beuf, is not quite twenty three years of age.
Those who expect to find in this grand
daughter Of a queen and daughter of a
princess any Of the naughty grace, the Sc
we're reticence, the strict attention to the
rules of high-breeding and etiquette that
one naturally associates with ones ideas of
royal or imperial blood, have only to look
at her portrait, as published by Dentu, to
find themselves undeceived. A small head,
covered with short chestnut curls like those
Of boy, irregular and saucy features, an
arm planted akimbo on one hip, a soft felt
hat in the other hand, a goose-head UNI
brella leaning against a chair as accessory
to the picture, all go to make up type
very different from the imagined reality.
The bar-sinister on her escutchson, traced
there by her paternal grandmother, seems
to have exercised baleful influence over
her life.
She has been spoiled and petted beyond
measure by her mother, whose darling she
has always been. She was a mers infant
when her father died, and her pet name Of
"Bebs" seems to have chung to her, half ex-
cusing the eccentricities of her existence
She is said by her intimate friends to have
the best heart and the widest head in the
world. Her life is a steeplechase in pursuit
81 pleasure She cares little or nothing fos,
the more formal amusements of society,
finding local balls and operas and evening
receptions anything but amusing. Her
dogs, her horses, her drives in the Bots are
varied by her artistic labors. for she is de-
voted to painting.
She is an accomplished billiard player
and "crack shot" with the pistol, a grace
full fencer and an excellent musician, her
favorite instrument being the violin, though
the piano, harp and guitar are not neglected
by her. But OF all her occupations she likes
best to drive herself in the Bots with hei

Maurice B. Flynn.

The investigation by Mayor
Grace, Of New York, Of charges
brought against Rolin III. Squire,
commissioner of public works in
that city, has resulted, up to the
present stage, in the indictment of
Squire, jointly with Maurice B.
Flynn, on the charge of conspiracy.
Hubert o. Thompson, lately deceas-
ed, is named in the indictment as a
fellow conspirator. The indict-
ment is an exceedingly long pro-
ductlon, Of which the substance is
that the three persons named in it
made together a corrupt bargain,
Squire promising, in consideration
of the influence of the other two be-
ing given him to procure his. APP
pointment to the Office he now
holds, to let Flynn virtually con
troll the department of public works.
Flynn is a weslthy contractor and
enough has been said to suggest the
possibility of the judicial inquiry in
which he is interested.
Maurice B. Flynn is the son of
an Irish farm laborer residing at
Maiden, Columbia county, New
York, where he was horn on Nov.
3, 1848. He worked hard when

admirers say, could hold his own

A Pioneer Gone.

Soloman Davis, near Lynnville
died peacefully at his home at the
ripe old age of SO years, 5 months
and IL days, Friday morning at 6
o'clock. He. was in usual good
health and attended the election
and voted the regular democratic
ticket which he had done for 81
years without fail. On his return
home he was taken with kidney
trouble which he bore heroically.
He was born in Stokes county, N.
c., in 1898. He came to Giles
county and married in 1928. The
next year the lots were sold in Pu-
laski. This country was one vast
cane break, full of bears, wolves,
deer and wild turkeys. The near
est mill was miles below Franklin
where he went often as a mill boy,
40 miles. He had vivid recollec-
ton of the war of 1912 and the
many fights the Indians gave them.
He was a great admirer of General
Jackson of whom he had seen so
much. He took great interest in
IA in the election of Polk who was
his personal friend and he long car
ried a knife that had belonged to
Polk. He was opposed to the late
war but when the shock came he
was enlisted heart and soul and
spent much time in the camps with
the soldiers. He lost a noble son
on the sanguinary field of Chicka-
manga. He only attended school
three months but by application he
was thoroughly posted on all topics
of the day. He was a great friend
of education and everything that
tended to make men better. He
married Parmelia Carter with whom
he lived happily for more than fifty
years. She died in 1880. He
never Joined the church but lived a
moral and upright life and express
ed himself ready and willing to die.
His recollection of old times was
vivid and interesting. He could
havewritten a book of "reminiscences
that would have been an acquisi-
ton to the knowledge of what pri-
vations the old pioneers went through |
in transforming the country into |
the happy condition ofhappy homes
from a wild wilderness full of saw
age men and beast. We will long |
cherish his memory. A FRIEND.

Rev. Geo. "a. Handbook.

There is co'or for the presump-
ton that the Rev. George G. Had
dock, recently shot dead in Sioux
City, was the victim of conspira-
cy. He had been the prosecuting
witness in a large number of liquor
cases which had been brought be-
fore a local judge. and was a man as
persistent as fearless in pursuing
what he considered to be his duty.
His life had been threatened fire.

George C. Haddock was born at
Watertown, N. Y, in the year 1881.
He received a fair education st the
Black River Institute at that place,
where he was an industrious and
exemplary student. After learning
the printing business he worked as
journeyman in various places for
some years. He then settled down
at Beaver Dam, Wis, where he pub
iished a paper. This was in 1855
four years after his marriage. In
1868 he entered the Methodist min
istry, at Port Washington, Wis
de has subsequently filed several
appointments in that state. In
1880 he was appointed to Burling
ton, Ia. After serving in that
charge and at Fort Dodge, in Octo-
Der, 1885, he removed to Sioux
City, where he fell martyr to his
principles.
The deceased was a man of pow
erful physique, able on all occasions
to defend himself against a bruta
attack. 1t is related of him thai
eight or nine years ago while
he was advocating temperance il
Sheboygan, Wis, he was waylaid by
five or six men, who all attacked
him at once with the intention o.
giving him a sound thrashing. AL
though surprised by the attack
Mr.. Haddock quickly rallied and
placing himself against a fence
knocked his assailants down as fast
as they came up. Finally, con
vinced that they had undertaken q
bigger contract than they bsrgained
for, the roughs fed. At another
time, while preaching on temper
ance in the interior of Wisconsin
Mr.. Haddock made remarks which
aroused the ire of the village
blacksmith to such an extent tha
he waited for him till the meeting
was out, and then undertook tC
thrash him. A rough-and-tumblt
fight ensued, in which the black
smith wss badly worsted. The
blacksmith later became a total alb
stainer, and is now one of the mos

Charles Stewart Parnell is the sub
ject of brilliant article in the Septem-
Der number of Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly, illustrated by series of ex-
quisite pictures of AvOndale, the home
of the greatest Irish leader after O'Con-
nell in this century. Mrs. c. Ingersoll
Cara describes, with pen and pencil,
the charming land and sea scapes at
Erie, the ancient Presque' lie. Mr..
Wymper tells about "De sign in Feath-
ers." Col. Charles Chaille Long, the
well-known explorer, treats US to an
off-hand sketch OF experience in Bur-
NAH. Edmond Mallet, the leader of
French Canadians in this country, tells
the story of "The Early Days of Nom
treal," and enriches it with attractive
illustrations. "Pasteur's Life and La
bors" needs no commentator. "F'oot-
prints of Jeanne dare" takes US to
the scenes connected with her wonder
full career; and the American Giaeo-
melli, w. H. Gibson, tells of "Some
Common Dangerous Plants" These
striking articles. with stories by Prof
