Henry Georges EuIOgists.

To the Editor oe the indianapolis Journal:
Sundays dispatches describe Henry Georges
funeral as the greatest popular demonstration OF
respect and esteem ever paid by this country to a
private citizen Thirty thousand citizens thronged
past the bier, and many more failed to gain
admission to the Grand Palace. An audience OF
six thousand listened to some Of the most emf
nent clergymen of New York. VINO Wed with each
other in comTaendation of the dead. In the press,
as well as in the pulpit, there has been no stint
of eulogy So far as this is tribute to the per-
sonal character of Mr.. George to his disinterest-
edness his devotion to what he believed to be
the cause of humanity, the ovation was in every
way commendable. Mr.. George died fighting ike
a hero for the better government of Greater New
York and he deserved the generous lament that
in all ages has followed the stricken hero to his
grave. If the death of Mr. George shall aid to-
day in the rescue of the greatest municipality in
the world from vicious boss rule. the whole coun-
try will have to remember him with graft
tude But admiration for courage and sincerity
is in danger of being confounded with the in
dorsenent of an economic philosophy that had
little to recommend it. Mr. George himself would
have asked nothing more than that his life work
should be judged by his writings. Now the vast
majority of discriminating readers Of his Prog
ss and Poverty are agreed that T whe the %SF
its line of argument and and conclusions dnsna
ge ot only their
dency to create false conception OF the social
They cannot be ato1ed for by purity Of purpose
and disinterested devotion. No matter how kind
" and generous our estimate OF man we can
not change the record of his life. What he has
Written he has written and it is not only proper
that he should be Judged thereby but needful.
We have already in this country entirely too
much disposition to earn reputation by the ad-
vocacy of poltcal theories that are often popular
in pr0portion to their falsity. large share of
the discomfort and distrust of rational reforms
comes from the teaching of theorists like Mr..
George. who exaggerate existing evils and then
promise impossible reforms There ought always

Deserved euogy that the difference between truth
and error can never be hridged over by good in

which he slew in his life But. like that ancient
and now somewhat dscredited hero, our estimate
must include his life whole. j. q. d.

RENOVATED COURT CHAMBER.
Judge Baker Finds Himself i'm Better
Quarters.

Quarters.
Judge Baker yesterday began the Novem-
Der term of the United States District
Court in a much changed courtroom. Since
Marshal KerchevaI assumed office he has
succeeded in having a general renovation
of the federal building. The marshal's and
district attorneys apartments have been re-
papered and partly refurnished, and the
judges chambers have been refrescoed and
recarpeted. The greatest change, however,
has been in the courtroom The walls were
all scraped and reprinted, a new carpet
put down and all the old furniture replaced
with modern fittings. Now the judges
bench is at the south end of the room. In
front of it is the clerks desk with jury
box on one side and prisoners dock on
the other. Ample and convenient accommo-
dations are provided for the attorn VS., court
stenographer and press. The arrangement
is much more convenient than the old, and
looks a great deal better. The trial of the
case of Arthur G. Thurston against ID. M.
Osborn &, Co. was begun yesterday.

Rarely are the drawing rooms of the liv-

but that is what Mrs. Henry G. Clark, of
451S Oakenwald avenue has done in honor
OF her dead sister, Emma Abbott, Amer
icas former queen of grand opera. In the
rooms Emma Abbott'S famous gowns are
made to serve as draperies, decorative COW

minder of the great singer, who bequeathed
her entire wardrobe to her only sister.
Many of Miss AbbOttS friends thought
her stage costumes were burned along with
her personal effects, but they are nearly all
preserved in the home of her sister The
apartment is divided by a large mantle
worth 81 900 which Emma Abbott wore in
the Rose of CASTLE as the Queen. 1t is
