LAID AWAY TO REST.
REMAINS OF HENRY GEORGE
BURIED IN GREENWOOD.
Ward Beecher-Short and Impress
sive Funeral Seryices-Tribntesb by
DIR. kramer and Rev. DIR. McGlynn.

NEW YORK, Nov. AFTER a simple
and short funeral service. the body of
Henry George was finally laid to rest in
Greenwood cemetery today. Only a few
persons were present at the family resi-
dence. The ceremonies today were the
antithesis of yesterday. In the home over
looking the narrow street where Mr..
George lived and worked there was no
trace of mourning. In compliance with
the expressed wishes OF the dead man.
every trace of mourning had been re-
moved from the house.
Rev. DIT. Kramer. OF Bath Beach, con-
Quoted the funeral service. After reading
part Of the Episcopal service. DIR. Kramer
paid touching tribute TO Mr.. George.
He alluded to the fact that today was All
Saints day. and therefore n fitting ocea-
sion to commit the remains of Henry
George, one Of the latter day Christians
10 his grave. DR.. Kramer testified TO the
personal religion Of Mr.. George. The
power Of religion In social problems was
listened to by a man who was talking to
Mr. George. With flashing eye, Mr.. George
said:
IF religion be nothing more than you
think IL 10 be. our cause is lost. because
unless there is reality In religion and We
can appeal through Il to humanity. We
shall never get back Gods land for Gods
poor children"
by ALL Rev. DIR. MeGiynn also paid per-
sonal tribute 10 the departed. He said IL
seemed as though they were standing bS
the triumphant car Of some Roman hero
rather than by the bier Of a dead phil9s0-
pher, and ended by declaring that Henry
George and the cause he espoused We're
more alive than ever today in the hearts
OF Democracy.
For about ten minutes after the eonclu-
sion OF the exercises opportunity was Of
fered in the house to take n last look at
the body in the coffin.
Just after II o'clock the coffin was
closed. taken out into the rain. and placed
in the hearse. Only members of the fam
iiy and intimate friends accompanied the
remains 10 the cemetery. The services AZ
the grave were very short, being simply
the burial service OF the Episcopal church.
Besides the family of Mr.. George. there
were present about go people.
The grave, which IS situated on a blum
IN beautiful part OF Greenwood Is quite
close TO the tomb Of Henry Ward Beecher.
Near al hand is also the grave OF Mrs.
Benjamin F. Tracy

MINISTER sIFToN RETURNS.
Reports ChiIkoot Pass the Better and
Discredffs Starvation.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 1.-The Do
ninion steamer Qaadra arrived back az
Vancouver tonight from Skaguay and
Dyea with Minister OF the Interior Sif-
tons party on board The Quadra lett
here at the beginning OF OCTOBER with
Maj. Walsh. administrator or Yukon,
and party. and Minister Sifton. The oh
1ect of Sifton's trip was 70 examine into
the various routes into the Yukon, and
ascertain which is the most feasible
Sifton Travelled over both trails. and SAYS
that though both are IN very bad condi-
ton at the present time, the Chilkoot is
undoubtedly the better of the two.
The weather was very bad, rain or
snow being experienced all the time. while
at the end of the pass there has been
very heavy snowfall. SIfton accompanied
Mai Walsh a considerable distance on
his Journey across the lakes, and when
they parted company Maj. Walsh was
making good progress and would undoubt
eddy be able to reach Dawson City.
Regarding the reports OF starvation AZ
Dawson City. Sifton stated that the latest
advices received by him were to the eff
feet that there would be enough provi-
sions to last till spring. On his arrival
there, however. Maj. Walsh viii make a
report on the situation and forward the
same to the Dominion government, who
will then be in a position to know whether
provisions will have TO be sent In. On
the journey down the Quadra stopped at
Wrangel, and Sifton went Up the Stickeen
river some fifty miles, but as he did not
go any further he could not express an
opinion as TO this route.
No mishaps occurred 10 any OF the party
during the trip. Just before his depart
ure msager details were brought down
of some more rich strikes on creeks near
Dawson City.
Sifton goes tomorrow to Victoria. and
from there win return here, remaining
day in Vancouver before proceeding East.
II is probable that on his homewa-d
Journey Sifton viii stay over at Ashcroft
or Kamloops and investigate into the pro-
posed overland route

Capt. Johnson could at no time discern

may have been the schooner Janus. which
left here September Is, with a party Of
twelve California men on board. bound

70 have been in that vicinity about that
