President Adams Latest Denials
and Admissions

&Mu AuhuhonA Ohas
Boston, December %. - President
Adams, of the Union Pacific, says: "The
Oregon Short Line Consolidated Com
pany has now clear field, with no float
ing debt. Its account with the Union
Pacific was discharged through the re-
cent settlement, under which the Union
Pacific took bonds for advances made.
The Oregon Short Line will suffer loss
of half million dollars this year through
the Oregon Northern. but will, neverthe-
less, earn a surplus over all interest
charges. This deficit next year shall be
much smaller, II not wholly wiped out.
The Oregon Short Line has gotten
through it's trials. The country through
which 1T runs is really growing rapidly.
The Union Pacific would not today be
earning any surplus over it's interest
charges, but for the business done with
the Oregon Short Line.
''The entire Union Pacific system will
only build 200 miles of additional road
next year-145 miles in the Oregon Short
Line system to Phoebe, New. thirty-five
miles to connect the Cheyenne and
Northern with the Elkhorn division CT
the Chicago and Northwestern, and
twenty miles to make some connections
in Kansas. All the stories now current
in the newspapers as to the plans and
extensions and purchases OF the Union
Pacific on the Pacific Slope, are pure in
ventions, absolutely without basis"

WOm an and Biography.

"People are reading great deal more
biography than they used to-" said a
bookseller yesterday, "and biography is
paying the publisher nearly as we'll as
fiction, today.
at ia noticeable also that there is q
marked increase in the number of women
who are buying biography. Where we
used to sell one volume to woman we
now sell five. With the better claes of
women readers-women of culture and
intelligence-it is quite a rival to fiction.
"What kind OF biography do women
read? The lives of other women, for the
greater part. Marie Bashkritseff,' for
instance, is selling rapidly, and Miss
Alcott's Life and Letters is one of the
best selling books of the year, and nearly
all the copies of both these books are
bought by women. Women seem to be
most interested in their own sex. 1t was
we'll known to the book dealers, when the
life OF Nathaniel Hawthorne was written
by his son, that the sales of the books
were increased one-third by the addition
to the title OF his wife's name. 81 Woman

ATLANTA, Ca, December 23.-Henry
W. Grady died of pneumonia at twenty
minutes before O'Clock this morning.
A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
Henry w. Grady was a native Of
Georgia, though of direct Irish descent.
He was educated partly in the University
of Georgia. served in the Confederate
army during the latter part of the civil
war, and after peace was established
completed his education at the Univer-
sity Of Virginia. He adopted the pro-
fessioH of journalism after leaving col
lege, his first newspaper work being
done for the Atlanta Herald. When
this paper was absorbed by the Constitu-
ton he became the Georgia correspond
ent of the New York Herald. He also
became prolific writer of magazine
articles and pamphlets, setting forth the
resources and advantages of Georgia. In
this way be did great deal in attracting
capital to the State and in establish
ing the prosperity OF the New
South. He made some money
and secured an editorial place
on the Atlanta Constitution, and became
part owner of the journal, About two
years ago, during the famous prohibition
campaign in Atlanta, Grady arrayed
himself on the side of the cold water
people, while Captain Howell, his part
ner, went with the "wets." The result
was series OF editorials in the COnstitu-
hon on both sides, each writer signing
his editorials daily. The discussion at
tracted much attention throughout the
country
Mr.. Grady was an orator as we'll as
writer. His stirring speech on the
"New South" delivered at the banquet
of the New England society Of New
York City, few years ago, won him
fame, and he has ever since been recog-
nizsd as the mouthpiece of the progressive
Democracy of the South. His utterances
on the race problem have lately attracted
much attention, his last public speech
being made on this subject at Boston
only little more than week ago. He
contracted severe cold on his northern
trip, which developed into pneumonia,
resulting in his death few days after
his arrival home.
ENCoMIUMS ON THE DECEASED.
BOSTON. December 23.-Hon. Z. A.
Collins, when informed of Editor Grady'e
death, said: 81 gin stunned By the
news. He was in my judgment the most
brilliant man in the United States. He
had all the solid qualities Of good judg-
ment, perception of public needs, and
high and ardent patriotism. The repub-
lie may well mourn the untimely taking
off of as brilliant and patriotic man as
ever sprung from it's coil"
Jonathan A. Lane, President of the
Merchants Association, whose guest
Grady was at their recent dinner, said !:
"Boston will share in Atlanta's sorrow,
for during Grady's short stay in the city
he made many friends. don't think 1
ever came in contact with another
southern gentleman who made such a
pleasant impression on me-"
