of my heart

nized pure and high minded man
unselfish patriot, and a brave and un-
compromising champion of the peoples

thy of soldiers in the same battle for

one whose nerves were so highly
wrought that they might snap with
out warning. The pace of the cam
paign was harder than this man, high
strung and sensitive, could maintain.
The journal and Advertiser this
morning contained an article written
by Alfred Henry Lewis, who visited the
famous single tax advocate at his head
quarters in the Union Square Hotel yes
terday. OF his impressions, Mr. Lewis
wrote: THE Henry George I found
was not the Henry George / had met
fewer than two months ago. When 1
saw him last he was tranquil, even
steady, as to nerves, rational, sedately
contented, talking of his books and his
tax dreams. To-day I met a man hag-
gard, pincher, with a face as thin and
peaked as a pin. His eye roved, his
hair was tumbled, his face a thea
ter of disorder. If he was the
picture of anything it was un-
fed ambition made desperate There
was despair, too. in his face, as IL in a
dim way he looked into the future black
with disappointment. l tell you it was
shock to see the man.
DEATH WAS PAINLESS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Dr. NJ. E. Kel-
ley, Mr.. Georges family physician, re-
ceived a message at his home at 4
O'Clock this morning that Mr.. George
was dying. He Immediately dressed

Mr.. George stricken with apoplexy He
was already beyond hope. The physi-
clan could do nothing. Mr.. Georges
death was painless
DIR. Kelley said he saw Mr. George a
few days ago, and that he was in bet
ter condition than he had been at the
opening of the campaign. When asked
whether he had advised Mr. George to
enter the canvass, the doctor replied
eVaS1Vely: Il don't think any power
In Christendom could have prevented
Henry George from sacrificing himself
IN the cause in which he was enlisted.

In the death certificate DR.. Kelley
SAID: Il hereby certify that / attended

October, 1897; that 1 last saw him alive

Off again, and this time to hall in the

there was prolonged cheering. He
said:

THE BALLOT is SACRED.
IMPORTANT DECISION nv
CHICAGO JUDGE.
No One Can be Compelled to Dis.

Even in Court.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Judge Freeman
has decided that under the Australian
ballot system a voter cannot he com

ballot. This principle of law holds good.
it is declared, even when the legality of
an election has been questioned in court
proceedings, and the issue depends up
on ascertaining how and for whom GER
tain voters exercised their franchises.
The question arose in the Evanston
Mayoralty contest, which has been
pending in the courts for some time,
and the decision bids fair to leave May
or Dyche the undisputed head of the
suburban municipality. Though it is
the first time the point has been raised
and decided in this State, Judge Free
man did not give any reasons or cite
any law which led him to his conclu-
sion.
Mayor Dyche's opponent was Alder
man AL Currey. The fight was bitter,
and Dyche was elected with only sew
enty votes to spare. The Alderman in
stituted a contest and filed a bill in the
Superior Court in which he claimed
that the result of the election was at
tanned by fraud. The document also al
legged that 10 illegal votes were cast,
and that all of them We're for Dyche.
and list of illegal voters was given in
the bill
Later Currey's attorneys brought all
the alleged Illegal voters before Notary
Boyer upon an order of court and pro-
ceeded to take their deposftions
A test case was made by I Holmes
refusing to answer the questions asked
him on the ground that to do so would
tend to criminate him. For so refusing
he was cited to appear before Judge
Freeman for contempt of court, and
the matter was argued at length.
In his opinion Judge Freeman said
that when the question was first raised
he was inclined to think the witness
could be compelled to answer the ques-
tions tending to show how and for
whom he voted, and that this was the
real question at issue. After holding
the matter in consideration for some
time he had come to the conclusion
that this was the correct view.

Nature Gives Way Under the
Strain of Specializing in His
Fight for Mayor of New York
Death Came Peacefully While
Sitting in a Chair in His Room
at the Union Square Hotel.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Henry George,
author of Progress and Poverty" aud
candidate of the Thomas Jefferson De-
mocracy for Mayor New York, died at
4:10 o'clock this morning in the Union
Square Hotel of cerebral apoplexy.
In his great Cooper Union speech ac-
cepting the nomination for Mayor less
than a month ago he said: 'I'n make
the race if it costs me my life. This
is a call to duty, and as a good citizen
1 have no right to disregard it on ac-
count of mere personal consideration" P"
To-day the cheers of the workers
have suddenly been changed to signs,
for, true to his words, Henry George,
the apostle of the rights of man, died
as he wished to die-in harness, fight
ing for the cause-toward the close of
the greatest municipal political contest
the world has ever seen.
The end was peaceful, and he died
without pain. This man of mighty
brain and undaunted courage was
physically frail, and the strain of an
exciting campaign, requiring speech

making at points many miles apart
night after night, was more than Ia
ture could stand. He kept it up to the
end, and only a few hours before the
dread messenger cried halt, Henry
George had addressed enthusiastic au-
dienees in three of the towns Of the
borough of Queens, and still larger
assembIage in an uptown hall here
He spoke at Whitestone at 5 O'clock
and delivered day speech at College
Point and Flushing before returning 10
New York to speak at the Central OPP
era-house Mrs. George went with him.
All the halls in which he spoke were
filed, and at College Point and at
Flushing crowds were turned away. At
Whitestone he drove from the railroad
station to the meeting han at a galop-
To the cheering crowds he said:
Il believe that all the needed reforms
are summed up in that philosophy-the
right of every man to eat, to drink, to
speak. as he sees fit, so long as he does
not trench on the rights of any other
man. I believe that God, the Father
can take care of its laws-there IS no
need for US to get into trouble trying
to meddle with Gods laws, to enforce
Them. If I am elected, and l belleve

law upon the rich and poor alike.

tones that visibly excited his audience
.1et the law be enforced. Let him go

Mr.. George picked up his hat, saying
s,ood-bv and started for the door. The
crowd rose, cheering, eloowed ana

At College Point there were 1,ZOU
common Iaborers, a rough CROWD
closely packed in the hall. MI Georse
was introduced as the friend OF the
workingman. He began:

of the workingman. do not now make
any such claim. CThere was a pause
of dead silence)-I have not and do not
intend to advocate anything in the
special interest Of the laboring man
(Another dead pause.
Mr.. George walked the full length OF
the platform, and let out his full voice
in a shout: Il am for men," (The
crowd set up such a cheering and
stamping that the room was filled with
choking dust.) Il am for men. the
equal rights of all men. Let US be
done with asking privileges for the la
boring men"
There was much cheering and shout
ing as the speaker pushed his way out
of the hall. He drove to Flushing a
long ride, at the end of which he spoke
to 1.SO0 people, who had waited an
hour to see and cheer for their idol.

Another famous old landmark that

in the destruction at Tappan, n. Y, Of
the house in which Mai. Andre was
confined before his execution. The
wreck was caused By wind, aided, Of
course, by general disintegration. at
first q few of the old stones fell, but as
the gale increased there was 3 collapse
OF the walls and the whole mass fell
into the road The house was built
long before the revolution and for many
years was used as an inn By Csspsrus

DisaErsem-nt In = Liquor Case.
Court convened Monday and accord
ing to the rules of the court the day
was occupied in arranging the docket,
hearing motions, etc.
The first case called Tuesday morn
ing was the State VS.. G. NJ. Phillips, a
liquor prosecution. Monday the attor-
neys for the defense had filed motions
to quash, dismiss and continue, but all
were overruled by the court, although
petition containing the names of
nearly 400 voters had been presented
to the county attorney and laid by him
before the court. A jury was difficult
to secure and the first witness was not
called until Wednesday morning. The
states witnesses were not very enthu-
sisstic prohibitionists, and the testi-
mony they gave was, in the main, some
what in favor of the defendant. The
defense put no witnesses on the stand,
and the case went to the jury as court
closed in the evening with everyone
prophesying disagreement. Up to the
time Of going TO press the jury had not
reached decision.
The state vs.. Lamb is now on trial.
