The New York papers chronicle the death of Mr. J. Ross Dix, whose real name was George Spencer Phillips, an erratic Englishman and a clever writer for the book publishers, the magazine and the newspapers. Mr. Phillips died in destitute circumstances and was buried by charitable aid, after having been cared for freely by his landlady, a poor widow.
