The freshness Of eggs IS carefully graded IN
this country, but our distinctions are sur
passed in delicacy by those formerly in
vogue among the British residents in India:
A distinguished general once happened
to stop in Calcutta. At breakfast the great
man was served with boiled eggs. He took
one, broke the shell, and dropped it with an
air of disgust.
"Here!S he cried to his servant, what
do you mean by giving me bad egg"
The man hurried to his master, and exam
med the egg with the utmost seriousness.

A vAGRANr FROM BOSTON.
Flown Language In
Court.

Bailiff Kendig il recognized as something
Of wit. The FIRST prisoner to be subjected
to the laconic thrusts Of the bailiff in the
police court the other day was William
Ross, says the Washington Times: The
he was arraigned kendig said, soto voce:
"A rolling stone gathers no moss" He
then added, that is true saying. Much
to the surprise and chagrin Of kendig, Ross
replied without the faintest semblance of .
smile:
"Why do you not quote that aphorism cor
rectly? As we say it in Boston it is: ANY
petrifed formation endowed with rotary
motion shows no affinity for the collection
Of lichenous particles
'That will do from you," said Kendig,
you are charged a. vag. Are you guilty or
not guilty."
Ross answered not guilty, but the evil
dence was against him. Policeman Gordon
declared that he found Ross begging at the
Baltimore l. Ohio railroad station. Ross
claimed that the only begging he did was
to beg the policeman to release him. Judge
Mills sent Ross to the workhouse for GO days
in default of bonds in the sum Of $50.

BRESsl's

! The QUESTION has been asked
as to wny Bress', the anarchist,
who as estimated KING Humbert
a. Motz4, July 20, was not given
the death penalty, but instead
was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. The reason is that capital
punishmant was definitely abol-
isbed IL Italy ia 1889 and since
that time no exception has been
made to the edict, even, as will
be seer, in the case Of q bastard
" murderer lika Humbert's
slayer.
The same law obtains in mum
| Der of other Countries, notably
Swi z .rlaud, It was in SWi GER
land that an anarchist assassi-
! mated Empress Elizabeth Ct Au-
stria not many months ago. The
murder was even more cold
| blooded and cruel than the slaugh
ter of the King Of Italy, but un-
der the Swiss statutes the ex-
IRENE penalty is life time i'm
prisonment aud this was impos-
ed upon the culprit,
These two instances illustrate
the pistake of abolishing CAPT
tai punishment. To the case of
Bressi when he was sentenced he
laughed and haughtily declared
ST await the next revolutioD.'
He thus confidently expects to
be released from prison wher
such a revolution comes, if il
do come. Ia a country where
these are nc gallows the muir
derer becomes bolder and Law
breakers have less to fear. He
knows that if he is punished bis
life is not to be taken from hin
and he has strong hopes Of Sc
touring liberty through a revol
or BY escape. There is but on
punishment which BELTS tn
crime Of assassination and tina
is an iguominious death at tn
end of a rope NOT a public exc
cution, but a private hanging
where the murderer will hav
= no opportunity to harangue

ICE N
A Recent Wonderful Discovery.

a. 0OSSA .
Coudersport, Pa, September
3.-The Potter county ice mine is
not a fake, but a wonderful real
ity. About two years ago John
r. Dodd, of Sweden Valley, found
a natural depression or cave in the
hill about four miles east of Cou-
dersport. To satisfy a natural
curiosity he started to sink a shaft
on this spot. The shaft is down to
a depth of twenty feet.
Ice covers the side of the hole
from the surface of the hillside to
the bottom, where the formations
have in some places reached a
thickness o flour feet. The ice
deposits vary greatly with the
temperature and, strange as it may
seem, far much faster on a warm
day than in colder weather CT
when rain is falling. The present
extre me- heat is claimed to be re.
sponsible for the large amount OF
ice found in the cave now.
Another strange fact in connec-
ton with the cave is that it is

GEN. r RPS CANDIDACY.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the announcement by Gen'l
Julian S. Carr, of Durham, of his
candidacy in the coming Novem-
Der primary for the nomination
of United States Senator.
Gen'I Carr is better known-
known personally, and through
more varied avenues Of contact
with the people than any man
in the State, and that he is
worthy of the high preferment he
seeks, and that he merits it, is
generally recognized-not under
estimating the deserts of the 9TH
er candidates in the field.
Beginning public life as a vol
unteer soldier in the Confederate
! service, while yet IN his teens, he
has not ceased through all the in>
tervening years to be al active,
: progressive, energizing spirit in
the States de velopment along
every avenue worthy Of effort and
inviting in desirable results.
In measure OF party service; in
munifcence of public b~enefac-
tions, in spontaneous private
charity and in generous helpful-
ness to worthy young men ass
piring and struggling upward,
there is no man in our knowl-
edge that can measure up to
him.
And in saying this much for
Gen. Carr we wish 1T distinctly
understood that thu ARGUS has nc
candidate for United States Sen
ator. We have an abiding faith
in the deliberate Judgment of the
people of N ,rth Carolina, and
whom they, in the caln exercise
of that judgement in November's
primary select, that man will bt
our candidate before the Genera.
Assembly for United States Sen
ator. In the meantime, we shall
permit no injustice to be urge6
nor unfair measure resorted tt

several candi lates in the field.

THE
TIONS

VOG1AAJ = ONf l
Two important State elections
come off this month. Vermont
will elect a Governor, other
State officers, a Legislature and
Congressman today, and Maina
will elect like eff ;ers on Monday
the 10th. Both States will vote
Republican by a large majority,
bat the vote OF Vermont and
Maine is always regarded as an
important fnger board pointing
the drift Of public sentiment IN
the Presidential contest.
When Vermont and M aine give
unusually large Republican ma
jorities il September, it is ac-
cepted as an unmistakable indis
cation thatethe popular tide is
with the Republicans for Presi-
dent; and when their majorities
fail below the normal, it is C
cepted as indicating that the
Democrats have the vantage
ground in the national battle.
Thus Vermont gave 19, 702 Res
publicon majority for Governor
in September, 1892, and 81, 567
majority for Harrison for Presi-
dent in November. Ia 1896, when
the Republicans were successful
in the Presidential contest, Yer.
mont gave 38, 571 Republican
0Hajority for Governor in Sep
TENDER, and 40, 1858 for Mckinley
for President in November.
In 1892, when the Democrats
swept the country for Cleveland,
Maine gave II, 533 majority for
the Republican candidate for
Governor in September and H..
877 maj ority for Harrison in
November. In 1896, when the
Republicans elected Mckinley
by a large majority, Maine gave
48, 377 majority tor Mckinley in
November. The elections Of 1895
and 1896 exhibited about the
highest and lowest recent politi.
cal wa termarks for the Republic
cans in both Vermont and Maine
If Vermont shall today give
less than 30, 900 Republics ma
jority it would strongly indicate
reaction against Mckinley since
1896; and if the majority shall
be $4,000 or more, it may be acs
cepted as an Indication that ir
New England least Mckinley i:
quite as strong as his party, and
as the Republican majority il
Maine shall be above or below
the normal party strengb, the
current of public sentiment in
that State will be clearly indi
Gated.
The State elections already
held this year have thus FAR hac
very little significance, with the
single exception Of Orgon
Rhode Island voted Republican
in April by about the usual ma
jority, and Oregon went Repub
lican IN June by an increased Re
publican majority.
