New York, April 3~o.-Judge Wallace
says that in granting the Kemmler
habcas corpus writ he upheld views OF
counsel making the application. that
inasmuch as the case was one Of life
and death the question involved should
be passed upon by the highest tribunal
in the land. The question as to the
validity Of tho delegation Of power to .
sheriff to fix the time and circumstances
Of the death Of . condemned man. was
= serious one.
The Judge intimated that the restric-
tion OF the liberty OF the press was also a
question to be considered, but he did not
say positively that this was one OF the
reasons for granting the writ. The
question Of the cruelty or unusual nat.
ure Of the punishment would be con-
sidered by the Supreme Court. There
were other questions involved, but tho
Judge did not care to extend the inter-
view which was granted at q very lato
hour.

Corner Stone Laying.

The past week was q lively one
for Durham. The laying Of the
corner stones for two important en-
terprises marks a new era in Dur
hams history. 2@
At Q o'clock Saturday morning
the Durham Band headed a long
procession Of the Masonic fraternity
marched up Main street 10 Just be-
yond the Graded school building.
There with MIR. w. 4. Murchison
as MISTER Of ceremonies was laid the
corner stone OF q tobacco storage
house which is to be 54x200 feet
five stories high. The stone. was
a large brown stone quarried near
Durham, on it was engraved "Fhe
American Tobacco 20" This build
ing is being erected by W. Duke
Sons 4 Co, Branch. They will also
erect another near this the same
size as soon as this one is completed.
After this ceremony the large
crowd marched to the vacant lot
back Of the X. and ID. depot where
by similar ceremonies the corner
stone Of the Durham Commonwealth
Club cotton factory was land, after
which Associate Justice Of the Su-
preme Court, Judge Jas. L. Shep-
ard delivered an admirable speech,
His speech was highly appreciated.
Il was regretted that the corner
stone Of Trinity College could moi
have been laid at the same time.

The total receipts of tobacco at
Durham last year footed up $780,
900 pounds, and there was manufsc>
tured $4,000, 900 cigarettes. and the
balance in smoking, chewing and
snuff. The revenue receipts have run
as high as 1927, 900 in one year. IA

an account Of test with a candle at

instrument would show the heat of can

PROF. PICKERING, basing his conclu-

planet Mars in April, concludes that the
southern temperate regions of Mars
have just experienced an irruption of
polar ice no less remarkable than that
which still adds the zest Of danger to
the navigation of our own North At

Two FULL moons in July seem to have
astonished some people. Why? The

about once in three years, in fact, as
often as the first full moon falls on the
first or second or early ON the third day
of a thirty-one-day month. This oc-
Cured, for instance, in December, 1875,
August, 1879, July. 1882, December, 1884,
