NEw York. Nov. 1.-The body OF
Henry George lay in state yesterday
in the Grand Central palace, and So
200 people passed the casket ana
looked upon the face of the dead PM
losopher. From nine o'clock In the
morning until three in the afternoon
stream of men, women and children
poured into the hall. The immense
throne was composed of representa-
tives of all classes of all shades OF life
and all religious opinion. On every
face was stamped the unmlstakaol ole
signs of sincere regret.
For the first half hour the throng
fling up the hall in twos passed at the
rate of /, 500 an hour, but shortly the
numbers swelled and grew until at one
time so passed each minute. AT TINS
rate 5000 an hour, the crowd passeo
until the churches emptied their au-
diences into the vast concourse wh'ch
was vending its way from torty-slNtn

the line about an hour later, placed
modest bunch of pinks beside the vio-

A little before three o'clock the line
was stopped, and those who could not
get in were compelled to turn back and
get out of the police lines.
A careful estimate of the number
who could not get in is $4,000. This
number is equal TO the number OF
those who passed the casket.
Then another throng came-those
who wished to hear the eminent
clergymen praise Henry George. Dur
ing the last hour an orchestra played

The floral decorations were profuse.
A mass of wreathed flowers was sent
by the Chicago Single Tax club. On a
card accompanying the wreath was

Draw near with piouS reverence and attend;
Here lie the loving husbands dear remains,

The pitying heart that felt for human woe,
The dauntleSs heart that feared no human

The crowd came down the avenue

who went to the left proceeded down a

The procession which accompanied
the remains to Brooklyn was in many
respects the most remarkable ever wit
messed. The catafalque was magniti-
cent creation of black broadcloth, and
at the base was IL feet wide. There
were five steps leading to the top.
The horses, of jet black, were covered
with black silk netting, and were led
| bv 16 grooms. The only emblem on
| the top of the casketwas a small white
wreath.
The organizations that paid honor to
Mr.. George by following the funeral
car fell into line from the side streets
| off Madison avenue and below Forty
second street. There was some disap-
pointment in the small number of fol-
lowers and it was conservatiVely esti-
mated that when the party passed
Thirty-fourth street on Madison ave-
nue. there were less than 2, 500 men in
line.
There were marks of respect all along
the line. Bs<ed heads were the rule
on both sides of the street and many
men and women were. noticed to be
weeping. The remains were entered
in Greenwood cemetery.

HENRY GEORGE.

Rnti-climax so much greater than the
one which is still to come, that men of
all parties have, forgotten their anger
in grief at the blow which has fallen
with such suddenness.
Thursday night noisy, shouting
throngs crushed in halls and streets to
hear the speeches that, in great part,
was filed with personalities and Bit
terness, rockets tiared and fires burned;
men argued and argued, and all signs
bore witness that the campaign
was at its height. But when
day dawned all was changed.
Men were loath to believe that
one who had been so much in the pub
lie eve in the last few weeks was no
more, and for the time being the COM
plexion of the political situation was
forgotten in genuine grief. Those who
last night bitterly denounced the man
who said: II stand for real democra-
cy, the democracy of Thomas Jeffer-
son." now recall many touching kindly
acts in the life of the dead man. which
showed his nature and joined in the
words which came naturally to the
lips of all: IAN honest man is dead. +"
HIS LAST HOURS.
Mr.. George arrived at the hotel
about 1 a. M. He had just come from
several large mass meetings in the
borough of Queens and Brooklyn. The
work of the night seemed to have told
on him. He complained of being tired,
| but his friends and relatives who
awaited him thought it only the
natural fatigue that follows such hard
campaigning work as Mr.. George had
been doing.
Not long after reaching the hotel he
retired. Mrs. George awaited him in
room % of the hotel. TWAS about $3.50
o'clock when Mrs. George was awak-
ened. She found Mr.. George sitting
| in an arm chair.
II am not feeling quite comforts
ble." SAID Mr.. George to his wife.
won't you go back to bed?" inquired
Mrs. George, anxiously.
Il will sit here awhile" was the re-
Spouse.
Mrs. George at once grew anxious as
| to her husbands condition. Mr.. George
| gradually grew incoherent and lapsed
| into semi-consciousness, from which he
never rallied.
| Mrs. George was Frustrated, and was
cared for by the friends of the family

Let ON With a Light Sentence.

The jury in the Hez Rasco case al
MaryviIle brought in verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree, and the
punishment fixed by the jury at ten
years in the penitentiary. This YER
dict is made possible by the law
enacted by the legislature last
winter, which gives juries the right to
take into consideration the age of the
accused, and to assess ligh punish
ment when he is under IS. Judge
Herndon, of Plattsburg. who tried the
case, gave the following signed state
ment to a reporter after the result was
announced:
The jury, it seems to me. placed a very cheap
estimate upon human life. Still, the legislature
has authorized such verdict, and presume
such verdict reflects the sentiments of the
body. That boy Il years old, who, they say
by their verdict committed one of the most
rtHociOuS and cowardly murders known to the
history of the state, should be punished by i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary, is travesty
on justice, and can only lead to one result-con-
for no Ia
