They did things well fifty OF one hun
dred years ago. The Oldest shingles on
house in Connecticut cover the roof of
the old Dow homestead, in which the
eccentric preacher Lorenzo Dow, lived
at Oxoboxo Lake, eight miles west of
Norwich, in the town of Montville.
Lorenzo put the shingles on himself.
He drew them in his ox-cart from the
Connecticut river. They were rived
and planned and joined by hand, and the
marks of the clamps in which they were
held while they were being prepared
are plainly visible on them yet. Mr..
n. b. Vars. who dwells in the Dow
house, says that the shingles apparently
are just as sound as on the day when
they were nailed to the rafters, sixty
five years ago., Not one is missing,
and none are rotten orpunky. He says
that they viii last for sixty or seventy
years longer. Lorenzo liked good work,
and after he put them on he said to his
neighbors that "they were going to last
to the day of judgment or whereabouts"
The Dow house is somewhat decrepit:
it is shaky; the gables have sagged and
the walls are weather-beaten. 1t is on
the shore of Lake Oxoboxo, and it looks
desolate and forsaken.

Goldbrick- "Where do you intend to

Hardwork- From Atwood, the man

GoIdbrick-''Well l don't intend to

Hardwork- ''I'n take your suggestion

Goldbrick (consOlingly)-''It is much

EXCITEMENT IN DUBLIN
RumOrs from an English Source that
the League In I'm Danger.

MEETING OF THE PARNELLITE MEMBERS.
LONDON, Jan. ia special dispatch to the
Telegraph from Dublin says: The excitement
here amounts almost to panic. Hope is at
the lowest ebb, and there are fears that mis-
chief will run riot within three months. Mem
bers of the league openly state that the league
is in imminent danger. The control of the
branches is already lost Parnell's position is
perlous. 1t is rumored that Callan's suit will
not be opposed in order to avoid awkward rev.
eIations. Nolan will seek a reelection.
DUBLIN, Jan. 11.-Sixty out of the eighty-six
Parnellite members OF parliament attended the
meeting here to-day, called for the purpose of
holding conference on the political situation
and to draft line OF action to be adopted at the
forthcoming session of parliament. The dis
cussion was devoted mainly to the subject of
home rule. Reporters were not admitted and
therefore no details OF the meeting can be given.
Mr.. Parnell was not present He left London
last evening for the purpose of attending the
conference, but quit the train at Crewe to par
take of refreshment and when he returned to
the platform be found the train had left. He
again started for Dublin this morning and ar
rived at Chester at the same time did Mr..
Gladstone, who was on his way to London. Mr..
Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell were on the same
platform for few minutes before the restarting
of their respective trains, but neither OF the
leaders spoke to the other.

Everything Depending On the IrisI

Everything Depending On the Irish
Question - Churchill's scheme Re-
jecte(l.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE cabinet met on Satur-
day. It is generally believed that Lord RAN
dolph Churchill's advanced Irish proposals
have been rejected, and that the government
will simply introduce a bill greatly extending
the local government, but extending 1t 10 Great
Britain and Ireland alike. The government
also have ready variety of other legislative
proposals, but 1T is needless to say these are
little more than a farce, as all must turn on the
Irish question. 1t is certain that the above
scheme won't meet with Parnells acceptance.
For the moment the question, therefore, is
what Gladstone will do. There will be an inn
portant, strictly private meeting of liberal
leaders tonight, but Gladstone is very unlikely
to submit any further proposals until i'm office
If he takes office he will do so in order to settle
the Irish question. The result then cannot be
foretold. Lord Harrington has declared that
he will not bulge. Mr. Chamberlain is still
undecided. The Dixie affair will not be settled
before the end of the month at the earliest. The
rank and file of the liberal party are at skies
and sevens on the Irish question, but this will
not be the first time that Gladstone has broug ht
order out of political chaos.
No parliamentary progress will be made till
Thursday week. Till then an unsatisfactory
period will be occupied by swearing members
In, interchanges OF opinions and attempts to
extract premature confidence from unwilling
ministers.
The queens personal appearance TO open
parliament Is unpleaSantly significant. 1t will
be remembered how at two critical periods in
Lord Beaconsfield's administration the queen
gave him the moral support of her presence.
During Gladstone's five sessions her face has
never been seen by the faithful commons.

Sad End Of . Disgraced Clergyman Of
Kansas City.

Kansas City.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 11.-Quite a sensation
was produced when, late last night the coroner
announced that Rev. H. ID. Jardine, who was,
some weeks ago, convicted before an eccesias-
tical court at Kansas City, had committed sui
eide here yesterday. 1t appears that Mr.. JAR
dine since his arrival here some days ago to
consult with his attorney regarding his case,
church, of which Father Belts is the rector
Saturday evening MIR. Jardiue and his attorney,
Mr.. Harrison, and Father Belts had pro-
longed conference IN the yestry room. during
the opinion that Bishop Robertson would not
grant Mr.. Jardine q rehearing OF his case. This
had some effect upon Mr.. Jardine, and he man.
ifested considerable feeling, repeatedly declar-
ing his innocence of the charges for which he
had been tried and the justice OF his demand
for a new trial. but when Father Belts and Mr..
ing, it was not thought that Mr.. Jardine was
seriously disturbed. When Father Belts ar
rived at the church early yesterday morning
he observed Mr.. Jardine still In bed, but did
not distrub him, and went on with his early
services. Later the sexton Of the church went
to the vestry room to wake Mr.. jar Inc
heavily. He Immediately called Deacon Dyer.
assistant to Father Belts, who on entering the
room detected chloroform and at once sent for
9iseoVered that Mr. ardine had taken cb ioey
form and Immediately adopted vigorous
measures to restore him, but after three hours,
continuous efforts they announced that the
reverend gentleman was dead. The conorer
was notified, and after hearing all obtainable
testimony a verdict OF suicide by chloroform was
rendered. The body was prepared for burial
taken to Kansas City tor interment. The fact
of the suicide was known to but few during the
day and received no public announcement until
the coroner reported the case late last night.
The case Is likely 10 create great sensation in
church circles, as Mr.. Jardine is said to have
been very popular In his denomination.
