GOLF LINKS ESTABLISHED.

Princeton, May 2S-Mueh interest is
being shown in the newly formed
Princeton club and the membership
list already assures success. The club
has secured grounds for golf and work
is being pushed in order to have the
links ready for the opening of the sea-
son at this popular resort. The course
was laid out by Peter Cronin, the pro-
fessional of the Grafton Country club,
which is a guarantee that players will
find it among the best in the country.
The course is of six holes with plenty
of natural hazards in the way of stone
walls but not too difficult for unskilled
players. The distance ranges from $50
to $50 yards. over fields from which the
view is unequalled. On the neighbor-
ing hill top lies the village of Princeton,
picturesque with its white houses and
green blinds, varied by the more pre-
tentious aboGes of the summer resi-
dents,
The entrance to the grounds is di-
rectly in front of the historic Russell
house, the birthplace of the Hon.
Thomas Russell, and the late Theodore
Russell. On the back ground rises old
Wachusett mountain soon to be taken
by the commonwealth for public re-
servation. To the east the view eX
tends fifty miles over hill and role.
On one of the highest points overlook
ing the course and commanding this
fine outlook it is proposed later to erect
club house.
The officers of the club for the pre-
| sent year are: President, DR.. c. f.

Fifteen Of the most prominent cit
liens of the town signed an agreement
to have telephone placed in their re-
spective houses and placs of businss,
the rate to be $2t per year, the service
to begin June /. Today representatives
of the company came to town to see
about placing the poles, etc, and the
first thing they did was to run up
against a snag. The selectmen re-
fused to allow them to set their poles
on the highway within a mile of the
centre Of the village.
They must place them on private
property, and this the company does
not propose to do. The representatives
of the company returned to Worcester
this afternoon and will await further
action. If they do not change their
mind, the citizens will probably get no
telephone service.

THE SAMOAN AGREEMENT STANDS,


London, Nov. 29-It is onic1ai37 re-
ported tat the statement that the
United States has rejected the agree,
ment between Great Britain and Ger
many regarding Samoa and has sub
mitted new draft of an agreement is
misleading. The exact status of the
Samoa question is as follows:
Consequent upon the signing of the
Samoan treaty between Germany and
Great Britain, to which the United
States had signified its assent, there
was drawn up a new form of agree
ment between Great Britain and the
United States. This was necessitated
by the new order of things, but in
nowise affected the validity of the
German-British agreement, which in.
cluded spheres of influence In Africa
and other matters entirely foreign to
American interests. The statement
that the agreement has been rejected
is based, according to the British of
ficials, entirely upon the suggestions
made by the United States of change
in the wording of the draft Of the
agreement between herself and Great
Britain. These changes are entirely
grammatical and will be acceded to.
