LIBRARY NOTES.

At the regular monthly meeting of the library board on the 5th inst, after the auditing of bills and the usual amount of other routine work, Profes- sor A. K. Stabler was added to the library book purchasing committee. Recent accessions to the library and later orders, include many juvenile books, some scientific, economic, bio graphical and historical works and quite a number devoted to sociology and collateral themes
 Among the more notable volumes purchased are:
 Marsh's Theosanrus of English words; an exhaustive work.
 Cyclopedia of Architecture, Carpentry and building; ten volumes. Cyclopedia of Applied Electricity; six volumes.
 Appleton's Scientific Library; twen- ty-three volumes.
 A set of the International Bible Com mentaries, edited by pr. Charles A. Briggs.
 Arizona Biographies; sumptuously issued, handsomely illustrated volume of nearly twelve hundred pages. It was published in 1902 and is a book of much
  local present day interest as it contains sketches of quite a number of the mem bers of the constitutional convention now in session.
 Many other volumes, including some of the best popular novels, have been ordered and will soon be ready to serve to library patrons
 Under the careful direction and su- pervision of MT. Henry c. Yaeger, president of the library board, MT. Sharpe, the caretaker of the building and park, has after hard struggle sue ceeded in retaining the waste places of the grounds and making the whole park "a thing of beauty" The people of Phoenix have a right to feel proud of their Carnegie library and it's environs.

claims to be so firmly convinced that Belle Fillmore is not dead that he of- fers her fifty thousand dollars to show up before Crippen is hanged
 The English authorities, on the other hand, are fully satisfied of Crippen's guilt, albeit he was con- victed on circumstantial evidence wholly. The evidence even failed to establish the corpus delicti" to ev- erybody's satisfaction. Crippen's friends claim that the few bones found and alleged to be the bones of Crip- pens wife could not be identified. Unless something more tangible than rumor is laid before the American de- partment of state it is not likely that our government will attempt to se- cure a further postponement of the execution.
 But altogether it is an extraordinary case.

The Crippen Case,

Dr. Crippen, the Los Angeles. den- tist, who was to have been hanged yesterday at London for the murder of his wife, an actress known on the stage as Belle Fillmore, has been TO- prieved until the 23rd of this m onth
 Some of Crippen's friends in Amer ica are insisting that Belle Fillmore is not dead; that she was recently in the vicinity of Chicago, and they have implored the state department to intercede with the British govern ment to postpone the hanging of Crippen until it can be ascertained whether Mrs. Crippen in fact is alive
 From the beginning of this sensational case some people have believed that it would be shown in the end that Dr.
 Crippen was not guilty of murder; that his wife, through mixed motives revenge. because of her husbands infatuation for his typewriter, Miss Leneve. and a wish to achieve ad- vertising of a new sort-contrived to make it appear that she had been murdered, and at the last minute would come out of hiding A patent medicine doctor of some renown

COAT CAFES FOR EVENING

The coat capes for evening wear "fiH a long-felt want" to use an old and trite expression. Many women do not like the cape and claim that while it is decidedly pretty and becoming to the girlish figure, the stout or the matronly woman is not at her best in a cape But it is so easy to throw the cape aside and it does not crush the sleeves as does the sleeved even ing coat But the coat cape solves the problem since it is a between measure. The popular coat cape of the season is that with the sleeves and body cut in one piece. It is mi-fitting and shapely, but loose enough not to crush the gown. It is far more becoming and suitable for the matron than is the circular cape
