The Girl Everybody Likes and is
Always Welcome.

From the Toronto Globe.
Girls, you needn't be beautiful to
become general favorites. The plain
est girl ever saw was the favorite in
my native town. Everybody liked
her. Beautiful Oh, no, she is not
beautiful-that is outside, but inside
she is an angel. Nobody thinks of
calling her beautiful. Not one of the
dozen can tell whether her eyes are
black or blue. If you should ask
them to describe her they would only
say, "She is just right" and there it
would end. She is a merry-hearted,
fun-loving, bewitching maiden, with
out spark of envy or malice in her
whole composition. She enjoys her
sels, and wants everybody else to do
the same. She has always kind
word and a pleasant smile for the old
est man or woman; in fact, | can think
of nothing she resembles more than
sunbeam, which brightens everything
1t comes in contact with. All pay her
marked attention, from rich Mr..
Watts, who lives in a mansion on the
after her with an admiring eye and say
to themselves, "She is just the right
sort of a girl" The young men of the
town vie with one another as to who
shall show her the most attention, but
she never encourages them beyond be-
ing simply kind and Jolly, so no one
can call her a flirt; no, indeed, the
young men all deny such an assertion
as quickly as she.
"Do girls love her, tco?" | asked.
eyes, wonderful to relate, girls like
her, too, for she never delights in hurt
ing their feelings or saying spiteful
things behind their backs. She IS al
ways willing to join in their little plans
and to assist them in any way. They
go to her with their love affairs, and she
manages adroitly to see Willie or Peter
and drop a good word for Ida Or Jen-
ME until their little difficulties e all
patched up and everything goes on
smoothly again, thanks to her. Old
ladies say she is delightful The sly
witch, she knows how to manage them.
She listens patiently to complaints OF
rheumatism or neuralgia, and then
sympathizes with them so heartily
that they are more than half cured.
But she cannot always be with US"

eyes. A young man comes from O.
neighboring town after a time and
marries her. The villagers crowd
around to tell him what prize he
has won, but he seems to know it pref
ty we'll without any telling, to judge
from his face. So she leaves us, and
it is not long before we hear from that
place She is there the woman every
body likes.

Two Thousand Miles an Hour.

From the Times of India, March 6.
Recently we referred to the fact Of an
extraordinary brilliant meteor hav.
ing flashed across the sky in this neigh.
borhood and we invited communica,
tions upon it from any who might
have observed it. 1t seems that upon
the same night similar meteor was
observed in England. Now, under or
dinary circumstances, there was moth.
ing notable in this, for meteors are
known to be continually falling it
having been calculated that many
millions of them fall annually TO the
earth. But that one should fall ci
exceeding briliiance, and be described
in almost identical language bycorre
spondents in the Times and by our
selves is worthy OF note and further
inquiry. We recorded that such anne
teor appeared at 1927 in the direc.
tion of east-southeast from Cumballa
Hill, from which place 1t was
seen. 1t was subsequently reported
from Butnagherry that a meteor was
seen there, but to the north. AeT-
respondent wrote us from Mahablesh-
wur, who reported that he saw very
bright meteor at 1:30 llocal tlmel,
but the great difference In TINS p0lnt-
ed to some error in recording tbee exact
appearance, or else proved that It was
some other meteor that was seen. -
England there was a meteor Wnicn
seems to have passed over London
about sos D. M, Greenwich time, OF
9:55 p. m. Bombay time. And y ap-
pears to have been travelling east wasd;
1t does not seem beyond the bonds q
possibility that the meteors seen mere
and in England were the same. ins
absolute difference in time would tnus
be two hours and thirty-two minutes,
which is equal to the time taken 70
travel the distance between these TWO
points. Assuming this distance 20 ~
about 8, 500 miles, the rate at which ing
meteor was travelling was about thlrey- "
five and a half miles a minute IN the
earth's atmosphere. The rate T., g.
which meteors travel in intersteilar
space is about forty to fifty miles Pc
second. So that the difference De.
tween these two rates OF speed shows
the retardation due to the eartn ae
mosphere, always going upon tng 9,a' aS'
sumption that the meteor seen u na,s .s
land was the same as that seen nere' r
To settle this point it will be ol l1l.s.. y -.
est to know if any one between ~, no,aa =
bav and London noticed the brillian!
meteor OF January 16, and it woulo
also be interesting to know i any ons
saw it on the other side OF India ano s
further east. Though meteors or ms !,
teorites fall in such great numbers :
is very rarely that their history caa a.
be traced, and it appears that . s;,,, sss
vice may be done to science by tracip'
out the path Of this particular one, ! ,
so be that two points in its Journey
have been fixed.

An American Princess.

Representative w. d. Kelley, OF
Pennsylvania, has gone to New York
to meet his daughter, who has been in
Germany about three years. Before
going she was simply Florence Kelley;
she returns as Princess Neschnewetsky,
and society is eagerly awaiting to see
this real live Princess. Her husband

30, KISGLY OAK"

o kingly Oak! The Druids made
Thy trunk their altar! Nations prayed
To thee as to god, and brought
The spoils of battles fiercely fought,
And it beneath thy branches laid.
And, did Roman soldier aid
A fallen comrade with his blade,
Thy leaves TO bind his brow were wrought,
Q kingly Oak!
Nor priest nor worshipper invade,
To-day, thy cool expanse OF shade;
The heads that wore thy crowns are
naught
But ashes by the winds unCaught;
Glad children haunt thee, unairaid,
0 kingly Oak!

WI .lt to Europe she was regular at
tendant at the sessions of Congress.
She had the reputation of being the
ablest politico-economist in the coun-
try, and never let an opportunity
pass when she could add to her knowl-
edge, even ii she had to listen to the
dry Congressional speeches. A long
speech on tariff matters seemed to give
her infinite delight, especially if it
touched on her fathers hobby-pig-
iron. SOCKS problems was her chief
study In order to investigate theso-
eial condition OF the German Empire
she went to Heidelberg, and, as a re-
suit Of the study, we see occasional
press letters on life in Germany. She
Is now studying household economy,
as well as other subjects. Not all her
eagerness of knowledge could save her
from the common weakness of falling
in love. After declaring again and
again that she was welded for Life to
study, and after refusing halt dozen
OF Philadelphia eligible youths, shefell
a victim to the princely charms OF
Neschnewetsky. 1t was case of mu-
tual love at first sight. They met at
the university of Heidelberg, where
both were studying; they conned over
economic problems together, and de-
cided to investigate the conditions of
domestic bliss, In a purely scientific
way OF course, OF course II the Prin-
cess would intersperse her learned es-
saws on the laboring classes with oc-
casional articles on domestic economy,
including the management of babies
and the making Of pie, she might gain
4 wider circle than she now has.

A Challenge.
To the Chronicle:

To the Chronicle:
have been quite interested in the
past fifteen years in noting the ebb and
flow of public opinion in regard to
what we might call the Princeton R. R.;
in its features of local and through
road. Just now we seem to be at a cri-
sis in its affairs, and public interest is
excited in regard to it it being i'm
portant that our business men should
calmly consider what are the best inter
ests of our town. II the press will
throw open its columns, will invite a
discussion OF the subject in all of its
leading points. A written argument is
better than a spoken one, as it is down
in black and white, and can be referred
to more clearly. Such discussion
should be Tree from all partisan feeling
and all personalities. No assertions
should be made, that full proof cannot
be given OF their correctness. 1t should
be plain business discussion Tor the
better informing of ourselves as to what
is best for the business interests of our
town. That all the different phases OF
the question may be brought out, | will
for my part ADVOCATE First, that it is
best for GAINESVILLE that the road should
go through to Princeton, and better
still to the Ohio river, If GAINESVILLE
should have controlling interest in the
road. Second, If GAINESVILLE cannot OBJ
tain the controlling interest, it is best
for us that our Louisville & Nashville
r. r., should have it than any foreign
corporation. In the discussion, if one
is made, attacks should be made upon
no ones opinions; clear business argu-
ment only is needed to bring points Of
interest out. Respectfully,
M. H. CLARK.

coIored Concert.

To the Chronicle.
The concert that was given last week
for the benefit OF the West Tennessee
Institute, was quite success. The solo
which was rendered by Mrs. DIR. Brown
was very interesting one. Her words
were as plain as talking. Also Miss
Matte Boyd, her voice was as sono-
rous and clear as could be. Wesley
Smiths solo was sung with great ex-
preston. The entire concert was good,
and we hope Wesley won't let that be
his last. Y

The Building Boom.

GAINESVILLE is enjoying building
boom, a kin to that which character
lied the city in 1878, just after the fire.
We understand that there are now 80
Tor 40 new houses under contract, sever
|al fine buildings awaiting the burning OF
brick. Brick has been very scarce and
hard TO get. The sale OF the old acade-
my was a God send to the building en-
|terprise, the many small cottages and
frame buildings needing few thous-
and brick for foundations and Chin
speys. 1t was thought that Mr.. George
Cooke, who is one OF our most enter
prising citizens, would loose money on
the purchase Of the old house at 5000,
but it appears now that he will make
from $4,000 to $4,000 by the transaction.
AZ win have fully $1,000 profit left from
th vsale OF brick and old lumber, be-
sidss brick enough left to build two six
room residences, and lumber for one
large eight room house which he has
commenced on 9TH and Madison street.
Mr.. Mike Northington is preparing the
foundation for fine residence on the
lot purchased off the academy grounds
on Madison street, for which Mr.. John
Bradley is now burning the brick, G.
B. Wilson & Co. having the contract for
the building. Smith, Clark & Co have
just completed handsome residence
for Mr.. G. N. Byers, on the corner Of
Commerce and 9Th streets, Cobb lot,
and are now building neat cottage for
Mr.. Ingram on Madison street. Mr.
Kincannon has about completed two
business houses on public square, and
lhas commenced three cottages below
the Exchange, all for rent. Mr.. Akin
son and Mr.. Charlie Hodgson have
moved into their new houses, both
pretty homes. Mr.. Charley Atwood
and Policeman Smith have about COM
pleted neat cottage each on Main st.
Mr.. Will Lyons has contract for real
handsome cottage on his little farm adj
joining Greenwood, which will be an
ornament to that street. Rev. Mr.
Brigham, Pastor OF the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, will have pretty
parsonage on the church grounds 'front.'
ing on 9th street opposite the Ring
place. Prof. Parker has just completed
his fourth cottage near passenger depot
and they all have tenants. There are
still number that we cannot call to
mind, besides the colored people are
/ building many small cottages and the
prospect OF some extensive warehouse
building. In addition to all this, Mr.,
E. Click is greatly improving his store
house at No. IL, Franklin street, and
will make it full three stories with an
iron front.

THE B00DLER'S' TRIAL
Squealer Duffy Creates q Sensation.
He Committed Perjury Because
NewcOmb Told Him To.
He has Poor Memory and is not Sure
but He Wac Misinformed on Some
Points In the Late Trial.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1o.--To-dsy's session
OF the McQuade trial opened late.
"Squealer" Duffy was again placed in the
chair to be dashed by his merciless tor
mentor, Newce NIB. Duffy thought he
and Fullgraff had talked over what they
were TO say on McQuade's trial In Police
Inspector Byrne's Office previous to the
first trial, but he had not done so. On
that occasion Fullgraff refreshed his
memory on certain points.
Redirect examination was begun by
Nicoll in trying to extricete the testimony
Of the witness from Its muddled condi-
ton. To question as to whether Duffy
had sworn falsely on the first trial, the
witness replied that he had made mis-.
takes, as he had poor memory. "Mr
Duffy spoke up the recorder, "yester-
day you testified that you swore falsely
before the senate committee because you
were told to so testify. Who told you
what to testify2"
"Mr Newcomb," answered Duffy.
Newcomb arose, his face pale and his
lips blanched. "At this point" he utter.
ed, "of the case / ask permission to take
the witness stand in my own behalf in re-
gard TO this NATTER

recorder.
"All in good time"
Gen. Tracy arose and demanded tina
his associate be permitted to defend him
self on so foul charge. The recorder
said MIR. Newcomb should be allowed K
make statement but he would not have
any speech making now.
Duffy was then dismissed.

Lawyer Newcomb showed that he re
