MR.. PARNELL EXPLAINS.
WHAT HE MEANT BY HIS RECENT REFER
ENCE TO SECRET SOCIETIES,
caoss-ExAx1NATIoN OF THE IRISH LEADER
THE PHYSICAL FoRcEn PARTY
AND THE IEAGuE.

AND THE LEAGUE.
London, May THE Parnell Commission re-
sumed It's sitting to-day.
Mr.. Parnell upon taking the stand said ne
desired to correct that part Of his evidence gwen
on Friday in relation to the statement made by
him in the House of Commons concerning the
non-existence of secret societies in Ireland. Upon
referring to the Hansard reports of the proceed
ings of the House Of Commons he found that his
remarks, which had been quoted by Attorney
General Webster, referred particularly to Ribbon
ism, and not to secret conspiracies generally
His remarks, therefore, were fairly accurate
statement of the facts as Rbbonlsm at that time
practically did not exist in Ireland.
The crosseXamnaton of the witness was then
resumed Mir. Parnell said he had not heard
of 100 guneas being paid for the defence Of
moonhghters at the Cork Assizes in 1881. IL he
had been asked to make such payments he should
in those days have approved OF them If he had
reason to believe the law was being strained
against a man, but his general rule was to limit
such payments much as possible. lie re-
membcred ore case in which he had sanctioned
the payment OF money for the fence Of
prisoner, and the man was acquitted In an
other case he reimbursed Mr.. Harris, who had
made himself responsible for the costs Of the
defence, but at the same time witness instructed
Mir Harris not TO undertake in the future the
defence OF accused moonlighters.
Mr.. Iarncll said that he sometimes paid
money from his own private account IN behalf
of the League. He did not object to an inspec-
tion of bis accounts
Attorney General Webster here began q pro-
tractcd examination Of the witness as to his
banking transactions, but failed to elicit any
thing Of note.
Being further catechised upon his knowledge
Of General Millrn and other members Of the
Physical Force party, Mr.. Parncll declared
that majority OF the members Of that party were
utter strangers to him. lie had never heard that
Mr. Egan had Joined the Clan ma Gael. He would
regret to find that Mr.. Egan had rejOned the
physical force" party, but he should not think
such "a cOurS" unnatural
Referring 10 his speeches made in America, as re-
ported in " The Irish World" the witness said he
could not accept the reports as correct. Mr. Ford
garbled the speeches in order TO suit the taste
of the readers of The Irish World" The Wit
ness had never made this statement publicly
before because il was not necessary.
Referring to secret societies, Mr.. IarncIl salo
be considered that a person who joined the I"agu"
and continued 10 h" n member OF the Gamma
Gael acted to the injury Of the Leagues policy.
Any member of the League who would advocate
the use Of dynamite would be a traitor

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

The following is suggested as warning
to the many friends of Alpha Lodge 424,
for their consideration, and is true story
as related to Us:
my husband is a model man. He
never goes out to a lodge of en- evening,
because an opposed to lodges and he al
ways desires to please me. He brings me
home every cent of his wages each week,
and, therefore, does not pay any sssess-
ments and dues into Alpha Lodge, Knights
of Honor, as his best friend, who resides
next door, does. We enjoy each others
company and our children are growing up,
he loves Us and we are happy" Such
were the words that only few weeks ago
the wife of a railroad man said to her
neighbor. Two days after, home they
brought the mangled remains of him,
whose right arm had fought FOR his family,
from whose lips words of happiness had
flown, and whose knee had been the roos'-
ing place of little Ned and Mary. With
reverence and uncovered heads a jury
viewed their fellow citizen; kind friends
followed the remains to Gods Acre; the
bills were paid, bat what WAS left for her
he loved so much? Nothing but four I'M
provided, fatherless children, weeping,
broken-hearted widow with thousands OF
miles separating her from friends il Eu-
rome whence she had followed her bus
band. and she now the object of charity,
nothing left for her now to do, but to pro-
vide for herself and little family BY rubbing
daily at the wash-tub. But how was IL
with the wife and children of their neigh
Dor. be having shared the same fate by the
same accident? He YVES a member OF the
Knights of Honor. and as soon as the ter
rible accident had been made known to the
members of the Order they were soon at the
home OF their deceased brother consoling
the widow and the orphans, arranging for
the funeral, assuming the responsibility OF
the expense of the same until the time
when the death benefit of 81, 600 would be
paid her, and at the time fixed for the flu
neral ceremonies burying the brother with
the impressive ceremonies of the Order
After about 80 days the benefit is paid
and the trustees recommend the widow to
purchase a small home. She does so, and
is placed beyond want, because she was of
different disposition from her neighbOr
and desired her husband to unite with
Alpha and devote one evening of each
week to the fraternsl principles of the
knights of Honor and to pay promptly. both
assessments and dues.
The moral is plain.
