DOROTHY DIX
And Her Charming Collection Of
Fables

The New York Journal for year or
more has been daily adjoining its editorial
page with Fable for the Elite" They
were written by Dorothy Dix, a name
familiar to Southern readers through her
long connection with The New Orleans
Picayune. These fables were very
bright and were read with pleasure by
thousands of people. Some OF them
have been reprinted In book from by r.
r. Fenno e. Co., Of New York with illus
trations by Swinnerton. They are worth
preservation in permanent form and
those who wish to be edited will fine
q copy a pleasant companion.
In real life Dorothy Dix is Mrs. Eliza
beth M. Gilmer and in recent inter-
view In the Fourth Estate she gave the
following personal sketch of herself:
"I was born and raised on big race
horse farm In Montgomery County, Tenn,
where I grew UP with thoroughbred colts
and little negroes, the two things really
understand best, and that I can never
refrain from writing about long at
time" she said

called Dorothy Dix Talks which was a
bright and breezy running comment on

MARKED IMPROVEMENTS.
Driveway Clear Through to Madisoi
Avenue

The work of opening the driveway il
the market to Madison Avenue has beg1
and is progressing rapidly
The extended driveway will cut OF
twenty feet from the three stores thai
are in the northern portion of the Audi
forum and market building. The pro-
posed driveway has been under discus
sion ever since the market building was
completed ard found to be unsatisfactor,
because a straightway drive did not ex
tend from Monroe to Madison Avenue
The stall keepers in the market made
vigorous complaint of the lack of &C
comodations for the wagons and vehicls
and the Council moved in the matter and
decided that the rear of the stores shout
be cut off and the drive extended on 4,
Madison Avenue. When the propoes.
work is completed the market will have
three wide entrances, one from Madison
Avenue, one from Perry Street and one
from Monroe Street.

HE SOUGHT REST
Wild Leap of Crazy Man From an
 s. P. Car Window.

An insane man whose name could not be learned made things rather lively for himself Monday night be- tween Yuma and Tucson. He had a ticket from San Francisco for Tucson and when it was sold to him he was presumably supposed to be in his right mind. But the nearer to Arizona he got the more crazy he seemed to grow. Finally a brakeman was detailed to sit with him in the smoker and keep an eye open for what he might do.
 He was evidently a miner from his appearance and talk and seemed famil- far with the geography of southern Arizona, the burden of his converse tion being the necessity O: his having to meet a team somewhere or take a long walk.
 While the train was slowing up at station this side of Yuma where the eastbound and westbound trains meet. the brakeman having duties to perform left the man in the charge of another passenger. The latter heard the crazy man mutter something about wanting to get out and take a sleep. The guard tcok his eye off his charge momentarily and when he looked around again was

P. & E. TEMPE BRIDGE
Consideration of Whether It Shall Be
 a Single or Double Structure

The proposition of building a wagon bridge across the Salt river at Tempe in connection with the railroad bridge of the Phoenix & Eastern was formally presented to the board of supervisors yesterday.
 President F. M. Murphy, Superin- tendent w. A. Drake. J. H. Emmert and A. w Edwards, of the s. F. P. I& P, all of whom came down from Pres colt on the early morning train, called on the board in the afternoon They outlined the plan of the railroad com pany for the construction of the bridge, and said that it was proposed, if the county so desired, to build wagon way on each side of the railroad track properly partitioned, of course, one track to be used by those crossing in one direction, the other by the travel CTS in the opposite direction. It is not the desire of the railroad company to make a penny out of the enterprise. The company will have to build a rail- road bridge anyway, and it simply of fers to the county this opportunity 70 construct at the same time the wagon bridge for which there has been more or less agitation in the past. It is pro- posed only to charge the county for the actual expense of construction. This can be arrived at by an estimate on plans for a railroad bridge and another estimate on plans for the double bridge,
