PHASES OF LIFE.

There are probably very few people
who make any pretensions whatever to
being outside the pale of what is termed
the great unwashed" who have not
heard that well-worn quotation begin
ming with "Music hath charms" nor
will many dispute its truth, or if they
did an afternoon with Danz's orchestra
would teud to somewhat shake their
adverse opinion.
Occupying point of vantage at Har-
monia hall yesterday afternoon, sat a
couple whose appearance would indi-
cate that they belonged to the mystic
circles of the 400.
During one of the tenderest strains Of
melody, when the audience was unusu-
ally silent, the following conversation
took place between them:
She-lSn't it beautiful? l think Mr.
Danz is lovely performer, he seems to
get so much expression out of the IN
strument; don't you think SO?
He listening to the muSic)-Yes.
She-What splendid large audience
they have. l am sure it must pay them
wonderfully. Oh, seeI there's Mr..
W with that j girl; thought
hOrrid bonnet she has on; and her hair
is so red to look well with that scarlet
plume. Don't you think SO?
He-I beg pardon; yes.
She-HOw beautifully that man ac-
companies on the harp. do so dote on
that harp music. Oh, there's Will!
You know he wanted to escort me here
this afternoon, but | told him l didn't
care to 90. He'll be awfully mad at
you. There's that horrid S. girl
with him, too. shall never speak to
him. l never did fancy her, did you?
He "a little impatientlyeEr yes.
She-Oh! you hOrrid boy. | am sur
priSed at you. There, they're playing
something from RubenSten. how do
love his music, it is such grand medley
of sound. What grand finish that
was. Now they're going TO play the
Tarantelle. l am just crazy about music,
are not you?
He-No. don't fancy it especially.
but it interests me. L like to listen to
it, but l can't say that am a connoisseur.

1t is an exceedingly cold day when
the average Minneapolis gamin is not
ready at an instant's notice with an APP
pr0priate repartee. A man was leading
Shetland colt along Eighth street the
other day when he was accOSttd by one
of these juveniles, who asked him what
he would take for the lilliputian animal,
that was not much larger than a kitten.
"What do you want of it?' asked the
owner.

Henry Lee and Miss Seligman, to-

The play deals with the fortunes and

TOWN TOPICS.

1t is an easy thing to preach upon
''faith, hope and charity" in severalty,
when one can afford TO spend something
carnal appetite in rent and grocers'
bills; but it illustrates the fact that
charity begins at home, while faith
hangs out on the doorstep, and hope is
relegated to South Minneapolis.

Architect Burlington is racking his

LOTS WIFE.
Rev. ID. j. BurreIl Uses Her as an
Example of DisOhedienoe


At Westminster Presbyterian church
yesterday Rev. D. j. Burrell preached
from the text: Remember Lots wife"
Luke xvii, 80. The speaker began with
an historical introduction, in which he
offered no explanation of the turning of
Lots wife into a pillar of salt, merely
remarking that Christ evidently be-
lieved the story, and that ought to be
enough for US. The word 'remember''
suggests an admonition. We are to
avoid the sin that was committed by
Lots wife. What was that sin?

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
A Sad Sequel to Sunday Hunting
Expedition.

Alva F. Jamison. employed in the
Manitoba railroad yards, was out hunt
ing yesterday near Cedar lake. He sat
down on a bridge to rest, when In
some way his shotgun slipped out
of his hand, and, the trigger catching on
board, the piece was discharged, the
contents of both barrels striking him in
the stomach. His companion endeav-
ored to procure help and relieve his
suffering, but nothing could be done,
and the unfortunate man died at 9
O'Clock, two hours after he was shot.
His remains were brought to the city,
and taken to his home at 91S Emerson
avenue north. Jamison was twenty-five
years old and unmarried.

Bristol COurier,l
Appointment gentleman in Middle Tennessee
has just written to one OF our citizens letter
in which he says:
The Johnson City people are rousing the
World in New York to get the Danvile road,
and in Nashville to get the Tennessee Midland.
"lf the people of Bristol will only wake up
and do their duty In the next ninety days they
Will have city of thirty thousand IN the next
two years, The old saying, viz, "You have to
so from home TO learn the news" is especially
true OF Bristol.
I'VE that are outside lookers-on, can see
Bristels opportunity better than her people can.
johnson City is sleepless and has
her paid agents in New York and Nashville.
Don't let her steal your birthright,"
1t was very kind in that gentleman
to warn Bristol OF its danger, but the
warning came little 200 late. 1t is a
historical fact that Johnson City never
gets left when it takes notion to
build or secure a railroad, and no
place knows this fact better than Bris-
tol. 1t always catches on, but too late,

Why Did They Change ?

coating Flizabethton a long time, pre-
paratory to swallowing it, but they
flushed Their game this week One
OF the huge enterprises they intended
to locate in Elizabethton was q Bank,
The lot had been contracted for and
all arrangements perfected at least so
the unsuspecting Elizabethtonians be-
lieved. The iron safe had even been
shipped, and number of gentlemen
had their endorsers ready to "patron.
ize home industry" Imagine their
surprise when day or two ago the
sale was loaded on the train and ship,
ped away, and with it went the pros,
poets for a bank. The Elizabethtou
people were angry at such proceed
ings, and justly so. They believed the
Bristol people were acting in good
faith and were really interested in the
place, and when they found out it wa;

at Elizabethton and get Garter coun
ty to v6te aid to a railroad, that Bris
tol must have before it can compete
with johnson City, they denounced
the schemers in strong terms.
The question at once arises, if 6
bank would pay in Elizabethton a few
weeks ago, why will it not now, anC
why have these gentlemen changed
their minds2 The Elizabethton PEG
pie are awakening to a realization O
the fact that all the interest Bris

Opera House.

DIR. Charles B. Gibson, OF Chicago
was in the city several days last week
He bought several lots while here and
will build a large Opera House on
Second avenue adjoining the Carne.
gle Hotel. The building will be LOOK
$50 and three stories high. Dr. Glib
son showed the COMET an outline
sketch OF the interior OF the building
and some Of the original features pc
culiar to its location. The entrance
will be on the side opening into the
court in front of the hotel so as not tc
interfere with the store-rooms on
Second Avenue. There will be GOV.
cred entrance leading from the hotel
to the second floor Of the Opera House
so that theatre parties can 60 from
the hotel and AVOID the expense o.
carriages. The building will be very
handsome in every particular. The
parquette will be s0xS5 and the stage
As feet deep. 1t is estimated to cos
about $4,000.

The Situation.

All johnson City wants is "fair
deal" and if it can't get what it strives
for it will not be mad at the town that
beats it. A certain village tried to
take the Three C's away from us after
it had been Matched here and belong.
ed to us because our people did the
incubating, and it left no stones I'M
turned in its effort 1t failed but we
have not forgotten the attempt. We
did not object but rather liked the
sport, it made our people come to the
scratch and they were benefited. But
now that we are trying to get road
that that village wants we are called
obstructionists and talked about by
some of the papers as people who
are trying to tear down other towns in
order to build ours up. Why this diff
erence?
Nothing is farther from the truth
than such an idea. Johnson City has
always acted on the square and has
simply won her merits. What We
don't want is not worth having and
what we want we work for. We want
the Atlantic Danville and Tennessee
Midland railroad to meet here and
we did not think it worth while to
speak to this "neighboring village
about the matter as it could neither
help nor hinder us in our decision. A
little wholesome competition never
hurt any town and if it can't compete
with Johnson City it ought not try to
ridicule us out of the race. We are
in to win and the town that goes I'M
der the wire ahead OF us will have to
beat her past record and present gait

The Milk in the COcOanut.

Heretofore the Bristol papers have
talked a great deal about what the
building of the B. E. & N. G. road will
do for Elizabethton, intimating that
all the new enterprises would be es-
tablished in the Watauga valley if
Carter county would only vote aid
But now in order to get the Bristol
people to vote $4,000 another tune

What is our connection with the coal fields
worth to us unless we build to the iron ore?
When the business men of Bristol are willing
to subscribe over one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars to Construction Co, and feel conf
dent we have other enterprising business men
that will increase this fund to two hundred
thousand dollars, can ii be possible that we
have business man or laborer that will fail To
come to the polls on the 9th of March and cast
his vote for the subscription of forty thousand
dollars, to be expended right at your doors and
ten times as much mOre2
Bristol has never enjoyed the benefits arising
from the building OF road by free labor; this is
what we need boom with the business men
and idle laborers. Tooppose this road is to OPP
pose the only hope Bristol has of ever becoming
a manufacturing CENTER and for this reason
but little has been said about the importance OF
voting Tor the subscription, not suppOSing We

this fact. The building of this road will be an
inducement for other roads to connect with us

H. G. Hart left last Saturday night
for Nashville, to attend the extra SEES
sion Of the legislature. He was sworn
in as the representative OF Washing
ton county, Monday. He has pre-
pared two bills to be acted upon al
this session. One provides for the is
suance of $4,000 worth of bonds fol
school purposes in Johnson City and
the other for $4,000 for street i'm,

nerve for town to shoulder debt Of
$4,000, but Johnson City has got it,
and will display it when the election
is held. We will not do like neigh

Not GObbled Yet.

Some very amusing things are some
times seen in newspapers, but it re-
NAMED for the crank at the head OF
the Herald and Tribune, during one
of his FITS, to spring the best joke OF
the season. In a long article last week
he said it was the current report that
the Three C's road had passed into
the hands OF the E. T., V. & G. com
pany, and he also stated that "the
Three C's goes nowhere-will not for
months yet = never, If reports are
true" 1t is the "current" belief that
this same man is so near-sighted and
color-blind that he can't distinguish
truth from falsehood, and we would
have paid no attention to his rawlings
knowing as we do, his motives fol-
writing such nonsense.
The Bristol Courier is pleased with
the article; it suits its palate and il
comments as follows:
"The assertion of the Herald and Tribune thai
the 3C's has passed int the hands of the Ras
Tennessee company is perhaps correct. 1t may
be that only the part OF 1t reaching from John
son City to the coalfelds has been shouldered
by it, and that was done for the purpos of OBJ
structing the building of the road from Bristo
TO Big Stone Gap.
that THE SC's goes nowhere, will not for months
yet-never, IL reports are true" tallies with
what we have heard before, 1t is probable tina
the road will be built to the coalfelds. but 4
will be years before 1t is completed across thu
mountains OF North Carolina to the coast"
