BOMB IN CAPITAL SQUARE.

News & Observer Things looked
rather war-like about the capitol yes
terday. There are these days plenty
of rumors of war about the Adjutant
Generals Office, but it is not every day
that loaded bomb-shell Is dug up IN
the square.
That is just what Mr.. Terry, the
gardener, did late yesterday afternoon.
He found it buried under about three
feet OF earth near the east entrance OF
of the square. When taken to the
Adjutant Generals Office, Maj. Hayes
said it must have been buried there IN
1910 when Gov. Graham had dirt haul
ed in and the square levelled up. 1t
was a round SIX pound shell, still load
ed, though the cap was gone. 1t was
very rusty, of course.
Mai. Hayes says all six-pound shells
are now elongated and the round shells
went out OF fashion forty years ago
It is evident therefore that 1t was not
put there during the late war. He
thinks it may be relic of the Reyolu-
ton. 1t was sent over to the State
Museum.

TEMPERANCE NEWS NOTES.

A drunkard is man who failed as a
moderate drinker. - National Temper
ance Advocate.
Forty-one students have been dis
missed from Stanford university, Cali
fornias for inferiority in college work,
immortality and drinking habits.
Real life and clear, cold water are to
be found together, while whisky and
inadnes and the devil are never very far
apart.-National temperance Advocate.
Sir William Meredith, C. j., of Toron-
to, Ont, has ruled that a hotel keeper
has no legal right to give liquor to per-
sonal friend during the hours when the
sale of intoxicants is prohibited by law.
The final proof of a victory for the
temperance cause in the matter of the
Princeton inn bar is given in the recent
!y-issued university catalogue for the
year 1S97-98. The page giving map
Of the grounds has heretofore borne an
arrow pointing to the inn. This year
the arrow is omitted.-Union Signal.
For ten years Cambridge has voted
'sno license" so that there are no open
saloons around Harvard. In the first
years of the university, $50 years ago,
when money was scarce, payment of tu-
ition was allowed in produce, bearskins
and live stock. A "rundlet of sack"
Oxeg of wine) was good for years
tuition. The times have certainly
changed.
The saloon keepers of Sioux City, Ia,
have been notified by the county attor-
ney that they must observe the Martin
law in future. This means neither la
bles nor chairs in saloons, only one en-
trance, uncurtained windows, no shak-
ing for drinks and ten o'clock closing.
Hitherto the law has been openly vio-
lated, and its enforcement will drive
many dealers from the business.
