FATAL GRIP AT AUGUSTA.
The Dentil ot Four Well-Known Per
sons Attributed to It.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 10.—Judge Willinm
Watts Montgomery, Archibald Eve, Mrs.
Thomas W. Walker and William Harwell
constitute Augusta's death list for the past
twenty-four hours, resulting from grippe
or fatal complications, which grew out ot
this disease. Up to this time the belief
that the grippe seldom kills has caused
the community to regard with compara
tive complacency the numerous cases of
this malady in Augusta, but the fact tiiat
it frequently paves the way to fatal com
plications is making it a more serious
matter. Judge Montgomery's fatal ill
ness began with the grippe and three other
deaths followed to-day from illness begin
ning in the same way.
Judge Montgomery's funeral this even
ing was largely attended. The chapel,
which is now used by the congregation
of the Church of the Good Shepherd since
the burning of their churffh, was unable
to contain the crowd. Rector Davidson
was assisted by Dr. Chauncey Williams
and Dr. Pinkerton in the funeral services
and the floral tributes were numerous and
handsome. Judge Montgomery as law
yer, solicitor general and Judge of the eu
preme court won prominence in the ieg;u
profession, and his circumspect life, high
character and fine attainments made him
prominent in the state and national coun
cils of the Episcopal church. The senior
wardens from the vestry of the Church ot
the Good Shepherd acted as honorary
pall-bearers, together with representative
members of the bar.
Archibald Eve, like Judge Montgomery,
had been hovering between life and death
for a week past He died at 2 o’clock to
day of acute gastritis, a complication of
the grippe. He was a eon of Dr. Sterling
C. Eve, a nephew of Judge W. F. Eve,
and a grandson of the late Dr. Joseph A.
Eve, one of the leading physicians of Geor
gia for the past half century. Archibald
Eve was a member of the drug Arm of
Fargo & Eve, and had Just passed his
twenty-fifth anniversary.
-Mrs. Thomas W. Walker was the wife
of the pastor of the Kallock Street Baptist
church. She had been an invalid for two
years, but her death resulted from a re
cent attack of the grippe. She was 40
years old.
William Harwell was a popular young
man residing in the milling district, and
employed In the Sibley cotton mill. He
was 28 years old.
BIG BANK FOR CHICAGO.
Hm Capital LUkIOJKW nml Article* or
Incorporation Secured.
Chicago, 111., Jan. 10.—Articles of Incor
poration were secured yesterday at the
state auditor’s office at Springfield for
what is designed to be the largest banking
.nstitution west of New York city. The
concern is styled the General Trust Com
pany of Illinois, and its capital is named
at $5,000,000. The incorporation fee of $5,-
275 is the largest ever paid into the state
treasury under the new incorporation law.
The incorporators named are employes
in the office of the law firm of Goodrich,
Vincent and Bradley.
Ex-Judge William A. Vincent declined
last evening to shed any light on the big
corporation beyohd stating that lt was a
bona fide enterprise, and that it was in
tended to be a mammoth affair.
“I am sorry that the news of this has
got out,” said Mr. Vincent, “as the gen
tlemen who are back of the enterprise are
not ready to make their plans public. How
ever, I can state that the institution is
genuine. The mere fact of such a large
capitalization fee being paid in cash is ev
idence of the soundness of the company.
The articles of incorporation state that it
is designed to carry on a general banking
business under the laws of the state of
Illinois.”

Sermon on the Subject.
Augusta. Ga., Jan. 10.—Dr. Lansing Bur
rows rilled the First Baptist church tet
night with the published announcement
that his theme would be Dr. Jekyl and Mr.
Hyde. This was the subject of a lecture
delivered by Dr. Nourse before the lyceum
last Monday night, lt made a deep im
pression and has been a leading topic of
discussion ever since. The announcement
that Dr. Burrows would follow the lecture
with a sermon on the same subject made
his church the center of attraction to
night.
Dr. Nourse treated the story In his lec
ture as a parable and declared there was
a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde struggling for
supremacy in every person—that during
life both of these characters are in the
man, but when he comes to die it is either
Dr. Jekyl or Mr. Hyde—whichever has
dominated in the man’s life—that then pos
sesses iiis soul and meets the final Judg
ment. Dr. Burrows took up the subject to
night where the lecturer left off, and de
clared It was by taking .Christ into a
man’s life that the Mr Hyde could be
driven out and Dr. Jekyl always win the
victory.

WESTERN UNION’S RIVAL A BOY.
He Is a Company and He Itns Fright
ened the Monopoly.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
“That's the Franken Messenger and Tel
egraph Company.” said the police repor
ter. just after he had nodded to a messen
ger boy, in a blue and brass uniform, who
hurried past In the opposite direction.
“The what?”
'The Frankcn Messenger and Telegraph
Company—in direct competlt.on with the
Western Union and Beunett-Mackay ca
ble.”
“What company is that? I never heat'd
ot it.”
'•Wei), it's a funny snap. I’ll tell you
about it.” The police reporter chuckled
as though the reminiscences was a pleas
ant one.
“You see,” said he, "the Western Union
got on to the fact that the messenger bus
iness around Central police station and
the city hall was a pretty good snap, so
they sends John down there to stay all the
time. He never had to report at the main
office. He'd been working for the Western
Union for four or five years, and they
knew he was honest. He just carried mes
sages all day, made out his own slips, col
lected the coin an’ took It down to the
office in a bunch every night. Well, he
was working for sls a month an’ making
about S4O a month for the Western Un
ion Well, the gang around the police sta
tion got onto th’ situation. One day Billy
Taylor asked John why he didn’t buy a
drink once ip a while with all th’ coin he
was handlin’, an' he said he couldn't, be
cause he never had any money ot his own.
Of course, he didn’t. He has to support
his folks, an' they don’t live very high at
that. An’ he’s a nice kind of a kid—noth
n’ like the most o’ these fresh little devils
in the messenger office.
“Well, you see, the gang gits kind o
stuck on John, an’ we fixes up a scheme to
help him out. I goes to Caldwell an’
Deitsch an’ all the city officials an' gives
'em a talk. I got Caldwell to agree to let
John carry messages in the building an’ I
got Deitsch to let him carry all the mes
sages from central station. Official mes
senger, you know—Very strong.
“When I had everything fixed all right 1
told John and he goes down to Western
Union and quits.
“All right; nobody begged him to say.
They chucked in a blow card for John and
thought that was the end of it. The next
(lay they sent another boy down to police
station. Nobody bothered him.
“He set around there all day with noth
in’ to do but smoke cigarettes. That night
he went down to the office an' told ’em
that John was up there carryin' messages
just the same as usual. Well! The trou
ble begins. The next day one o’ the West
ern Union clerks comes up to th' build
in’ an’ tells John that he better get out
and quit Interferin’ with regular mes
sengers. I happened to be there. I asked
the Western Union guy what was the
matter with John.
“ ‘He’s got to quit interferin’ with our
messengers,’ says he.
“ 'Has anybody seen him Interferin’
with any messengers?’ says I.
“ ‘Well, he's carryin' all lh’ messages up
here. He's gettin’ th’ company’s busi
ness.’
“ ‘Why, of course,’ says I. ‘Why
shouldn’t he, me boy? He's the official
messenger.'
" ‘Well, he’s got no right to wear that
uniform.'
" ‘Who does the uniform belong to?
didnt’ he buy it an’ pay for it? Why
don’t you have him arrested for imper
sonating a messenger boy’?'
“Then th’ gang got on an’ begun call
in’ th’ clerk ’Gordon Bennett,’ an’ he
went away hotter than pine tar.
“Well, that was just the beginning of it.
The next day the Western Union man
ager was up to see Caldwell bright and
early. Well, you can imagine what Cald
well give him. 'I don’t see how I can in
terfere in the matter,’ says he. iSome of
the gentlemen who patronize the boy re
quested me to allow him to carry mes
sages’ in the building. If they choose to
employ him I cannot prevent It.’
“Well, then things began to get des
perate. Some fellow came up and warned
the officials in the city building that they
were liable to have their diamonds stolen
if they hired messenger boys that
weren’t backed up by a responsible com
pany. Weil, th’ gang fixed that.
“We organized the Franken Messenger
an’ Telegraph Company—in Direct Com
petition with the Western Union and Ben
nett-Mackay Cable. That's what It says
on th’ bill heads. We took up a collection
an’ had a swell lot of printin’ done—it
cost $1.66. Then the Franxen Messenger
company had checks an’ bill heads a
blamed sight sweller than the Western
Union. We organized all right, too. I'm
the president, vice president and general
manager and board of directors. Gril
lo’s th’ secretary—he makes out th’ blits.
John’s th' rolling stock.
“But th’ Western Union didn't quit.
Th’ first time John went downtown with
a message a lot of Western Union clerks
an’ managers grabbed him an’ began tell
in’ him what the Western Union would
do with him. They said that th’ Western
Union was a powerful corporation, and
wouldn’t stand any monkey business from
a lousy little messenger boy. John got
scared and begun to cry; but he was
game. ‘I don’t know nuthin’ about it,’
says he. ‘I ain't doin’ nuthin’ to de West
ern Union. I’m jist carryin’ messages
fur de gang up at police station, an' I
ain’t a gona quit as long as dey hires me.'
“Well, the next thing they do is to go
up to John's father. He's a baker, an' he's
been out o’ work fur six months. He
ain't a common baker, you know; one o'
these kind o’ confectioners that makes
brides with veils on ’em; an’ closed hands,
to go on the top o’ wedding cakes. Well,
he comes down to police station an’ hunts
me up. He was pullin’ his whiskers an’
looked worried. He said he thought John
better quit an' go back to the Western
Union because th’e Western Union man
ager had been up to his house an’ said if
John didn’t quit they’d get him into troub
le, an’ If he did quit they’d give him a
job as check boy In th’ operatin’ room, an’
hire him fur an operator as soon aa he
was a man.
" ’Nup!’ says I. ’Can’t stand fur that.
That's the old bull ’con.'
" ‘Veil, I don’t know vat It ise ve can do
about lt, cen.’ says he.
“ ’Well, John's doin’ pretty well now.
ain’t he?’ says I. ,
" ‘Himmil, yah! Gewlss, yah!’ says he.
’Chontiie made $42 letzt month, an’ no one
else In th’ house workln’, and him mein
only sohn.’ An’ then th’ poor old slob be
gan yyln'.
” Well, look here, old boy,’ says I, ’you
go back an’ look fur a job makin’ wcddln’
cakes. You take my advice an’ quit mon
keyin’ with th’ affairs of the Franken
Messenger and Telegraph Company.’
"Now, there’s the story," said the police
reporter. “That’a all there Is In It—uli but
one thing."
’’What’s that?"
"Well. John told me Saturday night that
he had a girl an’ waa savin’ up so he oould
marry her. Let's go in an' git a drink!”

Nearly every physician, every scientist
ami every sufferer has been asking this
great question: What is the Grip? Some
have asserted that it is a dangerous ini
erobe which comes into the system, breeds
several millions every second, and soon
overruns the body with disease. Others
have said that we are passing through a
region of star-dust, und that the minute
particles are drawn into the body with
every breath. Whatever it may be, it is
certain that it is something within the
body which is fighting with tlie body to
undermine the life.
" hat would common sense dictate in
such an emergency ? Counteract the ene
my. Drive it from the system. Do not
tritle with it. Act promptly and wisely nt
the tirst approach of the symptoms which
you can readily detect. Take something
which can counteract their deadly influ
ence. Spirits of some kind are the best
tilings to take, ami whiskey is preferable
to any other kind of spirits. Hut it should
be borne very carefully in mind that only
pure whiskey wiil have the effect, and it
should also be remembered that Unity's
pure malt whiskey stands at the head of
all preparations and Is the only medicinal
whiskey upon the market. There are
many unscrupulous dealers who will
assure you that any whiskey will answer
the purpose, but they are Wrong and are
trying to deceive you.

LUCKY LI'TI'LE DOGS.
Wear Warm Coats of Silk and Wool
Trimmed With Far.
From the St. James' Gazette.
Every afternoon in Bond street, curled,
plaited and berlbboned poodles are to be
seen accompanying their mistresses; while
reposing on many u muff is a micro
scopic terrier much beloved by Its owner.
A lady friend Informs me that a few
faithful hearts still adore tho old-fashion
ed pug, and the larger the better; but,
seeing the accommodation of a London
house and what sufferings are thereby im
posed on the poor beasts it is sad to
think what a number of large, long-haired
pets are being kept in town quarters by
their adoring mistresaes.
Still, It ia with smaller dogs that London
women are most concerned, and of late
they have directed not a little attention to
suitable costumes for their quadrupeds in
cold weather, devising for them elaborate
silk and woollen coats trimmed with fur,
boasting of almost as many pockets as
feminine gowns and cloaks.
