The pall-bearers have not yet been
selected. Mr. George was an Episco-

attendance at church. His widow is Il
Catholic, and it was often said that
her husband intended to embrace Cath

they were induced to retire for much

great associate in the single-taX battle
of other years had expired. At the
hotel he was met by Henry George Jr.
When he was taken into the room
where his friend lay dead, he burst into
tears. The scene was a distressing one.

to agree that the huge democracy of
Thomas Jefferson, built up by Henry
George in three weeks will not be
principal factor in next Tuesdays cleo

that he would have polled more than
100000 votes if he had survived the
campaign, but theses votes are probably
not transferable. Some of the leaders
were today in favor of throwing the
influence of the organization to Seth
Low. but the campaign committee de-
cided not to give up the fight, and
nominated young Henry George to
take his fathers place. They also is

DRAMATIC ALMOST
WITHOUT PARALLEL.
Promise of the Silver Leader Give His Life to the
Cause Made Good.
Eldest Son of the Late Nominee Selected to Fill the
Vacant Place-Various Views of the
Tragic Climax.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29-Henry George,
author of Progress and Poverty" and
candidate of the Jeffersonian Democra-
cy for mayor of New York, died at 4:50
o'clock this morning in the Union
Square hotel Of cerebral apoplexy.
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Jefferson Democracy,
Henry George Jr, eldest son of the
late reformer, was selected to fill the
place at the head of the ticket, left
vacant by the death of his father, and
the unanimous nomination was at once
accepted.
In his great Cooper Union speech
accepting the nomination for mayor
less than a month ago, he said:
I'll make this race if it costs me
nay life. This is n call to duty, and
as a good citizen 1 have no right
to disregard it on account of mere
personal considerations.
Today the cheers of the workers
have suddenly been changed to signs,
for, true to his word, Henry George,
the apostle Of the rights of man, died
as he wished to die-in harness fight
ing for the cause of his party-toward
the close of the greatest municipal po-
litical contest the world has ever
seen.
The end was peaceful, and he died
without pain. This man of mighty
brain and undaunted courage was
physically fratI, and the strain of an
exciting campaign, requiring speech
making at points many miles apart,
night after night, was more than ma
ture could stand. He kept it up to the
end and only a few hours before the
dread messenger called halt Henry
George had addressed enthusiastic
audiences in three of the towns of the
borough of Queens, and a still larger
assemblage in an uptown hall here.
He spoke at Whitestone at 8 o'clock,
and made speeches at College Point
and Flushing before returning to New
York to speak at the Central Opera
house. Mrs. George went with him All
the halls in which he spoke were filled,
and at College Point and Flushing
crowds were turned away. At White
stone he drove from the railroad sta
ton to the meeting hall at a gallop.
To the cheering crowds he said:

pause of dead silence. I have not
and do not intend to advocate any
thing in the special interest of the Ia
boring man. (Another dead pause. Mr..
George walked the full length of the
platform, and let out his full voice in
a shout.) I am for men. (The crowd
set up such a cheering and stamp
ing that the room was filled with chok-
ing dust) l am for men, the equal
rights of all men. Let us be done with

men,
MUCH CHEERING.
There was much cheering and shout
ms as the speaker pushed his way out
of the hall. He drove to Flushing,
long ride, at the end of which he
spoke to 1900 people, who had waited
an hour to see and cheer for their idol.
Off again, and this time to hall in
the center of Manhattan island. Here
there was prolonged cheering. II hear
above your shouts the rOOSters crow
he said, next Tuesday you will hear
that rooster crow again. and the party
of freedom and of the common people
will have come in again, after years
of longing and of waiting, and after
various other kinds of Democracy,
after that of Cleveland, after that of
Croker. l have travelled much, wish
ing after the Democratic fashion, to
show myself to the people whose suf-
frage I ask. 1 have met everywhere
crowds like this, intense in spirit, and
large in numbers. After meeting them

1 have not hid my light under a
bushel. You know what 1 believe. I
believe in meeting my fellow men and
talking to them. If elected 1 will hon
estly, fearlessly and conscientiously
carry out the principles for which I
stand You may believe me and trust
the result"
Then Henry George broke away
from the crowd, his long days work
was over: his busy life's work was
done. He went to his hotel after mid
night, hoping to get a few hours sleep,
and rise strong enough for a still more
arduous days work, but before the
morning he had passed away.
LIES WORK DONE.
Mr. George arrived at the hotel at 1
o'clock this morning. The work of the
night seemed to have told on him. He
complained of being tired, but his
friends and relatives who awaited him

Bruffey. When it came to getting news
quick and fast from any accessible dis
tance. Bruffey was Grady's favorite lieu
tenant during those days when the FAM
Gus journalist was paralyzing the then
slow-going South by getting out rapid
newspaper.
"He has plunged through the night on
wild engine. rushing at breakneck speed
over terrible Southern roads, where pas
sengers in ordinary trains would often
hold their breath in fear, to be the first
reporter at some scene OF important news,
because Grady had sent him.
1.-THE atmosphere of a newspaper Office
Is like unto the breath 10 his nostrils to
Bruffey. He entered into matrimonial
alliance with the profession quarter of
century ago. and never since that time has
he found a bride to wean him away from
the work he learned to love so well under
the tutelage of Henry Grady"
When I first met Mr.. Grady" said
Colonel Bruffey to SUNDAY CALL reporter.
'he was doing space work on the Atlanta
Constitution, and 1 was one of its report
ers. Fortune had not favored him then
and his great abilities were yet unknown,
and in those days he knew no more about
where his next meal was coming from
than many of the boys do now, but then
he was the same happy-hearted, liberal
minded, true, stanch man that the world
has declared him to have been since his
death.
Certainly Mr.. Grady" Colonel Bruf-
fey continued, twas the. first Southern
man to sound the socsin of peace and to
seek to restore feeling of good-fellow-
ship. In all my newspaper life i have
never found a man possessed of more per-
sonal magnetism than Henry Grady.
"Time and again have heard him COM
pliment his men for work they had done
in such a way that were it possible for
every word to be turned into gold, the
exchange would not have been made.
But Gradys gone now and all the old
boys miss him." and the colonel turned
his head to wipe away silent tear.
In addition to having been the friend of
the illustrious Grady, Bruffey is warm
personal friend of Joel Chandler Harris,
whose "Uncle Remus" stories have de-
lighted children and charmed those of
older growth in all the civilized nations of
the earth, and of Frank L. Stanton, the
Southern poet, whose charming verses of
the South are quoted from San Francisco
to Boston and in England and European
countries.
They all work together, these three.
Mr.. harris is the chief editorial writer on
the Constitution, while Mr.. Stanton, with
wonderful versatility, writes a bright,
witty column of verse and prose daily for
the same paper. All three were warm
personal friends of Grady and this tie
brings them into close communion.

II Siamesed
Willow Tree

The many poets who have sung in vary
ing strains about the willow tree probably
never have imagined such a queer willow
tree as A. Carlisle of this City has induced
to grow upon land which he owns at
Berkeley. In fact, this singular willow
tree began existence as two willow trees.
tiny little saplings, as slender and pliable
as rushes that grow by the brookside
They were planted by Mr.. Carlisle, space
OF about three feet apart and when they
had reached height of some feet he bent
the tops of the saplings together and Sc
cured them so that they could not be
separated without breaking them.
They were thus formed into an arch, or
perhaps something more like the shape
of Tyre, the name of which has long been
associated in song with tuneful mention
OF "a weeping willow tree" Mr.. Carlisle
said nothing about his experiment TO any
one for a time. His purpose was to see
whether he could make two trees assume
one identity and have two sets of roots
giving strength to one upright trunk. He
was, in word, trying to repeat in tree
growth that singular freak in human life
which has gone into history as the Siam
ese twins, the account of whom has much
interested Mr.. Carlisle.
After the trees had become accustomed
to the unusual shape in which they were
growing they showed no tendency to pull
apart Then by careful pruning they were
made to actually unite and, as might be
expected. from the union of the energy of
the two shoots of much vitality were de-
veloped. The shoots which started out
horizontally were Topped off. One shoot
which grew vertically was permitted to
remain and into that went all the sus-
tenance which could be infiltrated, all the
sustenance that two independent and Wig
orous sets of distinct roots were able to
withdraw from the soil.
To slim ulate the growth the roots wers
watered. Soon the arched trunks which
bad become one trunk under skillful ma
nirulation, became as large around as a
mans arm. The upright trunk with the
strength of double any of it's rivals, also
rapidly thickened, and is now stout and
thick.
At the height of few feet the upright
trunk was permitted to branch out freely.
The question now is whether this one tree
has one, two or three trunks. One set of
roots gave rise to the upright trunk. Two
sets of roots are keeping it green and
thrifty.

so, and lay watching him and listening to
his faint rather sad song.
How almost inevitably we associate
human emotions with the songs of the
birds. The melodious carol of the gold
finch suggests nothing so much as the
sincerity and innocence of childhood. We
never catch in its liquid trill the full, rich
note of tender maturity that sounds in the

singing few days ago, perched upon a
dead twig that swayed in the wind, and
the song was veritable lyric of spring.
The little fellow sang all over. his tiny
throat swelling as though it would burst,
his wings lifting and milling, his whole
body quivering with the raptare of his
welcome to the sunlight and warmth and
the vivid, gold-touched green world that
surged all about him. It was such a

formance. Starting with q low, half
hesitant measure, as though the singer
were trying whether life itself would bear
him up; ascending in clear certainty until
it pauses for an instant on high, wild,
pure note that seems to touch heaven
itself; then down it sweeps with an out
pouring of transparent melody, to fall, a
rain of silvery notes, like tiny cataract
into little pool of silence.
1t is song that has its own measure of
serene joyousness, but blended with it is
. tragic note, high prophetic strain,
that makes its appeal more directly to
mans soul than does any other sound in
sylvan nature. Is it because the thrush is
the bird of quiet and solitude, singing,
lonely, in deep canyons and woods2 We
can hardly think of the creature as feeling
loneliness, and yet what quality in its
nature gives its song such penetrating
power and invests the bird itself with
such an air of serenity and visible, simple
dignity?
How can we know It is in hours of
loneliness when we hunger most for hui

kind, that the soul learns its own strength
and that other wisdom, that is in itself a
power to still. the knowledge of its own
weakness. Is the power of the hermit
thrush born as we'll of such knowledge !?
It is not really necessary that we should
know. The main thing is to listen to his
song simply, without reading into it too
much of 'the painful riddle of the earth, I"
which is after all man-made riddle.
