ations are being made for the meeting g of the teaches association which will be held in Los Angeles shortly after July 4. Before Mrs. Merriman had spent one day in this city she discov- cred that there was something which she thinks is sadly lacking. She be- lieves in the needs of creditable
 public library and she declared her
 self yesterday, saying that she had
 come to Phoenix to live probably some
 time, and she would be pleased to
 identify herself, with any movement
 which would assure the establishment of a good public library.
 A NIGHT OF CONTROVERSY - An epidemic of fighting and peace dis turbance struck the town late on Sat urday night. Two of the most peace able citizens and among the most re- spectable met in front of Wakelins s drug store and proceeded to settle an old dispute vi ct armis. It was net settled, for before the ordeal of muscle could be fully tried bystanders interfered and the controversy was left in much the same shape as in the be- ginning. This insurrection had been hardly quelled before two men on the opposite side of the street got into a
 fight over a matter of 65 cents. That was also dog fall on account of the interference of persons who had no earthly interest in the turmoil There was another meeting between two men in front of a Washington street saloon, but it was not fought to a finish and there were. numberless scraps in the block in. which there was much blood spilled, but unfortunately no fatalities

A SUNDAY FIRE
Three Buildings Were Destroyed or
 Guffed YesterdaY.ssSs E.

The frequent cause. defective 1ile started a fire in the residence of Ed
 ward Marlowe near the corner of Thifd
 avenue and Madison street, yesterday
 morning, which, beside the total de 1 struction Of one house and damage to 1 two others, was attended by two cas-
 ualties. The fire took place shortly after 10 o'clock and it spread with such rapidity that it could not be controlled
 by the fire department, which arrived without delay, until the house of Ed ward Alexander, the first residence on the west, was scorched, and the residence of Mrs. Joseph Stein. the next house east, suffered considerable damage. The hook and ladder ar rived quickly, and it was largely due to the chemical engine that the res idence of MT. Alexander was saved from further damage. Fortunately there was a strong wind which blew from the west This helped to protect the long row of houses extending west in the block.
 E. w Potter and Jesse Hurley of the Scoville plumbing shop arrived soon after the fire started and tried to re
 
 of MT Marlowi It was moved to a door, where it became wedged, leaving Mir Hurley enclosed within the room with no means of escape except screened Nndow The flames were licking ardInd him and the burning roof threatened to fall at any moment. Hurley tore open the screen, but be- fore he. succeeded insescaping through the window he had been badly burned. Parts of his nose and ears were roasted and the flesh of his arms was laid open to the bone He was removed to the Sisters hospital and last night he was resting easily Although it is not thought that his face will be badly dis figured there will be permanent scars. MT. Potter sustained slight injuries. His foot was bruised by the piano.
 The large crowd which had assem- bled was profuse in it's praise of the work done by the department. This was probably the most difficult task which the department has ever en~ countered A few of the most daring fremen were on the roof of Mrs. Stein'S $ house when it seemed that it would certainly collapse.
 MT Marlow was unable to save any of the contents of his house. A smoke forced the members of the family to leave as soon as they were appraised of the fire. The house was built at cost of $1,500 and the ,otal loss was probably s 900. The building was insured for $500 and the furniture for $500.
 Mrs. Stein's residence was insured for $1 800, about cne-half it's value. Most of the furniture was saved. The principal damage was to the roof and 
 The Alexander house was occupied by John H. We.ch and family. Most of the furniture was saved.

What col Waring cid for the streets
of New York. Supt. Doherty has done
for Chicago.
AS Superintendent of the recently
consolidated departments of Streets
and Street Cleaning, Mr.. Doherty has
made many reforms in the construction
and repair of Chicago streets and in
solving the difficult problem of clean
ing the highways of the second largest
city in the country.
Mr.. Doherty is an authority on city
sanitation, the collection and removal
of garbage, and on all matters pertain
ing to the public health. His carefully
considered selection of Pane's celery
compound as the best possible Spring
remedy he could take and carry home
to his family is the recommendation of
as competent a person in such matters
as can be found outside the medical
profession.

heard such playing" 81 can only say

the greatest master of technique but
consummate artist into the ba"-
gain" IAN audience of four thousand
heard him in Carnegie hall New York,

hoarse with enthusiasm" etc, it is not
difficult to understand why all lovers
of music are anticipating his concert
