Barre, May 7.--Dr. William L. Russell
died at his residence on Summer street
yesterday afternoon from an attack of
the mumps, with which disease he was
attacked about a month ago.
Until within few hours of his death,
it was confidently expected that he
would recover, but yesterday noon he
began to fail. and died at o'clock.
He would have been 100 years old if he
had lived until next October. He was a
remarkable man, and the cause of his
death was no less remarkable.
Dr. William Lambert Russell was
born Oct. %, 1899, at Carlisle, Mass.
He was the son of a farmer and during
his boyhood he lived on the farm. He
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-05-08

was greatly interested in books and
spent much time in reading.
He entered Harvard college at the age
of % from Gfoton academy. He gradu-
ated with the class of 1926. After a
varied experience in teaching school,
he studied medicine with DIR. Proctor
of Lexington and DR.. Doane of Boston,
and finally associated himself with DR..
Wyman of the Mclean asylum
Great interest centres about this man,
for, besides being the oldest resident of
Worcester county he was also the old
est living graduate of Harvard college.
Many of his family on both sides have
reached a very matured age.
The remarkable career of DR.. Russell
is fresh in the minds of the general pub
lie, his full history having been pub
lished in The Spy in January.

TIP. ABBOTT SPEAKS.
Socialist Discusses His own and National
Affairs to Applause Of Crowd.

Socialist Discusses His Own and National
Affairs to Applause of Crowd.
Thomas P. Abbott, the we'll known So
cialist, although not a member of the
socialist party, delivered a strong adj
dress before a large crowd beneath ora
tors peak at the East park cliffs, yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Abbott was ac-
corded applause at regular intervals,
and his exposition of socialism and de-
mocracy pleased the crowd. Next Sun
day he will speak upon THE social eff
feet of socialism" at the same place.
The speaker yesterday explained his
connection with the Worcester. Consol-
idated Street railway. and stated that
when his term of employment began. he
was instructed not to preach socialism
among the employees. This he did not
do, although he reserved to himself the.
right of free speech at all times. AS
his time was taken by speeches in diff
ferent parts Of the state, his foreman
warned him as to the conditions OF his
employment
Further, Mr.. Abbott devoted time to
describing the relations which had ex-
listed between himself and the socialist
party Mr.. Abbott stoutly maintains
there are socialists in the country out
side of the Worcester section, and that
section is not wholly representative of
the party.
In the course of his remarks. Mr.. Abb
bolt touched on many of the funda-
mental points of the socialistic doc
trines and laid special emphasis on the
necessity of members Of his economic
faith supporting their doctrines .politi-
cally. He scored those socialists who
believe in the combination with other
parties for the election of public Off
cials. and imputed selfish motives to
them. .-
was devoted TO a discussion Of the dis
tribution Of the public lands and the
economic principles that particularly
affect the farming class

William Archer has done what he
could to immortalize the American
barber, and to that extent he may be
said to have made new contribution
10 the literature of American travel.
But the London dramatic critic is I'M
reasonably severe. 1t is hiss own fault
if he found the artist of comb. razor
and shears too much of good thing.
Any London haberdasher would sell
waisteoats if Mr.. Archer would meekly
buy what is offered him. At any rate,
he cannot complain that he did not
get his moneys worth of witchhazel,
lotions and hot towels.

To offset the assertion. that while
men cannot be convicted and punished
for the lynching of negroes in the
south, should be quoted the recent YER
dict of a Kentucky jury, convicting six
white men of white-capping and
awarding $4,000 damages to the vic
tim, George Dining, colored. While
defending his home from mob, Din
ming shot and killed one of the rioters.
For this he was convicted of murder,
but was promptly pardoned by Gov.
Bradley. Meanwhile his house was
burned and his family driven away.
Dining then removed to Indiana and
brought suit for damages as a citizen
of that state, SO the case came before
federal court. The judges charge
left the jury nothing to do but assess
damages, and a verdict was returned
for the full amount sued for. Dining
accomplished little more than the es-
tablishment Of a precedent, for the six
defendants cannot possibly raise the
money, and the worst they can suffer
ing of the poor debtors oath. Still,
the example may be worth something,
No less a conservative man than the
correspondent of Harper's Weekly de-
MES the stories of wanton outrage on
the part of our soldiers in the Philip
pines. This writer is opposed to an
nexation. but he does not join in SLAM
dering American soldiers. He makes
it clear that the Filipinos are very
prickly people to handle 1t is we'll
known that their plan was to have
general uprising of the native inhabit-
ants and an indiscriminate massacre
of all foreign residents of Manila at
the same time that Aguinaldo's army
attacked our forces outside the city.
There was partial miscarriage of ar
engagements, for the attack on our lines
was begun prematurely, and the revolt
within the city was only imperfectly
carried out But even so, the atten-
ton of the American garrison was full
ly occupied. Not many days of fight
ing were ueeueQ 10 l6dCA our SOlul6TS
that the apparently harmless non-com-
batapts who begged for mercy on their
knees had but just hidden their rifles
and would take them up again at the
first opportunity and fire upon the
army from the rear. They were house
hold servants, clerks, cab drivers,
peasants or what not, and belonged to
the secret instruction league. Many
of these were killed by our troops, and
it may be that some innocent and we'll
disposed persons persisted, but there
could not have been many exceptions
of this kind, for few natives dared re-
fuse to join the league AS Harper's
correspondent says, a race war had
been, deereed. This is probably the
slender basis upon which the malicious
stories rest. ---.~.-

charges made by Gen. Miles relative

would not be substantiated, and in

Chauncey NJ. Depew has come home
from the west. convinced that Bryan
is the strongest man the democrats
have and that he will be renominated
next year, upon any platform he may
choose to name-free silver or other
wise. He finds no opposition to Bryan
west of New York state. Mr.. Depew is
much impressed with the personality
of these westerners. He says per-
sonality is Bryan's chief strength, Just
as it is Pingree's in Michigan and
Mayor Jones' in Ohio. He believes that
either Jones or Pingree would be
equally popular if they condemned
municipal ownership as visionary and
pernicious. and he significantly adds
that the most enthusiastic promoter of
municipal ownership is Tom L. John
son, who has street railways to sell if
not to burn. The intimation that the
Ethiopian in the wood pile is barely
concealed" is not one Of Chauncey's
most original jokes, but it goes.
