New York. Nov. "A mourning city.
grief-stricken people, yesterday
showed honor to the man who had
fallen in the battle for what he be-
lieved to be the right. Henry George.
apostle Of the single tax, leader of the
new Jeffersonian Democracy, stricken
On the eve of election, was honored as
no private citizen of America was
ever honored before.
Public griefs have been many in tile
great metropolis of the Western hem
isphere; many have been sincerely
nlourned, but none, save he who went
to eternal rest after having served his
people as leader of soldiers and as
chief executive of the land, had laid at
his bier such evidences of public grief,
widespread sorrow and sincere grief
as was laid at the bier of Henry
George. No one would permit a re-
hinder that he had been a candidate
for public office and had been carrying
on a bitter warfare on those he be-
lleved were enemies of the public
veal; no one recalled the strong words
OF denunciation that fell from his lips
while on the political rostrum; he was
remembered only as a man who so
loved the people that he gave his life
for them. From early in the day I'M
til far in the night the outward man
ifestations Of grief lasted; thousands
gazed upon the familiar, beloved feat
ures, cold in death, yet smiling serene
ly in sleep; other thousands heard STIR
ring oratiOEs, magnificent eulogies
upon the martyred dead.> In every
temple Of God, wherever men gathered
to worship or hear lectures and phil
osophy taught,
Garlands of Prnisc
Were bestowed upon the memory Of
the revered dead. In the vast audi
torium where the dead rested, inspired
men, teachers of all faiths, Jews, Cath
olics and Episcopalians, with hearts
wrung with pain, spoke words which
G. rfeSsedly fell far 81 CRIT of the great
waves of emotion that sought to find
utterance. Not dissenting voice was
heard to the declaration that Henry
George was lover of the people, who
he believed were being oppressed, and
that he gave his life that humanity
might live.
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 Yorl<'s greatest streets, thence
across Brooklyn bridge and through
Broeklyn's streets to the Brooklyn
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 it will be borne
to its final resting place in Green
wood.
At the lowest estimate 125,COO people
saw the clsiet as it wended it's way
to that point where the public was
compelled to stand aside in reverence
and sympathy while the family
claimed it's own.

Aurora, Ill.,, Nov. 2. - A remarkable
double tragedy has taken place here.
Peter Braun and his brother Harry
conducted a small grocery on the out
skirts of Aurora. The store is in the
same yard as their dwelling. Saturday
night the Braun brothers closed their
store and started for TIE house. AS
they passed a little bust. two masked
men confronted them with drawn re-
,volvers. Peter, the older brother, at
tackled one rohbar, and WAS greeted by
four pistol shots. Every bullet hit and
the grocer fell dead. Harry Braun
fled from the robbers. The man who
did the shooting saw figure in the
darkness and gave it shot which pen
etrated the brain of the human target.
The second dead man proved to be his
fellow highwayman. The murderer
went to the home of Jacob Rink, a
half-mile distant, where he stole a
horse and wagon. The rig was found
at Batavia, seven miles away, with
two revOlvers on the seat. 'o.

An English admiral declares that if
the gun-ship cannot be modified to
meet and balance the threat of the
torpedo vessel, then the torpedo vessel
will herself become the battleship of
the future, and the gun-ship will fall
into the auxiliary or subordinate place.
He argues that there would be less risk
in men and money in sending fotilla
of swift but small vessels against
battleship than to meet that formidable
engine of war with a ship of equal size.
The future of naval warfare may
abound in such developments.
