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?

MARIETTA, GA., THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 2, 1893. ! LDepartment Devoted to the l Teachers of Cobb. 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.

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.” —— e~ Ittt A Valuable Remedy.

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. LOCAL LEAFLETS. Picked Up and Dotted Down for Jour nal Readers.
