DR.. Grady Shot by an As.
Sassin.

Fradklinton, La. June 5.-An-
other shooting affair occurred Fri
day morning about ten miles north
Of this place. THIS time it was the
notorious Dr.. J. b. Grady, who
came to his death. The coroner.
DR.. w. L. Fisher, accompanied BY
several citizens OF the town, repaired
to the scene Of the homicide, which
was near . creek about . half . m lie
east OF Stallings bridge, on Bogue
Chitto river. The deceased and
Mr.. Ira Warren had started fishing.
having left the latter's house about
half an hour before the shooting.
The testimony OF Mr.. Warren goes
to show that - they came down to
the branch . man raised up in the
corner OF the fence, and, pointing q
double ioarreled shot gun at Grady,
exclaimed: 'Throw up your hands,
Grady; I am after you'll" Grady,
instead Of throwing up his hands,
made an effort to get his pistol,
when the man in the fence corner
fred the entire load OF No. l shot
taking effect in Grady's breast,
Grady turned and ran up the road,
shooting back as he ran. The as
sassin fired the other barrel into his
back, and then fred on him with
his pistol, one bullet penetrating
the heart, when he turned to the
left and fell dead about so feet from
the road. The assassin took Gradv's
pistol and left. 1t is said that he
went to Mr.. Neatly Warner, about
one mile above the scene Of the
homicide, and told Mr.. Warner
that he had killed DR.. Grady, and
showed Mr.. Warner the pistol He
also told Mr.. Warner that his name
was Bounds, ana that he was . de-
tective from Hattiesburg.
The deceased, DR.. j. b. Grady,
came to this parish about five years
ago, claiming to be . dentist, and
exhibited some skill in the extrac-
ton Of teeth. After remaining here
for . year or more lie married Miss
Noema Magee, daughter Of Ben
Magee, Of this Parish. The career
OF Grady from the first was WILD
and reckless, and many crimes were
charged to him, particularly the
robbing OF the courthouse at this
place in 1896. Finally he grew
holder, and several robberies were
committed by him. The robbery Of
Mr. dremslev, in Pikel county.
Miss, was the last one. For this
he was tried in Magnolia, Miss,
convicted and sentenced to 10 years
in the Mississippi penitentiary. |
from which he made bis escape
in February Of this year. Since
that time be has been in hiding near
his father-in-law's place. 10 the
northeastern portion Of this parish. |
He was terror to many Of the citi-
xens, - be has, according to re-
ports. threatened the lives OF several |
people, among others that Of Col. |
Hopgood, who betrayed him at the
lime Of the GremsleY robbery. His

About the Philippines.

| DR.. Frank 8. Bourns, of Atlantis
Ga, is one Of the few men in thi
Ipart of the country who have n
accurate knowledge Of the Philip
pine Islands and their inhabitants
This information, says the Wash
ington Post, came from persona
observations, the result of two trip
to the islands, whittier he went q
. member of scientific expeditions
DR.. Bourns, who is q professor il
one of the leading medical col
leges of the South, went North q
the request of Gen. Merritt, and
since his arrival in Washington h
has been giving the Quartermaste1
and Commissary Departments tht
benefit of his special information
Of that far-away archipelago, ovel
which the United States flag will
shortly wave. DR.. Bourns is . ma
tive of Michigan, and a graduate
Of Ann Arbor. He is . gentleman
of great culture, and a most inter
esting talker. In an interview, he
said: 81 lived IN the Philippines
between three and four years, 60
ing there first in 1887, with a
party from the University Of
Michigan, and again in 1890 with
an expedition from the Academy
Of Sciences Of Minneapolis, each
time being engaged in geological
work. The nature of this work
required us to visit the provinces,
and we spent from one to three
months on each of the important
islands. Naturally, we become
familiar not only with the geo.
graphy of the group, but with the
people, their manners, customs and
language. Spanish is spoken by
many of the people in the larger
places, but all use the native speech
among themselves. Many Of the
native words, however, have been
incorporated into the Spanish. pro-
ducing q jargon, which is especial
y the case among the Chinese mer-
chants. Many times l have acted
IS interpreter between the Chinese
and recently arrived Spanlards,
who were not able to recognize
their own tongue, so much had it
been corrupted by the Mongolians,
The islands are wonderfully rich
and productive, and the people,
though in revolt against Spanish
oppression, are naturally we'll dis
posed. In intelligence they rank
far above the African races and
are capable of high civilization,
if properly encouraged. They are,
though by nature, rather lndolent,
and it is that trait which has caused
them to submit SO long to the mis-
rule of Spain" edo you think
they will support the American
in our invasion of the
country" eyes, | am quite con-
fdent of that, but I do not mean
that our army can depend to any
extent on their assistance in actual
military operations. In the. reports
from there we gee that the Spanish
officials are trying hard to gain the
of the natives in the pres
ent emergency, but centuries of
cruel treatment by their rulers have
created in the native breast an in
tense hatred for everything Spanish.
Once the American officials gain
the confidence of the population
and assure them of fair play and a
just government, there is no doubt
that 90 per cent of the people will
be found on our side To gain
confidence will be one of the first
and most important tasks that Gen.
Merritt will have before him"

And now a youth. who dallies long
Beside her chair, with gesture neat,
Picks up the comb from near her feet.
All well! the wheel of time has whirled,
And Bertha's world Is not my world!
But that young man who bends the knee
And lifts the bauble from the floor

That have seen that youth before:
