ALL ARE MOURNING
MT. Grady's Death a Terrible
 Shock to the South.
AsAD CHRISTMAS FOR ATLANTA
The Funeral Will Take Place To-Morrow
 and There Will be No Display.

Special Memorial Services Will be Hold
 The Military and Societies win Take
 Part-Numerous Telegrams of Condo1-
 ence Received by Mrs. Grady.
 ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 24.-All Atlanta Grady. It was a terrible shock to the people here at his home-the people who knew him and who loved him best. Nobody would believe that Henry Grady could die when the first announcement was made of his serious illness. His friends seemed to treat the matter lightly. As one of them put it to-day, Fl could never associate Henry Grady with death," and so it seemed with everybody.
 The announcement that Henry w. Grady was dead fell like blow upon upon all Atlanta, and sad will be the Christmas of this city and this State. At o'clock in the afternoon of Christ mas Day the funeral ceremonies will take place.
 From every section of the State has come the request that his body m .ght lie in state, that the people might look upon his face once more. In response to this request the family have con- sented that the remains shall rest in the First Methodist Church, of which MT. Grady was leading member, from 9o'clock tomorrow morning until the funeral hour. Mrs. Grady's request is that there be no display, nothing but the simplest possible funeral. These requests will be carried out, and on Thursday special memorial services | will be held at the capitol, in which all the people. the military, and the socie- ties of which MT. Grady was nom Der, will take part. The speakers will be chosen from among MT. Grady's class mates at the University of Georgia.
 Numerous telegrams of coincidence have been received by Mrs. Grady. They include messages from Samuel J. Ran dall, Grover Cleveland. Governor Hill, Emory Speer, John Temple Graves, Patrick k. Collins, Roswell P. Flower, Clinton B. Fiske, and from c. H. l. Tay- Tor, the colored lawyer.

Career of Editor Grady.

Henry Woodfen Grady was born in Athens, Ga., in 1851. When the boy was 14 years old his father, colonel in the Confederate army, was killed in one of the last battles of the war.
 After graduating from the University of Georgia, Mir. Grady became corre- spondent of the Atlanta "Constitution, and gained through this medium local fame as a pungent and forcible writer. He then established the Commercial" at Rome, Ga, and with that he at tracted attention as 8 writer of edi- torial Strictures upon current, political and economic questions. Seeking 8 wider field, he went to Atlanta and be- came editor of the 'Herald." Here he established himself as one of the recog- nized journalists of the South.
 When that paper failed he was made one of the southern correspondents of the Now York Herald" He set syste- matically to work to reintroduce Geor- gia to the more active section of the Union, writing a series of letters, which were afterward published under the title of ''Sheep, Gold and Oranges" that had not little to do with the planting of orange groves in Southern Georgia and Florida, with the develop ment of wool culture and with the re- opening of the gold mines in his State and North Carolina.
 | MT. Grady became one of the editors and owners of the ''Constitution, and his versatility and force as writer has helped to make this Southern journal one of the foremost newspapers in the United States.
 MT. Grady contributed a number of articles on Southern subjects to ''Harper's Magazine and the Century | Magazine" which were widely read.
 Few speeches of late years excited SO much discussion or had so great an effect upon the country, as MT. Grady S famous address at the Forefathers' Day banquet of the New England Society in Brooklyn on '"rhe New South," in June, 1887. It made him at once famous as an orator.
 Almost his last words were as fol lows, addressed to his mother in a con- scious moment on Saturday: ''If I die, die serving the South, the land love SO we'll. Father fell in battle for it. l am proud to die talking for it.''

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

HE submits himself to be seen through a microscope who suffers himself to be caught in 8 passion.
 IF you borrow you must lend; there fore, whatsoever you are unwilling that men should borrow of you, borrow not of them.
 you can not expect to accomplish it with any degree of satisfaction to others or credit to yourself.
 THE more man follows Nature and is obedient to her laws the longer he will live; the further he deviates from these the shorter will be his existence.
 CULTIVATE every physical sense, but hold tight check-rein closely fastened at the brain and heart, that none of the physical senses may gain the ascend ency over the mental or spiritual per captions.
 LET every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life and every set ting sun b3 to you as it's close. Then it's sure record of some kind thing done for others, some goodly strength or knowledge gained for yourselves.
 DO NOT permit yourself to make a positive statement even about small matter unless you are quite sure; for if you do you will find the habit growing upon you, and by and by you will begin to make loose replies to questions of great importance. Don't be too certain.
 TRY the plan of paying cash for every thing you buy. If you have not got the ready money borrow 1t. The banker will loan it to you at less rate of in terest than you will have to pay the merchant for credit. When merchants sell on time without notes or security they are forced by necessity to covel their risks by charging high for credit. It will not pay you to make banker o1 your merchant. Pay him cash, even ii you have to borrow the money with which to do it.

A PAIR OF DUCKS.
How They Were tho Cause of B Ii
 Quarrel il n Church.

How They Were tho Cause of B Lively
 Quarrel in Church.
 A small country town in the southeastern part of this State, says the Boston TrarslIer, is at present enjoying as lively church quarrel as often falls to the lot of towns of its size to have, and it all has arisen over pair of ducks.
 It happened in this way: A clergyman from large city in the State of New York went to this town to take charge of one of the local churches, and, as later events proved, he was not well versed in the ways of the country. After he had been in his new location for about two months, one day he was walking along the street when he saw two ducks walking down the street. He liked the looks of these birds very much indeed, and he thought that they would make at least one good meal for him. No sooner had the thought struck him than he acted upon it, and taking duck under each arm he started on his way home.
 Arriving there he chopped the birds heads off and had them cooked for his din- ner He eat and was happy, but not many days later negro neighbor put in an ap- pearance and said the ducks were his and wanted to know by what right he had taken possession of them. The clergyman only pleaded innocence and offered to pay for the birds he had eaten. The colored owner said that they wero trained decoy ducks, and that he would accept Sl0 for the birds but bemoaned thelr loss. The clergyman. how ever, would or could not appreciate tho value of decoys, and declared he would only give the negro s25O. The negro finally accepted this amount under protest. The story, however, soon spread throughout tho village and caused no end of talk Some of the minister's parishoners talked pretty loud, and one woman declared that it was 8 shame that a clergyman should go through tho street and steal poor negro's ducks, and declared that the minister was no man if he did not pay the man Sl0.
 Those words came to the clergyman's ears, and great was his wrath thereat. He de clared that unless the woman took back her words and came and apologized to him he would expel her from the church. But her woman's temper was up and she reiterated her statements concerning her spiritual ad- wiser, and declared that he had ne right to eXpel her from the church. Thus it went on until Easter Sunday he declared at the morning service that Mrs. - was expelled from all further rights and privileges in the church. Since this time some of the other clergymen have become interested in the trouble, and are now endeavoring to hea! the breach and quiet the disturbed waters How their efforts will succeed remains to be seen.
 But it shows the tremendous power of ducks at times.

Seventeen Men Entombed in California
 MILTON, Cal, Dec. 24.-Messengers from Angels Camp, Calaveras County, report that cave-in occurred at the Utica mine, located at Angels, by which twenty mon were imprisoned. Three of them escaped without serious injuries. The remaining seventeen, with the possible exception of two, are supposed to have been killed outright. The two possible exceptions were at work in drift some distance from the main body of workmen and may possi- bly, be alive.
 The cave was caused by the heavy rains soaking the earth, and the mine is sid to have been improperly secured. Great excitement prevails, as many of the miners are married and with fam flies.

TRIAL BY JURY.


 Juror John Culver of Chicago is suf- fering from . good deal of unmerited abuse for his action in the Cronin trial. Those serving on jury take an oath, not to please an aroused public opinion, but to render . verdict in accordance with tho evidence presented, and the dictates of their consciences. A trial by jury would be no defence of personal rights if the jurymon were compelled to bring in verdict in accordance with what outsiders believed to be . proper judgment; for it might at any time happen that public opinion was preju- diced. In this case there was a popular demand for dramatical ending, which would have been secured by the capital punishment of the murderers; but it seems to us that, if the sentences i'm posed are vigorously enforced, even handed justice will be meted out as nearly as in most affairs of this world.
