THE NOBLE YOUNG GEORGIAN
PASSES OVER THE RIVER,
———
The Last Sad Scenes Which
Close a Brilliant, Grand
and Noble Career.
r
/
HENRY W. GRADY.
At 2:40 o’clock Monday morning, at
his home in Atlanta. Ga., the spirit
of Henry Woodfin * Grady took its
flight from earth. A nobler man, one
controlled by more generous impulses,
with heart more golden, never lived!
But a few days since it seems that the
young boy first caught the attention of
the people. He grew in their esteem.
ITc was true to their interests. He was
faithful to his friends. He had an ear for
tales of woe. He had a heart for the
poor.
Such a man as Henry Grady is seldom
given to the world. In the hour of his
triumph lie is stricken down. Returning
a victor to the bosom of his people, he
sinks in death, while in his ears ring the
plaudits of an admiring, loving and de¬
voted people.
The scenes at the home during the last
hours were most pathetic. It was shortly
after eleven o’clock that Dr. Everett an¬
nounced that Mr. Grady was sinking rap¬
idly and that the end was near. Then it
was that all the menbers of the family
and relatives gathered about the sick bed.
hoping against hope, yet praying that the
cup might be taken from them. Friends
who had. at the doctor's suggestion, left
the house a few hours before, were hastily
summoned. Among those xVlio came
were: Captain E. P. Howell, Air. AV. A.
Glenn, Hemphill, Air. S. AL Inman, Mayor
Captain Judge Newman. Major ffmve. Kiser.
J. R. Wylie, Air. W. B.
Air. W. L. Peel, Mr. T. I). Meador, Air.
Donald Bain and others. It was Airs.
Grady’s wish that those who loved him be
permitted to take a last look upon his face
while life remained; and one after another,
(hose who had loved him with a love
that was exceeded only by that of the
nearest and dearest, stepped into the sick¬
room which xvas so soon to be the cham¬
ber of death. Gradually his condition
grew worse until deatli came.
Late Sunday evening, when it became
known that the end was only a question
of a few hours at the'most, the expres¬
sions of sorrow became universal among
the groups gathered in public places as
well as among those who had gone to the
special meetings for prayer of the various
churches. About the hotel corridors sor
row was ex pressed by all to whom the sick
man’s condition was known. Men who
had but heard his fame, and who were
utter strangers to liis wonderful personal¬
ity, mingled their regrets and admiration
with the anxious words and love of those
whose neighbor he had been, and whose
hand he had often grasped in friendship.
Sorrow and solicitude reigned in all the
city. As Air. Grady grew xvor.se inquiries
after his condition grew more frequent,
in a eliurch vestibule a minister was seen
to stand at the entrance, stopping each
that came to ask of them the most recent
news from the sick chamber. Neighbor
inquired of neighbor, and from early
morn till bed-time Sunday night anxious
tongues spoke anxious words' ol inquiry
for him whose life their hearts were praying
Tin re was a constant inquiry at the tel¬
ephone exchange all through the long,
lonely watches of the night. As the
replies grew more anxious, voices faltered
in calling the numbers, and when at last
the Dight operators were compelled to
give the sad intelligence that there was
no hope, sounds of weeping could he
heard over the wire
This time one year ago lie was buffed
in getting up a grand dinner for the little
ragged and tattered five hundred news¬
boys who sold Constitutions on the streets.
During the night the little fellows stood
on the street corners in the bleak night
wind, and with chattering teeth asked:
••How's Mr. Grady?"
Among those who felt tne deepest in¬
terest in his condition were the printers
in the composing rooms of the Constitu¬
tion. From the newest sab. up to the
gray and grizzled veterans who have been
with tin- paper since its first issue. One
man who set up th- first thing he ever
wrote for the paper, a letter from the
Virginia Alilitaiy Institute, away back in
1868. and who has watched his career
with surpassing admiration and interest,
exclaim**! when the last sad moment
came: "AYe have lost our best friend! ”
And in saying this, he but echoed the
sentiments of the army of employes who
loved this man so well, not alone for his
brilliant attainments and dazzling suc¬
cesses. hut for his generous heart and the
kindly interest he ever showed in their
behalf and welfare.
MR. GRADY'S LIFE.
Hon. Henry Woodfin Grady was born
in Athens. Ga., in 1851. During his boy¬
hood he enjoyed tiie best educational ad¬
vantages. but the four years of the civil
war seriously interrupted his studies, and
much of lii- time was spent in visiting
the various points where his father, Col.
Grady, w. - stationed with his regiment.
When peace came it found the lad father-
less. Colonel Grady baying fallen in battle
while leading 1 is men in a desperate
charge. Young Grady found that he had
no time to lose in (-quipping himself for
his career. After graduating at the State
university he went to the university
of Yin iuia, where he took a
post graduate course. He was. during
liis term at each of these institutions, the
youngest student in attendance. He
studied diligently what suited his intel¬
lect best, and pail little attention to
branches in which he felt no interest.
History, belles-letters, Anglo Saxon % at¬
tracted him. and his standing was very
high his in all of these, liis pen tnjusreired
glowing thoughts to the paper in graphic and
apidity, phases with almost lightning-like
and his ready, magnetic and
1 inging style of speaking soon won for
him the name of the “silver-tongued
orator." In the literal rv societies of tin*
two universities he carried <>tf th&Jp’ghest
honors as a speaker.
While still a student he wrote a letui
to the Atlanta (\jnstttut on. 11 was
printed, and the editor was so much struck
with the sparkle and dash of the com
municatiou that he signified his desire to
hear from the writer again. When the
first press excursion after the war was
emlemi a ride over the State road, the
editor telegraphed his boyish correspond
cut. who had then returned to hi. home
in Athens, that he wished to have him
represent the Count it ution on that trip, ami
write up the country and its resources
along the line of the road. Mr. Gi.dy
accepted the commission, and of the him
1 n ds of letters written on the occasion,
his, over the signature of “King Hans,'’
were the most popular and ntosl widely
copied. It is quite likely that 1 his pleas¬
ant experience caused this precocious bov
<d seventeen to turn bis thoughts seriously
to journalism. At all events, he was, a
year or two later, the editor and one of
the owners ol the Rome Doily Commercial,
a sprightly, newsy and enterprising jour¬
nal. Rome, however, was at that time to
■mall to support- a daily run on such a
scale, and in 1872 Mr. Grady purchased
in interest in the Atlanta Herald. Here
he found a field wide enough for him at
that stage of his experience.
The Herald was one of the most bril
limit newspapers ever printed in the
South. The young editor from Rome,
who had established himself in Atlanta to
compete with the older journalists who
were with conducting the Constitution, started
out audacious pluck, and proved
himself to be so fertile in resources and
expedients that liis esteemed contempo¬
rary recognized I lie fact that it had a
strong rival to fight. The Herald's Sun¬
day editions and trade issues were the
marvels of that day. After the sharpest
competition with the Constitution ever
known between any two papers in the
South it disappeared from the field. By
this time its editor’s abilities had made
him many friends abroad as well as at
home, and James Gordon Bennett at
once made him the Southern correspond¬
ent of the New York Jlerald. On this
great journal Air. Grady did some of the
best work of his life. In 1880 he purchased
a fourth interest in the Constifution,
Liking the position of managing editor,
which he held at the time of his deatli.
Of his work in this position. Colonel
Avery, in his History of Georgia, says:
“Mr. Grady's flashing And inimitable
sketches, editorials and articles gives an
1111 remitting sparkle to the paper, His
sider contemporaries on the journal will con¬
if no derogation to their high claims
to say that Air. Gradv is the genius of
this powerful paper. There is a vivid¬
ness, an audacity and a velvety splendor
about liis articles that are peculiar to him¬
self, that no other man has approximated.'’
Mr. Grady's interest in state politics
was such as to attract toward him the at¬
tention of the republic. liis editorials
in the Constitution were quoted in every
section; demands upon him for speeches
came from Texas to .Maine, and every
word he wrote, and every word he spoke,
but speech added the to his rounding fame, liis
at New England dinner, two
years ago, was a revelation. It aroused
such an interest, and a friendly interest,
too. in the north regarding the south.that
its delivery has become epochal. Spoken
with all proper boldness, and with sincer¬
ity welling up from the heart, it disarmed
criticism and invited friendship. Fol¬
lowing this cairn Mr. Grady's great Texas
speech, one year ago. in which lie spoke
of the while and colored people of the
south. While claiming Anglo Saxon su¬
periority as final and definite, he spoke
also for the humane and Christian treat
ment of the colored people. During the
same year he addressed the visiting
legislators of South Carolina and
Georgia at the Augusta exposition.
The Inst great speech which he
delivered—but a few days ago in Boston—
xvas the crowning event of his life. Such
an occasion, such an audience, such an
orator, seldom meet. The words spoken
there have not died away before the sad
intelligence follows that the gifted orator
is stricken unto death.
THE ILLNESS.
When he left Atlanta to go to Boston
he was threatened with pneumonia—he
went, in fact, under the protest of his
physician. “To stay now." he replied to
liis physician's “is objection of the question." on the eve of
starting, out Thursday
After the contracted night speech in
Boston he a new cold from ex¬
posure. The visit to Plymouth Rook was
unfortunate in this respect. Air. Grady
stood for some time in the raw atmos¬
phere with his head uncovered. Friday
night he was seized with a chill, and for
the first time seems to have realized that
his health was in a critical condition.
In New York he was treated by Dr.
Goldthwaite. "Before the party started
homeward, Air. Grady xvas assured that:
all danger of pneumonia was past, and
that it would be entirely safe to return
home at once.
