Mrs. Parnell's Homestead,

WHO Is IN NEED OF FUNDS

SHE SAYS SHE HAS DECIDED 1T TO HER SON,
WHO Is IN NEED OF FUNDS.
Mrs. Della S. Parnell, who lectured in Phila.
delphia yesterday evening, afterward told New
York Sun reporter that her homestead and
property at Bordentown, N. j., had all been
decided over to her son, Charles Stewart Par
nell, of Ireland. Speaking further on the SUBJ
ject, she said:
Il have had this matter under consideration
for long time, and have at last conveyed the
house. its furniture. and the other property
over to my son, who, have no doubt, will in
the near future be in need OF all the money
that can manage to give him. My reason for
transferring my property to Charles is that he
is without funds and believe that when the
Parnell commission, which is now sitting in
London will have finished their work, my son
will be as poor some of the people he is
struggling to obtain liberty for.
'The transfer of the property was recorded
some months ago, and although at first Charles
was unaware of what had done, he is now
fully acquainted with the facts, and when it is
necessary for him to do so he will draw on the
property for funds. The oldshomestead is the
only thing possess in the world and in my
declining years l feel that it can be placed in
no better hands than that of my son. In it
intend to pass the remainder of my life, if pos
sible, and at my death Charles can do as he
pleases with it.
my son mas large interests In Ireland in the
shape of farm and other manufactures, but
the income from them is mainly given up to
the poor and his workmen, and what money he
has is contributed by his American friends to

country by the marquis Of Lorne while that
aristocrat was governor-general of Canada. He
has been in the service of Levi P. Morton four
or five years, and is a sort of example to the
other family coachmen of 5th avenue in deport-
ment. The manner in which he tips his hat
upon being questioned answering, his stiff
backed pose on his seat, his handling of the
reins and whip-in everything he is taken as q
model. Even the livery stable proprietors, in
fitting out equipages that are meant to be mis-
taken for the private turnouts Of their CUSTOM
ers, are accustomed to point White out to their
drivers as an exhibit Of what they ought to aim
at. But Mrs. Morton's carriage has interior
comforts that are not for show. A diminutive
clock is set into the side where she can see il
