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 jMonrning.
_ew York, Nomi—Without martial
di’ lay, but with all the honor and re-
‘épect that. the living can show to the
death. 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-
prisingsin 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.
('leorge’s body was taken frOm the
Union Square Hotel to the Grand Cen-
tral Palace. Five hundred policemen
were on 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,
thousands 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 mourning
fellow-citizens of Henry George was
shut Off and none without tickets for
the exercises were admitted.
The s' vices over the remains were
held at O’clock. The eulogists were
Rev. Dr. Edward McGiynn, 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
thehrocession. The pallbearers were:
Tom. L. Johnson, August Lewis, An-
drew McLean, Thomas G. Shearman,
'Arthur-McEwen, Louis "F. Post, Jerome
OiNieIl‘, 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,
John Swinton, E. Lawson Purdy, John
H. Girdner, A. Van; Deusen, John H.
Waters, M. R. Leverson, Frank Steph-
ens, Robert Schaikenbach.
The line of march was down Lexing-
ton avenue to Forty—second street, to
Fifth. avenue, to Broadway, to Cham-
bers street, to Centre street and the
bridge.
The casketrested on a black-covered
catatalqueaTiie—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.
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 an Odd Fellow.
In the same plot in Greenwood Ceme-
tery in which lies the body of his
daughter, Mrs. Atkinson, the remains
of Henry George were laid at rest.
~ The Interment To-duy.
Brief and simple services were held
at 10 o’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
clergyman, officiated. The body was
carried to Greenwood and, interred in
the family lot on Ocean Hill, looking
out on the Atlantic. Immediate neigh-
bors of the family were admitted to
the services. ‘

The Words that Carry
Weight in Notvvalk Are
from Norwalk People.
When anything that. promises relief
is offered you, the first thing you wish
to know is if it ever helped anyone else;
and the, amount of faith you will have
in trying it will depend upon the relia- ,
bility of the testimony Oifered in its
behalf. When this is from remot
strangers, way beyond the reach Of you“
consultation, doubts may remain; bu
when it comes from dismterested Nor-
walk people, whom you can consult at
any time, its reliability is apparent; its
truth not to be doubted. And the tes-
timony of N orwalk people, and of prom-
inent people among them, is united in
declaring that California Catarrh Cure
cures catarrh, that it removes all traces
of this persistent and humiliating dis-
ease. Note the words Of a man you
know you can believe:
Mr. D. C. Croft, 11 East avenue, East
Norwalk, after sufie’ring with catarrh
fOr years, tells of his relief as follows:
“I find that California Catarrh Cure
has relieved me very much. It. keeps
my head and throat much clearer than
they had been for a long time, and the
relief is wonderful. Anyone suffering
from catarrh in any form will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It re-
lieves at once, and I believe the relief is
permanent.” . " .

"' SOEDIER'S":ORPFI‘A~NS SC-H 001.3
Coming Changes in the Management of
the Pennsylvania Illhull’l‘lT-lnllrl.
Harrisburg, Nov. 1.——There will. be
some important changes in the make—
up Of the State commission having
charge of the soldiers' 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 hiajor 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-
Iars.
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 continue 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-
