Viewed by Thousands.
The Obscquies Arc Simple But Iln-
Dressive-Dr. McGlynn's EuloEy
Over His Dead Friend Evokes
Applause from Hearers.

New York, Nov. 1.-The body of
Henry George lay in state Sunday in
the Grand Central palace, and $4,000
people reverently passed the casket
and looked upon the face of the
dead philosopher. From nine o'clock
in the morning till three in the
afternoon a stream of men, women
and children poured into the hall. The
immense throng was composed of rep
resentatives of all classes of all shades
of life, and of all religious opinions. On
every face was stamped the unmistak-
able signs of sincere regret, while hun
dreds of faces were drawn with suffer
ing and pain.
Appearance Of the Remains.
At nine o'clock the doors opened, and
Immediately several hundred persons,
who were in waiting without, entered
the hall with bowed heads. They saw
at the head of the hall in an immense
bower of floral tributes, plain, heavy
black, cloth-covered casket resting on a
dais. Through the glass they saw the
remains of the great man reposing
calmly, his features unruffied, as if in
sleep. The left arm rested lightly on
the breast, the other by the side. The
remains were clad in black broadcloth,
turn-down collar and plain black tie
The casket itself was devoid of any
ornament save the, heavy silver handles
and the plate, which read:

"HENRY GEORGE.
"Died October %. 1897"
Profuse Floral Tributes.

At the back of the platform, on a
heavy Grape background, was portrait
of Henry George. surrounded with
American flags. At the front of the
platform stood bust of the fallen lead
er modelled by his son Richard. At the
foot of the pedestal upon which the
bronze rested were numerous floral
tributes, including cross, from one
arm of which hung wreath of VIII ite
and pink roses from Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
L. Johnson; a wreath of immortelles
and pink orchids, from Joseph Pulitzer;
roses and chrysanthemumsi in wreath,
from John C. Milholland.
For the first half hour the throng
fling up the hall in two's passed at the
rate of $500 an hour, but shortly the
numbers swelled and grew until at one
time so passed each minute. At this
rate, 5000 an hour, the crowd passed un-
til the churches emptied their audi
ences into the vast concourse which
was vending its way down from Forty
sixth street to the palace and which
filled Forty-sixth street and Third
avenue for many blocks. For the last
two hours the crowd came at the rate
of 5000 an hour. This is the highest
rate obtainable under such circum-
stances as these. Any greater celerity
would have meant an undignified, ir-
reverential rush.
A little before three 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 care
full estimate of the number who could
not get in is 10000. This number is
equal to the number of those who
passed the casket. Then another
throng came-those who wished to hear
the eminent clergymen praise Henry
George. During the last hour an or
Tchestra played Chopin's funeral march,
Handel's Largo" and "The Lost
Chord"

was Mr.. Georges warm personal
friend as well as pastor, read the burial
service. DR.. Newton did not wear his
pliestly robes, and he had no reading
desk. The service was therefore, in a
way, entirely informal, there being also
no responses. 1t was, however, the reg
ular burial service of the Episcopal
church. The only music rendered in
connection with it was the chanting Of
the Lords Prayer. ':..%5
The Speakers.
At the conclusion of the burial
service Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott
spoke briefly upon the character
and public services Of Henry George.
Rabbi Galtheil spoke next. After an.
other hymn by the choir, Rev. Or. Ed
ward McGlynn spoke. Prior to his adj
dress the vast assemblage had pre-
served churchlike quiet, but the ring
ing words Of DR.. McGlynn soon evoked
IN outburst of applause which could
not be repressed. DR.. McGlynn spoke
with great feeling, but his evident grief
at the loss of his old friend did not pre-
vent the display of some character
istic flights of eloquence by him. DIR.
McGlynn said in part:
afternoon IS not one dedicated to re-
| ligion. or to the service Of God, but has
generally been used for purposes of
recreation and amusement or of art. 1t
| has to-day been made sacred, and we
! meet here upon holy ground and stand
ashamed in the presence Of q message
directed to us from the throne of God.
1t Is no ordinary message. That mes
| senger of death has brought to our hearts
that which has immeasurably shocked us.
We stand upon ground that is made sa.
| cred by the remains of a man who was
raised from among us by our Father in
Heaven to spread the messages of truth
and righteousness and justice and peace
to all. He died in struggle for the cause
of humanity, and especially that Of New
York, but it was altogether too small for
his broad mind and indomita BILE energy
He was." said Father McGlynn,. simply
| a seer. prophet. forerunner sent by God,
and we can say in all reverence. and in
was man sent from God whose name
was John. He was sent to bear witness
of the light believe am not guilty OF
any proclamation Of the Sacred Scriptures
when I say there was a man sent from
God. and his name was Henry George"
DR.. McGlynn was here interrupted
by applause throughout the hall, and
seemed deeply affected. He alluded to
the touching eulogy bestowed upon
Henry George by DR.. Abbott as ex-
pressing what he thought of him as a
friend and brother.
John S. Crosby, who has been one of
the most active campaigners for Henry
George, was the last speaker, and the
only layman who spoke. His address
dealt with the duty of the present, in
accordance with the principles laid
down by Henry George, rather than
with mere eulogy of the dead teacher,
and evoked applause even more ener-
getic perhaps than the remarks of DR..
McGlynn. The last address was con-
|icluded shortly after five o'clock, and
| the meeting was dismissed.

THE PROCESSION.

One OF the Most Remarkable Ever
Seen I'm New York.
The procession which: accompanied
the remains to Brooklyn was in:many
respects the most remarkable ever wit
messed in New York. The catafalque
was magnificent creation of black
broadcloth and at the base was IL feet
wide. There were five steps leading to
the top. The horses, of jet black, were
covered with black silk netting and
were led by 1e grooms. The only en-
blem on the top of the casket was a
small white wreath. The organizations
that paid honor to Mr.. George by fol-
lowing the funeral car fell into line
from the side streets off Madison ave-
nue. and below Forty-second street.
There was some disappointment in the
small number of followers and it was
conservatively estimated that when the
party passed Thirty-fourth street on
Madison avenue there were less than
1850 men in line. There were marks of
respect all along the line. Barred heads
were the rule on both sides of the
street and many men ard women were
noticed to be crying. ~>e-s
It was eight o'clock when the head
OF the column rounded into Broadway
again at Fourteenth street. An ex-
Pectant crowd of George worshipers
hanked Broadway at Canal street. Here
it was also noticed that there was much
weeping. The procession from that
point to City Hall park was without in
cident save for a repetition of the
scenes OF grief which had been mani
