LUTHER LITTLE's VIEW.
Former ST. Paul Man Sizes Up the
Situation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The tragedy
of the first mayoralty fight in this city,
the sudden death of Henry George, has
put solemnity into the fight that
makes it more earnest and impressive
than ever Old soldiers say it is like
the death of a general in the thick of
the battle. The survivors set their
faces the firmer. For an hour or two
yesterday the already complex situa-
ton was simply chaotic. Then an in
spiration came to the followers of
George, and Henry George Jr., the son
of the dead man, was placed in the sad
die from which his father had fallen.
Today the expression is, the son will
inherit all his fathers strength. No
such conditions have ever been seen.
The son drops the Junior" and be-
comes Henry George. The ballots al
ready printed need not be changed, and
the young man seems to stand in the
hearts of his fathers followers, as he
does on the ballot, the same Henry
George.
1t is marvellous The flood tides Of
sympathy for the young man sweep
through all the meetings and predic-
tons are made that the ticket he heaAs
will draw votes by the thousands be-
cause of it. George had drawn from
Tammany heavily, and before the body
Of the single tax advocate had been de-
shouting that his death meant Tam
manys victory. But Georges battle
cry had been raised chiefly against the
bossism Of Croker, and in twenty-four
hours he is proclaimed martyr to the
anti-Tammany cause. With that feel
ing dominant, it seems hard to under
stand how Tammany could win many
of Georges supporters, even If they
were to scatter. If this sentiment does
not hold, Van Wyck's chances will be
considerably helped.
The Low forces were claiming some
of the George votes yesterday, but with
the son in the saddle their claims be-
gan to vanish.
Henry Georges body will lie in state
Sunday, and there will be a public fun
eral Monday. No campaign meeting
Of the year, it Is predicted, will count
for so much. George followers are
fighting for principles and have strong
sentimental feelings. Crowds of them
have declared they would vote for his
name if it were on the ballot, while
he were dead, and no substitute had
been found.
So the fight goes on with all it's un-
certainties, and with less changes in
the real strength of the four opposing
forces than yesterday morning seemed
possible.

TAX LEAGUE IN TEARS.
Resolutions Passed by the Chicago
Followers of Georee


Followers of George.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Members of the
Chicago branch of the Single Tax
league were in tears last night. 1t was
the regular monthly meeting of the
club, but instead of attending to the
regular routine of business the even
ing was devoted to the apotheossation
of the name of Henry George. The
rooms in the Schiller building were
filled with men and women. A picture
Of the dead leader rested on the piano
on the platform. 1t was draped in
black and festooned with lilies. Many
of the speakers had known the great
single tax champion personally, and
when speaking of his work and his per-
sonal attributes they were choked with
emotion. 1t was an evening of genuine
sorrow.
A telegram was sent to the bereaved
family and John u. White, who is now
in New York, was wired to remain
there and represent the club at the
funeral. Resolutions were adopted,
which in part are as follows:
That. while our hearts are filled with sad
ness and grief for the departure Of the great
and kindly soul whom God has called away,
we declare our mistaken faith that the cause
for which he gave the unwearied labors Of
his mature life, and for which he died. will
triumph. and that the apostolate of Democ-
racy will not cease.
THAT the world has lost the inspiration Of
a noble personality, but that he had so far
finished his work and completed his labors
that there are not wanting now in any viii
lage of the United States his able, intelli-
gent and earnest disciples, teachers of justice
and social righteousness. And be it further
Resolved That, In common with the friends
of Henry George in every cline and country
today mourning with his bereaved
family, and that to them we extend the most
affectionate sympathy and regard
a committee aDnOinted
make arrangements for a Henry George
memorial day.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Two Deaths the Result of an At
tempted Robbery.

AURORA, ILL.,, Oct. 3O-A remarkable
double tragedy has taken place here.
Peter Braun and his brother Harry
conduct small grocery store on the
outskirts of Aurora. The store is in
the same yard as their dwelling. Be
tween the two buildings stands a lilac
bush. At 10 o'clock last night the
Braun brothers closed their store and
started for the house. AS they passed
the lilac bush two masked men con-
fronted them with drawn revolvers
Peter, the older brother, attacked one
robber and was greeted by four pistol
shots. Every bullet hit and the grocer
fell dead almost upon his own doorstep.
Harry Braun fled from the robbers
The man who did the shooting saw a
figure in the darkness and gave it a
shot, which penetrated the brain of the
human target. But the robber had
made a terrible mistake. The second
dead man proved to be his fellow high
wayman. The murderer went to the
home of Jacob Rink half mile dis
tant where he stole a horse and
wagon. The rig was found at Batavia,
seven miles distant, with two revolvers
on the seat. No further trace of the
murderer rewards the efforts of the po-

belonging to the Barry company, was al

she was steaming through the inner harbor
in answer to call from vessel. Flames

with such rapidity that before the fire hose
could be attached to the engine, the engineer
was driven out by the heat. All the men 20 on
the boat were rescued by another tug. The
fire fire was finally subdued by hose lines from
other boats, but not until the tug was al
