A popular chord ha* ho#»n strutik with the youngsters of Atlanta by the Christman Savings Club plan recently inaugurated by the Travelers Bank and Trust Company. A systematic plan to help the kids save their pen nies when they don’t miss them, in order that they may have a fat little check to help sweeten the holidays, is something new in Atlanta, and the novelty, as well as the good sense of it. has helped the plan to “take hold." Hundreds of children are going to the bank ever} clay, carrying with them 1 cent or 2 cents or 5 cents for their first deposit, according to which class the} want to Join, and are com ing away with the proud feeling that they have a bank account. Many par ents are opening club accounts in the names of their children, and then let ting the little ones come weekly to make the deposits themselves. •Tales of Hoffman,” the Offenbach fantastic opera to be presented to night'by the Metropolitan, will intro duce several stars of the company who already have been heard this week, and one or two who have not sung here this season. Carl Jorn, the German tenor whose work in “LohengTin.” “Koenigskin- der” and “Cavalleria” has made him popular in Atlanta, will sing the fine role of Hoffman To-night, and three equally prominent feminine roles will be taken by Hempel, Bori and Fornia. Miss Hempel will be heard as Olym pia, the mechanical doll, the first of Hoffman's three loves. Rita Fur- nia. who has never before been given a good part in an Atlanta treason, will sing Giuletta. the beautiful Venetian siren. Mies Bori will be the Antonia, the Munich maiden, who sings herself to death. Segurola in Double Role. The opera will Introduce a number of leading singers in brief roles. Leon Rothier. the basso, will double in the roles of Coppelius and Dr. Miracle, the latter a weird evengali-like char acter who appears in the Antonia tale. Dinh Gilly, who sang so well in “Gio- eonda” yesterday, will have the fine role of Dapertutto in the Venetian scene, singing the superb “Diamond Song.’’ Segurola will double the roles ot Spalanzani and Schlemil. Reiss, the tenor comedian, will have great op portunity as Cochenille and Frenz. Jeanne Maubourg will sing the male role of Xiclaus, the companion of Hoffman through all his wanderings. Richard Hageman, the Dutch con ductor. will direct the orchestra. The opera is without a really great leading role, but it makes up for this by giving fine parts to half a dozen singers. The three roles of Olympia, Giuletta and Antonia are usually sung by one soprano, but the Metropolitan has such a wealth of singers that it offers three stars in the parts. Famous Gondolier Song. The ‘Tales” is famous especially for the “Barcarolle,” the famous Vene tian gondoliers’ sing, sung in the sec ond act and played as an intermezzo by the orchestra. It is led by two women's voices, the chorus joining in the refrain, and the swaying, som nolent music depicts the rocking of the gondola in the Venetian lagoons as the boatmen swing from side to side in their rowing It is not un usual for the whole audience to catch the movement of the air and sway in their seats in time to the music. The opera is not so somber as most of the famous works, nor is it con nected as to plot. Hoffman, a stu dent, in a wine cellar with his com panions. is teased about his amours. He replies: “I will tell you the story of my three loves.” The curtain then rises on “Olympia the Doll,” the first of the love tales. It changes to the story of Violetta and then to the tale of Antonia. Sometimes the first arid third acts are transposed for great effect. Hoffman and his companion. Velaus, are the only characters seen in all of the acts. At the end of the third tale the ■cene shifts back to the wine cellar, where the epilogue is sung. DECATUR LEADERS ACTIVE.

About this time I con- suned a physician, who told me my lungs were affected. Not satisfied, I I went to another doctor, who after i examining me said that I was in the first stages of consumption. At this point 1 started to take Eckman's Al terative The night sweats stopped almost immediately, my cough be came looser and gradually disap peared. My weight is now 1.42 pounds and my physician has pronounced me perfectly sound—which, together with the fact that I have been ac cepted b> two different insurance companies for insurance, makes me sure of my entire recovery by Eck- man's Alterative. 1 should be very glad to communicate with any one who would be interested in my case."

Write to-day, J.; ^ most instructive. “There will be no flogging either of men or women in the Kentucky State Reformatory while I am warden, un less every other method of discipline fails,” was the assertion to-day of A. J. G. Wells, who was placed in charge of the Kentucky institution a few months ago. Warden Wells is in Atlanta to at tend the sessions of the Southern So ciological Congress, which began to day. His attention was called to the re cent agitation by some of the Georgia convict camp wardens who wish again to be given the privilege of whipping their women prisoners. It was then he made known his own policy in re spect to corporal punishment. When he was told how county war dens are chosen in Georgia, choice be ing governed in pi any instances by friendship or political considerations. Warden Wells shook his head in dis approbation and remarked that a more destructive system and one more demoralizing to effective penolo gy could hardly be devised. How does he discipline these hard ened and vicious women and the near ly 1,400 men without the use of the lash? Here is his answer: By night classes attended by ha!! the prison population. By a system of demerits imposed by a prison court of the same style as an ordinary police court—“except that we treat them better,” says the warden. By meetings for the guards and other prison officials, in which all the phases of criminal life and prison dis cipline are considered and planned. By deprivation of privileges for minor infractions of prison discipline; the solitary for more serious offenses. Warden Wells was a judge in Cal loway County during the night rider outrages, and won considerable fa vorable notice because of his adjudi cation of these troubles.
