parueIi's Irish and Bill

rBy Anglican erican cable to the Dispatch.i
LONDON, September 1.-THE Stand
ard Of this morning says: "ParnelFs
bill is a most disappointing document.
IL would have been more candid to label
it 4 Measure for the Abolition OF Evic-
ton and the Reduction of Rents by One
Half fit became law it would put
every landowner in Ireland at the mercy
of the local leagues. 1t is difficult to
believe that Parnell framed the project
in a serious spirit"
The Telegraph says: THE most
ultra-Parnellite followers OF Gladstone
have no excuse for doubling that the
so.called temporary relief bill is an adj
captandum project Of the most IN
blushing kind. The House of Com
mons will see that il was never intended
from the first as a serious proposal, and
will deal with it accordingly"
The Times, commenting on PArnell's
land bill, says Parnell's bill has
undergone another change. 1t is a legls-
lstiye chameleon. Parliament is asked
to enforce a gigantic act of reputation
by the simple process Of allowing debt
oTs to retain what they owe their cred,
itors without being liable to legal pro-
ceedings. 1t is a project OF legislative
spoliation without modern precedent

LONDON, September l, 1886.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Last month opened with rumors OF
serious damage to the tobacco crop IN
Virginia and North Carolina which were
partially confirmed by cablegrams and
later advices, but there was nothing
sufficiently decisive to stimulate our
buyers to pay higher prices, and,
although rather more business IS re.
ported in bright tobacco, We do not find
that any advance over previous quota
tons was paid. FirSt-class bright Leaf
NAV, we think, be regarded as safe
property for some time to come, but the
large quantity of medium and common
tobacco must continue to be a weight
on the market.
There were few inquiries for dark
Virginia strips but we do not know OF
any sales over Cd. for pretty good stock.
The Government buyers we're in the
market for a small quantity OF leaf,
which they found at moderate price.
The western advices generally indl-
cate fair-sized crop in kentucky, al
though, we are afraid, again promising
a large proportion Of common grades
Missouri appears to be doing badly
On the whole, we see nothing IN the I'M
mediate future materially to influence
our market, and hope, at any rate, there
may be no necessity for dropping below
the present established range of quota
tions.

A Noted Correspondents Drops Suddenly
Dead in New York City.
New York Special to Minneapolis Tribune, March 81.
Mrs. William Thompson, better known as
Clara Belle" died suddenly this afternoon in
this city
She had apparently been shopping down town,
and at about quarter past 5 stopped at the cor
ner OF Fourteenth street and Broadway to board
a street.car. She crossed to the Fifth avenue
Hotel side of Fourteenth street, and waited for
a Sixty fourth street car. Some bystanders saw
her, as the car came along, raise her left hand,
with small crocodile-s skin handbag in it, to
catch the drivers attention. Then she gave
faint scream, dropped the bag, and, pressing
both hands to her left side would have fallen
had not Officer Murphy caught her in his arms.
A crowd at once gathered round, when. with the
assistance of second officer. Murphy raised her
and carried her into the Office of the Fifth-ave-
nue. Hotel.
DIR Charles Gale of San Francisco, happened
to be in the Office, and at once stepped forward
to offer his assistance. But it was roo late
she was dead. Meanwhile. the hotel clerk had tele
phoned to DR.. -Fordyce Barker, who arrived
quarter of an hour later, and united with DIR.
Gale IN pronouncing the cause OF the death to
have been heart disease.
So far none of the bystanders knew who the
lady was Her handbag was opened, however,
and In it were found several letters addressed to
Mrs. William Thompson, No. 719 Sixty eighth
street." as also card-case containing some of
which she had just purchased, and copies of the
Cincinnati Enquirer and the Minneapolis Trib-
une of the date of Sunday. March %. While
these were being looked at Mr.. Franklin File,
of the staff OF the New York Sun. CHANGED to
come into the hotel. He recognized the deceased
at once. and cried: 'Good God! that is Clara
Belle" The bystanders then all knew who it
was and universal sorrow was expressed on all
sides.
1t will be remembered that Mr. File was the
medium of Mrs. Thompson's introduction to the
public and he has often been supposed to be the
author of CLARA Bellies" letters. The fact was
that Mr.. Mclean, of the Enquirer, once in a
casual conversation in the Enquirer Office, asked
Mr.. File if he happened to know any New York
lady who would be likely to write good fashion
correspondence for his paper. Mr.. File had seen
some work of Mrs. Thompson-though only
slightly acquainted with her personally-and at
once recommended her. Negotiations were
opened. with the result which the public knows.
Mrs. Thompson &c Miss Kenny was forty
three years of age. Of a slight figure. with fair
hair. She married. Mr.. Thompson in 1867, and
has lived with him at the residence on Sixty
eighth street ever since.
Her husband at once telephoned for at
his Office, and later in the evening the body was
removed TO her late home The date Of the
funeral has not yet beer fixed

Mrs Mary Benenman is, no doubt the oldest
woman in the United States if not the oldest
person in the world. She will be III years old
Aprils27, 1886, and upon the same day her oldest
son. Peter Coulter will celebrate his eighty first
birthday.
Mrs. B.. her son, his wife and daughter reside
upon small farm one mile north of Russiaville,
a village twelve miles west of this city. Your
correspondent has just returned from visit to
this venerable lady, where he had the pleasure
of an interview. On account Of her deafness
and she not being able to read writing, it was
necessary to CLEAN most of her history from her
son and Others
Wefound this grand old lady seated near
window, dressed as our grandmothers OF
the present day She had upon her lap a
box of quilt pieces. which she was sewing
together in blocks with as much interest and
earnestness in her work as though she were
piecing her first quilt preparatory to going TO
housekeeping. She spends most of her time in
making quilts, does her sewing we'll and is able
to thread her needle as dexterously as one hun
dred years her junior. Her eyes require glasses,
and she now wears pair she's worn for thirty
years and is very partial to them.
Mrs. b. spends her Sundays in reading, deyot-
ing most OF her time to the Bible. She has been
a member of the Methodist Church for nearly
eighty years. AS one gazes upon her there is
something which rivets his attention and inspires
admiration and reverence. Her face, though
plowed with burrows Of time and doubly
wrinkled with age, bears strong
look of intelligence. The absence of teeth for
SO many years has allowed the lips to contract
and draw closely to the gums, giving the mouth
puckered appearance and letting the cheeks
shrink and fan in but her eyes are bright, show
ing clearly that the flash and sparkle of We olden
times still remains, though dimmed by age
She sometimes loses her reckoning of time and
has to be reminded when Sunday comes, or she
