His Wonderful Popularity.

MIR. Childs was probably as widely known
as any man in the United States, and there
can be no doubt that he was by far the
best known resident of Philadelphia. His
popularity in this city was wonderful. He
was familiar figure on Chestnut street
from the fact that when he was in the city
he always walked to and from The Ledger
Office, and SO regular was he in his habits
that il he did not appear on the street at
about the regular time people began to in
quire whether he was i'll.
The news of his last illness spread over
the city in an almost incredibly short time
after he was attacked, and inquiries as to
his condition began to pour into The Ledg-
er office within a few minutes, and keen
interest was shown until the hour of his
death
To all appearances Mr.. Childs was a ro-
bust man, yet his constitution was very
delicate. He was of highly nervous tenn
permanent, and with the attack which
proved to be the beginning of his last ILL
ness came almost complete nervous pros
tration. Those who knew him best be-
heve that he was never a thoroughly happy
or contented man since the death of his
boom companion and business partner,
Anthony ]. Drexel. They were almost in
separable in their companionship, and it
was a sad blow to have so near friend
carried off so suddenly.
George w. Childs Drexel, the youngest
son of the deceased banker, was several
years ago determined upon AS the one who
should succeed his father in his interest in
The Ledger The senior Drexel owned a
half interest in the paper, and this interest
became the property of the son upon his
fathers death. Young Drexel had been
carefully educated and trained with this
end in view, and he had a remarkable apti-
tude for the career which had been chosen
for him. Shortly after his fathers death
his name was placed at the head of the edi-
torial columns of The Ledger as the pub
Usher along with that of Mr.. Childs as edi-
tor and proprietor.
Mr.: Childs' private Office in The Ledger
building, which has long been regarded as
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1894-02-03

garded as a hopeless case many of his
friends had almost come to believe that
after all he would be able to pull through
and was already on the road to recovery.
The news of his death spread like wildfire
to all parts of the city early this morning
and today it is the theme of almost uni
versal conversation and a source of great
est sorrow.
There were present at Mr. Childs' bed
side when he died George c. Thomas and
James w. Paul of the firm of Drexel &
Co., Mr.. and Mrs. John DreXel, Miss Pc
terson, niece of Mrs. Childs; Miss Stanley
companion of Mrs. Childs, and Colonel Ed
ward de Morrell.
His Last Illness.
Mr. Childs' last illness began with a
fainting spell, which seized him while he
was in his office in The Ledger building at
o'clock on the afternoon of Thurday,
Jan. IS, just as he was putting on his over
coat preparatory to going to his home at
Twenty-second and Walnut streets He
was alone at the time, and when an at
tendant who heard him fall reached his
side he was totally unconscious DR.. Da
Costa, his family physician, was hastily
summoned, and restoratives We're applied,
with the result that in an hour the patient
was able to walk, with the assistance of
two strong men, to his carriage, which
stood at the door. He was conveyed to his
city home, and Mrs. Childs, who was at
the country place in Wooton, was sum-
moned.
DR. Da Costa called in Drs. Lydy and
Morris, and these three issued a statement
that Mr.. Childs illness was nothing more
than an attack of vertigo arising from in
digestion, from which he would soon re
cover.
The news of his illness brought hosts of
inQuiring friends from thEs city to the door
and hundreds of anxious inquiries by mail
and telegraph from those abroad. To all
was given the assurance that Mr.. Childs
was not seriously i'll. On the following
Sunday night, however, the physicians re-
luctantly admitted that paralysis of the
lower limbs accompanied the attack, which
was in reality a second attack of apoplexy.
From that time on there have been alter
mating periods of hope and fear, as the
semidaily bulletins announced changes for
the better or the worse, until at midnight
last night came the announcement that
hope was dead and dissolution imminent.
There is but little reason to doubt that
the immediate cause of the attack was
overwork and anxiety attendant upon his
efforts to see that the memory of his life
long friend, the late A. j. Drexel was
properly HOuoFeu. All VI the udg upon
which came the attack was spent by Mr.
| Childs in preparing for the Drexel memo
| rial services held in the DrcXcl institute on
! Saturday, Jan 20 two days after the fatal
| Thursday. Twice during the day Mr.
Childs had gone in person to the institute,
and in person he had seen that all neces-
sary arrangements were completed.
His enforced absence from the ceremony
worried him profoundly, and to this fact
was largely due the relapse which occurred
on the night of Sunday, Jan. 81, since which
time there has been an uneasiness in the
minds of those who knew his condition
which amounted to almost a certainty that
| he could not recover.

Tvbee,s Freight Charges.

Editor Morning News: Allow me to
state few facts concerning the TyDee
railroads charges on freight, etc. had
occasion to move my household effects to
Tybee this week, as / usually do every
summer, having had cottage on the
island the past fifteen years. A can of
kerosene oil was listed at 80 cents: a
shipment of lumber which cost $l2 was
charged IS for freight, and everything
else in proportion.
Such rates as these will force residents
on the island to have their freight go
down by boat for half the amount now
charged unless the railroad makes some
reasonable reduction. AS matters now
stand the charges are outrageous, and
will compel residents and others who eK-
pect to 20 TO Tybee for the summer TO
wait until they can make some arrange
ments to charter small steamer to carry
their provisions, etc, 10 the island.
The people do not propose to be mulcted
in this manner to assist in repaYing the
contractors of the road all at one time.
AS the passenger and freight rates now
stand it looks as if the road intended to
get as much as possible out of their
patrons to decrease their Indebtedness as
fast as possible. A TYBEE CITIZEN.
