Mr.. Tillman has had his greatest OPP

Tillman Is nothing If not original
and picturesque. He can say things

came to the senate theS sticklers for
senatorial propriety, like the late

Senator Plat OF Connecticut, would
take Tillman to task for his almost
brutal form OF speech when referring

be good, but on the next occasion his
temper would get the best Of him and
he would spit out words that were pa

allowed his own sweet way, unless he

Mr.. Tillman is now at home in his

for reelection next year, and already
considerable opposition has developed.

you that 1t Is the only sure road to the

parents OF likely youth discover that
his tastes lie in other directions, for
the ministry or medicine, or bridge
building. or horse shoeing, they select
for him the noble profession Of the
law, confident in the knowledge that In

to fall foul of trouble. but In one case
the calm judicial mind bids him pass it
over, and in the other the hustling at

has been delving bids him take his
medicine coolly. As one of our emil

law was made for slaves and he
proved 1t. The law originally was In

HOW TO BRIDGE THE DEPOT
is PERPLEXING PROBLEM
SOUTHERN PACIFIC OBJECTS TO
FOOT CROSSING
Property Owners Want to Avoid a
Two=Block Detour and Some
Sort of Short Cut Is to Be
Adopted

The Southern Pacific has refused to
allow a foot bridge to be constructed
through the new depot which it pro-
poses to erect on the site of the old
one and for which purpose it has asked
the city to abandon that portion of
Fifth street between Central avenue
and the entrance to the Arcade depot.
Property owners east of the Southern
Pacific tracks appeared before the
board of public works two weeks ago
and agreed to allow this portion of
Fifth street to be abandoned without
protest if the Southern Pacific would
agree to build some kind of passage
way through the new depot so that a
detour of two blocks would not be
necessary for pedestrians in crossing
from one side of the tracks to the
other.
The representative of the Southern
Pacific agreed to take the question up
with the authorities and have the plans
for the new depot include an overhead
bridge across the tracks.
This was refused, and the board of
public works has taken under consider
alton the advisability of abandoning
Fifth street.
