and bicyc1iStS may expect to be called
1pon next week and asked to enter. the
floral parade Many are already MAX
ing arrangements TO appear in the pa
rade, and those who have not yet taken
quest and aid in making the floral pa
rade this year the largest as well as
the most beautiful flower display ever
attempted in this country.
The Fall Festival opens four weeks
from next Monday, and the floral pa
rade will take place on Thursday of
that week. This gives but a limited
time to prepare decorations, and while
it is ample if the work is taken up with
in the next week or ten days, those who
will enter the floral parade should wait
no longer. If they have not the time
necessary to prepare the decorations for
themselves, there are plenty of compe-
tent parties glad of the opportunity of
getting the work who will do it at a
small expense. Their names can be
secured by inquiry at the flower COM
mittee rooms.
There are already ten floats planned
for the floral parade, and two or three
number. One will be the float of the
Flower Queen and flower girls, four will
represent the seasons and will be
placed in the parade with the funds Sc
cured by the production of THE Tenn
pest four others will be arranged in q
series of Ella borate designs and bear the
tion of Cinderella" and one will be
placed in the parade by the young la
dies who have been employed at the
flower committee rooms. In addition to
the floats there will be five handsomely
decorated carriages for the use of the
Festival Queen, the Prime Minister and
court ladies.
The remainder of the floral parade
depends on the efforts of individuals
There will be from $4,000 to 1905 900 Wis
itors in Topeka Festival week, and they
will expect to see magnificent display
on floral day. They have a right to
expect such a display from the success
of the floral parade last year, and it
now depends on the ladies of Topeka to
fulfill the expectations of Topekas Wis
itors.

signified their intention of taking
part in the floral parade. including two

At Providence, r. l., Pennsylvania
rolled up a total of forty points against
the team which had been beaten by
Yale IS to IA, and which had held Har-
ward down to IS and moreover that
team was shut out from scoring
Browns line played a plucky game
and held we'll against Pennsylvania S
famous guard back formation, but
the attack of Pennsylvania was carried
on ruthlessly and the fast and fierce
play was too much for Brown. Browns
greatest weakness was in its inability
TO receive punts, Pennsylvania gaining
every time kicking was resorted to.
The fierceness Of the game is illustra-
ted by the fact that on the Brown team
Fultz had to give way to Croker, Hunt
to Hunter, Carter to Chesbro, Hapgood
to Peavear, and on the Pennsylvania
team Weeks had to give way to For
tescue, and Carnett to Wentz. Nc
Cracken was ruled out of the game in
the first half for unnecessary rough
ness. Captain Fultz signified his will
ingness to have him play in the second
half, but Captain Minds would not put
him in.

ornament save the heavy silver handles
and the plate, which read:
HENRY GEORGE,
Died October %, 1897.

At the back of the platform on a
heavy crepe background was a portrait
of Henry George surrounded with
American flags. At the front OF the
platform stood a bust of the gallant
leader modelled by his son, Richard. At
the foot of the pedestal upon which
the bronze rested were numerous floral
tributes, including a cross, from one
arm, from which hung a wreath Of
white and pink roses from Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom L. Johnson; a wreath of i'm
mortelles and pink orchids. from Jo-
seph Pulitzer; roses and Chrysan-
themums in wreath, from John G.
Milholland. on the card was written:
This to his memory, for l hold him
dear. He was honest. he was brave,
and he loved the people"
The police arrangements were a
credit to the city. Chief McCullagh
was in personal command. Under eight
captains, 50 sergeants and "a rounds
men, there were 655 policemen on duty
in the ncighborhood and in the pal
ace. In the hall itself were fifty men.
two serGeants and two roundsmen.
The system was a simple one, by the
gentlemanly conduct of every common
patrolman 1t was possible to handle
the great crowd without any disagree
able circumstances. Despite the fact
that no one desiring TO approach the
palace was permitted to pass through
the Gordon except at the appointed
place, vet no one living i'm the blocked
off section suffered any Inconvenience
because the policeman seemed to feel
intuitively to those who were honest in
their declarations.
The crowd came down the avenue
five deep and was passed through the
hall in twos. Those going to the right
passed across a bridge into the Grand
Central station. Those who went to
the left passed down short flight OF
stairs into Depew place.

THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
Six Thousand Pcrsous Present-.Re-
marks By Distinguished Speakers,

New York, Oct. 31-Before o'clock
the people We're permitted to occupy
the seats in the hall. The front seats
of the main part of the hall was re-
served for the immediate friends of
the deceased, the pall-bearers and the
ushers. All the rest of the main floor
was open to the crowd, and it took but
short time to fill the hall. The plat
form, of course, was reserved, and the
galleries, which hold a comparatively
small number, were likewise reserved
for the holders of tickets. 1t was said
to have been the intention at first not
to have any policemen in the hall at
ALL but large number of uniformed
police were present. Owing to the
careful arrangement in the streets,
however, the crowd inside was not per-
mitted TO reach such proportions as
would lead to unpleasant crowding
such as might result in a panic. Every
seat was taken, and in certain por-
tions a considerable number of persons
were permitted to stand. 1t is esti-
mated that nearly 5000 people were in
the hall during the services.
1t had been announced that the eXer-
ciscs would begin ct o'clock, but,
doubtless owing to the difficulty ex-
perienced in reaching the hall, the
mourners and the friends of the fam
lily did not arrive until about twenty
minutes after that hour. The family
ana intimate friends occupied the re-
served seats on the right hand facing
the platform. Young Henry George oc-
cupied the chair next to the aisle in the
front row, and his mother was beside
him. Mrs. George was heavily yelled
when she entered the hall, but during
the speaking she raised her Veil and
followed the remarks of each speaker
attentively While showing plainly
the strain that she has passed through
Mrs. George maintained her composure
with stern fortitude. To the right of
Mrs. George were seated the other
members of the family and relatives
including Richard George, a son of the
philosopher, and his daughter, Miss
Anna George. John V. George, a
brother of the deceased, and other rela.
tives were present.
THE PALL-BEARERS.
The reserved seats to the left were
occupied by the pall-bearers and the
ushers. The pall-bearers had entered

At Cambridge-Cornell got the first
score made on Harvard this season.
For Cornell, Captain McKeever did by
far the best work. The Cornells proved
incapable of keeping up a sharp Of

ceptible to injuries, fully half of the
time being taken out on that account.

The victory Of the Lackawannas over
the Hillmans was the first in many
years. the first, in fact, since Charles
Colbert played on the team. About
800 persons saw the game which was
referred by Laurie Bliss. The defense
of both elevens was weak. Bucking
featured the whole game. Lackawan-

Mott. The line up:

Within few days there will likely
be developments OF startling charac-
ter that will implicate upwards of q
hundred or more persons Of this city
and BenwOCd in a system of Wholesale
stealing that has been going on in this
vicinity for a good many months.
The compliments are the Baltimore
e Ohio, Ohio River and Panhandle
railroad companies and their losses
within the last year, including their
losses along their lines, will aggregate
several hundred thousand dollars.
The companies complain that their
cars have continually been robbed Of
the rubber hose with which each car
is supplied to conduct the air for the
brakes. At each end Of the car there
is a piece of hose two feet long, which
costs the company over two dollars
apiece. This hose has been cut off
by different people and used for
various purposes. junk dealers, mill
men and others are accused of cutting
and taking away the rubber.
The mill men of the various mills
along the route of these railroads are
held accountable for the most Of the
stealing. 1t is alleged that they have
stolen the hose and used it for soling
their shoes. In walking about the hot
plate in the mills leather soles wear
easily, and, leaving the nails Of the
shoes exposed. they frequently slip.
The rubber sOles prevent this, and the
merit of rubber sCles has been read
f1y recognized and are in general use.
A police Official of one Of the roads
visited one of these mills the other day
in company with one Of the managers
and noticed that every man wore shoes
with rubber soles. The managed OF
the mill was greatly surprised and as
sured the official that everything would
be done in his power TO prosecute all
in his employ who were guilty of steal
ing.
The managers of mills Of the South
Side and BenwOod have been approach
cd about the matter by representatives
of the railroads and have assured
them Of their willingness TO do all
within their power to bring the offend
ers to Justice. The b. 81 o. company
have been robbed in this manner all
along the lHTee ulNlsiOHS "liN -,
losses amount to considerable. The
Ohio River and Panhandle roads re-
port that during the last week twenty.
two cars were robbed and the rubber OF
the air-brake attachment stolen. De-
tectives Shorts. Of the b. e O., and
Mehan. Of the Ohio River, have been
working on these cases, and numerous
prosecutions are sure to follow within
a few DAYS. About year ago several
South Side parties were given sen
fences for the same offenses and the
railroad companies are determined 10
put a stop to it. They not only suiier
a big loss. but by the removal OF the
air-brake attachments on the cars dis
astrous railroad wrecks are rendered
liable.
