CHARLEY Ross.-The father of Charley
Ross, writing to the latest discoveries of
the lost boy in Canada, says that the last
spark Of hope has gone out, and he mourns
the lost one as dead. After giving reasons
why the Canada boy can not possibly be
Charley, he adds: II have always believ-
ed that my Charley, although only four
years and two months old at the time he
was taken, would remember his brother
Walter, who was t. ken away with him,
and have also thought that he would even
have a distinct recollection of the feelino
of loneliness that he must have experienced
when he found he WAS in the hands of
strangers and separated from bis parents"
On another recent occasion, Mr. Ross said:
1.-The only tidings have ever received of
Charley since he was stolen was the de-
mand for ransom of 1920 900. As it is,
have spent 100000, and have not got
him."

says. lin reading Mr.. Rocks account of his OBJ
seryation OF the great comet on the 9th of july.
On that evening the comet was hidden at this
observatory by clouds until about ten o'clock
local time, when Mr.. Wilson went into the dome
to observe its position with the eevea-inc.l re-
tractor. He soon returned. however. and called
my attention TO the remarkable appearance of
the nucleus. | went to the dome and from
that time until three o'clock We alternately ey-
amlned the comet. making sketches and me.-
sures. The fan had its usual appearance.
but when first observed bright red
spot projected from the nucleus into the
dark region on the side of the nucleus
opposite the fan. This Jet was totally different
In appearance from those usually seen. 1t was
at first straight. and i'm brightness rivailed
the nucleus itself: in fact. at the first glance it
seemed to form one with the nucleus On a
closer inspection. however. | saw that il had q
transparent appearance, but still intensely
bright and red. The next glance showed that
there was dark line separating it from the
nucleus. Mr.. Wilson had already called my at
tentiOn to this dark line before | went to the
dome. During the first few minutes a de-
cided change took place The jet seemed
TO separate and form a nucleus of
It's own. so that for a time the comet appeared
to double. Gradually. however. tine detached
portion grew fainter. until when last seen about
IN the morning. although plainly visible it was
no brighter than the fan-shaped appendage on
the opposite side of the nucleus. | noticed the
band OF light which Mr.. Rock speaks as connecting

TO MIR. Wilson at the time. but this afterwards
disappeared. leaving a separate mass floating
like cloud in the dark region opposite the fam

took place in the comet on that evening" nor

Mrs. Parnell Speaks.

ADDRESSES MADE AT THE LAND LEAGUE PICNIC
THE 1NFERNAL MACHINE PLAN DlsAPPROvED
There was very large attendance at the Irish
National Land League picnic at Beyer's park
last evening. The branch land leagues and
other Irish societies marched to the park about
half-past six o'clock. About half.past eight
o'clock the assembly was called to order NV
Major NJ. E. Urell DIR. Antisell the first
speaker. in the course of his remarks said he
for one, was not in favor of resOrting to such
measures as Internal machines, and since it has
been stated that the land league indorses this
means of destruction they should be emphatic
in their denial of it.
Mrs. Della Stewart Parnell, lady apparently
about fifty years of age, of large frame, was then
introduced. She spoke with ease and distinct
ness. England of late, she said had been fiat
tering herself that she was through with the
land league; but this year, instead Of only giving
Ireland ahaf-hour hearing per session. the whole
attention of Parliament has been engrOssed by
the Irish question. She had read that day that
her son had had difficulty with Gladstone. She
believed it was about the budget to pay soldiers
and policemen now in Ireland. The English
people are nothing If not practical, and they are
beginning to believe that it would be cheaper to
give Ireland to the Irish than to continue the
struggle. England is at the present the slave of
Ireland. No legislation can be enacted unless
the Irish in Parliament allow it. She believed
that the land league was the NOah's ark in which
Ireland would ride safely over her present trou-
!bles, and finally enter the harbOr Of freedom
When Mrs. Parnell concluded Miss Ellen Ford
was introduced. and said that her object In ac-
companying Mrs. Parnell was to establish land
leagues for ladies. An address was made by
Mr.. p. j. DOnahue, after which the lady guests
held q reception in q booth and then left for
their hotel.

Is He the Murderer?

THE SUSPICIOUS NEGRO HELD FOR MATTHEW'S
TAYLOR GIVES HISTORY OF HIMSELF THAT
SEEMS TRUE.
The Richmond Dispatch of yesterday says:
The case of Matthews Taylor alias Price was
called III the police court yesterday morning:
and continued until Friday next on account of
the absence of CommOnw nath's Attorney Witt
VINO desired to be present at the examination
In conversation with Captain Peasants of the
1lrst police district Sunday night the prisoner
stated that his name was William Price, that he
was born and raised i'm the city OF Alexandria.
and at the time of his arrest was in the employ
ment OF the Great Falls Ice company George
town. ID. c. He said that on Friday or Satur-
day previous to his arrest he was stand
ing at the Virginia end of the Long
bridge, when man approached him
and said that his name Matthews Taylor.
and that he had run away from Richmond on ac-
count OF a crime he had committed. After tell
ing him the nature of the crime and the name of
the woman. the man moved off and he saw no
more of him. The prisoner also explained his
story about being in the penitentary. He said
that when quite small boy he was helping a
man to drive flock of sheep across the viaduct
bridge. when cOlOfed man on horseback rode
into the flock trampling several ofthe sheep under
foot; that he seiZedhold of the horses bride and
asked the man what he was doing. The man asked
him if he price could not see what he was
doing. An alteration then ensued between

and firing, the ball taking effect in the wrist OF
his CPrice's) right arm. (The scar is plainly
visible Price being armed with pistol re-
turned the fire. killing the man. For this offence
he was tried in Washington and sentenced to
ten years in the Albany penitentiary The
prisoner said that his mother and step-father
lived in Alexandria, and that he had an
uncle living in Washington. When asked
if he knew anybody in Alexandria he
gave the names of several persons
lnd n1cr c$n al.
lived. He also said that he knew several of
the police force of that city. giving the name of
Capt. Smith, of whom he gave very accurate
description. Taken altogether he told very
straightforward story, and those who heard it
were forced to admit that if not strictly true it
was certainly quite plausible. 1t has been the
opinion of many ever since the man was brought
here that he must have met with Matthews Tay-
lor somewhere since the murder, and that pOr-
ton of his narrative in relation to the interview
he had with Taylor confirms that opinion. In
all probability the genuine Matthews Taylor is
still lurking around Was hington.
