coLDEsr DAY OF THE YEAR.
The Mercury This Morning Hovers
About the Zero Point.

Raleigh is tasting the deadHest bitter
ness of winter this morning 1t Is the
coldest day OF the winter and one Of the
coldest in many years. The thermome-
ter is towering about the zero point, and
but little hope of rhef in sight. 1t was
at 10 yesterday morning and the sun was
high in the heavens before it left there.
All day long the sun shone on the snow
and ice that mcased everything in its
cold grasp but it had no other effect
than to give the streets a binding brill
lance that made it as difficult to see as to
walk.
The wind was pretty brisk in all ex-
posed places, blowing from the rimy
regions of the northwest. The slightest
exposure was enough to endanger ears,
noses, hands and feet. Only those who
were compelled to do so yentured out of
doors
Accidents were comparatively few,
though the streets were exceptionally
CLASSY and slippery. But there is much
suffering among the poor people of the
city Wood is needed more than any
thing else. They should not be forgot
ten.
Those who called on Weather Prophet
Won Hermann yesterday got very little
consolation. The lowest temperature of
the winter is his estimate of the weather
to-day-and not speck OF relief in sight.
There lis no prospect OF warmer weather,
and the present cold wave shows no sign
of breaking up. According to the officials
in the tower, O more general and sweep
ing cold wave has seldom struck this
country From northern Montana to
central Texas and all over the Central
States OF the Union, the thermometer
has taken a drop
The wave first appeared up in the north
west territory Thursday night, and, leav-
ing north Montana swept in a southeast
erly direction over the upper Mississippi
valley, arriving in the lake region Friday
night. But the cold continued in Mon
tana, and unexpectedly REINFORCED the
Chicago detachment Saturday morning.
This second wave travelled directly south
and east, covering the entire western
and central part OF the country, reach
in North Carolina Tuesday morning Last
night it had its centre over this State,
carrying with 1t snow, and a temperature
of only 10 above zero
Owing to the unexpected 'Shigh" which
happened to be lowering east of the
Rockies last Friday the wave skipped
that section Of the country, and South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and
western Minnesota, which usually catch
the first cold snaps. this time escaped en-
tirely. The coldest spot on the map yes
terday was about the centre of South
Dakota where it was 10 below zero.
While at several other points in the north
west it was zero.

A CONVICT PARDONED.

Edward Davis, who was convicted at
January term, 1894, in the county of
Wake. for robbery, and sentenced for five
years. was yesterday pardoned by Gov
ernor Russell In granting this pardon
the Governor gives as his reasons for
so doing, that such a step is recommend
ed by Judge Hoke, the trial judge; by q.
w. Pou, Solicitor prosecuting for the
State; by the party injured, the prose
cutor, and by large number OF the best
citizens of Moore county residing in and
near Sanford, where Davis lived before
his conviction, and it also appeared that
the convict was well regarded by many
good people, and further, that the pris-
oner had already suffered an imprson-
ment of three years.

DIR. Marshall's condition showed no

has no hope for his recovery. 1t is beliey-

that there is a growth on the brain, and
that the trouble will almost certainly
prove fatal Everything possible is being
done for the sufferer by his physician
and the loved ones around him. He has
been unconscious most Of the time for
several days. Miss Jennie Coffin has
been attending him since he has been
sick, but she is now herself suffering from

o CHAMPAGNE.

In France champagne is only served
at he dessert, and it must be neither
too sweet nor too dry.
There is no stimulant known to medi-
cine as %ef1cacious in bringing cheer
fulness of mind as champagne.
Champagne is noXious in some cases
OF sickness which cannot stand a devel-
opment of carbonic acid gas, like heart
disease.
The best manufacturers use no labels
in France proper, the brand of the
corks being sufficient to protect their
product.
AS a general rule the absolute uuan-
tity Of alcohol contained In champagne
amounts to 10 or IL per cent OF the
measurement.
The corking machine is the lex step
and the ''fceleur" or wire-worker
draws a hot iron around the cork to
keep it safely in place.
The quantity of alcohol contained in
champagne depends mainly on the ma
ture of the essence added to it after
fermentation, and varies widely with
the taste of the consumers in various
countries.
In Austria and Germany there is a
demand for sweet champagne. Eng
land and America order champagne
with the least addition of essence.
there being a poular demand for good,
strong wine, with plenty of body to it.
All champagne is dosed, liquor being
added to the wine makes it stronger or
lighter, dryer or sweeter, according to
the brand. 1t is applied with a ma
chine, which apportions the exact
quantity to each bottle without error
or waste.
Tests with the manometer show that
champagne exerts a pressure in the
bottles of from four to five atmosphere.
greatest pressure should never ex-
coed six atmospheres, and the bottle
will burst when the pressure reaches
seven or eight atmospberes.
