TOM COBB JACKSON SUICIDES.

Atlanta has another sensation
crowding upon the heels of Red
wines defalcation. THIS time it is a
tragedy. Thomas Cobb Jackson, a
society leader and lawyer, son OF
Captain Harry Jackson, put pistol
to his head and sent ball crashing
through his brain in hack in front
of his fathers residence. He had
two pistols in his hand when::his
father turned at the sound of the
discharged pistol. Some eighteen
months ago, Mr.. Jackson married
Miss Sallie Grant of Atlanta. The
cause Of the suicide is unknown, but
it is said that he had been profess
sionally engaged in a number OF
Railroad cases. the Gate City Ma,
tional Bank defalcation and being a
close personal friend to Lewis Red
wine, the absconding assistant cash
Ter, had brooded over it under the
pressure of the work on law cases,
superinduced mental alteration, and
he took his life. 1t is also said that
dissipation, debt and dependency
had heap to do with it. He was
buried in Athens.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE AND SYMPATHY,
The Mistaken Notion of the Pupil That
The Teacher is His Enemy Must Be
Eliminated from His Mind.

SCHOOL DIscIpLINE.-The use OF
corporal punishment is survival O:
of the age of muscle-and we claim
now to have far entered upon the
age of mind. Still it is sometimes
necessary yet in the same way it is
sometimes necessary to answer q
fool according to his folly. But we
should use it sparsely-it is more
disastrous, far, to treat an honest
man as knave than to treat a
knave as an honest man. y
Some teachers whip a great deal !;
others not at all. Where is the diff
ference One word tells the whole.
SYMPATHY.-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 failures to
succeed in ali the world.
1t might cost some effort to ac>
quire it, some tact to express it; but
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-
pill; it would dignity and glorify the
teacher. s.-...
The best educators OF young and
old are those who have the gifts Cd
of perceiving dormant useful facul-
ties in their pupils which others do
not see, and of developing them; (2)
of ignoring dormant Objectionable
faculties which others cultivete, and
of putting them to sleep permanent
w."
Disciplining through moral infu-
ence, mental rather than physical
power-disciplining through that
sympathy, that thought touch that
creates understanding, confidence,
good feeling between pupil and
teacher, is the right method of
training the pupil into 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 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
which children now seldom realize.
The mistaken notion that the teach
err is his enemy must be eliminated
from his mind. He must be induced
to want to help the teacher, not to
circumvent him. This will lead !, to
his acquiring the art of self govern
ment, and his aims will become
wider and less selfish. Punishment
does not make boy less selfish il
increases selfshness. He Rshould
work for some higher object than to
avoid personal Inconvenience, and
most children are easily taught to
do SC. The child has latent 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 Is often disre-
garded.-Condensed from q paper in
Popular Education.

A dramatic 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 npon it.
Death followed instantaneously.
Thus We have another revival of an
ancient custom. Saul slew himself
by falling OH his sword, and in the
days of the old Romans suicide by
that mode was quite fad.

CHEsrERTowN, Md, Jan. 14.-Four
negroes were hanged here yesterday. The
streets around the jail were crowded early
In the forenoon by a mob bowling for ad-
mittance within the enclosure. Shortly
before the execution the citizens were
swarming on top of the high board fence
and trees in the vicinity. A portion of
the fence was demolished and the sheriff's
posse had q lively tussle with the crowd.
no one was seriously hurt.
IL was very cold and the guards and
spectators grew impatient as the hour of
l2.3O approached. "Bring them out"
they yelled. "If you don't hurry up and
hang them, we will" A joyous shout
went up from the crowd as the poor
wretches shambled to their places on the
scaffold.
As soon as the drop fell, a shout OF ex-
ultatlon arose from the men who crowded
into the jail yard and surrounded the
scanold. Williams and Brown died al
most without a struggle. Brooks and
Comeys went through appalling contor-
tions. Comeys was conscious for at least
five minutes While dangling from the
rope.
The old farmers who gathered about
the dying men laughed and soma even
cursed the negroes. The men died in
from ten to eighteen minutes. After the
execution the people quietly dispersed.

Making Spirits and High Wines for Use
as Beverages by Use of Adulterants.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 4.--Representative
Burrows OF Michigan yesterday intro
duced in the House long preamble and
resolution reciting the newspaper charge
that the whiskey trust is making spirits,
high wines and alcohol for use ss bever-
ages by the use of adulterants; that the
trust Is in conspiracy with the rectifiers
to that end; that the adulteration Is ef-
fected by the use of poisonous drugs, OF
which fact the retailers and cons umers
are In ignorance; that the spirits of the
rectif1ers law Is thus violated; that the
United States revenues are thus defraud-
ed by the diminution OF importations;
that the rectifiers are obliged to consume
only the product of the trust, under
heavy penalties; that the contractors are
In restraint OF commerce between the
states; wherefore, 1t is resolved that
special committee of five members of the
House be appointed to fully investigate
and report upon the subject, and espec-
islly what persons are connected with the
trust.

COLD WEATHER AND BUSINESS.
Cotton and wooIlen Mills Fully Employed
shoe Business Good.

shoe Business Good.
NEW YORK, Jan. H.-R. G. Dun & Co. g
weekly review of trade says: The pause in
business incident to the holidays seem to
last longer this year than usual, but severe
weather has given a powerful stimulus to
trade in heavy boots and shoes and wool
lens, and preparations for the spring bus
iness are going on actively and with the
utmost confidence.
In spite OF reports that more gold will
go abroad and in spite OF uncertainties re-
garding legislation on the money ques-
tion the business world seems inclined to
believe that there will be no serious finan-
cial embarrassment, especially as the av-
erage OF commercial indebtedness Is re-
markable low, and failures have been
comparatively unimportant. No inter-
ruption OF industrial activity Is seen,
through iron Is somewhat more depressed,
but In other important branches a dis
tinct Improvement is noticed In the prep
aration for spring trade.
At Boston, cold weather has good eff
feet; orders for boots and shoes have been
large, the factories are all busy, and job
bers stocks reported light. Cotton and
woollen mills are fully employed, with the
recent advance in woollens maintained and
clothing more active. Trade in leather is
good, with the prospects OF an advance in
sole and foreigS hides.
