Colonel Frederick ID. Grant, son OF
the great soldier, is just showing that
he is like his great father In more
than looks, Like the general. he Is
showing his best qualities In middle
age. General Grant was middle-aged
when the war broke out and prior to
this his life had been series Of fall
ures.- save for some honorable service
in Mexico. The war gave him an OPP
portunity TO show what was really In
him. In the case Of Colonel Grant, he
showed no special qualities as a boy.
and he did nothing special at West
Point. He made an amiable minister
to foreign country. where he really
had nothing to do. In business with
his father he cut no figure. Since his
I appointment as a Police Commissioner
IN New York he has shown in the
short time he mas been In office that
he is a stronger man that he has here
! tofore shown himself TO be. This is Il
time when the New York police are
undergoing a thorough reorganization
and the work is an important one. II

DEATH OF MRS. HuRTeL.

The many friends of MT. Gordon Hur- tel, city editor of the Atlanta Journal. will be pained to learn of the death of his estimable wife, which sad event oc- cured at their home in Atlanta last Sat- urday.
 The funeral occurred Monday after noon, and, in speaking of it, the Atlanta Constitution of yesterday says:
 "The funeral of Mrs. c. N. Hurtel took place from St. Luke's church yesterday morning at II o'clock.
 Beloved in life this noble Christian lady is sincerely mourned in death. A large gathering of friends filled the sanctuary and many fearful faces be- trayed the sorrowful hearts that lay be- hind them. The floral offerings were very beautiful and completely covered the bier in which ashes of the gentle sleeper rested.
 The services were conducted by Rev. J.. R. Mccormick in a very impressive and solemn manner, after which long pro- cession of friends followed the remains to the cemetery"
 Mr. Hurtel Is a brother of Mrs. w. c. Garrett of this city. He was for long time connected with Birmingham jour- naliSm

TO SECURE A NEW HOME
The Southern Club Considering the Purchase of Valuable Property to Be Used
 as Club Rooms.

A special meeting of the Southern club was held last night at the club rooms on First avenue to consider the subject of a permanent home.
 The lease on the present rooms expire next spring, by which time the club will either have to again lease the present rooms or secure new quarters. For the past several months the club has had un- der consideration two or three proposi- tions, but the one deemed most feasible is the purchase of the Linn property at Fifth avenue and Twentieth street, now occupied by Capt. w. H. Graves and fam fly.
 At the meeting last night committee consisting oi Messrs. John Mcqueen, A. R. Dearborn, J. R. Carter, John M. Cald- well and H. B. Gray was appointed to certain If it could be made suitable for club room purposes and also to ascer- tain the terms upon which it could be purchased. The committee was also in- structed to ascertain If either of the other three corners at Fifth avenue and Twen- tieth street could be purchased, and if so the terms.
 The committee will report back to the club at meeting to be held next Monday night.
 The club is in splendid financial condi- tion, having a considerable sum of money in bank and furniture and fixtures valued at $5000

 "Peck's Bad Boy.'
 With a strengthened cast, entire new scenery and costumes, rewritten plot, and a clever company of speciality per formers, the outlook for the engagement of the "Peck's Bad Boy" company. which will be at O'Briens tonight and at matinee this afternoon, is very promis- ing. With the exception of the name scarcely vestige of the former produc- tion remains. For the last ten years this play has been before the public It was dramatized from the famous bad boy sketches by MT. Charles F. Pidgn. The sketches were written by the Hon. George W. Peck of Milwaukee, editor of Pecks Sun, and, at one time, governor of Wis consn. Every one who has read the book should profit of the opportunity to see the dramatization of that most laugh able of books. The play Is moral in every respect, and tends to show that a boy may be mischievous and still not bad. The management have introduced into the comedy some of the strongest metro- politan novelties and made a special feature of the latest and most popular music. Special attention has also been given to the costuming and stage setting, and there may be expected one of the strongest and most enjoyable entertain ments of the season.
 "Tho Old Lime Kiln.''
 The Katie Putnam company, which will be seen at O'Brien's opera house here next Friday and Saturday in C. T. Dazey's sensational comedy drama ."The Old Lime Kiln" will show such an increase of strength and such an addi- tion of interesting features as to warrant the prediction that larger audiences and greater satisfaction than ever before will attend the presence of this always popu- lar and welcomed comedienne The list of names on the company's roster speaks for itself. It includes Herbert Cawthorn. an Irish comedian, who has been a sue cessful star for years past but was in duced by the guaranty of princely sal ary to forego his own tour for the pres ent season and become a member of this company; J. T. Kilgour, a prominent leading man. whose work heretofore has been confined to the best stock compa- nies in New York, Boston and Chicago: Harry B. Emery. J. A. Devlin. T. B, Findlay, Leonard Mitchell. b. M. Kim ball, Susie Forester Anna Watson. Eleanor Wynn, Joseph I. Devlin and oth- CTS. The play will be produced in man. ner worthy of any metropolitan stage. As a scenic production it will compare favorably with the best in that line In novel features it Is without rivalry, and some of the most interesting effects ever attempted will be a part of the produc- tion.
 Contracts have just been issued by MT. Charles Rohlf, who will be seen at O'Bri- ems this season. and MT.
