Policeman Sam Howard arrested a mau last evening who, if he had been hober and disposed to resist, might have given the officer the time of his life. The prisoner was Alvin Adams, white, an industrious man ordinarily but too fond of booze. He is on inti mate acquaintance with the police on account of this habit and his offense has generally been leniently dealt with but while he was arrested for drunk enness a more serious charge may be made against him. Adams was very drunk and was rid ing around the city in a transfer when Mr. Howard's attention was called to him. He directed the driver to take the man to the city hall where he wss escorted to the cell. Like all other prisoners put into the cell he was searched and therein lr.ys the seed of this story. The first thing the police pulled out was a knife, an other pull and another knife came out I then a third knife. A hunt around the; belt disclosed a pistol, a little more of a hum uvealed another pistol. "Grat Scctt," exclaimed Bill Bryan who was going through .Adams pockets, "what Lave wo got here anyway, a traveling gun snop." He kept on digging and scon brought another knife and still more until eight knives of more or I033 value. Lastly came another revolver. Making a total of three pistols two of tbem loaded, and eight knives. New Bern Journal. American Goods in Russia.

Application to the Governor for Com mutation of Sentence. The Danbury Reporter says that a petition will probably be circlated in the eastern section of Stokes county by friends of J. W. Hammons, asking Governor Glenn to commute his sen tence to life imprisonment. In Uiat neighborhood of Stokes county where Hammons was raised, there is a good deal of sympathy expressed for the un fortunate man. Hammons is sentenced to be hung in this county July 20h for the murder of his wife in this city a few weeks ago. Very little is said about him herev His friends in Stokes or those living here had best bestir themselves, for from present indica tions he is pretty sure to hang. There is only one thing in favor of Hammons saving his neck, but even a commuta tion is not much desired by the pfid oner who claims. that a sentence to the penitentiary means death to him as he could not stand the physical endurance that would be required of him the e This action on the part of the Gov ernor would be justifiable only in the light of teh Hay wood-Skinner murder at Raleigh, the White brothers at Con cord, the murderers of Jones at Wilson, the drummer at Charlotte who killed a father while defending his home, where the criminals were either acquU ted or sent to the penitentiary for a short term. If Hammons is hung, then let murderers in future he "fed out of same spoon" regardless of who they are unless the case is "justifiable" be yond the shadow of a doubt. Winston Republican. Chickens Must be Sacrificed. It is said that when General Sher man was in command of the army in Tennessee, in the early part of the conflict, he was much annoyed by peo ple who inundated him with com plaints of the petty thefts of the sol diers under his command. One day when the general was par ticularly busy with a special service detail at headquarters a Union woman, whose husband was In the Confederate army, came in with a querulous com plaint that some soldier had stolen her chickens. He eyed her in silence for a moment, and then said, in his stern est tones: ' "Madam, the integrity of the consti tution and the unity of the republic must be maintained if if it takes every chicken in Tennessee."

A Japanese ge.itleman sends us the following translation of a letter re ceived by him a week ago from a friend in command of a first-class tor pedo boat in Admiral Togo's fleet: "Dear O: A thousand apologies for my lengthy silence. We have been and are still busy preparing a royal reception for th3 guests from Baltic . "When we of Suiraidau (Torpedo Corps) meet ashore, we discuss and of ten wonder if after all the Russians will come or wiil they fail us. Do they know that we are ready? To northwest lies the harbor of Masam pho, to south that of Sasebo, while Moji is on our east, and here we are waiting, waiting, and waiting for the enemy. Will he never come? "If you do not hear from me when a meeting has taken place, take this as my farewell. I do not expect to sce . you again in this life, except pernaps in your dreams. When my boat goes down, I shall go too and a Russian ship with us. . "It takes her weight in shells to sink a torpedo boat it's marvelous hew they, the shells, do not hit. "I have seen not one, but many, tor pedo actions, and I know. With six compartments in the boat we ought to be able to close in within twenty yards of the target before she is sunk. If we hit we shall go down with the Rus sians; if we hit the Russians shall' come with us, for the last man alive will steer the spare torpedo in the wa ter. What is life but a dream of sum mer's night? Can one choose more glorious an exit than to die fighting for one's own country and for the Em peror, who is a rule and leader to be nation's heart? Does not many a wor thy man end his life's chapter obscure for want of oppotunity? Then let us uphold the honor and the duty of be ing Japanese. By going down with them we shall, in a measure, pay the debt we owe for the slaughter of these poor innocent peasants. They too are fighting for their country, so shall Bu shi honor Bushi. There are more tor pedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers than the number of ships in the whole fleet of Aamiral Rojestvensky, and if each of them destroys or disables one of the enemy's vassels, it ought to do. "Father Togo, now gray-haired, walks quietly to and fro on the bridge of the Mikasa, and keeps silence, so all will go well. Do you remember the story when he went up to Tokio for the first time since the commencement of this war? Some pubic school boys were determined to unharness the horses of his carriage, at the instiga tion of the Ahasi, I believe, and them selves draw it up to the gate of the Im perial palace. Well, Father Togo, got wind of thi$, and so he sent his chief of staff in the carriage, while he was seen, but not recognized to be quietly walking towards Nijubashi, with his little daughter's hand in his. Will he play another trick upon the poor un suspecting Russians when they com?? "I bid you again farewell.

The President's lnrk. ' That is a delightful little story about the President aud his wife that has just crept to publicity. It seems Mr. Roosevelt has purchas ed a cottage in tho Virginia wood,but had not yet occupied it. On Friday of last week he and Mrs. Roosevelt, wno were visiting friends in the vicinity, took a notion to stay over night in :h little house. Thoy trudged over to the place and slept tnere that night. The President and his wife were all alone and a quarter of a mile from rny inhabited house. in me morning ir. iiuofeiL ici the President sleep while she got breakfast. As it happened there ?ere no matches about the premises. So the first Lady ofhe and halled,a Passcy ""au . with which to light the fire of the kit chen stove. That much of the story has leakrHf out. What sert of a breakfast they had we do not know. It may be imagined that the menu was composed of break fast food, Virginia sugar cured ham, eggs,, as you like them, and coffee, like your mother used to make. That was a good breakfast, and tSat Theodore relished it exceedingly may be taken for granted, since Mrs. Iloos evel adds to her accomplishments that of a fine mother and good housekeeper. Nowhere else In the world could such a little lark happen to the head of a nation and his wife, and not every American President would do such a thing. The President of the United States today is perhaps the foremost figure of all the world, yet he did just what any other American would have done und ;r like circumstances. He did not think to bend his dignity or to run any rifk of danger. The robust Americanism of Theodore Roosevelt is a pleasing phase of hla character.
