At o'clock the doors opened and i'm
mediately 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 IL in sleep. The
left arm rested lightly on the breast.
the other by his side. The remains
were clad in black broadcloth, a turn
down collar and black tie. For the first
half hour, the throng filing up the hall
in rows passed at the rate of five hun
dred an hour. but shortly the numbers
swelled and grew until at one time
eighty passed each minute. The crowd
passed until the churches emptied
their audiences into the vast concourse
which was winding its way down from
Forty-sixth street to the Palace, which
filled Forty-sixth street and Third ave-
nue. for many blocks. For the last two
hours the crowd came at the rate of 5000
an hour. This is the highest rate at
tainable under such circumstances, as
any greater celebrity would have meant
an undignified. irreverent rush.
August Lewis, prominent single
taxer, wept bitterly as he passed by and
tenderly laid a bunch of violets on the
glass. A woman who followed in the
line an hour later placed a modest
bunch of pinks beside the violets.
A little before 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 estimate of those who could
not get in is 10000. This number is equal
to the number Of those who passed the

HENRY GEORGE.
DIED OCTOBER 20, 1897.


At the back of the platform, on a
heavy crepe background, was a portrait
of Henry George. surrounded with
American flags. At the front of the
platform stood a bust of the dead re-
former, modelled by his son Richard
At the foot of the bronze pedestal on
which the bust rested were numerous
floral tributes, including cross, from
one arm Of which hung wreath of pink
and white roses from Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
L, Johnson; a wreath of immortelles
and pink orchids, from Joseph Pulitzer;
roses and crysanthemums in wreath.
from John c. Mulholland. On the card
was written: "This to his memory, for
hold him dear. He was honest, he
was brave, and he loved the people,"
Chief McCullagh was in personal
command Of the police arrangements.
There were 655 policemen on duty in the
neighborhood and in the palace. By the
gentlemanly conduct of every patrol
man it was possible to handle the great
crowd without any disagreeable cir
cumstances.
The crowd came down the avenue five
deep and passed through the hall in
twos: those who went to the left pro-
ceeded down a short flight of stairs
into Depew place.
In the guard Of honor were Arthur Nc

THE FUNERAL
Before 8 o'clock the people were per-
mitted to occupy the seats in the hall
The front six rows in the main part Of
the auditorium were reserved for the
family, the immediate friends Of the de-
ceased. the pallbearers and the ushers
All the rest Of the main floor was open
to the crowd, and 1t took but q short
time to fill the hall. The platform, of
course, was reserved, and the galleries
which hold comparatively small num-
ber, were likewise reserved for the hold
ers of tickets. 1t was said to have been
the intention at first not to have any
policemen in the hall at all, but large
number of uniformed policemen were
present.
Every seat was taken and in certain
portions a considerable number of per-
sons were permitted to stand. 1t Is esti
mated that nearly 5000 people were in
the hall during the services.
1t had been announced that the exer-
cises would begin at o'clock, but the
mourners and friends of the family did
not arrive until about twenty minutes
after that hour. The family and inti-
mate friends occupied the reserved seats
on the right hand facing the platform.
Young Henry George occupied the chair
next to the aisle in the front row, and his
mother was beside him. Mrs. George
was heavily yelled when she entered the
hall, but during the speaking she raised
her veil and followed the remarks Of
each speaker attentively. While show
ing plainly the strain that she has
passed through, Mrs. George maintained
The herald., 1897-11-01

her compOsure with strong fortitude
To the right of Mrs. George were seated
the other members of the family and
| relatives, including Richard George, a
son of the philosopher. and his daughter
Miss Ana George, John v. George, a
brother of the deceased, and other rel
| atives were present.
The reserved seats to the left were
occupied by the pallbearers and the ush-
ers. The pallbearers were: Tom L. John
son, August Lewis, Andrew Mclean.
Thomas G. Shearman, Arthur McEwen,
Louis E. Post, Jerome O'Neil and
Charles Frederick Adams.
The honorary pallbearers, some of
whom sat on the platform, included
Mayor Strong, Mayor Wurster of Brook
lyn, Willis J. Abbott. Albert A. johnson,
John p. Crawford, Charles w. Dayton,
George c. Eggleston, Horace White,
Edward McHugh, Bolton Hall, John
Miller, Charles O'Connor Hennessy,
John Swinton, Lawson Purdy, John II.
Gardner, A. Van Dusen, j. r. Waters,
Mr.. Leverson, Frank Stephens and Rob-
ert Schalkenbach.
The committee which had charge of
the funeral arrangements included John
Brisben Walker, Jack Clarence Harvey,
Hamlin Garland and others, who also
acted as pallbearers.
Mayor Strong sat at the center of the
platform and he was surrounded by a
number of the more distinguished per-
sons present. Behind the mayor sat
Seth Low, with Colonel George E. War;
ing by his side. Among others present
were: John Jerolman, president of the
board of aldermen; Mayor Patrick Glea-
son Of Long Island City; E. M. Grout
Nathan Strauss, Sheriff Tamsen and
Oscar Strauss.
The exercises began at 1925 o'clock with
the singing of the hymn, Lead, Kindly
Light" by the Plymouth church quar-
tet. Rev. DR.. Heber Newton, who was
Mr.. Georges warm personal friend as
well as pastor, read the burial service.
DIR. Newton did not wear his priestly
robes and he had no reading desk. The
service, therefore, in way, were infor-
mal there being, also, no responses. 1t
was, however. the regular burial serv-
ice of the Episcopal church. The only
music rendered in connection with 1t was
the chanting of the Lords Prayer.
At the conclusion of the burial service
DR.. Lyman Abbott spoke briefly upon
the character and public services of
Henry George.
DR.. Abbott spoke in his customary
manner, calm, critical and judicious, vet
with much earnestness. He avoided
anything like extreme eulogy especial
ly as regards Mr.. Georges political
teachings, but his praise for him as
man had no bounds.
He began with the statement that
those who agreed in part and disagreed
in part with Henry George, and even
those who disagreed almost entirely
with him, could unite in the expression
of their admiration for his character
and their love for him as a man.
what is 1t to follow Christi" asked
DR.. Abbott. rs it not to show the
spirit Of Christ himself? No one, I
think, wes animated more clearly by
His spirit or more faithfully followed
his statements than he whose sudden
death we are called here to mourn.
