr and Wihl was also insulted. Their damage is givater from smoke than rom fire. In the cellar was one hundred lKiles of cot ton bugging placed there iUiy before yes terday. The lire was couiiued to this Iwiggiiig, ail of which was imore or less ihwuaged. It smouldered slowly sending turth an luummse (liiatitityt of Maes "tary" snioke which w-as absorbed by everything. Even the wrapping paper was turned almost black by it, and the Hour and niieul is supposed to have been ruined by the smoke. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. Dewar is eonfidtwt that the baggiue; could not have been smouldering in th cellar yesterday. If a blaze had started the buildling could hardly have been suved. Besides the bagging there was a quantity of rubbish in tli- cellar which would have burned like ligh wood. . A fire at a .more dangerous point could not have been found. The buildings are thick and it is in the heart: of the city. At just about this prtiwt the" fire started iu the 'CD's which destroyed that pa-t of the city, including the nmrktit house.

Clark Professor of Moral Philosophy and Metaphysics, Yale UnrreMt ty, ia an Interview for tha Sunday World.) "To call this fanatic sect by tha name of Christian Scientists la a thing against whs CD every Christian should protest. The dignity of the name ts mlslsadlna;. ton cannot combat such fanaticism with argument, for this only strengthans tmeir position. It is little short of biaa phemy to make such a statement as ths following: "Christian Science and Chris tianity are one;' 'God la tha principls of unrutian ssc.ince, amd as tbera la but one God ths re can be but one principle ia this science.' "Ths tuperstitions Involved In many of thess practices are centuries old and break cut annw from tuaa to tuna. There has always been some form of mot a I theraputics in existence. This csn be seen in the practices -of Jogi in India - and in the Temple of Dreams of Greece amd Egypt. The modern, form of many of tneif practices is only a modification of the principles of sorcery and witch craft among savage and uncultured peo ple. By such means ths Indian medicine man maintains undisputed power aaaonc the weak-minded and auparstittoiu mem bers of his tifte. "Such beliefs are in iwasurt the outgrowth of fundamental taaturea u our social condition. There la a raise k our country, which is rapidly arowfcve. that is willing- to take up with soy fad or fancy that appeals to them, through its mystery. They have IsWora, aaunsy and a lack of education which makes them a prey to this sort ef thing, and they are willing to take up with these no tions to supply their lack of real knowl edge. "The evils that are constantly arising from the practices of these people, who claim ihat mind is all powerful to euro organic lesions in the body should be as far as possible disc outraged and even re pressed But the best method of proce dure is probably not to add new saws snd regulitiona to our already aeewan lating mass of intricate statutes. It la better to make nee of our sxistsng laws, without special legislation to suit the case of so-called Christian Science. "The limitations that hew already been fixed for those who can hold office hours and receive fees for the practice of healinz should be mure rigidly en forced. The medical profession, to-day la full of its abuses, and these deserve ae . much attention as the practices of ths so-called Christian Scientists. "There can be no doubt that psycholo gical science favors affirming the reality, unity and spirituality (or Don-matarlaii-ty) of the human mind. Hare Is a foundation m truth for eome of tha Im portant positions of these extremists. It le scarcely necessary to orgs tha fact that states of consciousness are not Iden tical In nature with molecular agitations in the higher centres of the brain. Not even the most pronounced materialist would venture to affirm their Identity. Minute movements or chemical and vital changee in the molecules of the cerebral mase differ aa phenomena from states of the sensations. For In truth the claim of the mind to real and Independent ex istence is in some respects unique. It ie far stronger than the cMm which can be made for any of the existence with which physical science deals. "The facta which even these fanatics insist on bringing: to the front hava a certain legitimate bearing upon specula tive inquiries into the first and last things of Mind its origin and deetmy, its morality or corruptibility. Physiolo gical psychology cannot explain the be ing of mind ae arising out of the devel opment of the physical germ which the bodily members unfold themselves. It shows no decisive reason against tha be lief that such n on-material and real 'unit-being aa the mind as should exist in other relations theft those of Ita-aeV , mitted dependence open the sUmjiimsa snd functions of the body.
