ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 24.—The balletin

a few mingtes after the announcement
was made that life had taken its flight.
Then came a flood of messages from all
over the Union. They carry their own
comment. Among those received were
the following.

oved your husband for what he was, for all

All Atlanta Mourns.
All Atlanta mourns today. The death
of Henry Grady was a terrible shock to
the people here at his home, the people
who knew him and who loved him best.
Nobody would believe that Henry W,
Grady conld die. When the first
announcement was made of his serious
illness, his friends seemed to treat the
matter lightly. As one of them put it
today, *‘I could never associate Henry
W. Grady with death” and so it seemed
to be with everybody.
Frogress of the Fatal Malady.
On Thursday Mr. Grady rallied, was
bright and talked to his friends. Fri-
day he grew worse and suffered from a
violent bronchial cough; then pleuro-
pneumonia developed, nd this, with a
complication of unusual nervous pros-
tration, proved such a determined at-
tack upon his system that even his great
vitality could not resist it.
Arrangements for the funeral are not
completed, but it will be held in At-
lanta on Wednesday at 2 p. m. and the
body interred at Athens
Public memorial services will be held
Wednesday or Thursday in nearly all
the cities of Georgia.
Mr. Grady's Career.
Henry Wooden Grady was born In Athens,
Ga., May 17, 15851. He was educated at the
University of Georgia and at the University
of Virginia. His father was a wealthy busi-
ness man of Athens, and, although a Union
man aud a supporter of Bell and Everett,
went with his state when she seceded. He
was killed while fighting before Petersburg.
At the age of 2 young Henry was editor of
The Daily Commercial of Rome, Ga. He left
it to go on The Atlanta Herald, which he
made one of the liveliest papers ever printed
ig the south. It died in 1878, For four years
Mr. Grady did work for northern journals,
and in 1550 bought a fourth interest in The
Atlanta Constitution. Since that time un-
broken success followed him. As a writer his
versatility was extraordinary. His intuitions
were only equaled by ths acuteness of his
perceptive faculties. His famous speech on
“The New South” at the New England dinner
Sates years ago made him a national reputa.
About ten days ago Mr. Grady came north
as a special guest of the Boston Merchants’
association, in company with thirteen other
well known southerners. He was suffering
with a slight cold before he left Atlanta, and
Mrs. Grady was fearful that he would became
seriously {ll during his stay in the north.
After the reception at the Vendome hotel Mr,
Grady delivered his speech on the race prob.
lem. He overexerted himself, and when he
retired after midnight was so hoarse he conld
barely articulate, When he reached his home
at Atlanta his sickness developed into pnen-
monia and he grew worse till the hour of his
death, 3:40 a. m., Dec. 20.
Mr. Depew's Tribute.
New York, Dec. 24.—At the New
England dinner last night in the course
of his respone to a toast Mr. Depew re.
ferred to the death of Mr, Grady as fol-
lows; “We forget all difference of
opinion and remember only his chivalry,
triotisin and genius, He was

great wor mpressing its marve
wth and national aspirations upon
willing ears of the north. His death
at this time—at the critigal period of
the removal forever of all misunder-
ings and differences between all sections
of the republic—is a national calamity,”’
