glowing tribute to Henry Woodfin
Grady Mt Atlanta, Ga, Thursday af-
ternoon.
Rev. A. u. Conrad, pastor of the
Frst Congregationalist church Of Wor-
cester, Mass, delivered the memorial
address at the Grand opera house and
that building was packed to its great
est capacity to accommodate the crowd
that gathered to hear the Grafton.
After the address at the opera house
beautiful evergreen wreath was
placed on the monument to Mr.. Grady
by DIR. Conrad after appropriate exer-
ercise and remarks by number Of
prominent people.
The last address Mr.. Grady made
was at Boston, Mass, about ten days
before his death The address was one
of the most eloquent and one of the
most widely quoted that he ever de-
livered. 1t had the effect 20 draw
closer together the north and the
south than any address that had been
made previous to that time, and the
effort has seldom been equaled.
Mr.. Conrad called attention to the
fact that although the north has not
erected monument to the memory of
Henry Grady, his words have been in
delibly impressed upon them and his
memory is equally sacred there as

Chances For New Depot In Atlanta, Ga,

The chances are fifty to one that At

that the present carshed will be re-
paired, possibly rep,odeled, and that
the roads will continue to use it for
several years longer.
An effort is being made to put the
responsibility on the roads. Their
reply is: 1--WE are willing to build q
handsome, commodious union station
on the present site, but the city coun-
c,l has imposed conditions upon us
with which we cannot comply"
The roads say they cannot comply
with the city's conditions in respect to

AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS.
Our Democratic Ways as Compared
with the of Our Eng
lish Cousins.

The contrast between our W
people and those of Europe, even those
of England, is a striking illustration of
the elevating power of the assurance
that each American feels, not only of
his equality before the law, for the
Englishman certainly feels that, but
of his equality of power in the con-
troll of the government and themaking
and administration of its laws. Our
critics say that we are ill-mannered,
and that services 10 which we + en-
titled, and which we have the right 10
command, are often insolently rem
dered, and are hurled at us as if they
were favors grudgingly given. 1t is
TO be regretted that there is much
truth in this criticism. But whatever
nay be said about the manners pre-
vailing in n democracy. the most in
solent car conductor and hackman in
America is n much more pleasing per-
son than an obsequious retail trades
man of n European capital. We know.
at least, that the son of the insolent
American is likely TO be better than
the father, and that the son of the
European tradesman is likely to in
herit the business, the social posi-
ton, the ignorance and the genufiec-
tions of his anccstors.-IIenry LOOMS

the following statement was made:
'In further proof Of the nobility of
character of Admiral Dewey is his
recommendation TO the United States
