SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED.
Perry's East side Building Almost De-
stroyed Saturday Morning

Perry. o. T, Nov. 1.-(SpeciaL)-At
o'clock Saturday morning en- alarm o.
fire was turned in from the east side Of
the city and il was soon ascertained
that the East public school building was
on fire. There was no fire plug within
a quarter OF mile OF the building and
when the fire company appeared on the
scene they were poweriess. TIE build
ing was of brick. two stories high ana
stood remote from other buildings and
the fire was far advanced before any
one appeared on the scene. The build
ing is practically a total loss. Nothing
but the brick walls are left standing.
The building mad been leased 10 the
Congregational church organization and
was occupled by them as an academy.
A meeting had been held in the build
ing Friday night but al persons unite
in saying the fire originated either in
the hall o. in the upper story. The on
ly stove in the building was below ani
for this reason many think It must have
been set on d-e.
The building was insured FOR 81. 800.
which represents about one-half OF the
original cost.
The books OF the students and the fur

occasion to commit the remains OF Hen
ry George. one OF the latter day Chris
ton saints. to the grave. Dr.. Cramer
testified TO the personal religion OF Ir.
George. The power Of religion in social
problems was questioned by a man who
was talking with lir. George. With
flashing eye Mr.. George replied: IF
religion be nothing more than you think
It 70 be, our cause is lost: because, un-
less there is reality in religion and We
can appeal through it to humanity, We
shall never get back Gods land for
Gods poor children
After the Lords prayer had been said
by all. Rev. Dr.. aicGsynn also paid g
personal tribute TO me departed. He
said it seemed as though they were
standing by the triumphal car OF some
Roman hero rather than by the bier OF q
dead philosopher, and ended by declar-
ing that Henry George and the cause
he espoused were more alive than ever
today in the hearts Of Democracy.
IN about ten minutes after the con-
clusion Of the exercises opportunity was
offered to those in the house TO take a
last look al the body in The coffin. Jus.
after II o'clock the coffin was closed,
taken out into the rain and placed in
che hearse. Only members OF the fam
lilies and intimate friends accompanied
the remains to the cemetery. The ser
vices at the grave were very short, be-
ingy simply the burial service Of the
Episcopal church. Besides the family
OF Mr.. George there were present about
200 people. The grave. which Is situa-
ased on a bluff In a beautiful part Of
Greenwood. is quite close 10 the tomb
OF Henry Ward Beecher. Near at hand
is also the grave Of Mrs. Benjamin F.
