HIS ESTATE NOT LARGE.
Henry George Too Liberal to Accumulate
Wealth.

New York. Nov. Henry Georges
widow has not been left penniless, al
though the amount of the estate left by
the dead philosopher is very small when
the enormous sale of his books is taken
into consideration.
With Henry George the accumulation
of wealth was the last thing he thought
of He was a loving husband and a
kind and generous father, but his SYM
pathies were rot alone for those of his
own kin. The whole world claimed him
as brother and he felt the obligation.
The result was that he was often more
generous than his circumstances war
ranted. Suffering was one of the things
he could not see without doing every
thing in his power to alleviate it.
If Henry George had made no more
favorable arrangements with his. pub
fishers than many a mediocre writer
can make his income from his writings
would easily have amounted to many
thousands of dollars each year. With an
international COPYRIGHT law he would
have become almost q millionaire.

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. 29.-Unless the death

Henry George, Jr.. and Miss Marie
Hitch of Chicago will be married on next
Thanksgiving day. Miss Hitch today re-

Jr. notifying her of his fathers death
She denied the report that Mr.. George
had asked for a poStponement, and I'M
less her fiance should later make such a
request the ceremony will take place III
Chicago on the date originally agreed
upon.
The love affair of the young couple is
somewhat romantic. They met in Chica-
20 the summer of the Worlds fair
though old acquaintance existed between
during the exposition and correspondent
after Mr.. Georges return to New York.
During the last presidential campaign
young George again came west with his
father.
Miss Hitch was the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. George at their summer home last
August and it was there that the en-
gagement was made.

TRIPLE SEALING AGREEMENT.
Russia, Japan and United States Come to
an Understanding.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 29-It is said
the conference between Russia, Japan
and the United States now proceeding
here in reference to sealing in the Behr-
ing sea and the North Pacific, has adj
vanced to an important stage, and that a
proposition has been reduced to writing,
which, if accepted, will bring about Il
complete change in the sealing question.
The proposition is said to be acceptable
to the United States. 1t is understood to
be acceptable similarly to the Russian
delegates now here, but in view of the re-
strictions placed upon them by their ere
dentials, it has been thought desirable to
cable to st. Petersburg for final instruc-
tons. The japanese delegates are I'M
derstood to have felt at first that the
proposition would not be in their interest,
but on fuller conference, Mr. Fujita deter
mined to cable the substance of the prOpO-
sition to his government, accompanying it
with a recommendation of it's acceptance.

might have been larger but for the fact

STAMPMILL AT BARAGA.
Copper Ore May be Brought Thirty Mile
for Treatment


Baraga,, Mich. Nov. 1.I[Special. AL
though Baraga is thirty miles from the
nearest copper mine, a bold attempt is
being made by Col. Coach, Frank Mes
ter and other leading citizens to accom-
plish nothing less than the location here
of big copper stampmill. The Frank
lin Mining company is the only corpora
ton which has stampmill still in opera

once had their mills The government
compelled the mills to vacate because
they were filling the channel with sand
from their stamps. The Franklin mill
has sand room for several years to come.
but owing. to the development of the
Franklin Junior. which bids fair to be-
come much larger and richer mine
than the old Franklin ever was. the old
MILL which has but three stamps. is in
adequate for the treatment Of anything
like the full production of both mines:
the federal authorities object to adding
to the facilities of the present mill, hence
it is but a matter of year or two be-
fore the Franklin must seek another mill
site. Although Baraga is thirty miles
distant from the mine the D., S. s. & A
railway will make very low rail rate
and the rock could easily be brought
here. as the roadbed between Baraga and
BOughtOn follows the level of the lake
and is much more level than the average
floor for the entire distance. A free mill
site is offered here. and it need surprise
nobody If Baraga is stamping copper rock

crimes, such as levying blackmail upon
city contractors and aspirants for office,
should he be elected mayor.
His candidacy gave to the coming cleo
ton its greatest element of uncertainty,
for according to expert politicians it was
practically impossible to estimate how
much of Bryan'S vote of last year would
go to George instead of Van Wyck.
Last night Mr.. George spoke in the
borough of Queens and later in the bor-
ough of Manhattan at the Central Opera
house. He was greeted by large and
enthusiastic crowds everywhere.

In one Of his last nights speeches. Mr..
George said: Il have labored for years
to make myself known, and now at last
these things are all written down. | be-
lieve that all the needed reforms are
summed up in the philosophy: The right
of every man to eat, to drink, to speak,
as he sees fit, SO long as he does not
trench on the rights of other men,"
Later in the same speech he repeated
his threats against Mr.. Croker in a ring
ing voice that greatly affected his hearers,
saying: Let him go to the penitentiary
He shall go there.
Mrs. George accompanied her husband
on most of his speech-making trips. and
she was with him last night.

Newspaper men who have been part
of the George campaign have felt that
he was undergoing strain which was

Mrs. George and Henry George, Jr.,
have been solictous regarding the effect
of the terrible strain of his being bundled
about from place to place each day and
far into the night and making speeches
before wildly enthusiastic gatherings of
his admirers, and it has been noted again
and again that his faithful wife sat be-

which he spoke. or watched closely from

PERISH IN A NINE.
Fire in the Vanstorch Slope Of a
Mine at Scranton, Pa, Causes
Fatalities.
WATERFOWL. WIS.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 30.-Five of the
Fight men who were last night caught in
the Fanstorch slope by fire in that shaft,
persisted during the night. The remaining
three escaped from the diamond vein by
a cross-heading into another gargway,
where the air was pure, and reached the
surface early this morning.
The dead are:
THOMAS HILL, foreman night shift;
married; leaves widow and five children.
THOMAS MDONALD, laborer; WidoWer;
three children.
JOHN YANKOWsKI, laborer; married.
JOHN MORAN, tracklayer; single.
JOHN J. FARRELL, pumpman; single.
The bodies of the FIVE men were
brought to the surface about 10 o'clock.
When the fire broke out in the main
gangway of the slope there were twenty
eight men and boys in the mine. Ten
left the mine before the fire really got
start and ten others made their way
to the hosting shaft and were brought
TO the surface before the fire and smoke
had cut off their means of escape.
When it became known about 80 this
morning that eight men and boys were
still in the miro, hundreds of citizens
Hooked to the mouth of the slope. Charles
Slemler, superintendent of the mine, and
a number of the miners started down
the slope to attempt to rescue the men.
They were driven back. however by the
smoke and forced TO return to the sur
face.
The city fremen, with double line of
hose, then went into the slope to extin-
guish the flames. They had a thrilling
experience, and narrowly escaped suffoca-
Ion, one OF their number being brought to
the surface unconscious. The men had
descended about 210 feet, when suddenly
the air current changed. The smoke was
forced toward the mouth of the slope, and
the rescuers had to drop the hose and
run for their lives. Councilman Patrick
Gordon, who was member of the party
when within twenty-five feet of the OPEN
ing, sank exhausted. Several of the men
volunteered to rescue him, and he was
found unconscious. but later recovered
At about o'clock the firemen had sue
ceeded in getting the fire under control
AS soon as this had been accomplished
the resculng party entered the mine and
found the five men dead from suffocation.
The fire broke out about l o'clock this
morning at Il point 300 feet from the
mouth of the shaft but the origin is not
known.
