HAD TO DEPOSIT A CONTINGENT
FUND,
R. E. Johnston of New York, who
engaged rooms yesterday a 4 the
Victoria for the world’s fair months,
said to the Inter Ocean man: I
want these rooms, and if necessary
I’ll leave a deposit ot $25 to pay my
funeral expeunses if [ should die.”
Cashier Wheaton thought the man
was a crank, but asked him why he
anticipated dying next summer.
Then Mr. Johnston told this story :
“I wasin Panama once during a
yellow fever epidemic. I weént to a
hotel. The proprietor, who now has
a hotel in New York, asked me,
after I had registered, to make a de
posit of $25. I had a great amount
of baggage, had begn a guest of the
hotel betore, and felt offended that
he should ask me to deposit anything
in advance. Itold him that I would
not do it, but would go to another
hotel.
“You’ll have to depoesit that $25
anywhere you go,” he said.
“l asked him why. ‘Well, you
see,” he said, ‘I have had twenty
people die in my house of yellow
fever, and have been obliged to bury
most of them at my own expense.
It is simply a matter of self-protec~
tion. If youdie Jl’'ll bury you des
cently, spending the whole 825 on
your interment. On the other hand,
it you don’t die, I'll give you back
the money when you leave.” |
“l gave him the deposit,” contin
ued Mr. Johnston, “but I had not
been in the house tiorty-eight hours
betore there were three deaths. In
the wmeantime, though, the hotel
men had appealed to the local au.
thorities, who guaranteed to bury
the dead, assuming all expense. I
d> not know whether these three
people who died had paid a deposit
or not, but Ido know that the man
who is now @& boniface in Gotham,
had the bodies loaded iuto & wagon
and dnmped unceremoniously on
the floor of the vacant room, which
courtesy but nothing else called a
moergue. These bodies were buried
in cheap coffins without a stone to
mark their resting places, and no
last messages were conveyed to
triends in foreign lands. ‘
“I am going to stay in Chlcasp all
next summer and if I should die I
want to be buried decently. My
horrible experience with the yellow‘
fever gpidemic in Panama will never
be forgotten.” |
Mother— Haven’t I told you little
boys must be seen and not heard?
Johpnnie—Yes’m. ,
Mother—Then why do you talk

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE AND SYMPATHY,
The Mistaken Notion of the Pupil That
The Teacher is His Enemy Must Be
Eliminated from His Mind.
' : . ———
ScrooL DiscrpLlNE.—The use of
corporal punishment is a survival of
of the age of muscle—and we claim
now to have far entered upon the
age of mind. Btill it is sometimes
necessary yet; in the same way it is
sometimes necessary to answer a
fool according to his folly. But we
should use it sparsely—it is moref
disastrous, far, to treat an honest
‘man as a knave than to treat aI
knave as an honest man.
Some teachers whip a great deal ;
others not at all. Where is the dif
ference ? One word tells the whole.
SymMpaTHY.—Think what the word
means—the Germans call is touch,
thought touch. Metaphysicians
know what that means, appreciate{
its value, know how to use its power.
They tell you that deficient thought
touch is the why of all faiiures to
succeed in all the world. |
It might cost some effort to uc~
quire it, some tact to axpress it ; butl
it would pay ; it would make teach
ing no longer drudgery; it would
save all nervous wear and tear; it
would elevate and ennoble the pu
pil; it would dignify and glorify the
teacher. 1
The best educators of young and
old are those who have the gifts (1)
of perceiving dormant useful facul
ties in theirpupils’ which others” do
not see, and of developing them ; (2)
of Ignoring dormant objectionable
taculties which others cuitivete, and
of putting them to sleep permanent
ly.”
Disciplining through moral influ
ence, mental rather than physical
power—disciplining through that
sympathy, that thought touch that
creates understanding, confidence,
good feeling between pupl and
teacher, is the right method of
training the pupil ingo the divine
rule of harmonious action and right
orderly behavior.
We do not hal! appreciate how
great progress will have been made
both by teachers and pupils when it
is universally recognized that the
ideal training is one in which a child
is never ruled by fear, but always
by sympathetic insight, so that he
may learn that his objects are the
same as those of the teacher, a truth
whick children now seldom realize.
The mistaken notion that the teach
er is his enemy laust be eliminated
from his mind. He mustbe induced
to want to help the teacher, not to
circumvent him. This will lead to
his acquiring the art of self govera
ment, and his aims will become
wider and less seifish. Punishment
does not make a boy less selfish : it
increases selfishness. Ie nshould
work for some higher object than to
avoid personal idconvenience, and
most children are easily taught to
do sc. The child has Jatent higher
faculties, which will respond if ap
pealed to, but often remain long un
developed, simply because they are
not called into action. At every
stage of growth, the higher faculties
should be appealed to rather than
the lower, whenever it is possible.
This obvious truth 18 often disre
garded.—Condensed trom a paper in
Popular Educacion.

He Robs the Gate City Na

HE SKIPPED AND IS THEN CAUGHT,
Wine, Women and Fast l:lving Bring
His Down Falli He Let Friends
Have the Bank’s Money.
Lewris REDWINE, assistant cashier
of the Gate City National Bank, of
Atlanta, has defaulted to the amount
of $66,000.00, and in consequence
the bank is closed and in the
hands of the United States bank
examiner. Redwine had been in
the bank for fitteen years and had
been promoted 'thirteen months ago
from a book keeper tu assistant
cashier, owing to his faithfulness.
He received a salary of $1,500 a
year, but that amount was inade
quate to his needs as a society young I
man. He was a member of the
Capital City Club, fond of wine, wo
men, theatres, fast horses, and fine
clothes, and to meet his lavish ex
penditures he stole the banks money.”
When President Hill’s suspicion was
aroused, ke made a partial examina- |
tion aud discovered enough to con- {
vince him that Redwine was a de- |
faulter. Hill asked Redwine to come
into his private office. Redwinesaid:
“All right, as soon as [ finish adding
np this column of figures.” Reas
wine startad towards the office, but
went by it and into a haliway that
led to » saloon. He called for a
drink, and whiie drinking, Welborn
Hill stepped up. He invited Mr.
Hill to take a drink, but he
declired and went up stairs. Red
wime Porrowed the bar-keepe:’s hat,
and stepped out ot the door. ‘
Lewis Redwine was captured bes
tween 12 and 1 o’clock Friday in
Atlanta.
He was taken by Policeman J. T.
Wimbish at the house of D. L. Oaks,
on Rackmore street, in the vicinity
of the East Tennessee railroad shops.
Redwine’s arrest was due to in~
formation furnished the policeman
who did the work by Mrs. Oaks,
wife of the man who occupied the
house. Redwine was brought there
Thursday night by Horace Owens
and H.*ll. Black, who have been
arvesteéd as accomplices ir. the cushs
ier’s attempt to escape.
Owens and Black state that Red
wine was captured by them Friday
night at an assignation house on
McDonald street, kept by a notori«
ous woman, named Cora Howard.
He had been discovered there and
was taken after by a squad of city
police . detectives, who had got an
inkling of his whereabouts, had
searched the premises and failed to
find him.
When the police reached tlie house
of the Howard woman, Redwine was
secreted between two mattresses,
Owens, who employed Black to as~
sist him in his scheme, in arresting
Redwige, is believed to have got a
sum of money from him on promise
of aiding hiwa to escape.
Redwine spent Wednesday night
at Owens’ house, and 1n order to
avert suspicion applied at the house
of Oaks’ Thursdgy night tor lodging.
It was granted, Redwine spending
the night there.
Early Friday morning when Mrs. <
Oaks caught a glimpse of Redwine |
she rccognized her lodger at once,
having known him formerly ia Cow
eta county. She immediately sent
for Policeman Wimbish, who lived
near by. Wimbish broke open Red
wiue’s door, and with his pistol levs
elled, ordered the cashier to throw
up his hands.
He offered the policeman 81,500
to.let him g’S-’SOO above the reward
offered, but the officer declined the
bribe, and the defaulter was carried
to the police headquarters.
Redwine had changed his clothing
for coarser garb than he was accus
tomed to wearing. He was collar
less, neaded a shave'badiy, and ap
peared absolutely unnerved by the
shock when lauded in the clutehes
of the law. -
" He was taken to the office of the
chief of police, where he was imme
diately searched and $4OO found in
his pocket. e claimed that this
was all he had, and ancounted for
his failure to get out of town by a
lack of money.
Soen after the crooked cashier
was landed in the station house he
was called vpon by the bank officials
and attorncys. What passed be
tween the bankers and ex-cashier
cannot be learned, except that he
denied having carried away the
$50,000 which he was said to ~ have
taken.
Redwine aduwits a defalcation ot
$23,000 covering an extended period,
but denies that he took anything
from the bank when he left. |
Cora Howard, the woman in the
Redwine case, was arrested as an
‘ccomplice.
Horace Owens has confessed that
he was acting in the employ of Red
wine’s friends who wanted to secure
his escape. He retuses, however, to
divulge the names of those implica~
ted. The confession has created a
great sersation.
The theory is that Redwine’s
friends outside the bank got most of
the money defaulted and there are
free predictions that the whole affair
will be smoothed over if pessible to
shield prominent people.
In her statement to the chief of
police Cora Howard stated that
Redwine came to her house Tuesday
at 3 o’clock, coming straight from
the bernk. He told her that'he was
short at the bank $15,000 and that
he wanted tostay there until it
could be fixed up which would be
very probably next day.
The Howard woman implicated.
Daniel W. Rountree, the well known
lawyer. She said that Rountree
had called at her house Tuesday
nigzht to see Redwine and had lent
him an overcoat, which c¢oat he wore
when arrested. :
TOM COBB JACKSON SUICIDES.
Atlanta has anothe: sensation
crowding upon the heels of Red
wine’s defalcation. This time it isa
tragedy. Thomas Cobb Jackson, a
society leader and lawyer, son of
Captain Harry Jackson, put a pistol
to his head and sent a ball crashing
through his brain in a hack in front
of his father’s residence. He had
two pistols in his hand whenjhis
father turned at the sound of the
discharged pistol. Some eighteen
wonths ago, Mr. Jackson married
Miss Sallie Grant of Atlanta. The
cause of the suicide is unknown, but
it is said that he had been profes
sionally engaged in a number of
Railroad cases, the Gate City Na
‘tional Bank defalcation and being a
‘close perscnal friend to Lewis Red
‘wine, the absconding assistant cash
ier, had brooded over it under the
pressure of the work on law cases,
superinduced mental aberration, snd
he took his life. It isalso’said that
dissipation, debt and despondency
had a heap to do withit. He was
buried in Athens.
A dramastic Frenchman commit
ted suicide in New York by falling
on his sword. He placed the hilt
on the floor and, after accurately
adjusting the point over his heart,
threw his whole weight npor it.
Death followed instantaneously.
Thus we have another revival of an
ancient custorn. Saul slew himself
by falling on his sword, and in the
days of the old Romans suicide by
that mode was quite a fad.
“Prisoner, do you confess your
guilt?’ :
“No, your honor, the words ot
my counsel have convinced me of
my innocence.”

A SISTER'S CRIME.
Miss Julia Force, of Atlan
ta, Kills Her Two Sisters.
4 JURY DOECLARES HER INSANE.
After Killing Her Sisters She Surrenm
ders to the Police--It is a Shocking
and Terrible Tragedy.
~ Another chapter has developed in
Atlanta’s week of crime.
Saturday afternoon, a few minutes
before 2 o’clock, Miss Julia Force,
40 years old, shot and killed her
two sisters, Florence, 30 years old,
and Minnie, 25 yecars old. She then
walked to the police station and
gave herself up, saying she had
committed a crime and desired pro
tection.
This was the first knowledge ot
the murder, for the killing was done
when she was alone at home with
her two sisters. The family is one
ot prominence. The brothers of the
family are J. H. and A. W. Force,
shoe merchants. They have been
prominent citizens of Atlanta for
years, coming there from Charleston.
It is believed the woman is insane.
She has been considered irresponsi
ble at times, and had trequently
threatened te kill mevabers of the
family.
She says that che has for a year
been writing out a statement of the
family troubles, and just completed
it. Saturday, when her mother was
absent from the house, she sent the
gervants out on errands, then, going
to the room where her sister Flor~
ence was sick in bed, she placed a
pistol to her right temple and shot
her dead. Then going toa room,
where her other sister was, she shot
her in the same manner. None 'of
the neighbors heard the shots. Miss
Force then calmly locked the door
and went to the police station as
described. ’
The bodies of the two women were
found by a brother to whom she had
sent a message to the effect that her
sister Florence was worse. In re
sponse he went home to find the
bodies et his dead sisters.
The Misses Force frequently vis
ited Marietta, and their tragic
death was a source of deep regret
to their-friends here.
On Tuesday a jury declared. Miss
Force insane and she will be sent
the asylum.
