The Funeral Procession.

The procession which accompanied the
remains to Brooklyn was in many re-
spects the most remarkable ever wit
messed in New York.
The catafalque was Il magnificent ere
alton of black broadcloth and at the base
was twelve feet in width. There were
five steps leading up to the top. The
horses, of jet black, were covered with
black silk netting and were led by six
teen grooms. The only emblem OH the
top of the casket was small white
wreath.
The organizations that paid honor to
Mr.. George which were following the
funeral car fell into line from the side

FOrty-second street. There was some
disappointment in the small number of
followers and it was conservatively es-

New York. Oct. 31.-Rev. Heber New
ton preached at All Souls church today
on 1.-THE Ethical Issues Before the City,
He said:
1.-The tragedy which has befallen our
city within the last few hours ought to
decide the issues in the heart of every
honest man. A great-minded, noble
hearted man has fallen martyr to the
city's liberty. the city's honor. Conscious
of his physical weakness. yet following
the cali of the city to him. he plunged
into the thick of the fight. regardless of
self, though with the presentment which
he expressed in pathetic words in his
Cooper Union address: Il accept your
nomination and will remain i'm the fight
to the end, though | die in it, OF all
that | have seen as to the ethical aspects
of the issues he was the living embodi-
ment The intense earnestness of his
nature led him to plunge almost reck-
lessly into this battle for the peoples
rights and liberties. He could not be
apathetic. He could not be Indifferent
when the fate of city of 5000, 900 souls
hung in the balance. This intense ear
nestness was one secret of his strange
power over the masses Of men,"

A GLOWING TRIBUTE.
DIR. Felix Adler EuIOgizes the Late
Henry George.


New York, Oct. 31.-At the conclusion
OF an address on present Political Con
ditions" before the Society for Ethical
Culture ut Carnegie hall today. DIR. Felix
Adler paid glowing tribute to the
memory of Henry George He said:
AT the point in great campaign for
the people when the excitement was
tenscst the wierd light of a tragedy illu-
inmates the field. His friends and op-
ponents-foes he had none-haye Joined
in n tribute to his memory. In review
ing his career we recognize three dis
tinct services he rendered to humanity
He did the most of any man to make the
readers of two continents read so much
of the problem of poverty. His claim
as II writer IL secure and he stood as
great popular leader. An old Greek
philosopher, when asked az to whom he
considered the happiest man, named Il
ruler of Athens who lived at time
when Athens was in her glory. who had
n family to continue his work where he
left off and who died on the battle field
just when his army was on the point of
achieving brilliant victory. The same
might be said of George. All these con-
ditions apply, and he died in the midst of
Il great fight for the people. whom he
loved, on the eve of a glorious victory.
1t was his sincerity that the people
loved. They realized his great love
for humanity and respected him for it.
Whether or not they approved his idea
for reconstructing society, they loved and
admired the man."
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-11-04

II Is no ordinary message. The messen-
ger Oh death has brought to our hearts

put It was altogether too small for his
broad mind and indomitable energy.
lie was said Father McGlynn, SIN
ply prophet forerunner sent by God,
ana we can say, in all reverence and in
the word of scripture, that there was a
man sent from God whose name was
John; He was sent to bear witness of
the light Heaven knows l am not
guilty OF any profanity of the scriptures
When say there was n man sent from
God, and his name was Henry George"
DR.. McGlynn was here interrupted by
the applause throughout the hall and
seemed deeply affected. He alluded to
Henry George by DIR. Abbott as ex-
pressing what he thought of him as Il
friend and brother.
Henry Georges gentle heart" the ora
tor said, was ready to break because he
saw that nothing came from professors
of schools of political economy which
could improve the condition of the people
because the limits of the knowledge of
those economists was hardly to be con
sldered within the bounds of science at
all
Wherever word has gone that Henry
George is dead his teachings live and his
voice is heard though he lies still in
death. His works have been read
throughout the world and in every Ian
guage known in the universe. Henry
George speaks to all humanity today"
John 5. Crosby, who has been one of
the most active campaigners for Henry
George, was the last speaker and the
only layman who spoke. His address
dealt more with the principles laid down
by Henry George rather than with mere
culogy of the dead teacher, and evoked
applause even more energetic, perhaps,
than the remarks Of DIR. McGlynn.
The last address was concluded shortly
after o'clock, and the meeting was
dismissed with directions from member
| of the committee as to the manner of
| dismissal from the hall. Nearly all of
| those present took advantage of the OPP
| portunity offered to view the face of
Henry George, and the march past his
| coffin was continued.
