GRIEF FOR A LEADER.


his evident grief at the loss of his old
friend did not prevent the display of some
Characteristic flights of eloquence by him.
DR.. McGlyn said:
I'VE stand upon ground that is made
sacred by the remains of a man who was
raised from among us by our Father in
heaven to spread the messages of truth and
righteousness and justice and peace to all.
He died in a struggle for the cause or hui

1t was altogether too small for his broad
mind and indominable energy. He was sim

the words of the Scriptures that there was

proclamation of the sacred scriptures when
/ say there was a man sent from God and
his name was Henry George"
Dr. McGlynn was here interrupted by APP
plause throughout the hall and seemed deep
logy bestowed upon Henry George by DR.:
Abbott, rs expressing what ne thought or
him as "a friend and brother. Henry
was ready to break because he saw that
nothing came from the professors of the
schools of political economy which could
improve the condition of the people, because
the limits of the knowledge of those econo-
mists was hardly to be considered within
the bounds of science at all. Truly, 1t was
designed by Providence to raise up such a
man before the world to expose the fallacy
and the injustice of their reasoning. Wher-
ever 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 language known in the uni
verse George speaks to all humanity to-
day."
John s. 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 duty of the present, in accordance with
the principles laid down by Henry George
rather than with mere eulogy Of the dead
teacher, and evoked applause even more
energetic, perhaps, than the remarks of Dr.
McGlynn.
The last address was concluded shortly
after o'clock, and the meeting was dis
missed, with directions from a member Of
the committee as to the manner of dis
missal from the hail. Nearly all of those
present took advantage of the opportunity
offered to view the face of Henry George,
and the march past his coffin was continued
as it had been in progress during the day.

NEW YORK, Oct. S1.-Rev Heber New

fallen a martyr to the city's liberties, the
city's honor. Conscious of his physical
weakness, yet following the call of the city

earnestness of his moral nature led him TO

the peoples rights and liberties. He could
not be apathetic. He could not be indif-
ferent when the fate OF city of three mil
lion souls hung in the balance. This in
tense earnestness was one secret OF his
strange power over the masses of men"

Stonewall Jackson for this act that during

Not long after the battle she was cap
tured and taken to the old Capital prison,
at Washington, where after a few months
stay she was exchanged for Colonel Cor

Funeral Procession Was Small, hut

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The procession
which accompanied the remains to Brook

catafalque was magnificent creation of
black broadcloth, and at the base was
twelve feet wide. There were five steps
leading to the top. The horses. of jet black,
were covered with black silk netting and
were led by sixteen grooms. The only en-
blem on the top of the casket was a small
white wreath.
The organizations that paid honor to Mr..

DIR. FELIX ADLER's TRIBUTE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-At the conclusion
IF an address on Present Political Condi-
tions'' before the Society for Ethical Gull
ture at Carnegie Hall to-day, DIR. Felix Ad-
Ter paid a glowing tribute to the memory
Of Henry George. He said:
cat the point in the great campaign for
the people, when the excitement was
tensest the weird light of a tragedy ilu-
mines the field His friends and opponents
foes he had none-have joined in a tribute
to his memory. In reviewing his career we
recognize three distinct services he rem
dered to humanity. He did the most of any
man to make the readers of the two con-
tinents realize the problem of poverty. His
claim as q writer is secure, and he stood as
a great popular leader. An old Greek
philosopher when asked whom he consid-
cred the happiest man, named a ruler of
Athens who lived at a time when Athens
was in her glory. who had a family to con-
tinue his work where he left off, and who
died on the field of battle just when his
army was on the point of achieving a bril-
liant victory. The same might be said of
George All these conditions apply, and he
died in the midst of a great fight for the
people, whom he loved, on the eve of glo-
rious victory. 1t was his sincerity that the
people loved. They realized his great love
for humanity and respected him for 1t.
Whether or not they approve his idea of
reconstructing society, they loved and adj
mred the man."

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 31.-Metropolitan
Temple was crowded at noon to-day at the
memorial services for Henry George, held
under the auspices of the Single Tax So
ciety President Manzero, of that organiZa-
ton, was chairman of the meeting. Miss
McCloskey, & cousin of Henry George, sang
position with the economist. She broke
down during its rendition and most of the
audience was similarly affected. Congress
man James G. Mcguire recalled many per-
sonal "reminiscences of the author of Prog
ress and Poverty" and eX-Judge Robert
Ferrel, who nineteen years ago was asso-
ciated with Mr.. George in the publication
of the Evening Post here, spoke Of the
dead mans journalistic experience. Other
eulogistic addresses were made by James

and Chairman Manzero, the latter dismiss
ing the audience with substitute for the

WOMAN'S AVAILABILITY.

which contributes untold blessings to
American homes there is no better proof
than the fact that one million American
women belong to women's clubs.
This is not a prima facie case at all, but
the truth of il is easily proved. In the
current periodicals there are several arti-
Giles. on women's clubs and a particularly
luminous discussion of them by Mr.. Helen
Waterson Moody in the October number of
Scribner's Magazine Now, from these va
rious articles We learn that women go to
their clubs to be preached at, to be in
Structed in one thing and another and to
learn how better TO act their part in the
complex civilization of which they are a
most important part.
The exercises at these clubs we believe,
usually consist in the reading of papers by
persons who forego other emplOyments so
as to find time to spoil good paper with
faint ink. In all the things that humans
have to submit to at one time or another
there probably never was any one thing so
tiresome as the listening to papers on sub
jectS about which the authors know little
or nothing, except that more fearful ex-
perience of listening to papers by experts
who know all about one thing and precious
little about anything else
To read a paper is to be bore; to listen
to the reading of a paper Is TO be bored
And yet We are told that one million of our
American women do this very thing every
week, and actually pretend that they like

again called for glass of whisky. The bell

The Original Ozark Horse"

People are always talking about "the dark
horse" but we wonder how many nova
days read the following passage which gave
the phrase it's origin:
THE first favortte was never heard OF,
the second favorite was never seen after
the distance post. all the ten-to-oners were
in the rear, and dark horse which had
never been thought of and which the care
less st. James had never even observed in
the list, rushed past the grand stand in
sweeping triumph
This is from the late Lord Beaconsfleld's

tremendous popularity and which can be
read to-day with satisfaction by all with
taste for epigrams.
