Chairman Butler Issues an Address
to the Members of His Party.
IT Is AIMED T0 AID BRYAN.
The Vice Presidential Complication, It
Says, 15 Capable of Satisfactory Adj usi-
mentr—No Danger That the Party
Is Doomed to Disintegration.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-—Senator Butler,
as chairman of the Populist national com-
mittee, has issued the following official
address, written by Ignatius Donnelly, and
adopted by the national committee of the
Populist party:
To the Mom bers of the People’s Party of
the United States:
FRIENDS AND BRETHREN—Your national
committee has been doing all in its power
to unite our membership in one grand
charge all aloyg the line, during the clos-
ing days of the campaign, in behalf of lib-
erty, home» and country. We have been
.mcasurably successful. All that is needed
now is that the people should realize the
gravity of the situation which confronts
them and the immense interests that are
at stake and move together as one man.
All thoughtful citizens stand appalled
before tremendous power which the mil-
lionaires of the world, few in number and
individually insignificant, have put forth
in this contest. They seek continued pow-
or simply to increase their possessions.
The good of mankind has no place in their
purposes. They come to us from Europe,
which they have despoiled and made a
land of princes and paupers, where great
wealth and great poverty stand perpetu-
ally facing each other, where hireling ar-
mies preserve the peace and protect the
robbers from their victims. They are rap-
idly bringing this great free republic to
the same condition. Our ancestors fled
from the old world to the new to escape
the dreadful. doom which injustice had
inflicted upon them. Whither will our
children fly when the full flower of this
hideous abomination blossoms forth into
perfection? Oppression peopled this new
world; is oppression to unpeople it? Or is
our noble civilization to sink in blood, in
a blind battle of wretchedness against
power, striking wildly and wounding
itself?
The Candidates.
We stand for the preservation of .human-
ity in the highest estate of which it is
capable on earth. Every instinct of . phi-
lanthropy, every teaching of religion, ev-
ery impulse of wisdom, every dictate of
statesmanship is with us in this mighty
struggle, and urges us forward to save the
republic and the human race.
In a burst of generous enthusiasm and
through the pangs of civil war, we accom-
plished the enfranchisement of another
race, but in the slough of despond from
which we plucked the black man, the
black and white are now struggling. Hav-
ing saved others, We seek now to save our-
selves. ‘
The issue is mightier than any fought
for in the past.
We have the noblest of leaders. Our
candidate for president, Hon. William J.
Bryan, has proven himself one of the great
men of the century—if not of all time.
The power which gave us Washington,
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln, has by
events almost miraculous brought him
’from obscurity to the forefront of afi'airs.
He is more than an oratér. He is a pro-
found thinker—a logician—a born states-
man. He is striving to see the last verge
of human endurance—and at the risk of
his life—in a campaign which is one pro-
longed and tremendous debate to save his
country. Is there any honest heart that
does not go out to him in this great strug-
gle? Shall we not sustain him? Shall
any petty plea turn us aside? Let us fol-
low where he leads, and every Populist in
the United States cry out:
Master, go on, and we will follow thee
To the last gasp with truth and loyalty.
We are no less fortunate in our candi-
date for vice president, Hon. Thomas E.
He is fit to stand by Mr. Bryan
and hold up his head. A scholar, an au-
thor, an orator, a hero, a fiery souled son
of the gallant south, as wise and just' as
he is brave.
But do not take discouragement from
the fact that there are two candidates for
vice president in the field marching under
Mr. Bryan‘s banner. There will be two
months between the date of the election
and the day when the electors are required
by law to cast their votes. Surely there
is wisdom enough in the two parties which
support Mr. Bryan to adjust that compli-
cation during that time in a manner sat-
isfactory to all.
The Party's Future.
Brethren, some of you fear that this
campaign will destroy the People’s Par-
ty. We have no such apprehensions. Its
principles are right, and being right they
are immortal. We have not given up our
organization. We do not propoSe to close
the academy because the first class is about
to graduate with honor. As the spirit is
greater than the flesh, so the principles of
a party are greater than its traditions.
Men’s opinions are not fixed quantities,
but fluctuate with .events. If Democracy
lives up to its pledges, the alliance, now
temporary, may bc'oontinued. If they do
not and forces have to divide, three-fourths
of their people will march off under our
standards. The banquet is not over with
the soup. The People’s Party has yet a
tremendous mission to perform, and it
seeks nothing that is not just and reason-
able. It must. ever remain the guiding
force of the American repulbic—led by
the pioneers of the great army of reform.
In the name of God, your country, your
children, and all the poor and oppressed
of the whole world, we ask you not to fore-
go this opportunity to do good and help
inlankind. Let all unworthy thoughts per-
5 .
The tremendous power put forth by our
opponents teaches us that if we fail now
we may fail forever. We feel the pressure
of the chains upon our limbs, but they-are
not yet rivited. Shall the cunning artifi-
cers have four years more in which to
finish their work? Shall we not strike
down now and forever? Remember that
when liberty dies in the United States it
dies in the whole world. This is man’s
one last great opportunity. Forget every-
thing else and do your whole duty.
Both Legs Cut Off.
CAMDEN, N. J.,Oct. 26.—George Baler, 7
years old, lies in the Cooper hospital in a
critical condition. He had both legs out
off below the knees by being run over by
a street car at Broadway and Webster
street, this city. The boy was riding on
the rear end of a wagon immediately in
front of a car when he was ordered off by
the driver. The boy fell in getting off,
and before the car could be stopped the ve-
hicle passed over his legs. '

THE BOY scarier. IDUND.
Condom/His Abductnr, Win Probably Get
Twenty Years In Jail.
ALBANY, Oct. 26.—William F. Proctor,
the 15-year-old lad, who mysteriously dis-
appeared from his home in Philadelphia
some six weeks ago, was found in this city
late last night in company with a middle
aged man named William J. Conlon of
Philadelphia. Conlon was arrested on the
charge of abduction and was committed
to jail.
Nothing was heard of young Proctor
until recently when a letter from this city
was received from him, in which he asked
that money and clothes be sent to him.
The boy’s parents immediately communi-
cated with the police of Philadelphia, and
Chief Linden telegraphed to Chief Willard
the facts. A detective stationed himself
in the postoflico-and watched the general
delivery window. For three days he
watched and. finally was rewarded when
young Proctor and a man called at the
window for letters. Proctor was given
two letters and Detective 'Nolan arrested
the man, who gave his name as William
J. Conlon, aged 53, ofPhiladelphia.
When questioned the boy told a most
pitiful and revolting story and was evi-
dently in mortal dread of Conlon. He
said that Conlon had coaxed him away
from home and promised to buy him a bi-
cycle. From Philadelphia they went to
New York, and then by means of freight
trains have been traveling about the coun:
try, and all the time the poor lad has been
a great sufferer.
While waiting in the station house the
man and boy, who were left sitting to-
gether, entered into a whispered conver-
sation, and as the lad looked terrified they
were separated. When questioned, Proctor
said that Conlon had said that if he got
him into trouble he (Conlon) would kill
him. The punishment for Conlon’s crime
in this state is 20 years. The boy will be
held as a witness against Conlon. Mrs.
Proctor has arrived here and is now with
her son.
POISONEDI THE FAMILY.
Three Deaths Caused-”by the Act of an
Insane Servant.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 26. -— Miss Alice
Platt, aged 28 years, a servant girl in the
household of Charles Mussey, a prominent
attorney, is under arrest on suspicion of
having poisoned Mrs. Terrence, Mussey’s
mother-in-law, aged 69 years, and three
children. She is believed to have been in-
sane.
Mrs. Ellen R. Torrance, Mrs. Mussey’s
mother, died suddenly five weeks ago, sup-
posedly from stomach complaint. Soon
after that Hugh, a 6-year-old son of the
Musseys, was saved from morphine poi-
soning, and today Sue, aged 4, and Eliza-
beth, aged 10 years, died of strychnine
poisoning, taken in cookies given them by
the servant.
The death of Mrs. Torrance and illness
of the boy Hugh-were at the time supposed
to have been natural. Evidence tends to
fasten the death of all three upon the serv-
ant. At the coroner’s office Miss Platt
steadfastly maintained her innocence.
The reason for the alleged crime is insan-
ity, which the Musseys haveasuspected of
Miss Platt for some time.
Naval Legislation Requested.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-—The secretary of
the navy has received a petition signed by
all of the officers attached to the United
States naval vessels on the Asiatic station
requesting him to urge upon congress cer-
tain legislation to put them on the same
footing as oflficers of the army inrespect
to retirements. They ask that naval and
marine officers may retire after 40 years’
service, or upon application to the presi-
dent after 30 years’ service; that oflicers
so retired may be paid 75 per cent of full
sea pay and that enlisted men in the navy
and marine corps may be retired under the
same conditions.
Hon. Edwin \Villets Dead.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—-—Hon.
Willets, who was assistant secretary of ag-
riculture under Secretary Rusk and who
continued in that. position under Secre-
tary Morton until a few months since, is
dead. Mr. Willets was 66 years of age. He
had been a resident of Michigan since
1836. He was a member of the Forty-
fifth congress, was for 12 years a member
of the state board 'of education, and had
been principal of the State Normal school
and president of the Michigan Agricultur-
al college. '
Prophet Stntzke Disappears.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2G.—-—The cottage of
Prophet F. Stutzke, the man who predict-
ed the end of the world yesterday, is shut
tight. It is .413 East Seventy-fifth street.
Opinion in the neighborhood is divided.
The policeman on the beat could not tell
whether Stutzke was avolding taunts on
the faiure of his predictions or had gone
off to heaven or elsewhere on his own hook
without waiting for the balance of the
procession.
Crushed to Death.
JAMAICA, ,N. Y., Oct. 26.—-While at
work grading on the site for the new nor-
mal school at this place Nunzio Ferrari,
an Italian,'was instantly killed by the

earth. Felix Garzin, a fellow laborer, was
seriously, if not fatally, injured at the
same time.

LIVE INSECTS AS JEWELRY.
New York Women Are “fearing: Crawling
Japanese Terrapin as Brooches.
“’omen have taken to wearing jew-
elry that is alive and crawls, a fact
which requires some explanation.
There is a little animal known as the
Japanese terrapin, which for many
years has been allowed to make its
humble way unnoticed. Then of a
sudden some fickle Parisian ladies be-
gan to tire of their brilliant chame-
leons, which they had formerly been
fond of wearing as a substitute for
jewelry, and the pretty little terrapin
was attached to a gold chain and be-
came the very newest fad. Then New
York women took up the idea, and a
New York jeweller, in response to the
demand, has just ordered some hun-
dreds of these living ornaments. “’0-
men are so quick to adopt an idea of
this sort that it will not be very long
before the bodices of every fashion-
able woman will be adorned with a
crawling Specimen, and the enterpris—
ing dealer’s supply will be more than
exhausted. ,
The terrapin is a harmless little
creature, most amiable and unobtru-
sive in disposition and modest like-
wise in appetite.
of him as an ornament he may safely
be kept in a box, and will subsist con—
tentedly on a little water and a fly or
two every night. He has a pretty mot-
tled shell, to which a gold chain is
easily attached. This in turn is fas-
tened to a stickpin, which may be
elaborate or otherwise. A gold heart
is the simplest design, and a. gold dag-
ger is likewise popular. The terra-
pin is often worn with evening gowns,
when he astonishes the public by
crawling over his owner’s fair neck.
One has to conquer a little squeamish-
ness to keep up with modern fads,
and the terrapin permits no exception
to this.
“’ild \Vcst Courtesy.
Having finished inditing an edifying
account of the lynching of a superflu-
ous Chinaman which had occurred im-
mediately after the greased-pig chase
at the recent Sunday school picnic,
the able editor of the Rocket City Ba-
zoo rested from his literary labors and
began bathing with liniment his left
leg, which had pained him more or less
ever since the Surgeon had dug out a
small batch of slugs which had been
shot into it some weeks before by an
infuriated presiding elder.
.While the scribe was still engaged
in this praiseworthy operation a small
boy appeared with a. note, which the
editor found upon examination to be
couched in the following succinct lan-
guage:
“Colonel Rawhide’s compliments to
the editor of the Bazoo, and hopes he
has on file a copy of the last issue of
his vile sheet, in which he stigmatized
the Colonel as a putrid, pestilential
abscess in the bosom of society, as the
Colonel intends to call upon the editor
this afternoon and make him eat it.”
Bidding the lad wait a moment, the
editor grasped his pen in his good
right hand and wrote the following
terse and conclusive reply:
“The editor of the Bazoo begs to ac-
knowledge receipt of Colonel Raw-
hide’s appreciated favor of this date,
and requests that the Colonel will, if
he can do so without serious incon-
venience to himself, make his call up-
on the editor after 2 o’clock this after-
noon and before 5 o’clock, as the ed-
itor confidently expects to be engaged
in a shooting affray with a prominent
advertiser at about 1 or 1:30 o’clock,

fore the Young Men’s Christian Asso-

THE EVENING (SA zn'I‘T-E,
A'N ocrocENAmA'N' s‘cosenae ;.
Miss Yates Claims to be the Oldest Wheel-
woman on the Pacific "Coast.
Mrs. Christina E. Yates claims the
distinction of being the oldest wheel-
woman. She is proud of the record
she has made awheel, and stands
ready to meet any woman of her age.
either in a contest of skilful riding
or as a. matter 'of endurance. Miss
Yates is 80 years old. She says that
age does not count when it comes to
riding a bicycle. She can wheel her
way over the roughest roads, and sel-
dom gets weary.
Miss Yates resides at 960 Grove
street, Oakland, where she can be
seen almost any day going out for her
exercise. She gave an exhibition of
riding in Jefferson Park in the pres-
ence of a number of people. The way
She sailed around the paths and cut
the figure eight Witlrthe wheel was a
revelation to the few young damsels
who had been inclined to make some
fun of the aged cycler. But Miss
Yates does not fear the smiles of
the younger members of her sex. On
the contrary, she enjoys attracting
some attention, and is pleased to be
recognized as the champion old lady
rider. _
“I believe I am the oldest woman
bicycle rider on the coast.” said Miss
Yates, after giving an exhibition of
her riding and posing for her picture.
“I am proud of it, and I intend to
hold the record. I do not believe that
there is a woman of my age in the
state who can outdo me in ordinary
or trick riding. It was queer the
way I learned to ride. I saw lots of
these old gray-headed men around
town sailing along on their wheels.
and I came to the conclusion that
there must be something good in it.
I said to myself, if an old man can
ride a wheel, surely an old woman
can equal him. So I got a wheel and
commenced to ride, and now here 1
am, a maiden lady of 80 years, and
the champion rider of my sex as to
age. In a short time I am going back
to my old home in Columbus, Ohio,
and I’m just going to astonish the na-
tives. Won’t the old boys open their
eyes when they see Christina coming
into town on a wheel and cutting a
figure eight on the way?”
.2. WORD To MODERN‘YOUTH.
Flippuncy Treated in aWay that He Can
Understand.
“Ichabod, my boy, methought I
heard you speak of your sire this
morning as the old man. You are
eighteen years of age, are you not?
Just so! That is the age when cal-
low youth has his first attack of big.-
head. You imagine at this moment
that you know it all. I observed by
the cut of your trousers and the angle
of your hat, and the flavor of your
breath, and the style of your tooth-
pick shoes, and the swagger of your
walk, that you are badly gone on your-
self. That is an error of your youth
which your uncle can overlook, but it
pains him sorely to hear you speak
in terms of disrespect to one you
should never mention save by the sa-
cred name of “father.” He may not
be up to your style in the modern art
of making a fool of himself, but ten
to one he forgets more in a week than
you will ever know. He may not en-
joy smoking gutter-snipes, chopped
fine and inclosed in delicate tissue pa-
per, but he has borne ‘a good many
hard knocks for your sake, and is en-
titled to all the reverence your shal-
low. brain can muster.
By and bye, after you are through
knowing it all and begin to learn some-
thing, you will be ashamed to look in
the glass, and wonder where the fool~
killer kept himself when you were
ripe for sacrifice. 'And, then, when
the “old man” grows tired of the
journey and stops to rest, and you
fold his hands across his bosom and
take a last look at his face that has
grown beautiful in death, you will feel
a sting of regret that you ever spoke
of him in so grossly disrespectful a
manner, and when you hear other
young sprouts of imbecility using the
language that so delighted you in the
germial period of manhood, you will
feel like chasing them with a sled—
stake and crush their skulls to see if
there is any brain tissue on the in-
side.” '
