NSPSNAo ~ LIN NASSoNASSt'
Raleigh, N. c., January 4.-There
were very curious developments today
regarding the convict who goes under
the name of j. L. Roberts, said to be
of a rich and prominent New York
family and who was pardoned 'Wednes-
day night out of the penitentiary here
by Governor Russell.
1t is a~scertained that the pardon was
granted upon the express condition that
Roberts left North Carolina on the
first train and never returned. He
went from the ~penitentiary directly to
a saloon, drank freely, and sent a tele-
gram to New York, asking for money.
The governor thought Roberts had
gone that night, and was exceedingly
angry when he yesterday
I evening that he was yet here. he I'M
mediately directed that Roberts be ar
rested and returned to the penitentiary.
News of this got to a saloon where
Roberts had been all day and some peo-
| pie took him away n secreted him
until midnight, when they took him to
the train. His funds from New York
| came early yesterday evening. He
| gave his name to his new-made friends
| as Lyman r.. Blair and his residence as
| Marlborough hotel, New York city. He
| said his New York friends thought he
was in Europe, n that the aged lady
| and handsome young woman who came
here under assumed names and visited
| him at the penitentiary were relatives
| He exhibited a copy of a letter from
| Governor Odell, of New York, to Gov
ernor Russell. asking his pardon anc
also exhibited a copy of Governor Rus

Brogden passed away at his home near
this city at the hour Of 4 o'clock this

Governor Brogden was a most re-

one time in life, by rigid economy, he
amassed quite a fortune, h bulk of
which he lost on personal security for
his party confreres.
He was born in 1916 and was, there
fore, in his S5th year. He served his
native county, Wayne, in the legisla-
lures of 1888 and 1910. Following this
for some fifteen ear he was comp
troller of the treasury.
In 1872 h was elected lieutenant
governor on the republican ticket with
Governor Tod r. Caldwell and succeed
ed to the governors chair on the death
Of the latter. Subsequently he served
two terms in congress as the represen-
tative from this dictrict. His was an ir-
~reproachable life, honest in all his deal
ings.

At the present time there is always a
doctor on hand to examine men before
the gloves are put on and if anything
is wrong in the slightest degree the
boxer is not allowed to enter the ring.
In a boxing match conducted on
these lines there is no danger what
ever and exciting sport is furnished
which is pleasant to witness. What for
instance, could be prettier to look at
than the work of such clever boxers as
Corbett, Mccoy, Critic and Tommy
Ryan? The best boxer is the cleverist
and it is all a matter of SKILL
What makes boxing crooked to such
an alarming degree is the outsider, so
to speak. He wants to be wise and
make some money so he approaches the
boxer with a "lay-down'' proposition.
Quite often he and the crooked boxer
are the ones to suffer and they richly
deserve to, for they are the ones who
have helped to kill the game. 1 would

Lon Agnew of Chicago, who is now
residing in Honolulu, has fought over
a hundred battles in the roped arena
and only On five occasions has deci-
sion been rendered against him. He
has never been knocked out. During
his pugilistic career he has met and
defeated the best men of his weight in
America.
To an Advertiser reporter Agnew said
as follows:
I'm my opinion boxing contests will
be hindered more and more by legisla-
ton during the next ten years and will
then become a thing of the past. That
is, of course, if many more such scan
dals occur as are disgracing the ring
today.

fought the last prize fight on record.
A prize fight is far different from a
boxing match. Since then boxing has
been limited to 25-round contests all
over the world and in some places to
20 rounds and nothing lighter than
four-ounce gloves may be used. In the
prize fight the bare knuckles or skin

An Independence Day FroIic.

At Fourth of July picnic were pass ed around to the company wooden plates of generous dinner plate size. On these were pasted various odd shaped pieces of red, white and blue paper. These, it was explained, were intended to represent in their general outline the maps of the 13 original states as they now appeared, and with them, to avoid the unlucky num- Der, was also map of Cuba. At the top of each, instead of its name, was printed a number. Pencils were dis tributed, and the guests were given half an hour to guess the identity of the maps, the names of which were to be written on the backs of the plates. The couple most successful in this were each presented with an im- mense cannon firecracker, which, how ever, was not as dangerous as it seem- ed at first sight, for it was nothing worse than a clever imitation of the real thing filled with bonbons.-Alice Carlotta.

FOURTH OF JULY TRICKS.
A Few That Will Help You Celebrate
 the Day.


 To make a we'll of fire, says the Chi cago Inter Ocean, to 12 ounces of water in an earthenware basin add gradually ounces of suIphuric acid. Then add stothis, also gradualIy about three-auar- ters of an ounce of granulated zinc. A rapid production Of hydrogen gas will instantly take place. Then add from time to time a few small pieces of phosphorus. A multitude of gas bub- bles will be produced, which will fire on the surface of the effervescing liq- uid. The whole surface of the liquid will become luminous, and fire balls, with jets of flame, will dart from the bottom through the fluid with great ra- pidity and missing noise.
 To set combustible body on fire by the contact of water, fill a saucer with water and let fall into it a piece of po- tassium of the size of a peppercorn. The potassium will instantly burst into flame, with a slight explosion, and burn wildly on the surface of the water, darting at the same time from one side of the vessel to the other with great violence in the form of a beautiful red hot f1reball.
 For the experiment called animated fire put some small pieces of camphor in basin of pure water. A very pc culiar motion commences at once, some of the pieces turning as if on an axis, others go steadily round the vessel, some seem to be pursuing others, and thus they continue forming curious and pleasing appearance. But if sin gle drop of sulphuric acid be put into the water the motion of the camphor stops instantly. If a piece of camphor is lighted and then carefully placed on the water, it burns with bright flame, moving about with great rapidity, as if in search of something, but is instantly stopped by drop of sulphuric acid.
