LECTURE ON READING.

Charles Dudley Warner, in short lee
ture on Thursday before the Public Edu-
cation Association of New York, of which
Mr.. Schuyler van Rensselaer, is presi-
dent, among other things, said:
Literature. Is a stream into which has
flowed all that has ben thought, said and
done in the world, and when l speak OF
literature in the schools l mean putting
them into this fertilizing stream. Good
literature is as necessary to the growth
of the soul as good air is to the growth or
the body, and 1t is just as bad to put
weak thought into a child's mind as to
shut it up in an unventilated room. Its
soul is garden, In which one may sow
weeds or flowers and touching little
stories about Johnny and the little pig
Does Johnny love the little pig etc.-are
weeds / would not give children any
thing to read that would not like my
self, and wish no one had ever written
a word of Juvenile literature / would
not of course, give them Kant or John
Stuart Mill, and it. would not be neces-
sary, for there is plenty of real literature
that even the younger child would enjoy.
Every child that knows the tales of the
Odyssey loves themAthe little pig is no
where compared with Ulysses. Educa-
ton does not mean the requirement of
little informa ton, but contributes direct
ly to the growth of the soul. 1t is a good
thing for a person to know how to read,
Dut there was a time Wileu lew SOutu w
it, and we not only got on we'll, but much
of our greatest literature and works of
art that we rejoice in, but cannot initiate,
came from such q period. Times have
changed, however, and today 1t is neces-
sary that everyone should read, but to
teach child to read and not teach 1t
what to read Is to put dangerous weap-
on in it's hands. The habit of reading is
most desirable one, yet with some intel
ligent and educated people it is simply
a kind of dissipation. They read from
morning till night by daylight and lamp
light, book after book, and for all the
good it does them, one might as well have
turned the Croton water into them and
let it run through. That sort of habit is
better than, drinking and some other
things, but is productive of no mental i'm
provement" In conclusion, Mr.. Warner
said that non-literary teaching was as
bad for the teacher as, it, was for the pu-
pill, and that for that reason, if for no
other, literature ought to be introduced
into the schools

GEORGIA'S SCANDAL.
Witness Assert and. Others Deny That
Judge Reese Was Drunk on the
Bench-Judge Sweat's Sweating.

Atlanta, Jan. 1.-the charge against
Judge seaborn Reese of being drunk on
the bench was taken up today by the
house Investigating Committee. All the
testimony related to the September. term
of court in Madison county last year
Several witnesses swore that the judges
charge to the grand jury was unusual
more in the nature of temperance lect-
ure than regular charge. Some wit
nesses stated that Judge Reese was
drunk; others declared he was not drunk.
Perry Alexander, of Franklin county,
stated yI sslt that Judge Reese, speaking Of Tom
ought to be in HE'LL There was spirit
ed debate between John d. Shannon, a
witness, and Senator Carter the author
of the charges. Senator Carter tried to
get direct answer from Mr., Shannon on
Judge Reese'S condition. Mr.. Shannon
answered that he would not swear that
Judge Reese was either drunk or sober.
The sheriff of Madison county stated
that he took a gentlemans drink with
Judge Reese on the morning the court
was opened He did not consider the
judge drunk, as his honor shaved him
self and opened court with the same
hand. 1t came out In the testimony
that the judges charge, created a great
deal of discussion Some who. heard 1t
declared that 1t was sermon. Others
thought 1t was a moral lecture and still
Others pronounced 1t temperance adj
dress Some said that the Judge was
drunk at the time and others answered
that if it were true he ought to be kept
drunk all the time, because. his charge
was a good one. One witness, stated
that it was good thing, but in the wrong
place. The judge did not cali the atten-
ttion of the jury to all the law usually. re-
viewed by Judges when addressing grand
juries. 49,
1t was testified that the Judge said
damn" two or three times at dinner, but
he was not boisterous.
This afternoon the committee took up
1.-THE Sweat case again, and Bryan Collier,
Col T. R. Mills, of Griffith; T, A. Parker,
of Baxley, and Jacob Beach, of Glynn
county were examined. Collier was
manager of the Wigwam hotel two years
ago. He was Informed by his house
keeper that Judge Sweat and Mrs. Crosby
entered the hotel one afternoon by a back
stairway, built for a fire escape, and
seldom used. They remained up stairs
some time and were In the judges room,
but the door was not closed Mr.. Beach
stated that Judge Reese was his guest
at the hotel and he declared positively
that nothing improper in the JUDGES con-
duct occurred during their stay at that
resort 30 fN'e n1fe1
The investigation will be resumed to-
morrow. Ea41 : - L.i-f4as.Lts I

A STORY OF MCULLAGH.
Chicago Record.

To the Editor: When replied to Joseph
B. McCullagh for a. position as reporter
on the Globe-Democrat, in 1885, had
bene posted about his detestation OF
dudes, and wore an old suit-clean, but
almost threadbare. / had letters of rec
ommendaiton from Col. Burke, of the
Times Democrat, and from Col. Dore-
mus, of the Dallas News. which held in
my hand. ready for his inspection. I
made my speech rather disconnected by
the cool, calculating manner in which he
inspected me while doing so, and then
handed him my Credentials" He glanced
at the signatures, without reading the
contents of either of the letters, picked
up a slip of instructions and told me to
report the murder-e of Joe Roedeaux,
Frenchman,f who had been murdered
few minutes before in the French quar-
ter and then carefully placed my be-
loved papers in his pocket, without a
word of explanation.
Three hours later / handed him a very
carefully written report of the murder,
giving all of the details, which would
have filled two columns, preceded by my
own scare heads in six sections. CIV
ing all of the principal facts in short SEN
fences. Next morning I found that my
report had been KILLED at the enact
ing clause" for the report appeared in an
article about two inches long, under a
small head, "Foully Murdered" with all
the rest OF my sScdrt-Hedus pilHleu,
word for word. exactly as had written
them. as the body. of the item. Not a
word of the report appeared.
1t was beautiful Christmas morning
but l will never forget my feelings as
read that little Sitem.--I felt utterly
crushed, and, If had had my letters, Mr..
McCullagh would never have seen me
again. L. wandered around the hotel
corridors until time to report. when 1
presented myself before Little Mack
and asked for the return of the letters
To my unspeakable surprise and intense
delight he gave me an immediate assign
ment for special work. handed me huge
bundle wrapped in wrapping paper, and
while holding this package, the contents
of which were unknown to me, he pro-
ceeded to, give me instructions and de-
tail all of my failings in blunt but very
lucid sentences, winding up like the crack
of whip with: PUT those clothes on
and report for. duty in one hour My
head was actually swimming when 1 left
the room.
The package contained complete out
fit, including Shoes shirt, underwear, COL
lar. tie, and one of the best-fitting suits
/ ever wore, the total cost,of which could
not have been much less than $50
never saw my letters again, but when
I left, two years later, he wrote me the
best recommendations 1 ever received,
and was always ready to say good word
by wire if it was requested.
