HENRY GEORGE MEMORIAL.
An Appeal to the Country in Behalf
of His Widow.

New York, Nov. 20.-The Henry
George memorial committee. of which
Mayor Strong and Seth Low are mem
bers, met in the city hall and drew up
an appeal which viii be made to the
public in a few days. The appeal is as
follows:
1.-The sudden death of Henry George,
which was directly caused by his self
sacrificing eXertions in an earnest and
unselish effort to serve the interests
of the people, has given rise to a gen
! eral desire that some memorial sub
scription should be raised in token of
appreciation. This is shared quite as
fully by those who differed with Mr..
Georges views as by those who agreed
with him.
"The life of Henry George was de-
voted by him absolutely and without
reserve to the service of mankind He
not only sought nothing for himself
but sacrificed every chance for per-
sonal profit for the sake of the highest
good of his fellowmen. 1t was uuiver-
sally recognized that in becoming a
candidate for mayor, his motives were
without a thought to his own profit of
fame. Such lives are so rare as to
deserve the fullest recognition and the
highest honor
mo memorial to Henry George could
be more grateful to him and no more
satisfactory to all who recognize his
worth than a provision made by public
subscription to put his widow in such
a position of comfort as she would I'M
doubtedly have enjoyed had her hus-
band devoted his genius and his Won
J derful power as a, writer to the benefit
| of his family instead of the benefit Of
! humanity. Therefore, at the request OF
many friends and admirers of Henry
George, the undersigned have consent
ed to act as a committee to receive
public subscriptions to such extent as
may be necessary to secure for Mrs.
George a satisfactory support for the
remainder of her life. The surplus
| beyond that amount viii be used in
| providing such permanent memorial as,

1t cannot be. The Cubans in Cuba and
the Cubans in America have the utmost
faith in the administration in Wash

Eidel C. Pierra said: The story can
not be true. The president. secretary
of state and the whole cabinet are too
we'll informed to adopt any such Gu
ban policy. Such talk is proftless.
But whatever happens we are going
to keep on fighting We did not begin
this war with closed eyes. We counted
the cost, and are prepared for any OBJ
stacles. They cannot prevent Cuban
independence. They may delay it; that
is all.

strength as on Spains helplessness. AS

took the afternoon westbound train.
That they expected the injured hus-

Westfalrs nervous actions. He told
several parties that he was anxious to
get out of town before they could be
overtaken, as he expected Tennell to
do some shooting if he caught sight of
the clippers. Up to the departure of
the train, however, Mr.. TenneH had

GOT INTO TROUBLE.

Quite recently, it seems, this bellicose
individual got into trouble with the
police, who, instead of taking him to
the lookup, gave him terrible thrash
ing and left him lying in the streets
for dead. In accordance with his usual
custom, the British vice consul went
to the assistance Of his colored fellow
subject and brought the matter before
the chief of the republic, President
Heureux. The latter, after thorough
consideration of the matter, is said to
have remarked in substance to the
consul: You know the character Of
this man and you know what he de-
serves. L admit that he has been I'M
duly punished, and I am sorry for it,
but 1 would like to see the last of him
and 1 will give you $1,000 to get him

After some little barter, the story
continues, the president increased the
amount to $4,000 The money, it is
added, was handed to the consul and
the matter considered closed. Some
weeks later. however, it is further
stated, the president was driving along
the streets of the city and saw the
jamaican negro walking along, dressed
in new suit and smoking cigar.
His excellency ordered his coachman
to stop and called the negro TO him
and then expressed his surprise that
he had not left the country after hav-
ing been paid so large a sum as $4,000.
