The foregoing is as simple as A. B. c., and

shows that the gentlemen who operate The

twelve thousand dollars of their own money
to start and maintain the bank Confding out-

extent Of $65,I3I.II, plus $3o5o8.o2 The men
inside the bank put up $I2,ooo the men out
side the bank put up $Io4,72oI3!!!
The outsiders get four per cent interest on
$50, 5o8.o2 of the deposits That amounts to
$I,583.02 per year. It does not appear that
any interest is paid for the use of the "Individ-
ual deposits" $o5,I3I.II.
Therefore, the bank gets the use of more
than one hundred thousand dollars by paying
little over fifteen hundred dollars
The net earnings Of the bank are $4,000 of
Surplus Fund, $4,oI6.47 Undivided profits.
1t will be noticed that the men inside draw
interest on loans to the aggregate Of $5I,753.oo,
although only $4,000 of their own cash could
possibly be available for loans.
The sum of eight thousand dollars stands
clear gain on the investment of twelve thou
sand dollars, over and above taxes, furniture
and fixtures, and expense of management
The joker in the banking business is that
the banker never gets rich by using his own
capital. The untutored public furnishes the
cash, and the banker pockets the profits.

Peter and the Cock CyOuinq.

In the King James translation of the Bible,
we are told that when Simon Peter was so
loud and emphatic in his professions of read
mess to die for his Lord, Our Saviour turned
upon him and rebuked him, saying that the
cock should not crow before Peter had thrice
denied his Master.
The narrative then proceeds to show how
the prediction was verified.
A few years ago, one of the finest European
scholars brought out translation of the New
Testament in modern English. 1t is a most
interesting work, and throws much light on
passages which were, on account of the early
translators, left in some doubt.
For instance, the verses referring to Peter
and his three denials is thus rendered,
will you lay down your life for me-? re-
piled Jesus II tell you most assuredly that
the bugle will not sound, until you have thrice
denied me-"
Ferrar Fenton, M. r. A. S., M. c. A. A.,
the learned translator from whom the above
quotation is taken, tells us that the Roman
buge was called in Latin Gallus the cock, or
Grower When Christ spoke of the three de-
malls which Peter would make before the cock
crew. he meant THE ARMY BUGLE SIG
MAILING THE RELIEF OF THE GUARD.
This is not very important, but it is GER
tainly interesting. What say Our learned the
ologians? Is it right to say that Peter denied
his Lord thrice before the bugle blew for the
regular relief of the Roman Guard, or must we
stand by the King James version?

is every person who puts an end to his life
insane within the meaning of the law? Or, is
suicide the result of that sudden and irresisti-
bic impulse which even the normal mind can
not withstand?
A rich society woman, Mrs. Pierre Lorillard,
Jr., killed herself at about the same time
George Bell rang down the curtain,-but who
that saw and heard her at the brilliant society
function, which she had just left, would have
testified that she was lunatic?
Lawrence Boyle, the Philadelphia editor,
blew his brains out, not long before the pass
ing of Bell-but he had given no signs of being
insane.
At nearly the same time, Aqulla Chase,
veteran of the Union Army, put an end to his
life in New York because he could not get
place to work for a living: but his conduct
had shown no mental arrangement prior to
his suicide
No one can dogmatize on matters of this

indeed, who can say that something far more

In his prison, he could look forward to moth
ing but years of wretchedness, ending perhaps

a few days found life worth living. Then
some sort of reaction took place, some unbear-

support gave way-and the end came.

The Last of the Geo. Bell Case.


After being at large for month, George
Bell, who had for about three years been held
in the State Sanitarum at Milledgeville com
mitted Suicide.
Certain editors have mora1ized upon this
Sub ject, and have censured those who were in
strutnental in bringing about the unfortunate
mans release
The Jeffersonan took hand in the fight for
Bells liberty, and it has no inclination to
shirk the responsibility.
The man had been tried, in his absence, and
adjudged lunatc This was a violation of
law which deserved rebuke upon general prin-
ciples. It concerns every citizen to see to it
that nobody is deprived of his life, or his lib
erty, or his property without due process of
law.
If George Bell had been on trial for crime,
no matter how light the prospective punish
ment, his presence at every stage of the case
would have been absolutely necessary. He
might have been present at the hearing Of all
the evidence, might have heard every argu
ment and the charge of the court, but had the
jury been allowed to announce the verdict,
while he was absent from the courtroom, the
whole trial would have been void
So jealously do Anglo-Saxon institutions
SudTQ the sacred VI pCASOHd1 1lUCAly!
In the Bell case, it was admitted that he had
been tried and convicted Of Lunacy, i'll his alb
sence, and deprived of his liberty by sentence
of court and jury. This being 50, his detention
in the Sanitarium was without authority of
law.
What the Jeffersonian contended for was
that Bell was entitled to fair hearing:
CD On the legality of his commitment
(2) On his sanity at the time of the hearing.
It was perhaps mainly due to the advice of
Mr.. Watson that the case was brought before
Judge H. G. Lewis on Writ of Habeas Cor
pus. That upright and able jurist heard both
sides, patiently and at length. Upon the mer-
its, he held the dentention of Bell to be illegal
The facts admitted Of no other decision.
AS to what happened afterward, we are not
fully informed. Bells conduct and converse
ton were those of sane man, for some time
following his release. His father, his brother
and his sisters were convinced of his perfect re-
storation to mental health. 1t was happy
family, reunited, which returned from the hear
ing at Greensboro, showering thanks upon all
who had helped the prisoner to regain free
DOM
Then came news Of the divorce suit filed by
his wife; and rumors of prolonged spree in
Atlanta and then the suicide
