Among tnose present were: J b Jeroiman, president of the Board of | Aldermen; Mayor Patrick Glea on ot Long Is and Ciy, E. M. Grout, Nathan Strauss, Sheriff Tamsen and Oscar Strauss. The exercises began at 3:25 with the singing of tue hymn ‘*Lead, Kindly Lignt” by the Plymouth Church quartet. Rev. Dr. Hever Newton, who was Mr. George’'s warm personal friend as well as pastor, read the burial service. Dr. Newton did not wear his prestly robes and be bad no reading desk. The service was, therefore, in a way, entirely in- formal, there being also no responses. I | was, however, the regular burial service o! the Episcopai ch . The oniy music rendered in connection with iL Wwas the ch:niing of the Lord’s prayer. At the conclusion of the burial service Dr. Liymon Abbott spoke briefly upon the character and public services ot Henry George. Dr. Abbott spoke in his customary man- ner, calm, critical and judicious, yet with much -arnestness. He avoided anything like extreme eulogy and especially as re- gards Mr. George's political teachings, but his praise for him asa man hid no boungs. He began with the statement that those who agreed in part and disaggeea 1n part with Henry George, and even those who disagreed al- most entirely witn him, couid unite in the expression of their admiration for his character and their love for him as a man, “What is it to follow Christ?” asked Dr. Abbolt. “Isitnot to show the spirit of C .rist himself? No one, 1 think, was an- imated more clearly by his spirit. Noone more faithfully foliowed his statements 5 | whicn this brave man has cast his | fest | thoughts were ever for Libarty, jusiice and | ana conflict means passion, and pass here to mourn. Many men try to follow bim; more, I think, than in any previous age.” Dr. Abbot: also spoke in highest praise | of the intellectual side of Henry George. He said Mr. George's mastery of the Engiish lasguage, his ability to put things into the most forceable possible wayand hisgenius for arousing enthusiasm would have placed bim in almost any position in publ.c life if ne had been con- tent to be merely a politician. But he | was not a self-seeking man. In fact, the speakersaid, he had never meta man who gave s0 little thought as to the effect upon himself and his own fortunes, of Lis public utterances as Mr. George. He was a man of unflinching courage and he had an unquestioning faith that there is a good Goa, who does not design his children to livein degrada- tion and wretchedness. To do something to lift God’s children to a better piane had been thie object of Henry George's life. Rabul Gottheil spoke next, saying: “Before the civic contest is decided, in life, death has t his irrevocable vote in favor of him and crowned him victor in the race for a crown that outshines and will outlast the transient triumphs of the coming battie. Itisarace for a worthy manhood aud a banefactor ot his kind. “Friend and foe stand side by side in reverent awe by his lif:less frame. In sealing his lips forever, death opens those of myriads to speak his praise and mani- their gratitude to the man whose humanity. *‘He advocated a social order in which every woiler shall be sure of hisdue re- ward d poverty and degradation shall be unknown. A wail of grief is heard from ail ts of the country, and once more the old Habrew maxim is confirmed: ‘The truly wise are greater in their vesth tban in their lives.’ Liie means conflict on obscures our eyes and clouds our vision. It drags the bravest und the pest into the tumuit of the common war cries and they Iaust ever stoop to things which but for tie stress of the hour they would keep far irom themselves. Butwhen the smoke of the batt.e-field has cleared away and the shots of armies are husned, then the failen hero lies in the fullness of the stature and enables us to measure his greatness truly.”’ Alter another hymn by the choir Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn spoke. Prior to his | address the vastassemblage had preserved a church-like quiet, but ihe ringing words of Dr. McGlynn soon evoked an appiause which could not be repressed. Dr. Mc- Glynn spoke with great ieeling, but his evident grie! at the loss of his old friend did not prevent the display of some char- acteristic flights of eloquence by bim. Dr. McGiynn said: “The place where we meet here this aft- ernocon 1s not one dedicated to religion or 0 tie service of God, but hzs generally been used for purposes of recreation or of amusement, or of art. It bad to-day been maae sacred, and we meet here upon holy ground snd stand asbameu in the pres | ence o a message directed to us from the throne of God. It is no ordinary mes-a-e. That messenger of death hus brought to our hearts that which has immeasurably suocked us. “We stand upon ground that is made sacred by the remains of 4 man who was raised from among us by our Father in Heaven to spread the messages of truth and righteousness and justice and peace to all. He died in asirugglefor the cause o! humanity, and especially that o! New York, vut it was altogether too small for his broad mind and indomitable courage. “‘He was,” said Father McGlynn, *'s.m- ply a seer, a prophet, a iorerunuer sen by God, and we can say in all reverence aud in the words of the Scripture: ‘I'here was a man sent from God whose name was John. He was sent to bear witness of the iighi.’ “I believe I am not guilty of any profa- nation of the sacred Scriptures when1say tiere wasa man sent from God and his name was Henry George.” Dr. McGiyan was here interrupted by applause throughout the hali and seemed deeply affected. He alluded to the touch- ing eulogy bastowed upon Henry George by Dr. Avbott as expressing what he thought of him as a friend and brother. “Henry George's gentle heart,” the ora- tor , “'was ready to break because he saw that nothing came from the professors | of the schools of political economy which could improve the condition of the people, because the knowledge of those econo- mists was hardly to be considered within the bounds of science at all. Truly, it was designed by Providence to raise un | such a man before the world to expose tLe fallacy ana tha in justice of their reasoning. “Whnerever word has gone that Henry George is dead, bis teachings live and his voice is heard thouzh he Liesstillin death. His works have been read throughout the world, and 1n every language known in the aniverse George speaks 1o all humanity.” John 8. Crosby, who has been ore of the most active campaigners for George, was the last speaker and the only layman who spoke. His address dealt more with the duty of the present, in accordance with the principles laid down by Henry Genrge, rather than with mere eulogy of the dead teacher, ani evoked applause even more energet'c, perhaps, than the remarks of Dr. McGlynn. The lest address was concluded shortly after 5 o’clock, and the meeting was dis- missed with directions from a member of tue committee as to the manner of dis- missal frem the nail. Nearly all of those pre-ent 100k advantage of the opportuniry offered 10 view the face of Henry George, and tne march past his coffin was con- tinued as it had bsen in prosress during the day. Lo MUCH WEEPING ALONG THE ROUTE Sad Scenes During the Procession Which Accomp nied the Re- mains ‘o erooklyn NEW YORK. Oct. 3L—The procession which accompanied the remains to Brook- lyn was in many respects the most re- markable ever witnessed in New York. The catafalque was a magnificent creation of black broadcloth, and at the base was tweive feet wide. There were five steps leading to the top. The horses, of jet black, were covered with black silk mourn- ing, and were led by sixteen grooms. The only emblem on the top of the casket was asmall white wreath. The organizations that paid honor to Mr. George by foliowing the funeral cars fell into line from the side streets off Mad- son avenue and below Forty-second street. There was some disappointment in the small number of followers, and it was conservatively estimated that when the party passed Thirty-iourth street or Mad- ison avenue there were less than 2500 men ic line. There were marks of respect ail along the line. Bared heads were the rule on both sides of the street and many men and women were noticed to be crying. When the open space in front of the hotels on Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth streeis was reachea there was an enorm- ous crowd, There werea number of old men who seemed to be greatly interested, for they stood with bared heads from the time the police appeared until nearly all the procession had passed them. When the south side of Union Square was reached the band that had preceded the catafalque fell out of iine and, taking a stand on the sidewalk, played a dirge while the remainder of the procession passed. It was 8 o’clock when the head of the column rounded into Broadway again at Fourteenth street. An expectant crowd of George worshipers flanked Broadway at Canal sireet, where it was also noticed that there was much weeping. The procession from that point to City Hall -Park was without incident, save for a repetition of the scenes of grief which had been manifested along the eatire route. Simple private services will be held at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning at the family residence. Revs. George and Lat- timer of Phil, Iphia, cousins of the de- ceased and both Episcopal clergymen, will officiate. Tbe body will be carried to Greenwood to be interred in the family lot on Ocean Hill, looking out on the Atlantic. s MOURN THEIR LEADER’S LOSS Noted Single-Tax Advocates Hold a Touching Memorial Meeting In Metropolitan Temple. Although the Henry George memorial meeting at Metropolitan Hall yesterday afternoon was intended as merely a pre- liminary to a more complete demonstra- tion to be held at the same place next Sunday, it is doubtful if at the larger regret expressed at the loss of a noble leader than at the one held yesterday. The assemblage was called together in order that memorial services might be neld by hLis host of friends here at the place in New York City, and the sad faces of the audience and the tears in the eyes of the speakers as they recounted the many virtues and the nobie lLif: of the deceased attested the fact that they real- ized they were virtually taking part in the last sad rites of one they loved. President Manzer of the Single-Tax So- ciety, uuder whose suspices the meeting was held, presided, and in a brief speech announced the object of the meeting. “‘We are assembled,” he said, *to pay our respects to a man who loved bumanity. He has fallen like a hero battling for righis as he saw them, but his memory sball live as long as civilization. This meeting is simply preliminary to more elaboiate sarvices to be held next Sunday, when eulogies may be spoken; ovut to-day will be given spontaneously voluntary who were intimately associated with him in the earlier years when he first began his battle for right. Miss McClosky, a cousin of Henry George, who knew him in his later years, sang with great pathos, ‘‘Fiee as a Bird.” The lady wasa great favorite with her cousin, who loved music and enjoyed her simplesongs. As she finished bLer song she was overcome by her feelings and her evident grief greatly aff -cted the audience, many of whom were moved to tears. Congressman James G. Maguire spoke of the last time he saw Henry George and recalled some personal reminiscences of the deceased. ‘‘He kuew that his physi- cal strength *was failing when he went into the campaign and he must have known the danger to his life, bu. he went in with the spirit of a martyr and died in ti.e shock of one of the greatest political battles ever seen in this or any other country. He has left a legacy and principle 1o his writings and be died Lolding aloft 1he standard he raised here in this nall years ago. Thatstandard has been taken up by other hands and he will still , growing grander as the years go by.” murks was checked by the chairman, who questioned the adv sability of such demostrations on an occasion of this kind, though the eloguent words of praise for Henry George, he admitied, were such as mignt well incite the hearers 10 en- thusiasm. Jos2ph Leggeit followed Mr. Maguire. Hesaid: *‘On March 26, 1878 i< > hall was delivered the first n essag? him whose voice is siilled for ver and I '»d the pleasure of nearing L. .. cn as well as later when he became famous a. «r th publication of ‘Progressand Poverty.’ am pleased to have tae privilege to pay a tribute to-day to my old teacher. Henry George’s was one of the most complete and periect lives ever lived. He died fighting for right, trath and principle. During Lis life he made more crue Christians than all the churches and min- isters put together. He was a man of peace and did more toward maintaining the peace of the worid than ail the crowned heads and the armies in the worid.” Judge Robert Ferral, who nineteen years ago was associated with Henry George in the publication of the Post in this city, said: “We wno knew him well love. bhim most. He was a man innocent of all wrong molives himself, and he was simple in s faith in humanily. Whoen he was with us years ago little did we think that when life had gone back to Him who gave it Henry George would be mourned by the whole world. Tnough he is dead, niz writings live atter him and will con- tinue to lLive long after all of us are gone. any church. but I know that he had an intense belief in & merci‘ul and just God. He might weil have ‘said, *The world i my country, to do good my religion. His big heart went out to suffering hu- manity. He was the noblest champion of God and humanity known to the buman race.” “I have lost a friend in Henry George,” said P. J. Healey. “and am too sad to say anything. He wasa man who came from the poor and worked for ihem. His mis- sion on earth was not much less sacred than that of Christ. We who knew him and lovea him are bowed down with grief, and you who did not know him share it with us.” James H. Barry said: “Thue re- marks made here to-day by these Iriends of the late Henry George are the sincere outpourings of sincere hearts. He who has gone has done more for humanity than any one since the gentle Nazarine came on earth to save men. He would sacrifice anything for the sake of human- itv. We to-day mourn wiih his family in their desol ition over the loss of their be- loved who has gone, but not forever, for he ives in his deeds, his works and his burning words, He lies low, but he lives hign. He now iooks down anl b esses humaniry, for which he sacriticed his life. In a recent letter to a friend b for the principles he advocated gladly sacrifice his life, and he has done o. He lived grandly and died glori- ou-ly.” At the concldsion of Mr. Barry’s re- marks friends in the audience were asked to speak, if they desired, and several availed themseives of the opportunity to pay their tribute to the departed, after which President Manzer closed the serv- ices with a few words which were para- mount to & benedliction.

SERIES OF GAMES IN THE INTERIOR. Promised Exnibitlon for Charity in Which Thera WIll Be N> Rake-Off. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL. HUMBOLDT, Nev., Oct. 3L.-—Manager William Barnie of the Brooklyn baseball team and J. Frank Eline, 8 prominent Estern theatrical manager, passed through here to-night en route to San Francisco. Mr. Barnie has charge of the Baltimore club and Mr. Eline represents the All-Americas, botb of which teamsare to play a series of games at the Eighth and Harrison-street grounds in San Fran- cisco. To THE CALL correspondent Mr. Barnie said: “Both of our teams are in splendid fettle and have been playing great ball. They play to-day in Denver, and go thence to Salt Lake, arriving in San Fran- cisco in time to play the opening game next Sunday. The teams are composed of the best players in the league, and we propose to show San Francisco baseball enthusiasts how the game can be played. Our idea is to play probanly ten games in San Francisco to start with; then either the All-Americas or the Baitimores will be taken to some of the interior towns to play local clubs, leaving the other team in San Francisco to piay games with the best clubs there. When the ciub we send to the interior returns to San Francisco the one which has been playing in dan Francisco will be taken into the interior to play local clubs and the club just re- turned w.ll play the San Francisco clubs. “Before we return East we will take both of our teams through the State to play together. By this arrangement Cali- fornia lovers of baseball will be enabled to form an idea of the relative merits of our clubs as well as Lheir superiority over Cali- fornia ciubs, We shall probably remain in California most of the winter.” Out of deference to the promoters of the football game to be played in San Fran- cisco on Thanksgiving day no baseball will be played there on that day. One of the clubs will play the Gilt Edges at Bac- ramento and the otber will probably go to Fresno to play the Fresno Republicans. Mr. Barnie stated that ‘he representa- tives and promoters of what he now un- derstands is termed vellow baseball in San Francisco have tried to dissnade Mr. Eline and himself from bringing their players to the Pacific Coast, but after the Eighth and Harrison street grounds were secured they were ready to off:r any con- oessions 10 them, cven sugeesting that they call at the New York Journal «ffice and consult wi h a representative of the Examiner, who was then there on a busi- ness trip. Mr. Barnie says that soon after he ar- rives in San Francisco he will perfect ar- rangements to play one game in aid of charity. He could not give the fuli de- tails until afier he bad conferred with tue owners of the Eighth and Harrison streets grounds, but there is one thing that he is vor{ emphatic about. That is: Charity will receive the entire gate receipts on that day. There will pe po silent partners, no percentage for yellow journaliam and no “ruke-off”” for anybody. ———— STOCKTON 1AKES THE LEAD.

The betting was limited to Obio. Odds were given on the Repubtican State ticket, but the offers of even money on the Legisla- ture were not wanted. oa the fusion ticket in Hamilton County, but the betting was mostly even. The betting fraternity is carefully reviewing the fizures of former years as well as politicni conditions. ‘The Republicans are counting on_gains in the rural districts, where prosperity has resumed, more than in t.e towns. The Democrats claim they will hold the rural vote and win out on the c.anges in the cities. BALTIMORE, Oct. 31 —The voters of Maryiand will on Tuesday next elect a State Comptroller, a clerk of the Court of Avppeals and a new Legislature, which in turn will choose a successor to United States Sanator Gorman. In the city of Battimore a Mayorand a new council wiil be cnosen. The cam- paign, which has been unusually bitter, closed last night with mass-meetings all along the line, and nothing now remains but to cast and count the votes. The State offices to be filled are unimportant, the main interest centering in the legisi tive contest. It the Democrats win Sena- tor Gorman will doubtiess be chosen for another term, while if the Republicans are victorious there will provably be a sharp fight for the seat among the aspir- ants, with the chances slightly 1n favor of the selection of Congressman Mudd. As to the outcome of the coming elec- tion it can only be said that the result is in great doubt, though both sides claim 10 gu able to count enough votes in the Legslature to secure 2 majority on joint ballot and to elect the United States Sena- tor. The Republicans nave a slight ad- vantage in that of the thirteen hold-over State Senators nine are Republicans, SALT LAKE, Urag, Oct. 8L.—On Tues- day w:ll occur one of the most peculiar muaicipal elections ever beld in Salt Lake. There are five tickets in the field—~Repub- lican, Democratic, Populist, Social-Labor | and Non-Partisan. The latter ticket was nominated by a few prominent busin men, who claim they were anim-tled simply with the de- sire to put in office men who would re- duce the present excessive tax rate under which Salt Lake is suffering, but there are those wro see in the movement a scheme of the Mormon church leaders to once again obta.n political control of the State of Utah, which they had partially lost when the division of party lines came. Asa result, the outcome on Tuesday is being watched with great interest, as it is | believed by many that1f the movement is succe-sful a non-pariisan or a ‘‘cit zens' movement’’ will be inaugurated with the intention of obtaining control of the next Legisiature, which wouid mean, it is believed, absolute control by the Mormon church of the State.
