An Appeal.

The children of the Mercy Home need

this golden opportunity (Which comes to
some of them for the first time) of secur-

poor indeed
Ten dollars is needed at once
The condition of the treasury of the

the good people of Birmingham a neces-
sity, and we earnestly ask prompt and

dren? Money may be sent TO Mrs. w. Fl.

CRUSH IN PHILADELPHIA.
People Literally Crazy to See and Hear Bryan.
The Greatest Crowds of His Cam
paign-A Mad Race.

Philadelphia, Sept. 22-Five thousand
people packed closely in the Academy of
Music, with seating capacity of $780,
heard William j. Bryan deliver the first
of three addresses made to Philadelphia
audiences tonight. Many thousands more
swarmed in the streets outside of the
building, and these he addressed when
his indoor speech was finished. An enor-
nous crowd remained for hours outside
the hotel Lafayette awaiting to get
glimpse of the candidate. Equally great
was the assemblage that thronged Broad
and Wharton streets in front of the
Southwestern Democratic club to hear
the third and last address of the evening"
In all of Mr.. Bryan's campaigning he
never drew crowds of greater magnitude
The Academy of Music was entirely in
adequate for the principal Bryan demon
stration. 1t was packed from floor to
gallery. The doors had to be closed early
in the evening, for the building would not
hold more, and those inside were pressed
together as tightly as could be.
But the throng inside the Academy
was as nothing in point of numbers COM
pared to the packed masses in the streets.
On Broad street, outside the Hotel La
Fayette, a great crowd cho<ed the pas
sage for more than an hour before Mr..
Bryan left the hotel for the academy.
Passage to vehicles was impossible, and
even the extra squad of policemen who
were sent to clear way for Mr.. Bryan
a the entrance found much difficulty in
forcing their way through.
When Mr.. Bryan left his room to enter
his carriage several hundred men who
| had been held in check in the lobby and
| corridors of the hotel broke through the
| line of guards and rushed after him pell
| nell. With Mr.. Bryan were Chairman
| Curley of the city executive committee,
| ex-Congressman Kerr of Pennsylvania
! Congressman Seller of New York and
| members of the local committees. Sew
| eral' of these We're caught in the rush and
failed to keep up with the candidate.
Pieces of furniture were overturned and
crashing of glass bore witness to the
great rush that marked Mr.. Bryan's pas
sage through the hotel. The candidate
was sent flying along the corridors with
out regard to dignity and rushed
through narrow doorway and raced to
his carriage by way Of the SAMSON street
entrance, thus Guiding the crowd on
Broad street.
There was another rush at the Acade-
my, but Mr.. Bryan was finally landed
on the stage looking very much like the
center rush in a foot ball game after at
tempting the flying wedge. outside the
Academy was another mass of humanity
packed deep in Broad street and tapping
over into the adjoining thoroughfares. 1t
was good natured crowd and seemed
willing enough to be entertained by CAM
paign orators who spoke from trucks and
other conspicuous places.
