LOVING TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD.
Thirty Thousand People View the He

McGlynu's Eloquent Address.
"j -
New York. Oct. 30. Henry George,
author of "Progress and Poverty" and
candidate of the Thomas Jefferson De
mocracy for mayor of New York, died
at 4:50 o'clock yesterday morning in
the Union Square hotel of cerebral
apoplexy. In his great Cooper Union
speech accepting the nomination for
mayor, less than a' month ago, he said:
III make this race if; it costs my
life. This is a call to duty: anrl
good citizen I have no risht to di srp.
gard it on account of mere personal
consideration."
True to his word. Henrv fiporfp.
apostle of the rights of man, died as
ne wisnea to die m harness, fighting
for the cause-toward the close of the
greatest municipal political contest the
oria nas ever seen. The end was
w
V ;w f -
HENRY GEORGE,
peaceful, and he died without pain.
This man of mighty brain and un
daunted courage was physically frail,
and the strain of an exciting campaign
requiring speechmaking at points many
miles apart, night" after night, Avas
more than he could stand. He kept up
to the end, and only a few hours be
fore the dread messenger cried halt
Henry George had addre-sed enthusi
astic audiences in three -.of the towns
of the borough of Queens and a still
larger assemblage in an uptown hall
here.
Henry George; Jr., tir "son of the
dead leader, was prompt' v placed in
nomination as his father' successor,
and promptly accepted.
New York, Nov. 1. The body ' of
Henry George lay in stata yesterday
in the Grand Central Palace, and 30.
C00 people reverently passed the casket
and looked upon the face of the dead
philosopher. From" 9 o'clock in the
morning until 3' in the afternoon a
steady stream of men, women and chil
dren poured into the hall.
The immense throng was composed of
repiesentatives of all classes, of all
shades of life, and of all religious opin
ion. On every face was stamped the
unmistakable signs, cf sinc ere - regret,
while hundreds of faces were draw n
with sullei ing and pain. To thousand:-
of" those who passed by, Henry George
was personally kno wn, and it was' there
who lingered for a longer moment tc
gaze again on t he fac e of the man
whom to know was to love. Some of
them wept.
For the first half hour the throng
filing up the hall in twos passed at the
rate of 1,500 an hour, but shortly the
numbers swelled and grew until at one
time .80 passed each minute.. At this
rate, 5,000 an hour, the crowd passed
until the churches emptied their con
gregations into the vast concourse. For
the last two hours the crowd came at
the rate of 6,000 an hour. This is the
highest Tate obtainable under such cir
cumstances as these. Any greater ce
lerity vould have meant an undigni
fied, irreverential rush.
A little before 3 o'clock the line was
.stopped, and those who could not get
in were compelled to turn back and get
out from the police lines. A careful es
timate of the number who could not
get in places it at 30,000.
Before 3 o'clock .the people were per
mitted to occupy the seats in the hall.
The front seats of the main part of
the hall were reserved for the intimate
friends of the deceased, the pallbearers
and the ushers. All the- rest of the
main floor was open to the crowd, and
it took but a short time to fill the hall.
The reserved seats to the left were
occupie'd ' by the pallbearers and the
ushers. The pallbearers were: Tom 1
Johnson, August Levis, Andrew Mc
Lean, Thomas G. Shearman, Arthur
McEwen, Louis Fl Post, Jerome O'Neill
and Charles Frederick Adams.
The honorary pallbearers, som,e of
whom sat - on the platform, included
Mayor Yv'illiam L. Strong of New York,
Mayor Frederick W. Wurster of Brook
lyn, Charles W. ; Dayton, George Cary
Egglestbn, Horace White and John
Swinton.
Mayor Strong sat at the center cf
the platform, and he was surrounded
by a number of the more distinguished
persons present. Behind the mayor sat
Seth Low, with Colonel George E. War
ing by his side..
The exercises began at 3:25 with the
singing of the hymn "Lead, Kindly
Light," by the Plymouth church quar
tet. Rev. Dr. R. Heber Newton, who
was Mr. George's warrn personal friend
as' well as pastor, then read the burial
service. Dr. Newton qiid not wear his
priestly robes, and heVhad no t-eading
desk. The service was, therefore, in a
way entirely informal, there being also
no responses. It was, however, the
regular burial service of the Episcopal
church.
At the conclusion of the burial ser
vice F,ev. Dr. Lyrhan Abbott spoke
briefly upon the character and public'
services of Henry George. He was fol
lowed by Rabbi Gotthal, Father Mc
Glynn and John S. Crosby.-The latter
has. been one of the most active Henry
George campaigners, and was the only
layman who spoke. A" of the addresses
were eloquently, eulogistic of the dead

is 03 .
eery
leader, and were listened to witn rapt
attention.
Prior to the address of Rev. Edward
MeGlynn the vast assemblage had pre
served a church like quiet, but the ring
ing words of the priest evoked an out
burst of applause whic h could nnt be re
pressed. Dr. MeGlynn spoke with great
feeling, but his evident grief at the loss
of his- old friend did not prevent the
display., of some characteristic flights
of eloquence by him. In the course of
his address Dr. MeGlynn said:
'The place wheie we meet here this
afternoon is j not one dedicated to re
ligion or to the service of God, but has
generally been used for purposes of rec
reation, for amusement, or art. It
has today been made sacred, and we
meet here upon holy ground, and stand
ashamed in the presence of a message
directed to us from the throne of God.
We stand upon ground that is made
sacred by the remains of a man who
was raised from among us by our
Father in Heaven to spread themes
sages of truth and righteousness and
justice and peace to all. -
"He died in a struggle for the cause
of humanity, especially that of New
York, but it was altogether too small
for his broad mind and indomitable
energy. The struggle in which he has
always been engaged was for the rights
of man -and for justice to all. I be
lieve I am hot guilty of any profana
tion of the sacred scriptures when 1
say there was a man sent from God,
and his' name M as Henry George."
The eulogies uttered, the day gone,
the streets became filled with people,
who wished to see the funeral cortege
as it passed in solemn procession down
New York's greatest , streets, thence
across Brooklyn bridge, thence through
Brooklyn's great streets to the Brook
lyn city hall.
There the public gave over the body
to the family, and the casket was taken
to the modest home in Fort Hamilton,
from which they were borne to their
final resting place in Greenwood this
morning.
At the lowest estimate 125,000 people
saw the casket as it wended its way
to that point where the public was
compelled to stand aside in reverence
and sympathy, while the family claim
ed its own.
FATHER AND SON.
Life Sketches of Henry Georire mid
11 is lol I tieal Successor.
Henry George was born in Philadel
phia on Sept. 2, 1S39, the oldest son of
eight children. His father, R. S. H.
George, was a publisher of Episcopal
books. He went to a private school
for children, then to a public school,
then to a Protestant Episcopal acad
emy, and back to a high school, from
which he was graduated at the head
of his class when 13 years of age.
This ended his schooling. He worked
as office boy in "a crockery house, and
then took a sea voyage as cabin boy.
Then he learned the trade of. printer
in New York; and in 1S57 he again Went
to sea, this time before the mast, his
destination being California.
On reaching San Francisco he joined
a party of miners, but was unsuceesu
ful as a gold seeker arid' returned to,
the printer's case at San Francisco.
While working, at the case he w rote
anonymous letters on public questions,
which attracted attention. Dr. Gunn,
editor of the San Francisco Times, set
a watch at a letter box to learn who
the author of the' letters was. When he
caught .George he offered him a place
on the staff. The young man accepted
and worked his way up until he became
managing editor. His business as edi
tor took hi pi .to New Yoik on a trip,
and while there he was impressed whir
the luxury of the rich and the misery
of the poor ;f the .metropolis. His im
pression was the seed of "Progress and
Poverty;" lie wrote the book in 1S79.
and,as he could got no publisher for it,
set the type for the first edition with
his own hands,- aided by his son and
namesake, now nominated for mayor.
Later llint.n. of San Francisco, pub
lished an edition in California, and then
the Appletons brought one out in New
York. Jvegan Paul, of London, pub
lished a large edition, but' the -books
lay piled in the publisher's cellar until
the author, as correspondent from Ire
land cf the Irish World, was arrested
by order of the English government.
After that Kegan Paul had to run off
more books. Mr. George followed up
his success, with a book called "The
Irish Land. 'Question."
In 1884-85 Mr. George lectured on
economic subjects in Great Britain and
Ireland. Meantime "Progress and Pov
erty" was being .read by the labor lead
ers of America, and when the mayor
alty campaign c:f lS86 opened they were
ready to accept him and no other as
their candidate. Tlie campaign, was
one cf the most exciting in the Kistory
of New York. It led to -the practical
excommunication of Father MeGlynn,
the eloquent priest, who stumped .for
George in opposition to the commands
of Archbishop Corrigan. Father Me
Glynn was subsequently reinstated and
cent to a pastorate at NeWburg, N. Y.
In this election . George polled 68,000
votes, the Democratic candidate re
ceiving 90,000 and the Republican 60,030.
Whi:e publishing a paper in Sacra
mento, Cal., which was not a success,
Mr. George married an Australian lady.
Tliey have two sons and tvo daughters.
In addition to his famous work on
"Progress and Poverty" Mr. George
was the author of "Our Land and Land
Policy," published in 1S71; "The Irish
Land Question," 1SS1; -'Social Prob
lems," 1SS3; "Property in Land," a con
troversy with the Duke of Argyle, ISSi;
"The Condition of Labor," an open let
ter to Pope Leo XIII, 1891 and "A
Perplexed Philosopher" (Herbert Spen
cer), 1S32.
Henry George, Jr., who is named by
the Jeffersonian Democracy as the
mayoralty candidate in succession to
Ills father, was born in Sacramento,
Cal., in 18J2. He was educated in the
public schools of San Francisco. He
was taksn from school and put, to work
in a printing office, and helped to set
type for "Progress and Poverty." He
came east with his father in lSSO. In
18S8 he went to England as his father's
private S2cretary. - After his return he
was employed for some time on the edi
torial staff of Truth, a daily paper then
published in this city. Afterward he
was ass istant to the late James Red
path, when the latter was editor of
The North . American Review. When
The Standard was founded by his
father, as the recognized exponent of
the single tax movement he became
managing editor of the paper, holding
that position until 1S91. Then he went
to Washington as special correspond
ent for a number of western papers. In
3892 he spent six months in England as
correspondent of several prominent
American dailies.

HOT AIT OFFENSIVE DOCUMENT.
Our Government Will Let the Matter
Rest Until Con jrre.ss Meets, Glvlntr
Sastxtars Government Ample Time
.to Perfect Its Plans in Cuba.
Washington, Oct. 2S. The event of
yesterday at the state department was
the receipt of the long expected cable
gram from United States Minister
Woodford, at Madrid, transmitting the
answer cf the Spanish government to
his representations in the interest of
peace in Cuba. There were a little less
than a thousand words in the mes
sage, for Mr. Woodford, instead of ca
bling the whole of the Spanish answer
to his note, had contented himself with
reducing the matter to a brief outline.
The first copy was taken at edce to
the president, not being entrusted to a
messenger, but beir.g delivered by Chief
Clerk Michaels in person at the White
House. After due opportunity hi d been
allowed the president to read the mes
sage an application was made for a
statement of its contents or nature.
This was declined by Secretary Por
ter, and it was said that under no cir
"cumstances would the correspondence
be made public before consideration by
the cabinet.
From unofficial information that has
reached administration officials in ad
vance of this measure of Mr. Wood
ford's as to the nature of the Spanish
reply it is evident that in neither lan
guage nor subject matter is the com
munication likely to be taken as offen
sive by our government. It hfiay be, it
is true, regarded as insufficient to meet
the issue presented by Mr. Woodford
in his note, but officials of the' state
department say that, in view of what
has already been accomplished by the
new Spanish cabinet in reforming
abuses in Cuba, in removing Weyler
and in projecting what appears t o be a
liberal measure of autonomy, our gov
ernment will certainly rest, at least
until congress assembles, and afford
the new Spanish government reason
able time to carry out its plans.
' Vice Consul General Springer, at Ha
vana, has telegraphed the state depart
ment that the Spanish authorities have
pardoned Frank Agramcnte and Tomas
Julio Saenz, two American citizens
who have been imprisoned at Santiago
de Cuba ' since June, 1895. There are
now probably less than half a dozen
Americans held prisoners in Cuba, ex
clusive of the Competitor crew.

Against Union Pacific
TO EEOEGAMZATION COMMITTEE
ATKINSON DENOUNCES LYNCHERS
Georgia's Governor Would Arm Pris
oners to Prevent Their Mnrdfr.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 28. Mob law was
severely Condemned by Governor- At
kinson in his message to the "G'-orgia'
legislature, which convened here yes
terday. The message bristled with a
scorching and sensational attack upon
the lawless spirit that fosters the lynch
law in this state. i
He says, that to exterminate the prac
tice cf lynching, the 'crime must be
made odicus and shamefuL
He advocates stringent legislation
against rhebs, and. insists that the leg
islature pa.ss a law laying every county
wherein such a crime is committed to
a large indemnity to the relatives of
the mob's victim.
The northern lynchers are spoken of
by the. governor. On this subject he
says:
"There is ncr'excuse to say that the
northern people. Who have less to pro
voke it, lynch. Let us not take them
as a standard, but rather show a high
er type of civilization n our state and
erect here a standard to which they
may aspire." -
The governor says he is in favor of
the arming of the prisoners and allow
ing them to protect themselves from
mobs.
Ho Emerges From a Money Deal
With -Ills Xepliews Without Leav
ing Iiehlud Him Nearly All lie Ad
vanced i-'or the Scheme.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1. At 11 o'clock
this morning, down in a dingy freight
house on the Omaha flats, there was
a financial transaction that in two re
spects is a record breaker. It was the
largest auction sale of which history
makes mention, and Uncle Sam emerg
ed from a money deal with his nephews
without leaving behind him nearly all
he advanced for the scheme.
About J58.C00.CC0 will be paid by the
reorganization committee for the line
of the Union Pacific from Council
Blufi.3 to Ogden. There was but one
bid, and that was the offer of the re
organization committee.
The actual selling of the road was
made in this manner: Master in Chan
cery Cornish announced that the" road
was to be sold under the 'foreclosure
of the 'lien of the government of the
United States. He then read a decla
ration of the road, giving the mileage,
number of cars, locomotives, buildings
and other property in the possession
of the receivers. Mr. Cornish an
nounced that the minimum bid tobe
accepted was the maximum of the gov
ernment's claim. Attorney W7inslow S.
Pierce offered the amount of the re
organization committee, and Mr. Cor
nish waited to see if anybody cared to
make it $60,000,000, and as nobody did
so he declared the sale made to the re
organization committee, and turned
over the check of the committee de
posited with him to guarantee its
bid to'the representatives of the gov
ernment, and the matter was closed.
The payment of 'the full amount over
and above the guarantee check will be
made at some future date to be ar
ranged between the reorganization and
the government. It will, , however, be
within a short time.
Tomorrow will be held the second
sale under the foreclosure of the mort
gage securing the holders of the con
struction bonds. The reorganization
committee will of necessity by the pur
chaser. . None of the members of the
committee are disposed to talk of the
sale or the probable line of action that
will be pursued afterward.' It is likely
- that the ro.ad will for a time be left
in the hands of the receivers, unless it
has been decided who shall be the
managing officer of the, new company.
No serious thought has been given to
this matter as "yet, but it is certain
that if Mr. Clark desires to be president
of the road, as he was before the re
ceivership, he can .have the position.
If he will accept it is not likely that any
other name will lie considered.
