A Great Multitude Pays Tribute
to the Dead Philosopher.
100,000 VIEWED THE BODY
The Funeral Was the Largest Civic
Demonstration that Has Ever
Been Held in the United‘ States—
New York in Mourning.
New York, Nov. 1.—Without martial
display, but with all the honor and re-
spect that the living can show to the
dead, the funeral services were held
over Henry George yesterday. ‘It is
estimated that 10,000 men were in the
funeral procession. Almost all the
labor organizations in this city, Brook—
lyn, Jersey City and the suburbs, com-
prising in the aggregate some two hun-
dred thousand or more members. sent
delegations to represent them. Besides
these there were thousands of men
representing various civic organiza-
tions. Judging from ‘the estimates,
,the funeral was the largest civic
demonstration that has ever been held'
in the United States. Men conspicuous
in all walks of life were present, and
it was a thoroughly representative
American procession, in which men in
all stations in life and of every shade
of belief and opinion—joined.
At 5 o’clock yesterday morning Mr.
George’s body was taken from the
Union Square Hotel to the Grand Cen—
tral Palace. Five hundred policemen
wereon duty about the building. The
building was opened to the public at
7:45 o’clock in the morning, and all de-
siring were given an opportunity to
view the remains and pay their last
respects to the dead leader. The doors
remained open until 2 o’clock.
The crowds in the earlier morning
were comparatively small, but gradual-
ly increased, until, by 11 o’clock,
thousand-s were pouring into the build-
ing. The number passing in one hour
was estimated at 4,000. After 10
o’clock it became a crush, and people
were passing by the casket at the rate
of more than a hundred every minute.
There was no time to stop at the bier,
for there were many behind. The peo-
ple bent down for an instant, looked‘
at the white, calm face, and passed on.
And there were many who, perhaps,
had not- accepted the tenets of Henry
George,.but their reverence was none
the less sincere.
At 2 o’clock fully 90,000 persons had
bent over the casket. A remarkable
feature of the occasion was the num-
ber of children who were in line. Those
who were .too Small to see over the
edge of the casket were lifted up by
their parents and allowed to take a last
look at the remains.
At 2 o’clock the line of the,m0urning
fellow-citizens of Henry George Was
shut Off and none with ut tickets for
theexercises were admi d. '
The services over the remains were
held at 3 o’clock. The eulogists were
Rev. Dr. Edward 'McGlynn,,Rev. Heber
Newton, Rev. Dr. W. S. Rainsford,
Rev. Lyman Abbott and Bishop Henry
C. Potter. Dr. Heber Newton was the
officiating clergyman in the services.
He was Mr. George’s pastor.
Mr. George was an Episcopalian, but
dwarfed his orthodoxy to his belief in
the goodness of all men, irrespective of
creed. So it was but natural that
clergymen of every" denomination vol-,
unteered their services. Rev. Dr. Mc-
Glynn, than whom no man was closer
to Mr. George, delivered the chief eulo-'
gium. Mrs. George is a. Roman Cath-
olic.
Immediately after the funeral exer-"
cises the floor of the building was
cleared of seats, and the body lay in
state until 6.30 o’clock.
The funeral procession started from
the Grand Central Palace about 7
o’clock. Col. George E. Waring, Jr.,
was chief marshal and attended to the
military formation. .
A platoon of mounted police headed
the procession. The pallbearers were:
Tom L. Johnson, August Lewis, An-
drew McLean, Thomas G. Shearman,
Arthur McEwen, Louis F. Post, Jerome
O’Neil, Charles Frederic Adams.
The honorary pallbearers were Mayor
W. L. Strong of New York, Mayor
Frederick W. Wurster of Brooklyn,
Willis J. Abbott, Albert L. Johnson, ,
John P. Cranford, Charles W. Dayton,
George Cary Eggleston, Horace White,
Edward McHugh, Bolton Hall, John
Filmer, Charles O’Connor Hennessy,
H. Girdner, A. Van Deusen. John H.
Waters, M. R. Leverson, Frank Steph-
ens, Robert Schalkenbach. 1
The line of march was down Lexing-
ton avenue toForty—secondcstreet, to
Fifth avenue, to Broadway, to Cham-
bers street, to Centre street and the
bridge.
The casket rested on a black-covered
catafalque. The funeral car was drawn
by sixteen black Percheron stallions,
with a member of the guard of honor .
at the head of each. Behind the fu-
neral car followed the carriages of the ;
family and their immediate friends. l
There was music in the procession,
though -it was Sunday. The law for-
bids music at Sunday funerals unless
the funeral is conducted by a military,
a veteran or a secret society. The last
clause let the music in, as Mr. George
was en Odd Fellow.
In the same plot in Greenwood Come.
tery in which lies the body of his
daughter, Mrs. Atkinson, the remains
of Henry George were laid at rest.
The Interment To-day.
Brief and simple services were held
at 10.0’clock this morning at the fam-
ily residence on Shore road. Fort Ham—
ilton. The Rev. Mr. George and the
Rev. Mr. Latimer, of Philadelphia,
cousins of the deceased, both Episcopal
clergymen, officiated. The body was
carried to Greenwood and interred in
the family lot on Ocean Hill, looking
out on the Atlantic. Immediate neigh-
Lhe services.

Coming Changes in the Management of
the Pennsylvania Institutions.
Harrisburg, Nov. L—There will be
some important changes in the make-
up of the State commission having
charge of the soldieIs’ orphans’ schools
of the State about the middle of De-
cember. Capt. George‘ W. Skinner, the
United States pension agent at Pitts-
burg, will be elected Superintendent of
the Soldiers’. Orphans’ Industrial School
at Scotland, Franklin County, and in
order to accept the place will resign as
a member of the commission. Capt.
Skinner’s term as pension agent ex-
pired on Sept. 15, but he will not be
asked to step out until he has closed
the accounts for the year, about Dec.
15. There are several men who would
like his pension job, but it is almost
sure to go to Major John W. Nesbit,
the superintendent of the State Ar-
senal, who is a lieutenant of Senator
Quay in Alleghany County.
Nesbit was in danger of removal dur-
ing the recent resignation crusade at
the capital, but he was not disturbed,
because had he been summarily dis-
_missed his prompt appointment as pen-
sion agent would have been a feather
in his cap that would have been tan-
talizing to the State administration.
Nesbit will be succeeded as Superin-
tendent of the State Arsenal by Lieut.
William «P. Richardson, of Schuylkill
County, who is quartermaster of the
Eighth Regiment.
A meeting of the Soldiers’ Orphans’
Schools Commission will be held about
the middle of December, when the
changes indicated will take place. Col.
Frank Magee, of Wrightsville, one of
the inspectors of the schools, is at pres-
ent in charge of the Scotland Indus-
trial School as superintendent. Capt.
Skinner will take his place, and Major
John D. Patterson, of this city, will be
elected chief clerk of the commission,
to take the place of the late Joseph
Pomeroy. The retirement of Capt.
Skinner will leave three vacancies on
the commission, which will probably be
filled by the appointment of Adjt.-Gen.
Stewart.
GEORGE WORTH BUT $15,000.
Received Practically Nothing from
“Progress and. Poverty.”
New York, Nov. 1.——The only prop-
erty that stands as the accumulation
of the years of labor of Henry George
is the house and grounds at Fort Ham.-
ilton, where he passed the last year of
his life. This home is entirely paid for
and it stands in Mrs. George’s name.
It is worth about twelve thousand dol-
lars.
Henry George had in bank perhaps
fifteen hundred dollars more, and he
carried a small amount of life. insur-
ance. The whole amount of his estate
will not exceed $15,000.
There are in addition the copyrights
on all his books. The sale of “Progress
and Poverty” is said to have exceeded
any other book except "Robinson Cru-
soe” and “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” But
much of its circulation has been in for-
eign countries, and from this Mr.
George received no return except $225
for one English edition.
Mr. George’s interest in the promul-
gation of his principles led him to or—
der his publishers to distribute to
members of the labor unions thousands
of free copies of his books.
What is left for the support of Henry
George’s widow, then, is a comfortable
home, perhaps four thousand dollars
in money and the uncertain income
from the sale of his books. “Progress
and Poverty" had a sale of 1,000,000
copies in England. The Sterling Pub-
lication Company, of which Richard
George is the manager, is really the old
“Henry George & Co.” revived. This
company will continuo to handle the
books of the philosopher. An edition of
“Protection and Free Trade” has al-
ready reached a circulation of 200,000 in
this country.
THREE FRIEN—D—S FOR CUBA.
Filibaster Starts for Havana Towing
a Cargo of Cattle.
Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 1.—The
famous tug Three Friends left here: last
evening towing the schooner Hartley,
loaded with cattle for the Havana
market. She left the river amid the
booming of cannon, screaming of whis-
tles, and other salutes. The side of the
cruiser Versuvius was being crowded
with men and officers as she passed.
Back of this trip lies a rumor that
the Cuban Junta has sent the Three
Friends to Cuba in the hope that her
previous reputation may cause the
Spaniards to seize her and thus afford
an excuse for American men-of—war to
enter Havana harbor. Some time ago
United States Marshal McKay secured
a contract for carrying cattle from
Punta Rassa to Cuba. The quaran—
tine rules prevented any chance for
making money, and then he decided to
carry a cargo from this port. When
it was announced that the Three
Friends was to‘ tow the schooner the
captain of the Vesuvius was on the
watch at once, and he paid a visit to
the tug to ascertain how far she was
to tow the schooner. >
From private sources it is learned
that something is in the wind, and' that
the Cubans are waiting impatiently the
‘ result of this trip. If the Three Friends
is seized in Havana they reason that
the Government must interfere.
Counterfeits Better Ithan Genuine.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 1.—Counterteit
silver dollars of greater weight and
fineness than :those turned out from
Uncle Sam's mints are the latest in the
coinmaker's art, and St. Louis is the
first city to suffer from them. For- the
last week St. Louis bank tellers have
been accepting the counterfeits in
question without hesitation. It was
only when they reached the St. Louis
‘ Sub-Treasury that their spurious char-
acter was detected. ,
According to C01. Small the coins
weigh 131/,» grains more than the genu-
ine. Their fineness is 94 per cent., while
that of the genuine is but 90 per cent.

DO IT YOURSELF.
You can tell just as well as. a' physi-
cian whether your kidneys are dis-
eased or healthy. ' Theway to do is to
take a bottle or glass tumbler, and fill
it with urine. If there is a sediment—-
a powderlike substance—at the bottom
after standing 3. day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys.
Another sure sign of disease is a desire
to urinate often, and still another sign
is pain in the back. If urine j'istains
linen, there is no doubt that the kid-
neys are afl’ected. , ‘ »
Any and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sages and constipation of the bowels
are cured by Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy. There is no ques-
ti on about its being the best and surest
medicine in the world for such troubles.
It quickly relieves and cures inability
to hold urine, and people, young or old,
who take it are not compelled to get,
up a number of times during the night.
For putting an end to that scalding
pain experienced in passing urine,
nothing is so good as Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy. It corrects
the bad effects of whiskey and beer; is
pleasant to the taste, and, does not
seem to be medicine at all. Diseases
of the kidneys and bladder often re-
quire the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine Can
be avoided. In such cases, Favorite
Remedy should be taken without fur- '
ther delay or the disease may prove
fatal. It is sold for one dollar a bottle
at all drug stores. It is well worth
many times its price. . '
