HORRORS ARE EXAGGERATED.
Old Miner Says stories of skaguay Come
from Tenderfeet.

Kansas City, Nov. 2.-William Cave.
an experienced miner. who left for the
Klondike Aug. last in company with
A. r. Ferguson. prominent Kansas
City man. has returned here after
reaching Lake Bennett, $50 miles from
Dawson City.
"The horrors Of the Skaguay trail are
very much exaggerated" said Mr.. Cave.
"and the only trials and tribulations
people may have there are due to the
fact that they are inexperienced. ] have
known men TO travel in a palace car to
Seattle, take a steamer to Skaguay, and
with no knowledge whatever of noun
tain life and camping out start out on
the trail. Such people cannot cook and
do not know how to pack or make life
easy. These people send out the re-
ports of hardships."
Mr.. Cave says part OF the time he
was with Sylvester Scovel. the New
York Worlds correspondent. and as
sisted Mrs. Scovel back from Lake Ben
nett to Skaguay to meet her husband.
He will go back to the gold country
next spring. he says. after he has trans
acted some personal business here.

IjDon the Dead.

New York, Nov 2.-Thousands Of dis
ciples of Henry George and thousands
of others who did not agree with his
teachings but admired his honesty and
manhood heard the public funeral serv-
ices in the Grand Central palace Sun
day. Another multitude viewed the body
during the early hours of the day. No
such impressive funeral has ever been
known in this city in honor Of a private
citizen. Able representatives of many
denominations united their praise of the
man who had died in his battle harness.
The eulogiums dealt with his life. The
spirit of politics for a time bowed be-
fore the greater spirit of united human
ity. In the vast auditorium where the
dead rested, inspired men. teachers Of
all faiths-Jews, Christians, Catholics.
and Episcopalians-with hearts wrung
with pain, spoke words which confess
edly fell far short Of the great waves of
emotion that sought TO find utterance.
While the body of the dead philoso-
pher lay in state 10000 peo~,e reverent-
ly passed the casket and ~joked upon
his face. From 9 o'clock in the morn
ing till 8 in the afternoon a stream of
men, women and children poured into
the hall The immense throng was com
posed of representatives of all classes.
of all shades of life and all religious
opinion.
The procession which accompanied the
remains to Brooklyn was in many re-
spects the most remarkable ever wit
messed in New York. The catafalque
was a magnificent creation of black
hroadcloth, and al the base was twelve
feet wide. There were five steps lead
ing TO the top. The horses, of Jet black,
were covered with black silk netting
and were led by sixteen grooms. The
only emblem on the top Of the casket
was small white wreath.
The organizations that paid honor to
Mr. George by following the funeral
car fell into line from the side streets
off Madison avenue and below Forty
second street. There were marks Of
respect all along the line. Barred heads
were the rule on both sides of the street
and many men and women were noticed
