LIABILITY OF BANKERS.
Held Responsible For the Acts of Dis.
honest Employee.

CHICAGO, June 9.-The United States
court of appeals rendered a decision de-
fning the liability of bank officers for
the actions Of dishonest employees. The
ruling is in the appeal of the National
Bank Of Oshkosh. Wis. from a mort
gage Of Sl5.1l5, given in favor Of Mrs.
Margaret Munger. Sums of her money
amounting to about $9o, 900 are said to
have been taken from the bank by
Frank Heilig, who had for a long time
been paying and receiving teller of the
bank, and whom Mrs. Munger is said to
have designated as her agent. Most of
the money was drawn without her au-
thority, and the court holds the bank
officers guilty of negligence and
affirmed the judgment of the lower
court. Judge Jenkins. in delivering the
opinion, said:
THE cashier and president of a bank
may not shut their eyes to what is 60
ing on around them. They are placed
in control and supervision of those
under them and that supervision
should be vigilant."

AUGUSTIN DAILY DEAD.

Suddenly in Paris.
PARIS. June 9.-Augustin DAILY, the
New York theatrical manager, died
suddenly during the afternoon of heart
failure. He arrived here last Saturday
and was stopping at the Hotel Conti-
mental.
The late Augustin Daily was born in
Plymouth, n. c., July 20. 1888. He
began his literary career as dramatic
editor of The Sunday Courier in New
York city in 1859 spd he continued to
discharge similar functions until 1869,
when he opened the Fifth Avenue thea
ter on Twenty-fourth street. Early in
August, 1879, he established Days
,heater on Broadway, and several years
ago he opened in London a thoroughly
equipped house under the same name.
For several seasons he managed the
Grand Opera House in New York. His
Career as a Dramatic Author
began in 1862 with an adaptation from
the German of Mosenthals 'Devorah,"
and since that he Had produced
many original plays among them obi
yorce." ''PiQue," Horizon Under
the Gaslight." and numerous adapta-
tions from French and German drama
lists. He achieved also a notable dis
tinction i'll the presentation Of Shakes
pearean plays, although his production
in this field was the source Of conflict
ing criticism. IN recent years the COM
bination Of players with which his
name has been identified-Daly's Com
pany Of Comedians-has achieved an
international reputation under the lead
ership of Miss Ada Rehan, whose re-
markable talents have constituted a
leading factor in the success Of his I'M
dertakings. Mr.. DAILY devoted all his
time to his theatrical enterprises and
was a we'll informed student of the dra-
matte literature of many nations,

BIGGEST GAME CLUB.

Sportsmen to Preserve 10000 Square
Miles Of Territory.
SporSmen's clubs have become COM
mon enough with rich men who delight
in bagSing game, and many of them
have been organized upon grand
scale. but all become Insignificant be-
side the proposed ST. John club. which
will preserve 10000 square miles of
Canadian territory. OF course, this
will have to be fenced in, and the cost
of this fence will be 81, 250, 900, which
gives an idea of the magnitude of the
undertaking. The organizers of this
club. and most of the members are
Americans, although there will be
few prominent Canadians and English
men. The membership will number
many thousands. which is possible be-
cause Of the resources of the great ter
ritory. The initiation fee has been
placed at $500. although this will likely
be increased.
Already more than $4,000 has been
expended in securing the fishing waters
of Lake ST. John and tributaries. All
the rivers flowing in from The north
and west. some of which are two hun
dred and three hundred miles long. and
all the waters connected with them.
are included. Arrangements are also
being made with the Quebsc govern
inert for securing two immense tracts
for game parks. each having 1000
square miles. They will be fenced in
with wire netting. In addition to
moose. deer. elk and caribou. it Is pro
posed to stock these parks with the
best species Of foreign game and bros
from localities having similar climatic
cu06itiona.

Economically the Heaviest One the
South Has to Bear.
The south has not only to bear the
political evils which come from the
negro's presence and also the racial
disturbances, but the heaviest burden
of all, and one which is seldom alluded
to, is the economic burden, the ex-
pense to the south of keeping the ne
gro, says the Nashville American. This
is what the south must reckon with
and what must stir the southern people
sooner or later to considering the ne
gro probleG earnestly and deeply.
What per cent of the southern negroes
We are not informed.
but we think we can safely say that
were there is one n-producing
white person in the north there are
three non-prOducing negroes in the
south. Whole families are dependent
upon the kitchens and homes of white
families. Even those who are produ-
GERS are in the main day laborers with
out initiative and without any of those
faculties which uplift and make
wealthy a community or state or ma
ton, and are a charge upon the COM
munity at some time in their life Given
a southern city Of $4,000 people, 80 Is
per cent of which is negroes. take the
white population suddenly away, and
in less than two years that city would
be grown up in weeds and given over
to the bats and owls. In other words,
the negro is not in proportion to his
population an aid to the white man
in building up, developing and civiliz-
ing a country. The negro is econom-
ically the heaviest burden the south
has to bear How is it to be lightened?

BUYING VOTES WITH PEANUTS

New School Methods In Milwaukee
Develop Rascally Children.
An experiment has lately been tried
in one Of the public schools of Mil
waukee and by it's opponents pro-
nounced a failure, says Harper's Ba-
Ear. The aim of its originator. Mr..
r. ]. O'Hanlon, was this-to introduce
into the school life of the child a form
of training which would equip him for
duties of citizenship on his entrance
into the world of grown-up men and
women. A form Of government was
therefore introduced into the school,
which was modelled upon that exist
ing in the city Of Milwaukee itself. A
mayor was appointed, aldermen were
elected, constitution adopted. There
were judges, policemen, comptrollers
and no end of other officers. The best
principles of the best governed were
laid down and the boys and girls
there was no distinction of sex-were
set about governing themselves. But
the amount of chaos and corruption
that ensued brought protests from the
parents and even the scholars them
selves. Studies were neglected and
brides given and taken. Instead of
lesson of self-government being ac-
quired, all the evils of the most cor
rupt form of municipal government
were practiced. Mr.. O'Hanlon, not dis
couraged, says that only the prejudices
of a community were against him;
that, given a longer time, his system
would have proved itself. 1T is the
height Of absurdity," he says. Ito make
the school an autocracy and to sub
stitute an external conscience for tie
right Of self-control." But, with votes
bought and sold for peanuts and pen
MES, the parents cried halt-time
enough to learn how bad municipal
government might be when necessity
for action confronted him! Still, it
would have been interesting to know
whether Mr.. O'Hanlon was right and
whether a longer trial would have
proved a real success, demonstrating
beyond question that, even among chill
dren, the principle of self-government
has in it all the elements for bring
ing about the eradication Of those evils
which at first seem always to be en-
gendered by it
