Henry George.

AdttoTB Messenger:
Siry: In the midst Of a great and
busy life Death, the inevitable, the in
e%xorable, spoke to Henry George and
summoned his peerless spirit from
earth to eternity. In the thickest Of a
momentous metropolitan ~contest-at
the height Of a memorable municipal
confict-the fearless tribune of the
plain people of Greater New York fell
upon sleep, dying, encased in armor,
with his lance leveled. as n knight of
old romance might wish to die. With
the clamor and clash Of arms in his
cart, with the thrill Of battle in his
veins, in the forefront OF the ranks,
with his face to the foe and breathing
defiance to the last, he calmly and,
perhaps, extuftingly met the end. Liv-
ing he was the Inspiration and idOla-
try OF q following, which was swept off
its feet in a tidal a of delirious
grief At the deep ~darnnation of his
taking ef." Death, the great leveler,
brought beside his bier, with equal
love, with equal loss and with equal
grief, the humble and the proud, pa
trician and plebian, the men, women
and children Of a great city. all OF
whom were alike to him who loved
them all. Pathos and tragedy here

echoed with the ring of his praise. A

In the reputed vigor and prime of his
powers he summoned to his last bat
tie all the reserve of his splendid in

mented death became a loving city,
and nations surprise, it now seems
plain that Henry George, himself, with

this nnal. grand. popular struggle
which wes TO engage his mighty eff

Foot Ball Yesterday

Cambridge, Mass, November 13.-
Harvard and Yale played each other
to q standstill this afternoon on SOL
-diers' Field. For two thrilling hours
the sturdy elevens struggled over the
white lined gridiron, desperately dis
putting every inch Of territory and
vainly essaying to cross the coveted
goal line. The teams had each a
strong defence and weak ground gain
ing powers and the logical outcome OF
the contest was that neither side
scored.
The game vas disappointing. Each
eleven was confident of victory n the
expectations of neither was realized.
Harvard should have won; she had
more possibilities than her rival and
had capabilities which she did not en-
ploy to the limit. Yale was but once
within scoring distance of the Har-
ward bOal, but when Harvard put her
to the test, h was not found want
ing and by her resolute and determined
defence prevented the crimson from
doing what Brown, West Point, Car
Isle n Chicago a already accomp-
lished. The game was unusually de-
void OF long brilliant runs and hair
raising tackles, but the enormous
crowd was kept at the intensest pitch
of excitement yer the final outcome.
The high wind was an important fac
tor Of the result. 1t made necessary
q partially different system OF Onense
and defense for both teams. Yale in
winning the toss and securing the wind
had Harvard at great odds. The fact
that. heavily handicapped as h was.
Harvard defended her territory 30
strongly. led all to believe that in the
second half, the crimson would score
an Easy victory.
T. 49, nooo~1 -haA ~NHnArd hal
the strong wind at her back, 1t was
after she had been battered n buf-
feted about the bridiron for over one
hour and vas in no condition to strike
iato the line with the most telling ef.
So fect. Yale's supposed superiority in
the kicking department did not ma
terialize. Even when Mcbride and
Desaulles had the win at their backs,
Haughton very nearly held his own.
AT times the Yale backs made miser-
able attempts at punting. Our times
they had their kicks blocked by the
Harvard forwards; once 1T turned to
their own advantage, but once decided
iy to Harvard's. Haughton was guilty
OF several bad but costly fumbles,
while Yale's backs seems to misjudge
the punts continually and they were
never sure on their catches. At the
end Yale seemed. to be the fresher.
