EXACTNEss.
In nothing else do teachers fail
o than in eXactness. They are
content to prepare their own lessons
so that they understand the main
points, and leave uninvestigated the
minutip. Teachers who are not,
themselves, exact, can hardly be eX-
pected TO properly train children in
this important element Of good char
acter. Children should be taught
that it is notsufficient for them to
know something about their lessons
but they must master them. In
their recitatiOns they should be re-
quired to say just what they mean,
and not permitted to say something
about it and leave the teacher to
guess at the rest. In their written
examinations they should have cred
it for what they put on the paper,
and not what they '~'intended' to
write.

All through the night previous wounded and
dead were brought over to this side of Pera.
We kept hungry until O'Clock in the morn
ing, because all the stores were closed. That
morning some rough Turks at Samatia killed
thirty Armenians and few women.
The Christians resisted them for few hours,
but after their cartridges were exhausted they
sur rendered themselves Thereupon the Kurds
attacked their houses, pill aging them and any
Armenian that they noticed in the street they
murdered at once. On Thursday morning at
3 O'Clock we again heard those reports louder
than yesterday, and this lasted until half-past
3 continually. The dead and wounded were
brought over with express and monhajir
wagons. At 8 O'Clock I went out with great
fear In my breast, because it was very crit
lcal moment to getout, and when went home
found all the ladies locked up in room and
crying bitterly
Great silence dominated every street, and
this was sign of great danger. All the
lights were put ont in the houses, and we were
watching through the windows, afraid some
Kurds or Turks would come in and murder u.s.
A few times just slight sound of the fall of q
stone or plank would terrify us. At last
morning came and founa us half awake.
On Friday morning / did not go out but
from our neighbors heard that on Thursday,
from two until half-past one in the night,
kurds had attacked all the principal CONNER

ians, on the streets OF Tchakmokeliilar and

MRS. MARCEAU SUED
Shreve and Company Want Payment
for $11OO Worth OF
Goods.

Shreve & Co., jewellers, filed suit yester-
day against Mrs. Amanda j. Marceau for
$1OS7 95 for goods sold and money loaned
during the past year or so to the former
wife of Theodore c. Marceau.
The creditors attorneys, Fox & Gray,
were busy late yesterday afternoon trying
to learn from Fresno just what real prop
erty Mrs. Marceau possesses in that
county and how heavily it is mortgaged,
for they wish to get lien on something.
Soon after the divorce was granted Mr..
Marcean brought suit against his former
wife for $75 600. which he claimed to have
loaned her at different times on her
Fresno property. Yesterday that suit
was dismissed at the request of the plain
tiff, who it is understood agreed to COM
promise on a cash settlement for $40, 900.
That amount Mrs. Marceau purposes TO
raise by mortgaging her Fresno property.
Mr.. Short of Fresno, Mrs. Marceau's 8
lawyer, was here yesterday 10 arrange for
the transfer of the $40, 900, local building
and loan association having agreed, it is
said, to advance that amount on the
Fresno real estate.

BANKS OF CALIFORNIA
Report of the Commissioners to
the Governor of the
State.
An Actual Loss of More Than Four
Millions of Cash in Thirteen
Months.

Paris Kilburn, ]. B. Fuller and II. w.
Magee, Bank Commissioners of California.
have forwarded to Governor Budd the
eighteenth report of the commission. The
number of banks in the State is 3O3.
Toral money in banks of California, in
Guiding National banks, S21, ,775, 1852 50;
total assets, $303, $3.50, ,772 %; total amount
due depositors, $202. .663 6O2 a. The num-
Der of commercial banks actively conduct
ing banking business is 174. The incor-
porated State savings banks number fifty
seven.
From an examination of the aggregate
resources of the commercial banks, as
shown by their reports of June IL, 1896, as
compared with the report of July 81, 1896,
it williappear that there has been a loss OF
$8, ,093, ,008 80 in resources during the year.
The amount of cash on hand June IL,
1895, vas $19053 248 AZ, and on July 81,
1896. $14, ,654, l82 81, showing loss in cash
during period of thirteen months OF
81, 399, ,065 60. This large reduction, says
the report. lis accounted for in some
measure by the withdrawal from CONNER
cial use of 81, ,575, ,607 Is of county or public
money, and also bv the distrust and con-
sequent withdrawal of gold caused by the
financial agitation incident to the near
approach of the Presidential election"
The savings banks have not lost con-
siderable amount. The mum Der OF depos-
itors in San Francisco savings banks is
12S. 484; in interior savings banks, 81, ,372:
total number. 159 S56, making an avera ge
deposit of 1923 81. The deposits in saw
ings banks on July 81 1896, amounted to
$13I, ,6j3, ,634.
The Commissioners recommend some
revision of the laws. 1t is their opinion
that the merging of savings and CONNER
cial banks should be prohibited. The
law should be amended providing that
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-09

when bank is declared insolvent re-
ceiver should be appointed by the court to
take charge of the affairs of the bank
while it is in litigation, with the power
placed in the commission to fix the salary
of the receiver.
It is also recommended that loans made
to officers and directors of commercial
banks should be approved by at least three
members of the board of directors, who
are not directly or indirectly interested in
said loans and that said approval should
be indorsed upon the note or obligation
executed by the bank.
1t is recommended further that the re-
ports of the president and secretary OF
bank shall be revised by the directors.

day who viewed their military evolutions
can be accepted as criterion, San Fran
cisco must feel she has reason to be proud
of them. The event was the first of what
is to be annual parades.
They presented an imposing and mag
nificent appearance. There were 800 plain
policemen in line, forming the fifteen
companies of the department. Two Off
GERS, sergeant and corporal were also
afoot with each company, and five cap-
tains were either mounted or afoot. Aside
from these there were dozen mounted
officers making in all about 450 pol cemen
in full regalia, bright, clean and active, in
the parade.
All along the line of march, from Spear
and Market streets to and along Van Ness
avenue, the sidewalks were almost i'm
passable, so crowded were they with peo-
pie, who did not hesitate to give vent to
their admiration by prolonged cheers.
The Police Commissioners, Alvord,
L obin and Gunst, who were near the head
of the procession and who reviewed The
men. were more than gratifed at their
showing and, through Chief Crowley, they
so expressed themselves to Captain Witt
mans command in Assembly Hall after
the parade.
Men," said he Chief, 81 want to say
in behalf OF the Police Commissioners and
my self that we are all well pleased with
the work you have performed to-day. In
fact / know that if ever the time comes
when we may be called upon you will be
able to acquit yourselves well of the duty
you are expected TO fill, and men who are
drilled are thousand per cent better pre-
pared for joint action"
Captain Whitman then called upon his
men to give three cheers for their Chief,
and the cheers came with will.
AT 80 o'clock verything was in readi-
ness in the neighborhood of Market and
Smear streets and the ordar tn N, ,arch I'M
