A Sad Death,

One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in this city in some time oc- cured this morning when Mrs. R. L. Scott died at the home of her parsnts, MT. and Mrs. John c. McGrew, at Jonesboro. Mrs. Scott had been quite i'll for the past five months, but just recently it was the belief of every one in the family that She was on the road to recovery. She leaves besides her husband and 1-month-old child, her father. stepmother, three sisters and one brother
 It appeared this morning that Mrs. was able to join the rest of the family at breakfast. When Mir Scott left the house she seemed to be in the best of spirits but was taken suddenly i'll shortly after his departure. A phone message was delivered to him and he left at once for the house. Mrs. Scott died shortly after his arrival. Her death is particu- larly sad one, not only from the fact that she died so suddenly but also because she leaves the little child Funeral services will be conducted at the home tomorrow afternoon at clock by the Rev. J. N. McClusky, and the interment will be held at Cedar Hill cemetery. The following gentlemen have been selected to act as pallbearers E. A. Dudley, Jack Saunders, Wiilburn Smith, John Martin, w. F. Bum- gartner and Charles Briggs. The funeral will be in charge of Jacobs & Son of this city,

THE GIVING OF BONUSES.
Practice In New York Banks That

The president said: Gentlemen, you are at liberty to draw out the amount of your deposit, but think you had better leave it here and add to it' Not one cent has been drawn
 This giving of bonuses has been the ruination of many young men of lib- eral tastes. Of course, every small bank must follow in the footsteps of the mighty Morgan, or be counted among the down-and-outs. Morgan's bonuses were foolishly large. They came to be expected regularly.
 If clerk got salary of $5000 a year he felt quite sure of getting a bonus of $2500 at Christmas. The bonus at times amounted to as much as the full salary. So great was the faith in Mr Morgan that his men were ac- customed to discount the future. They deliberately speculated upon their pros poets, and usually won out. The $5000 man calculated on s7500, and spent his salary long before Christmas. If an e:.tra $2500 came along he was that much to the good.
 It would be interesting to know how many thousands of clerks in banks and brokerage offices overdiscounted their

MRS. R. i. SCOTT IS DEAD
President Lewis of the Council Is the First Man To File Expense Ac- count-Monday Is Tag Day
 In Bessemer.

Bessemer, April 1S.-(Special.)-o. w. Jefferson county jail for the past week on account of the murder of Conductor Woods, which occurred on the South Bessemer car line on last Tuesday evening, was released this afternoon about f o'clock and returned to the city about o'clock. MT. Winn had his preliminary today along with the others who had been arrested in con nection with the crime and the whole crowd were turned loose for lack of evidence.
 Mir Winn was interviewed in the barbershop this evening and he did not hesitate to state that he thought his arrest an outrage. He stated that the authorities had absolutely no grounds on which to arrest him and as mat ter of fact he believed they had gone just a little too far. He did not state what he intended doing but it is be- lieved that he intends to make an eff fort to make some one pay dearly for the trouble and inconvenience caused him.
 Al the time of his arrest he was at the city hall listening to the election returns in the primary and he was the most surprised man in the city when he was placed under arrest. He stated at the time that he knew nothing of the murder, and in addition to that they took him away from his business and have had him there ever since. In the meantime his business has suf- fered, and MT. Winn states that if ever an outrage was committed around here he was the worst victim.
 He stated to The Age-Herald repre- sentative this evening that he wanted to express his heartful thanks to his many friends in Bessemer who have stood by and believed him innocent of any wrong doing, and he stated that while he knew and felt that he had been the victim of some plot he was more than grateful for the many kind words spoken to him since his re- turn.

A report just received by the depart
ment of commerce and labor from
Consul General Wynne, at London,
shows the existence of form of gam
bling in England that has never been
put into practice in this country, great
as is the American craze to participate
in any thing that partakes of hazard.
The game referred to is the gambling
in ships by persons who take out insur-
ance policies on British vessels in
which they have not the slightest own
ership. The practice has grown to such
proportions that the government now
is undertaking to suppress it. With
this end in view a meeting of the rep
resentative ship-owners, underwriting
and other maritime interests has been
arranged, and the conference will be
held some time next month The object
of the conference will be to formulate
some plan, legislative or otherwise,
whereby without interfering with le-
ultimate insurance business, form of
speculation which induces to criminal
ity may be put to end.
This form of gambling is akin to the
insurance scheme noted in the cable

the British underwriters agreed to in
