ton Demanding Disfranchisement

There are, by many thousands, too
many unmarried men in the United

sembled in worlds congress- here, deem
it our right to demand that the state
disfranchise all men who have
reached the age Of 25 years and are
still unmarried"

weeks ago for the convention of old

LIVES MORE THAN CENTURY
BEFORE DEATH CLAIMS HIM
John Bradleys, Who Claimed to Be
1876 Years of Age, Dies at the
Soldiers Home

Soldiers Home.
STANFORD, Conn, June 15.-John
Bradleys, who was one Of the oldest,
If not the oldest man in America, is
dead at Fitch's Soldiers Home at Moro
ton Heights, Conn. He claimed to be
136 years old and was proud of his
longevity. The hospital authorities at
Noroton Heights calculate that he was
at least 115 years of age. He was born
in Ireland and came to this country
when a young man. The outbreak of
the Civil War found him in New Haven
and he was then an old man. He was
anxious to enlist and to give himself
the appearance of youth he dyed his
hair black. The ruse appears to have
succeeded, for he was admitted to the
Sixth Connecticut. About ten years
ago he was admitted to the home. He
always smoked and drank as much as
he wanted and could procure.
