MRS. PARNELL'S POVERTY.
Mother of tho Irish Leader Suffcrin;
for Want of I God.


Dr. jenkins of Ttenton n. j., was cal ed
to the residence of Mrs. Della Parnell, the
mother of the Irish patriot, for the purpose of
treating that lady. He told a reporter that
he found her verging on complete collapse,
She is suffering from congestion of the
brain and heart. When he called she was
about to dine on vegetables without either
bread or coffee. There is nothing upon
which to feed the live stock. The servant
had sold some wood with which to buy food
for her over Sunday.
Actor w. ]. Seaman, having read in 4
morning paper the story of the poverty of
Mrs. Della S. Parnell, mother of the Irish
patriot, wrote asking her to consent to a
performance by his company for her benefit,
and meanwhile to accept an advance of a
sum sufficient to pay the interest and taxes
on her home, Ironsides, " at Bordentown,
j. Mrs. Parnell replied, accepting the
actors offer. Mr.. Seaman sent her check
for 1858 tonight. Before December l he
will give special performance Of 'Mylcs
Aroonn at the Star theatre, the entire pro-
ceeds of which will be sent TO Mrs. Parnell.

PRACTICE TRAINING SHIPS.
The New Hampshire May be Corr
dcmned and here Is no Other.


The report of the board of survey upon
the training ship New Hampshire will
probably result in that vessel being con-
demned. The board say that to put her in
to any sort of condition in which she can be
used will cost 80 per cent. of the cost of a
new vessel, and such extensive repairs are
not permissible under the law, The
loss of the services of the New
Hampshire seriously interlcreS with tile
work of the practice training system. Com
modore Ramsay says he has not yet been
able to devise plan by which the boys who
were taken out Of the New Hampshire last
summer can be made sailors while on shore
and at present there is no vessel to take her
place The only one that is considered in
this relation is the Ossipee, which has
been recently put out of commission,
What will be her ultimate fate is yet TO
be determined by the bureau chiefs Com
modore Wilson of the bureau of consruc-
ton and repair is understood to be in favor
Of converting her into a sailing vessel. If
this is done, she will probably be utilized
as a practice training ship. Some Of the
navy officials are of opinion that several
small sail vessels should be constructed for
the practice work in order to obtain the re-

BALTIMoREs SECOND TRIAL.
A Speed of 2O.2 Knots Developed in
-Four Hours Run,

The new cruiser Baltimore has made her
second trial in four hours steady run on a
northeast by east course from Cape IIenlo-
pen. The speed She developed was even
more remarkable than on her first trip, be-
ing 2O.2 knots an hour against 1913 knots
before, but if she developed more or less

A SWINDLER CAUGHT.
Worcester Merchants Victimizcd by
Forged Checks.

Forged Checks.
Detective O'Day of the Worcester, Mass,
police force, has nipped in the bud a very
clever and extensive system for dcfrauding
Worcester merchants by means of forged
checks. The forger gave his name at the
police station as Henry Martin, and said he
belonged in Boston, He came to Worcester
about week ago, and began negotiations in
w. A. Lytlc e Co. store for a heavy over
coat. Lytle suspected his customer and
notified the police Detective O'nay
awaited his coming at Burbank's iewciry
store, where he was expected to call for
goods, and three other officers were stationed
in citizens clothes in other S ores The
forger turned up at Burbank's first, and
took Sl75 watch, rendering in payment Il
check for the amount bearing the forged sig
nature of w. f.. Rice, president Of the Wor-
cester Wire Company. While the icwelcr
was making out the receipt for the check
ODay stepped up and arrested the forgcr.
Upon searching him at the station there
were found i'll his possession several of the
Hudson cards, $21jin money in three pac,la-
ges and five forged checks signed w. f. Rice,
three of which were for 500 each, one for
SIPS and one for $40. The officers suspect
that the money was received in change for
other forged checks. 1t is expected other
victims Of the fellows f1rgcrics will turn
up
The forger had carriage and driver at
the door at BurbankS, and was evidently in
tending to make the rounds of the mer-
chants with whom he had been negotiating
and then skip the town. He is a fellow OF
elleminate manners and smooth address,
and is evidently an accomplished sWindicr.

We notice that the proprietor of the
Hartray farm, Mr.. Pixon, has built new
ice-house. and we shall expect to see many
much needed improvements on that place.
The oldest inhabitant is overhauling his
almanacs trying to discover when we have
had such fine winter with such fine roads,
Those wishing to fill their ice houses can
get plenty of the ice up at the north pole,
but there's none here to speak of.
The chronic grumblers who always are
dissatisfied with the state of the weather
should take a rest now. We should be
willing to take the weather as it comes, see
ing we have had such beautiful fall and
winter weather. People in other sections
Of the country have not Jared SO we'll. In
Montrose Co., Penn. heavy rains set in
early and continued all the fall and those
who did not dig their potatoes in the mud
have them in the ground yet. In Russell
Co, Kansas, crops were a complete failure,
one man having SO acres of corn with not
an ear on the whole piece. Thus we who
live in this fertile part Of Wisconsin have
much to be thankful for, and we only real
ize it when we hear of others in worse
light.
