Temperament

From The London Times.

From The London Times.
At an inquest held the other day upon
an unfortunate opera singer who had
died of blood poisoning while insane his
Insanity was said TO have begun in a
nervous disorder which, in his doctors
opinion, was due to his artistic tempera-

very common complaint, or distinction,
nowadays; and you need not be an artist
TO have it. Indeed, it is usually con-
sricuous not SO much in artists as in
people who would like to be artists, but
unfortunately are incapable of producing

has an artistic temperament at all, can

BIG new STREET PROPOSED
Mayor Wants Thoroughfare Be-
tween Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

Relieving that it is Improvement
bound to come. on account Of the ihcieas-
ing congestion on Fifth and sixth avenues
Mayor Gaynor yesterday suggested the cut
ting through of hundred-1ooe 'ioi
oughfare half way between ana ruiinii's
parallel to these two avenues from if.i'
street TO seth street. He is not inchneo ~
take any other step than to tnro" OUT INC
suggestion until such time as public op'n-
ion is expressed.
A rough estimate of the assessed Valu-
alton of the property that would nave 10 oe
taken for such an avenue is $oe"o"''
The necessary expense in opening and I'M
proving such a street would be severai
million dollars more.
Mayor Gaynor proposes that the cost DC
borne by the property benefited, ana oe-
SJares that the value OF such properly
should be increased more than double the
amount of assessment.
Men familiar with real estate conditions
said Yesterday they were inclined to thihk
that much opposition would develop TO such
a. proposition on the part of large inter-
ests whose property would have TO De
taken.
Among the large buildings which lie IN
the way of the proposed street are Slesel-
Cooper in 18th street: the church OF st.
Francis Xavier in 18th street; the Lyon
loft building, assessed for 100000, In lsth
street: Stern Brothers store. In 23d street.
the Gilsey House, Proctor's Fifth Avenue
Theatre and Wallacks Theatre, on Broad
way; the Gregorian Hotel, in 3oth street,
the United Engineering Building, in 5sth
street: the Engineers Club in 4oth street;
the Yale and the New York Yacht clubs, In
44th street; the home of James Gordon
Bennett, in 47th street; the new home of
Henry Clews. in 51st street. and the Catho-
lie Club. in 59th street.
Four solid blocks would be taken out
of Broadway by the diagonal crossing OF
such a street On the east side it would
take up the blocks from 2Sth to 30th streets
and on the west side from 9th to 18th
streets
The Mayor said yesterday that the city
had been laid out wrongly in the begin
ming. as the long blocks should have run
from north to south, instead of from east
to west. with short blocks running north
and south The width Of the blocks be-
tween Fifth and Sixth avenues is from SoC
to 900 feet.
The proposition to make another avenue
| in this part of the city was considered by
the Board of Aldermen some years ago. but
was abandoned because of the cost.
| The first criticism of Mayor Gaynor's
rlan was made last evening at meeting
of the United Real Estate Owners Asso

Literary Netvs and Criticism

volumes in the department OF nction,
embracing works by Dickens, Thacheras'
Charlotte Rronts, Hawthorne, baizac
end the elder Dumas, are too famfilar 10
excite comment. but the fine thing ABOUT
"Everyman's" is its inclusion OF much
in graver literature. not only the obvious
classics, but books that easily enough
escape the attention of the general
reader Thus, in the present instalment
along with Florio's Montaigne. and such
masters as Plutarch, Herodotus and
Gibbon, we have Count Lutzow's His
tory of Bohemia Hazlitt's English
Comic Writers" Dr. Sebastian Evans S
High History of the Holy Grail, and
so on through a rich list. Biography
travel science, philosophy and theology
find place in the series; there are vol
umes of juveniIia and there are even

of the workmanship bestowed upon
these inexpensive volumes, which have

but IL is always a pleasure to reiterate
approval of so thoroughly beneficent a
scheme. 1t goes on, too, indefinitely.
''Everyman's" already includes a large
library and periodically its scope is gen
erously extended.
Mr. Anthony Hope Hawkins is
writer who has no illusions as to the
practical side of the literary life. He
observed in q public speech the other
day that some authors make money,
but he added, they are very few, and.
broadly speaking, the chances of large
income are so very small in authorship
as compared with other professions of at
all the same rank, that one may say
that the man who commences as author
and intends deliberately TO devote his
life to that occupation, if he does not
turn his back altogether on the prospect
of pecuniary gain. at all events gives
it a very secondary place in his scheme
of life The novelist ended by declar-
ing that when a man has once got into
authorship there seems to be no known
means of getting him out of if. He is
always on the edge of writing his great
book. That will-o'- -the-wisp leads him
deeper and deeper into the mire."
