there. SUSPENDED to-day on account of
a run with which they were threat
ened on account of the recent failures.
An assignment was made by the di-
rectors to Henry $. Butler, who has
taken possession. The bank had S25.-
oUo capital. and $4,000 surplus. which
was largely tied up in investments.
The big proportional deposit of about
SlN.CO was a constant menace and
a slight run was experienced Satur-
day, which Influenced the closing of
the institution.
The deposits are mostly in small
amounts. and the bank expects to be
able to liquidate in full Unless there is
a continued decline in assets. The
city of Superior had $13.21O in bank,
making nearly $50, 1000 lost by the CITY

Unnecessary Generosity.

Jose Maria, q Spanish brigand who
had received pardon Of the government
on condition that he renowned his eX.
citing and unlawful profession, used to
tell most entertaining stories Of his
past. On one occasion he said he had
robbed an English gentleman and his
servant Of their horses and everything
they possessed, save their clothes.
The Englishman was pleasant at.
tractive youth, and submitted to the
robbery with great good humor. This
appealed to Jose Maria, and as they
were forty miles from Seville, WHITTIER
the traveller was going, he determined
that he should not walk that distance,
and gave him back his servants horse
and a doubloon-slxteen dollars-out Of
the two hundred he had taken.
The youth thanked the robbCr warm.
", and added that he had still q great
favor to ask.
"Wlll you not return me my watch?'
he said. 1T was the parting gift Of
my dear father"
rs your father alive" asked Jose
Maria, land does he love you very
much"
ooh yes" said the youth, che lives
and loves me-
Then" said Jose Maria. 81 shall
keep the watch, for II your father
loves you so dearly, he is sure to give
YOU another"

W, II. Preece, the chief electrician o!
the English pCstofiice, has at last sue
ceeded in telegraphing without wires,
sending messages with rapldity aud
certainty from Penarth to WestonstI
per-Mare, q distance Of seven miles.
This distance has been exceeded be.
fore, but this is the first time that mes.
sages Of any number have been sent
quickly and correctly without wires
Mr.. Freezes method of telegraphina
consists IN exciting q series Of ethereal
waves in 4 given spot, from which they
radinte in every direction. He then
detects them by q receiver. The dots
and dashes OF the telegraphic code are
represented by the long and short
series Of waves. These waves are said
to be Of the same character rs those
which give Us the sensation Of light,
but they are longer and much slower.
The receiver he uses is one invented
by young Italian, who has done some
remarka bic things in electricity for one
who has had but little instruction In
the science. This wireless telegraph.
Ing is designed for use principally be.
tween ships in midoCean or between
lighthouses and the shore. The com.
ing century, which has SO much for US,
may see it used extensively upon land.

United States at Harper's Ferry to get
arms to murder yirginians, and he is
looked upon as a saint and his grave
an inspiration. I wonder if he didn't
take the shoes from off his feet. But
I must have some fresh air before /
quit. ] can't do justice to the subject,
and must wait until I peruse the die
tionary and find some more fitting
language wherew1th to vent my lnolg'
nation. AS it is, I am just voicing the
sentiments of our people-our whole
people. Any negro who seeks and
accepts postoffiee place in the south
is a fool-hardy fool, for there are
some lawless, desperate men in
every community north and south.
If Lincoln had Booth and
Garfield a Gulteau, how can a
defiant negro politician expect to
escape when the entire community is
against him? What wonld become Of
him in Versailles? What good will
his arms do him even though furnished
by the government? Now look at the
folly of these Negro politicians. There
is Dent, the superintendent Of the ne
gro schools in Rome. He has good
place and good salary, but wants the
Rome postotfice. Well, of course, he
will be turned out of the school and
he will be miserable in the postoffice
# he gets it, and every white man, wo-
man and child in Rome will hate Nc
Kinley for it. It seems to me that I
would rather have the love and respect
Of the people than their hatred and
contempt. BILL ARP, in Atlanta Con

The coolie whom jealousy drove IN
