PARNELL'S GREAT WORK.
How He Gradually Formed the Ag-
gressive Irish Parliamentary Party.
Labouchere in London Truth.

LabOuchere in London Truth.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Parnell has re-
veaIed no new fact When Mr.. FARRELL first be-
came member of parliament the Irish paria-
mentary party was under Mr.. Butt, clever and
brilliant man. but who was neither trusted nor
worthy of trust The majority of the Irish
members of parliament who followed him were
more anxious for office than for home rule
Outside parliament the Irish both in Ireland
and America, distrusted the parliamentary
party, and regarded physical force as the only
means to secure for Ireland her Just rights
Ireland was hOneycombed with secret societies.
Mr.. Parnell perceived that if parliamentary ac-
ton was to replace revolutionary tactics the
former must be conducted upon very different
lines from those adopted before. BY his deter
mined energy he forced Ireland to the front of
parliament and made the Irish question the
parliamentary question of the day.
He neither denounced Irishmen who did not
share his views nor did he inquire what had
been the views of any individual. But he in
ylted them all to join him. urged all to be par
hamentarians, much as the Apostles called
upon both saints and sinners to become
Christians. As the party grew both Fenianism
and the secret societies lost their hold upon the
Irish people. until at length the Irish were
banded together in one great parliamentary
party Mr. Parnell's mode of winning adhe-
rents was to assure all that if only they sup
ported him in his parliamentary action home
rule must eventually be won. and SO long as the
Irish believe that he will win it for them SO
long will he retain his power
His great glory is that he has substituted par
liamentary action for the outrages and revou-
tionary tactics that were rife before he came to
the fore. OF course, i'll the Irish party AS in
every party. there are men who either dsbe-
lleve IN parliamentary action or who find that
their occupation is gone. So long as their
countrymen believe, many of them see them
selves obliged to accept Mr.. Parnelrs gospel
because 1T IL popular. Some of them still re-
main obdurate. Mr.. Parnell has pursued the
even tenor of his way, neither ruling the former
out of the fold nor shutting the gate against
| those who persist in remaining outside To
blame him for this is to blame him for being
a statesman,

The Father of FOrty-One Children,

An Allentown special to the Philad elphia
Inquirer says: The recent death near this city
of man named Heffner developed the fact
that he was the father of family Of forty-one
children. He was dwarfed hunchback. and
not by any means of prepossessing appearance.
He was born in Berlin in 1915. and coming to
this country in 1913. settled in Reading Until
his death he made his living by collecting and
selling rags and paper.
He was first married in Germany in 1840 In
eight years his wife bore him seventeen
children. The first and second years of their
marriage she gave birth to twins For four
successive years afterward she gave birth to
single son, and died soon afterward. OF the
seventeen children she left the oldest was only
seven years of age. Heffner engaged Young
woman to look after his large brood of babies
and also soon began to lay siege to the woman's
heart. She capitulated, and three months
after the death of the first Mrs. Heffner she be-
came Mrs. Hetfner, No. 2. She presented her
husband with two children in the first two
years. In the next five wears she added ten to
the family. giving birth 10 twins every year.
Then for three she added only one a year
She died before another year came round OF
the thirty-two children John Heffner had been
presented with twelve had died. The twenty
that were left did not appear to be any obstacle
to young widow with one child consenting to
become the third wife of the Jolly hunchback.
The third Mrs. Heffner became the mother of
nine children in ten years, and the content
ment and happiness of the couple were pro-
verbal His widow and most of the TWENTY
eight survivors of the forty-one children re-
side in Reading. They are thrifty and respect
| able people.

BISHOPS DEATH.
He was Stricken Down While Engaged
I'm Performing His Tricks.

Washington Irving Bishop, the mind reader,
whose death was announced in yesterdays STAR,
vas seized with catalepsy while giving an exhi-
bition of his powers at the Lambs club on Sum-
day night. He had performed his well-known
dagger feat, which he concluded by pretending
to stab Louis Aldrich, the actor, who occupied
one of the seats at the table. Subsequently
Mr. Bishop requested Mr.. Green to think of
word. and he Bishop would name il by plac-
ing his hand on Green's forehead. Before he
could conclude the feat the mind reader was
seized with catalepsy. Doctor Irwin was called
and pronounced the attack hysterical catalepsy.
Mr.. Bishop removed to an upper room and
fifteen minutes later put to bed. He recovered
shortly and persisted in concluding his mind
reading feat. He did so, and while in the act,
at am, he was again stricken with spasms,
and after that began sinking.
Drs. Lees and Irwin remained with him all
night. Mr.. Bishops wife and mother were no.
tilted Of his death, and his body was removed
TO an undertaken establishment on 9th avenue.
Mr.. Bishop had been prominently before the
public for the last twelve or fifteen years as a
mind reader. He was originally an eXposer of
spiritualism. and afterward became interested
in mental phenomena, and travelled all over the
world giving exhibitions.
VICTIM OF COCAINE.
About year ago he became a complete slave
10 the cocaine naDlt- Inc misery resulting
from morphia or hasheesh indulgence was as
nothing compared to the horror which that
habit brought with il. He had married Helen
G. Lord. of Boston. in 1850. and she found him,
when under the influence of that drug per-
feet maniac. He abused and beat her shame
fully in his delirium. Last January a fearful
scene occurred between them at the Maxwell
house. in Nashville. Mrs. Bishop was heard
screaming terribly. and when the door was
broken in she was found covering on the floor
in tears, with Bishop standing over her whip in
hand. She at once began suit for absolute
divorce in this city and Bishop started for the
Sandwich Islands. At San Francisco he be-
came unmanageable and was put in an insane
asylum, where he remained several weeks.
March q his wife got decree of divorce. On
the same day he fell before large audience at
Minneapolis in an epileptic fit and remained
unconscious a whole day. Four days later he
married again to a woman he had previously
lived with. He did this to protect their
daughters good name.

No Boy kinglet Wanted I'm Ireland.

The Dublin Freeman, referring to the sug-
gestion of the London Times and Standard to
appoint Prince Albert Victor viceroy of Ire
land. says the Irish people care very little
whether the Office of yiceroy be abolished or
not, nor does it matter to them who comes to
the castle to assume the duties given up in dis
gust by Lord Londonderry; but a shadow
prince in Dublin castle would be the worst of
all appointments. II the Prince of Wales him
self should undertake to perform in Ireland the
social duties he so felicitously discharged in
England perhaps the change would be for the
better but boy kinglet and a bread-and-but-
ter court would crown with ridicule an institu-
ton linked with 10000 shams and crimes. The
English liberals are also unsparing Of the con-
domination of the proposal.

QUEER USES OF WORDS.
Curious Expressions Peculiar to the
North and South.

Rebecca Hart in the Chuatauquan
II seems the most natural thing in the world
for a southerner in calling another person to
say. 10. Johnr' but it always seems to amuse
our friends across the way. 1t is the 'O' that
excites their merriment and in attempting to
give the peculisrity they often represent US as
saying. :;'Ho! john" which we never do say.
Another southern expression which always
sounds queer to northern ears is the use of the
word mighty as an adverb But to those accus-
toned to it, Mighty pretty" conveys an idea
of beauty that the overburdened northern word
''lovely" doesn't reach. Turning to Webster to
see 1t it must be given up, find that it is al
lowable when used colloquially. Good We
should never want to use it except colloqui-
ally
In the north a man fills his wagon "box'
with corn and draws 1T to town. in the south
he fills his wagon bed" with corn and "hauls"
1t to the same place.
In New England they say 1.-The going (mean-
ing the condition of the roads, is bad; in the
south they say 1.-THE travelling is bad. Per
haps TO saw the roads are bad would be more
Ineligible than either.
Southerners say like" for ''as if'-as ''She
looked like she wanted to 60" They laugh at
IT IN the north and in the same breath say .'as''
Tor that - don't know as / ever heard it
here'-and then the southerner laughs and
both are happy. So ingrained are both express
slons. however. that the delinquents are seldom
conscious of the delinquency
A large proportion of grammatical mistakes
are common TO the uneducated wherever thew
are found, but there are some which are SO
peculiar to certain sections that their use set
ties at once the question of whether the person
using them Is from the north or the south
The expression Il seen for Il saw is a very
common mistake in the south and rare in the
north, while Il see him yesterday for Il saw
him yesterday" SO common. even among edu-
Gated people, at the north, is never heard in
the south.
This makes it difficult for writer's who have
never hved III certain section TO initiate sue
cessfully the dialect Of that people They are
apt to be betrayed into the mistake of putting
into the mouths of certain class in another
part OF the country such words as they would
hear from the same class in their own section.
This. undoubtedly, Is the difficulty which MANY
northern writers find in truthfully pOrtraying
the negro dialect. They take as models the
negroes they have known. and Judge. incOr-
rectly, that the talk of a southern negro would
be the same; consequently, practiced ear can
almost always detect the difference between
one who assumes familiarity and one who Is
ito this manner born The incongruity of
making southern negro say ''Whar be you
golnT as We saw recently in some story. is in
eXpress1bly ludlcrOus to one familiar with their
dialect. He might say ''Whar YOU goin'?" or
"Whar is you gOin'?' but never ''Whar be YOU
golnF' The honor of the expression You be-
belongs exclusively to the north What he
would be most likely to say is, ..Whar you
gwine!"
