representatives of all classes of all
shades of life and all religious opinion.
On every face was stamped the unmis-
taxable signs of sincere regret, while
hundreds of faces were drawn with
suffering and pain. To thousands of
those who passed by Henry George
was personally known, and it was
these who
fingered for Longer Moment
to gaze again on the face of the man
whom to know was to love. Some of
them wept. The children, of whom
there were hundreds, were raised along
by the guard and held up while they
gazed at the features Of the man who
died fighting to brighten their lives.
The crowd came down the avenue
five deep and was passed through the
hall in twos. Chiet McCullagh was in

honor to the man who had fallen in the
battle for what he believed to be the
right. Henry George, apostle of the
single tax, leader of the new Jeffer.

of election, was honored as no private
citizen of America was ever honored
before.
Public griefs have been many in the
great metropolis of the Western hem
isphere; many have been sincerely
mourned, but none had laid at his bier
such evidences Of public grief, wide
spread sorrow and sincere grief as was
laid at the bier of Henry George. From
the day dawn far into the night the
outward manifestation of grief lasted,
thousands gazed upon the familiar, be-
loved features, cold in death, yet
Smiling SereneIy as In Sleep,
other thousands heard stirring orations,
magnificent eulogies upon the mar
tyred dead. In every temple of God,
wherever men gathered to worship or
to hear lectures and philosophy taught,
garlands of praise were bestowed upon
the memory of the revered dead.
In the vast auditorium where the
dead rested, inspired men, teachers of
all faiths, Jews, Christians, Catholics
and Episcopalians, with hearts wrung
With pain, spoke words which confess
edly fell far short of the great waves of
emotion that sought to find utterance.
Not dissenting voice was heard to the
declaration that Henry George was a
lover of the people, who, he believed,
Were being oppressed, and that he gave
his life that humanity might live.
