TESTIMONIAL FROM EMPLOYES I An Interesting Story on the Career of One of the Most Prominent ana Popular Manufacturers of the Anthra cite Region A Man of the People, The nomination of HlesterSr Albright for Sheriff by the Republicans was eminently wise. It was wile for many reasons. Among them we may enumerate some, while others will suggest themselves to thoso who are famllar with tho circumstances and with the candidate. The people have already de clared thomselvos In favor of business methods in all Administrative oilicos. Such a position Is that of tho office of tho Sheriff. The citizens of Schuylkill county want a com petent and capable man to wear tho mantle of Sheriff Scott when ho rctlrte from office, the duties of which he has so well discharged with honor to himsolf and a credit to tho Republican party. Tho Office of Sheriff is ono in which tho intricacies of its adminis trations aro numerous. To dlschargo them faithfully and well It is required to havo an incumbent who will bring with him special acquirements, tho result of thorough business training. Such a man is Iliestcr S. Albright. Ills wonderful success in tho business he is engaged In is one strong corroboration of the statement that ho has the qualifications In a great degreo to perform the duties of that office with dispatch with fidelity to tho people and according to business methods. lltKBTER B.

Wilson, in reference to tho charge that a juryman had been tampered with in tho famous O'Neill-West Mahanoy township Suhool Board libel suit.

New York, Oot. 30. Henry George, author of "Progress and Poverty" and candidate of the Thomas Jefferson De mocracy for mayor of New York, died at 4:60 o'clock yesterday morning in the Union Square hotel of cerebral apoplexy. In his great Cooper Union speech accepting the nomination for mayor, lees than a month ago, he said: I'll mako this race If It- costs my life. This Is a call to duty, and as a good citizen I have no right to disre gard It on account of mere personal consideration." True to his word, Henry George, apostle of the rights of man, died as he wished to die In harness, fighting for the cause toward the close of the greatest municipal political contest the world has ever seen. Tho end was HENRY GEOrtGE. peaceful, and he died without pain. This man of mighty brain and un daunted courage was physically frail, and the strain of an exciting campaign requiring speechmaking at points many miles apart, night after night, was more than he could stand. He kept up to the end, and only a few hours be fore the dread messenger cried halt Henry George had addressed enthusi astic audiences in three of the towns ot the borough of Queens and a still larger assemblage in an uptown hall here. The Itev. Edward McGlynn reached the Union Square hotel shortly before 11 o clock. At the hotel he was met by Henry. George, Jr. When- he was taken Into the room where his friend lay dead he burst into tears. The scene was a distressing one. Afterward Dr. McGlynn said: "Henry George died as Abraham Lincoln died. Lincoln was assassi nated Just after his great work of saving the union was consummated. Henry George was struck down by fate In the zenith of his powers. But tlio great work that he inaugurated will go on. As a man and a iihllosopjier it win be long uerore ins like will bo, seen again. His goodness tind gentle ness singled him out among all men, and, with others, I almost worshipped him." After the news of Mr. George's death had been flashed over the .city and country messages and telegrams of sympathy began to pour In upon the bereaved widow .and the party man agera from all sections. Among the first to tender expressions of sym pathy were his opponents for the mayoralty campaign. Then came expressions ,of opinion as to the effect that the death would have upon the mayoralty canvass, and the friends of each candidate declared that the bulk of the George vote would go to their man. The Jefforgonlan Democ racy, however, promptly placed In nomination the son iT the dead leader, Henry George, Jr. The young man has accepted, and the name of Henry George will still head the column of that party on the ballots next Tuesday. It le not probable, however, that the full party vote will be cast for Its nominees, now that that great leader himself has been' withdrawn from the contest by death. The followers of Seth Low point to the fact that K.r. Low was Henry ueorge'a secand choice, and have flood e4 the city with extracts from Mr. George's speech in Liberty street on Tuesday last, In the course ef which Mr. George said: "Low would strike at boIsm.

From sunrise till sunset tomorrow the body -of Henry George will lie in State In the Grand Central Palace. Ushers will be present to direct the people In their passage before the pla form upon which the body will resi. During the afternoon, between 2 and :t o'clock, the funeral services and ora tloiu will take place. The funeral car will start from the Grand Central I'm ace at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening an l proceed via the Brooklyn bridge to th 'Brooklyn city hall. In this infornml procession every friend and admirer ! of Henry George Is Invited to take part. The committee desires that no torches or transparencies be displayed. Ban ners without mottos designating the organisations may be carried. A guard of honor, composed of prominent George men, will watch the dead body until Its interment". The 'World has opened a fund for the erection of a memorial to Henry George. Joseph Pulltaer subscribed (1,000, Mayor Strong $M, Mayor Qleaaon of Long Island $60, and Charles 'Steep ler, leader of the Manhattan Democ racy, $26, VIBWS OV POLITICIANS. Evou Mnyor Gleason Counts ou Ite coivlntr tho Goorjro Voto. Party leaders have made haste to lay claim to the George vote, now that the leader has been removed by death, and all can see wherein their own candidate will be benefited, Senator Piatt says: "Unless the Jef ferson Democrats are betrayed by 'Tom Johnspn, who has been their hoodoo from the start, their votes will be easily consolidated upon the other candidate. TheTlisreputable deal between Johnson and the Citizens' Union has further possibilities, so far as Johnson is con cerned, but not so far as the real friends and followers of George are concerned. They are not deliverable In bulk to anybody except to another bona fide candidate of the party. Gen eral TracV will not lose a single Re publican vote as the result of Mr. George's death. Republicans recognize the Low movement as a Democratic conspiracy. They see In Low an at tempt to revive Clevelandism and to betray the Republican party by an other of those characteristic tricks of the Cleveland Democracy. If the George party should split up the Socialist-Democratic element may be aav rlcd by Johnson to Low. Low Is some thing of a socialist himself, or rather he Is so much of a demagogue that, as he says, he is willing to stand on any platform that will fetch him a handful of votes. If George had lived he would have secured an enormous labor sup port that will now come to General Tracy. Of all the candidates In the field the Republican candidate has much the best ot it." Mr. Sheehnn, tho Tammany leader, said: "George was too weak physically to be put up- as a candidate, and the strain of the campaign was too great for him. I think that the great ma jority of men who were following him will vote the Van Wyck ticket." Mayor Gleason, ot Long Island City, a candidate for mayor of greater New York, said: "Mr. George was indeed the friend of the workingman, honest, capable and conscientious. His sudden death will completely change the com plexion of the political situation. The vote which would have been cast for Mr. George next Tuesday will now be split up, and as most of Mr. George's followers were workingmen I fully believe that 75 per cent of them will now come over to me." William J. Bryan was Interviewed at Logan, O., regarding Henry George's death. He said: "The suddenness with which the summons came will make more keen the sorrow which the public generally feel at the death of so great, so pure and so brave a man. By his own unaided genius he made his name familiar to the reading public of the world around. Those who agreed with his theories found in him an ideal leader, while those who opposed him admitted his ability and moral cour- ageL He was one of the foremost think ers of the world. His death will prove a loss to literature, society arid poli tics." At Indiana Mineral Springs, Ind Ex- Governor Altgeld expressed hlmselfas follows regarding Mr. George's death: "Henry George was one of the great men ot his age, and he made a deeper Impression on the economic thought of this country than nny other man. He was true and patriotic, and always on the side of Justice and struggling humanity. His fame will grew broader with time." Small pill, safe pill, beet pill.
