PARNELL WILL TAKE THE LEAD

In a Strong Attack on the Coercion Policy of she Tories. LONDON, Dec. 22.-The statement is au- thorized that Mr. Parnell has become con- vinced that the position of the Irish tenants is great deal worse than it was when he introduced his prevention of eviction bill and believes that the National league plan of campaign has procured abatements of rents where everything has failed. He does not think it probable that the government will propose coercion bill and is satisfied that the remarkable absence of crime in Ireland has left no excuse for coercion. The sup pression of the National league would, how ever, inevitably result in the organization of secretsocieties rivalling each other in the commission of crime and necessitating the governments asking Parliament for further coercive powers. The present situation, he believes, points strongly to the probability that the government will be obliged to intro duce a bill reducing rents to the stand ard of the recent decisions of the land commissioners and also admitting to lease holders that the governments illegal method of reducing rents through General Buffers action had failed, except in cases where moonlighters or the leagues plan of campaign had assisted in securing reduc- tions. MT. Parnell will lead strong attack upon the whole policy of the government at the opening of Parliament.
 The organ of the Loyal and Patriotic union asserts that MT. William O'Brien visited London a fortnight ago and held secret conference with Mr. Parneil. MT. Gladstone denies that Mr. Parnen ever visited Hawar- den:
 DUBLIN, Dec. a2.-A deputation of the tenants on the Donegal estates of the Mar quis of Londonderry, viceroy of Ireland. are about to visit Dublin for the purpose of appealing to the Marquis for reduction of rent of thirty per cent.
 Commoner Pinkerton, an Irish Protes- tant, addressed National league meeting ct Magherafelt to-day and informed his hearers that the plan of the campaign had been abandoned. He urged the formation of tenants defense societies, to which he said the government would be powerless to pre- vent the payment of rents.
 The Nation advises tenants, in the event of the plan of campaign failing, to keep the rent money themselves an essential condition of victory and not to pay rack rents, thus virtually abolishing landlords in Ireland.

Another Through Route.
 BOSTON, Dec 22.-The Journal says: Sur veyors are expected to begin in few days to lay out route by which the Central Mas sachusetts railroad may enter Springfield. The plan is to secure the cooperation of the New York and New England road and build connecting line from the latter road to the Central Massachusetts at the Birch am's Bend on the Chicopee river. The length of the line would be three miles and could be easily built It is said that aside from the land damages, which would be slight, the cost of construction would not be over $50, ,000. This would give the Central a line from Boston to Springfield at about equal distance with the Boston 6 Albany and open bury extension of the New York and New England.

 The toboggan slide is in excellent condi- tion, and the attendance last evening was very good. Many of the ladies were attired in the picturesque blanket suits and the gen tlemen wore the dainty tuques, so pc. .,ular in Montreal and other cities in the North. Both chutes were packed with ice, and the tobog gans flew over the surface at express train speed. Some of tine sleds owned by private individuals were equipped with bells and bright colored silk flags, and the effect under the broad intense light from the electric lamps was inspiring, to say the least. This evening there will be more tobogganing if the weather continues pleasant.-Hartford Post. ~

Few persons realize how thoroughly they are controlled by prejudice even to their own disadvantage. For many years the treatment of rheumatism. neuralgia, sciatlca and head ache has been by some outward application, and. therefore, without stopping to think that the origln of these troubles must, from necessity, be internal, the weary sufferer continues to rub, rub and find no relief Athlophoros is taken internally, and as a proof that this is the correct principle, 1t cures surely and quickly. The statement of those who have been cured ought to convince the incredulous.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.
 I have for twelve years been great suffer CT from rheumatic neuralgia, subject to at tack suddenly without warning, either day or night, destroying all hope of sleep or rest, making it almost impossible for me to walk or attend to my business and often compel ing me to remain at home day or two and suffering the most excruciating pain as every sufferer knows. Remedies are not wanting, and have tried hundreds of them faithfully, until when I come to review the list, and find am still alive Hook upon myself as miracle With the exception of Athlophor- os, not one of them afforded me slightest benefit. Eminent physicians in this and eth- CT cities have labored faithfully and honestly to help but without affording any perma- nent relief. After much persuasion and long opposition, at last decided to try Ath- lophoros, but without one particle of faith As the result can truly say it has done me more good than all other remedies combined. The first two doses relieved the pain entire ly, and since commenced its use some four weeks ago have had but one slight attack.
