The Nashville Exposition Came to an
End Saturday Night.
/. Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1.-The Ten
nessee Centennial exposition closed at
midnight Saturday, the event being
lleralded by the ringing of the chimes
in the Auditorium, the blowing of
whistles, the booming of cannon and
the sounding of horns in the hands of
young and old. =, d..
The total attendance at the exposi-
ton since the opening on the first day
of last May is estimated at 1850, OOO
President Thomas officially announced
Saturday night that the exposition will
pay out dollar for dollar, and this
promptly. The largest day Of the ex-
position was President j. W. Thomas
day, October 20. The attendance was
sl,493; this is nearly 10000 more than
the attendance at Atlanta on their red
letter day. The estimate of attendance
by the chief of the bureau of promotion
and publicity was 100000 and his
limit would have been surely reached
but for the senseless yellow fever scare.
Not a single casualty has occurred at
the exposition during the six months
of it's existence. The order maintained
at the exposition has been simply mag
nificent. :

THE PROCESSION.

One of the Most Remar kable Ever

The procession which accompanied

was magnificent creation of black
broadcloth and at the base was ~ 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 16 grooms. The only en-
blem on the top of the casket was a
small white wreath. The organizations
that paid honor to Mr.. George by fol-
lowing the funeral car fell into line
from the side streets off Madison ave-
nue. and below Forty-second street.
There was some disappointment in the
small number of followers and it was
conservatively estimated that when the
party passed Thirty-fourth street on
Madison avenue there were less than
1850 men in line. There were marks of
respect all along the line. Barred heads
were the rule on both sides of the

noticed to be crying.
It was eight o'clock when the head
of the column rounded into Broadway
again at Fourteenth street. An ex-
pectant crowd of George worshipers
thanked Broadway at Canal street. Here
it was also noticed that there was much
weeping. The procession from that
point to City Hall park was without in

scenes of grief which had been mani
tested along the entire route.

HENRY GEORGE,
"Died October %. 1897"

Profuse Floral Tributes.
At the back of the platform, on a
heavy Grape background, was portrait
of Henry George, surrounded with
American flags. At the front of the
platform stood bust of the fallen lead
er modelled by his son Richard. At the
foot of the pedestal upon which the
bronze rested were numerous fora
tributes, including cross, from one
arm of which hung a wreath of white
and pink roses from Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
L. johnson; wreath of immortelles
and pink orchids, from Joseph Pulitzer;
roses and chrysanthemums in wreath,
from John C. Milholland.
For the first half hour the throng
filing up the hall in two's passed at the
rate of 1900 an hour, but shortly the
numbers swelled and grew until at one
time So passed each minute. At this
! rate, 5000 an hour, the crowd passed I'M
til the churches emptied their audi
ences into the vast concourse which
was vending its way down from Forty
sixth street to the palace and which
filled Forty-sixth street and Third
avenue for many blocks. For the last
two hours the crowd came at the rate
of 5000, an hour. This is the highest
rate obtainable under such circum-
stances as these. Any greater celebrity
would have meant an undignified, ir-
reverential2 rush.
A little before three o'clock the line
was stopped and those who could not
get in were compelled to turn back and
get out from the police lines. A care

not get in is 100000. This number is
equal to the number of those who

DIR. McGlynn was here interrupted
by applause throughout the hall, and
seemed deeply affected. He alluded to
the touching eulogy bestowed upon
Henry George by DR.. Abbott as ex-
pressing what he thought of him as a
friend and brother.
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 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.

getic perhaps than the remarks of DR..
McGlynn. The last address was con.
cluded shortly after five o'clock, and
the meeting was dismissed.

HER SCOLDING LOCKS.
She Tried to ObliEe q Friend But She
Got Angry About 1t.

Some people are absolutely devoid of tact.
One of these is youthful matron who,
wishing to make her very dearest friend
another young matron-a birthday present,
decided on the purchase of a handsome pair
of shell side combs.
Nothing could have been more appropri-
ate for the blonde tresses of her friend, and
the giver felt much pleased with her selec-
ton when she went to call on her and give
her the pretty ornaments.
II thought you would like them," she
said, when her friend had admired them and
thanked her rapturously, "you will find them
so handy to fasten up your scolding locks"
"What do you mean?" asked her friend, in
a surprised tone.
did you never hear of scolding locks?
They are the short ends of your hair that
are always flying loose. They bother one
so much, but side combs keep them in Or
der, besides being very becoming orna-
ments." 1
$50 you think I have scolding locks-then
I must be a scold: Thanks, ,awfully, dear,
but don't believe I need any combs. Keep
them for your own scolding outfit, and the

them up and carried them home, where she
had a fit of Mysteries. And all because she
needed little tact-Chicago Times Herald.
