Close upon the announcement of Ah.
Grady’s death, a number of prominent
Atlanta gentlemen set to work to organize
a Grady Monument Association. A com
mittee was appointed and went to work at
once. Subscriptions were called for. and
tlic spontanicty with which responses
were made to the call from till sections ol
the country has been unprecedented, and
is a touching tribute to the man whoso
death is deplored more than any other
that could have occurred in the South.
It is the desire of the committee to pro
ceed as soon as possible with the arrange
ments for the erection of the monument,
but will not. do anything on this line un
til every subscription that Will be made
has been received. There are hundreds
whose names will be added to this roll ol
honor who would not have them omitted.

What amounts to a panic exists among
the farmers of Davidson and ad joining
counties in middle Tennessee. A splen
didly organized band of horse thieves has
been operating there for months without
let or hindrance. It is estimated that
within the last two weeks 200 horses
have been stolen and run into
Kentucky fastnesses, where it is next to
impossible to follow them or the thieves.
Not one of these animals has been recov
ered. Gen. W. H. Jackson, of the famous
Belle Meade farm, Colonel John Overton
und the. Cockerills arc preparing a farm
ers’ association, which, with an abundance
of money to back it, will employ an ade
quate and competent force to annihilate
the robbers.

Tlic Russian influenza. the genuine
“LaGrippc,” has shown'itself and proba
ble head in Chicago, and already a large
number of eases have been reported. All
of these cases have shown unmistakable,
signs of Russian influenza, and some of
them have developed rinto very serious
ones. The “Grippe’’ is officially ignored
at the sanitary headquarters in New York
City. Unofficially, the representatives of
the health department say that probably
50.000 people in New York arc suffering
from more or less severe attacks of influ
enza. but they refuse to give it official
recognition. The disease seems to have
found a goodly number of victims among
the employes of the New York postoffice.
Saturday’s absentees in the general office
numbered sixty-five, and in many instan
ces persons on the sick .list were letter
assorters. Eighty-one members of the
Brooklyn police force are reported to be
suffering Avith the grippe*
The recent mortality in Paris, from tlic-
ravages of the influenza, is as follows:
Wednesday, 318; Thursday. 398; Friday,
344. The sudden drop from the figures
of Thursday to those of Friday is taken as
an evidence that the dreaded epidemic c

A prominent physician of Philadelphia
says; “There are fully 25 000 persons now
in this city being treated for influenza ir
some form or other. All classes of citi

some of the leading bu-iuess men of flit
city have been compelled to absent them
selves from their places of business on ac
count of tlic grippe.”

DIAGNOSIS OF THE JXFJ.UENZA.
Tlip Mediral News, of Philadelphia, say* *
Influenza comes suddenly; goes as quick',
least robust at any age and women seem
to be its first victims. It is here a ques
tion of condition not of sex. The large
numbers'simultaneously attacked attract*
general attention and thus those most im-
prcs>ionnble are seized, the onset being
facilitated by any depressing emotion, lik<-
fear or illness. There is no rigor, prop
erly to lie thus designated, but rather a
series of chills and a feeling of heat there
with, sometimes malaise of a general kind
is experienced, but. like the attack itself,
is of short duration, lasting but a few
horns. With the first access of nasal and
facial irritation, conic a chilliness, which
is followed by some feverishness with
more pronounced malaise, and in a gen
eral headache, weakness and soreness of
the members, and especially of the larger
joints. With the progress of I lie case in
some epidemic, there is considerable gen
eral weakness, even a marked depression
of the vital powers. The pulse becomes
-mall, and the mind gloomy and vest-
essness ensues. When a fatal termina
tion is to occur, as a rule, an extension
downward into the trachea und bronchi
hikes place.
WILL NOT BE NATURALIZED
FOREIGNERS IN RRA7.11, AMU, EMIGRATE
RATHER THAN RKCOMK CITIZENS.
A vast number of foreign residents ol
Brazil have protested against the natural
ization scheme of the provisional govern
ment. A number of French, Portugese,
German and Italian merchants residing
and doing business hi Brazil, have applied
to their respective governments for pro
tection. They say they do not wish t«.
interfere with Brazilian politics, and they
will not submit to the loss of their na
tional rights. Should the provisional
government dispute those rights, they
will leave the country after disposing of
their business, to the detriment of Brazil.
Benin De Pencdo, late imperial minister
of Brazil to Englaud, is preparing a pam
phlet in which lie will reveal the intrigues
of republicans prior to the overthrow of
the empire.
