CROWDS AT THE PARK
A RED LETTER DAY IN THE
CITY'S HISTORY
Marvellous Scene of a Packed Mass Of
Humanity Content to Suffer
Inconvenience

Never before in the history Of Los An
geles has any single individual received
such an ovation as that extended to
William Jennings Bryan at Fiesta park
yesterday afternoon. It Is no exag-
geration to say that at least $4,000 people
mediate vicinity, while every electric
pole and tree about the place was COW
cred with men and boys. 1t had been
announced that the gates at the north
end of the park would be thrown open to
the people at 1850 o'clock, but long before
that hour the people began to gather in
force. Many came in wagons from the
country, while all of the street cars were
crowded to their full capacity. But
with all their rolling stock in use the
railroads could not handle the crowds,
ard hundreds walked to the grounds.
At 2 o'clock every permanent and tenn
porary seat in the park was occupied,
with the exception of some in the boxes,
while the open space at the north end
was literally packed.
The arrangements were severely demo-
cratic, and there was no attempt at
decoration, except few flags about the
stand, over which a large sounding
board had been erected. Near the
stands were the seats reserved for the
members of the committee the members
of the Republican Silver club and invited
guests, as we'll as most of the local Demo-
cratic leaders. Promptly at o'clock,
after music by the band, loud shout
announced the arrival of the distinguish
ed visitor, who headed the procession
in a carriage, escorted by Nathan Cole,
Jr., Judge j. Noonan Phillips and George
w. Patton, the visitors from the north,
and others who had been to the luncheon
following. The party entered by the
Pico and Hope streets gate, and in few
seconds Mr.. Bryan, with his escort, was
seen making his way to the speakers S

cheering, which continued until Mr..

to the vast multitude that has turned
out to honor and welcome the most no.

But it was not to be. Sickness tied her
fast to her couch and yet she had a
longing just to see the man she had
learned to know so we'll through his
speeches In somewhat indirect way
the matter was brought under the no.
tice Of Mr.. Cole yesterday at the pavil-
ion and by him mentioned to Mr.. Bryan.
The result was that the route down town
was changed at the last moment and the
driver was instructed to drive along OIL
i've street past the lady's residence. In
passing No S19 the horses were slowed
up and the invalid was made happy by
seeing the face of the man who, she
thoroughly believes, is engaged in doing
noble and a holy work

the audience, with George w. Patton
standing at his right and Congressman
Mcguire at his left. Hon. W. w. Foote
also occupied seat on the stand, while
Mayor Snyder, the members of the city
council and we'll known citizens dls-
tributed themselves about the incline IN

There was no time wasted, for no
sooner was the party in the stand than
Mr. Patton introduced Mr.. Bryan In the
following brief remarks:

geles. Itismy high privilege to welcome

Long before the hour appointed for
the public reception at the pavilion yes

massed with an ever-increasing thronc
of people. The interior of the building
wore a brilliant if somewhat unfinished d
appearance, there being number of
workmen busily engaged in completine
the decorations in readiness for the ban
quet in the evening.
Mr.. Bryan was delayed by reason of
his being photographed, and it was
twenty five minutes to 10 before the
sound of distant cheers announced the
approach of the silver leader. As the
open carriage drove rapidly up to the
pavilion cheer after cheer was given by
the multitude, which Mr.. Bryan, who sat
bareheaded, smilingly acknowledged to

Beautiful Pictures

The "fotografs' that Marceau took OF

finished and distributed before o'clock
last night were not only feat of me-
chanical skill, but they are beautiful
as works of art. The negatives are SO

and the modelling that mean so much
are plainly in evidence; yet the fore

before his more arduous duties for the
day commenced. Mr.. Marcean superin-
tended the sitting in person and says Mr..

A PRETTY sTORY-AND TRUE

PRETTY SIORY-AND TRUE
In leaving the pavilion a particularly
graceful act on the part of Mr.. Bryan
is worth recording.
On South Olive there resides a lady
who has been an invalid for some time
and the only solace she has had in many
a weary hour has been her books. Being
naturally studious, she was led to make
study of the silver question and has
followed Mr.. Bryan in every detail of
his exciting career since the day when
he captured the convention in Chicago.
On her couch she conned the speeches
and rejoiced in every advance that was
made in the cause of the reconciliation
of silver and was bitterly disappointed
when Mr.. Bryan failed in being elected
as president of the United States.
This lady has hoped against hope that
she might have been able to get out in

to search for it and content to find /.

These remarks were greeted with a roar
of cheers, Mr.. Bryan retiring within the
building meantime.
A gang of workmen had been engaged
in completing the interior decorations of
the building, and an impromptu five
minutes reception was held for their
especial benefit. Each hand, grimy
with toll, was shaken. kind word or
two spoken. and then the carriages were
announced.
THE LABORERS WELCOME
During the morning the following ad-
dress of welcome was presented to Mr.
Bryan on behalf of the labor unions OF
the city The wording of the document
was as follows:
ION behalf of the organized working
men in this section, the Los Angeles
County Council of Labor cordially ex-
tends to you a welcome to our sunny
cline, and takes this opportunity to pre-
sent to you our heartfelt gratitude for
the noble stand you have taken in behalf
of the toilers. We heard your clarion
voice from afar, and a new hope was
horn within US. In that hope we are
still living. We are watching with joy
your phenomenal progress in awakening
the masses and in exposing the wrong
In unison with millions of victims of
monopoly, we hail you as the leading
champion of the common people.
Though the hosts of plutocrscy may
revile you. it will but serve to open the

toilers, and unite them in a solid pha-
lanx demanding their right to life and
a means of living.
Having followed the setting sun TO
seek for a livelihood. the broad Pacific
now arrests our westward course, and
we have had leisure to examine the
hard conditions which surround us.
Could your visit to California have been
prolonged. we might have shown you
the stranded human wrecks which line
the shore of this erstwhile Eldorado.
You might have seen myriads of toiling
wights buffeting against the waves of

Charity funds to give men employment
at one dollar day. In fact, the sons of
toll are here enjoying the sort of pros
perity that follows the monopoly o.
land, transportation, finance and the
leading industries
Therefore we would ask you to take
this message to our fellow toilers be-
yond the Rockies:
Brothers, organize at once for the
strike of your lives Let every worker,
union ard nom union, all who live by
honest toll, form in a solid column and
strike at the ballot box one ponderous
blow for freedom; one mighty sweep Of
your powerful arms that shall shatter
the chains of servitude and once more
unfurl the starry emblem over a nation
of freemen.'

established to govern the United States

for five years. Great Britain holds
that neither Russia nor Japan has any

that needs to be determined is whether
or not the seal herd is diminishing,
and, if it is, then she and the United
States should take the necessary meas
