Grady: No character in history, ancl«nt or modern, who bore an untitled name and fell iu the ranks of private citizenship ore he reached his 40th year ever left behind him so many grief stricken hearts and tear stained faces, or such an abiding sense of irreparable loss as H. W. Grady. Meosured by this comparison, his grand personality assumes proportions which could not be comprehended while he lived. "The young men of Atlanta have inaugurated a movement to erect a monument to hiB memory commensurate with the proportions, not alone to his memory, for that is imperishable in the Hearts of his people, but also as an inspiration to future generations of young men, guiding their inspiration and ambition into paths of useful philanthropy, and lofty solf sacrificing patriotism.

Barn*, fencer, telegraph poles and grjat trees were prostrated as it mere loys in a giants' grasp. Ag the main body of the storm struck Onondaga Lake a novel and at the same time a terrible sight was witnessed. Dense volumes of water, in the shape of inverted cones, were picked up and hurled with vialMt force upon the shore and builliogs adjacent. The water display lasted, with brief intermissions, fully fifteen minutes. The harde t looking lot of moil in Bostor responded and were fed at tho table. Every man had a plate of roast turkey, nicelj cooked, with a dish of potatoes, another oi corn, a cup of coffee, a piece of mince pie, at orange and an apple. No Christmas dinnci in Boston was more thoroughly enjoyed. After the dinner there was an affecting scene. The Rev. A. P.

Then he made a speech on the ways of the transgressor, and eighty-three confessed sinners arose and asked the clergyman to pray for them.

They opened fire at the man in the cab, and he slowed up a little, lea pod from the engine and escaped into the woods. The men on the switch engine had no time to follow. They heard the roar of the fast approaching freight train, and, with less than ten seconds to spare, got the two engines on a side track in time to avoid a collision. "The monument is already assured. The unparalleled spontaneity of response to the unpublished appeal which zealous friends on the first day of the organization of the movement has removed all question as to enough funds being raised to build a glorious tribute to mankind. This address is, therefore, issued, not as an appeal, but in order to extend the high privileges of giving to this noble cauBe, a privilege we do not wish to confine to any class or to any locality. W hile Atlanta claims him and his monument, and therefore fittingly takes the lead in tho movement, she recognizes that this whole republic and that the whole people should have the pleasure of aiding in the perpetuation of the name and of the fame of him who surrendered his life in an effort to bring about peace and good will bet we en all sections." 25° STORE The Prince of Wales' Gifts.
