THE AMERICAN GIRL.
In the course of a recent speech
in the House, Representative Ezekiel
S. Chandler. Jr., of Mississippi,
paid a tribute to the American girl
that will stand as one of the literary
gems of the current Congress. The
official report in the Congressional
Record quotes Mr. Candler as fol
lows:
“I will tell you what I believe. I
believe that there is nothing better
in all the world than patriotic,
brave and chivalrous American man
hood except the lovliness, the puri
ty and the beauty of American
womanhood. (Loud applause.)
Some one has said that when God
made the American girl, ‘He sent
His angel messengers throughout
all the star-strewn realms of space
to gather all there was of beauty and
brightness, of enchantment, of
glamour. When those angels re
turned home with their harvesting of
beauty and threw down their glit
tering burden at Ilis feet, He be
gan in their wondering presence the
fashioning of the American girl. He
wrought with the gold and the
gleam of the stars, shifting glories
of the rainbow hues, and the pallid
silver of the moon. He wrought
with the crimson which swooned in
the rose’s rubied heart, with the
pure sweet snow which gleams from
the lily’s petals, and the fires and
the flames which flash and leap from
jewels’ depth. Then glancing deep
into Mlo His rmm own Rn«nm bosom, lie He took tooK of or
the love which gleamed there like
same rare pearl beneath the wind
kissed waves of a summer sea,
thrilled into the form Ho was fash
ioning, and all heaven and earth re
joiced, for, to! He had wrought the
American girl.’” (Continued ap
plause.) . ,
Dr. L. P. Hanvey, a former Atlan
ta druggist, who slew his wife many
years ago, and who has been serving
a life sentence in the Penitentiary
for the last twelve years, was parden
by Gov. Terrell last Saturday, upon
the recommendation of the. Parden
ing Board.
There is weaping and wailing

tively from Washington, that sever
al of them will be out of a job very

Smyth of Augusta, Revenue Collec
tor Rucker, of Atlanta, and Deveaux,

In a decision rendered on the 13th,
mainly against the Northern Pacific
Railway company, the register and
receiver of the United States land
office at Couer de’Alene City, Idaho,
held that a vast tract of land in
Shoshone county, claimed by the
railroad as non-mineral, are mineral
in character and therefore a part of
the public domain. The lands are
valued at $1,500,000.
When Stephen Girard died, some
sixty years ago, he left his great
fortune of $8,000,000 in trust for the
Girard College. A recent statement
shows that the college now enrolls
annually about 1,600 boys, and is
equipped with buildings and appur
tenances that are regarded as models
of their kind. Notwithstanding the
support and betterments of the
school have been paid out of the
fund, the amount of it has steadily
grown until it is now several times
larger than it was originally.
