said, by lectnring.
Some of the descriptions Of Parnell are
remarkable for inaccuracy. Scarcely
one agrees with another on the make
up and presentabifity OF the Irish leader,
and yet there is nothing remarkable
about him. He is tall, slender and cOur-
teous, and has the air of confirmed i'll
health. His cheeks are pallid, his neck
thin and his shoulders bowed. In
manner he is absolutely and indublta-
bly, the most imperturbable man In
the British parliament. and when it IS
remembered that he is the target night
and day for an endless amount OF abuse
and assailment, his composure is all the
more wonderful. His popularity is not
only with the people, but with the great
men of England, as well. No matter
how bitter the announcement OF the
Irish leader may be by the Cohserya7
tlves, there is always deep and whole
some sentiment of admiration for the
uncrowned king of Ireland. All the
talk about the great sum OF money
which he receives is absurd. Ii he had
an income of S10,0O0.000 year it would
not be conducive to his comfort IN the
slightest degree, for his diet is restrict
ed to the commonest food. he does not
care for fine clothes, and his life IS
passed constantly in study and work.

Halstead and
Foster Shake
Hands.

Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, was settled over lunch at
Cincinnati few days ago as the COVER
nor was OH his way South. The differ
ence orig inaily grew out OF misunder-
standing about the Commercial Gazette
while Foster was governor. His private
secretary was Col. Fred Mussey, the
brilliant newspaper correspondent, who
was also his son-ln-laW. Hal
stead needed money to secure control
Of the paper, and urged Mussey to
come into the business, expecting that
Mussey could get money from his father
in-law, ana presuming that Mussey, in
listening to proposals, really repre-
sented Foster. AS fact, the governor
had no notion of making any newspaper
Investments, and when this at last
dawned on Mr.. Halstead he was wrathy,
believing that Foster was back of the
Mussey negotiations. Halstead has
been more or less aptagonistic to Foster
ever since, and. by the way, has missed
the levef-headed advice of the governor
during that period, as the ballot-box
forgery affair last year demonstrated.

Many years ago he was struggling tor a
living in New York state. Suddenly
he was millionaire: then almost as
suddenly he had not a penny. Again
the scenes shifted and he had more
pennies than an English syndicate.
After four or five years on the top wave
again he was down. This is a brief his
tory of John Harker.
When Commodore Vanderbilt was
searching the United States for mate
for his flyer. Mountain Boy, Mr.. Harker,
then small horse trader, appeared IN
New York and presented Commodore
Vanderbilt with Lady Planet. :,
III think Fve matched your morse, :"
said Mr.. Harker. eff Mountain Boy
and Lady Planet make swift team you
are welcome to my horse. don't want
a cent for her,"
1t was swift span, as everybody
knows. The commodore beat every
team on the road and held the double
team record for years. John Harker
was not forgotten. He was, given
stocks. bonds. ETC.. which made him
worth some $s00,000 in little while.
Harker was not satisfied, and the many
whirls he took to Wall street soon
caused his fortune to disappear. Again
Commodore Vanderbilt placed him on
the top shelf. The erstwhile horse
trader then retired from active specuIa-
ton and lived like king for few
wears until he found his way to Wall
Street once more. His association with
the bulls and bears soon caused sep
aration between him and his coin. and
for the third time he joined the bread
winners. Now he has fair compe-
tency and enjoys life. .d'

Robinson forgery case continues to occupy
attention in financial circles 1t was learned
today that the Randolph National Bank held
note for $2500, pretended to have been
made by S. p. Howard & Co. Robinson,
needing this note as collateral, forged per-
sonal note Of Henry l.. Bryant of this city.
1t was learned that $1,000 in forged notes are
held by Boston parties. This morning, S.
2. Howard, of the firm, telegraphed Per-
nell q Hageman, of the Consolidated Ex-
change. New York, who have done business
with 5. p. Howard 81 Co., asking how the
firms account stood. He was informed that
Robinson was at their place of business last
Saturday, and closed the account. 1t is not
known how much money was paid to Robin
son. About ten days ago Robinson pressed
matters hard for a loan OF $4,000 from the
Arlington National Bank, leaving the sigma
lures of Fl. l.. Bryant, S. p. Howard and E.
Goidthwaite. His request was refused, as
he admitted that he wanted the money to
put into bucket shop. His police courts
accounts are receiving close attention, but
1t will be several days before a final state
ment can be made. Although large amount
OF business was conducted at this court the
past six months, Robinson's cash book does
not show any entries since March. The
comptroller of accounts. E. b. Loring of
Boston was here today, and hastily looked
over the papers. He gave as his opinion
that the city of Brockton will lose quite an
amount. No settlement has been made with
the city since Robinson took the position of
clerk of the court six years age, although he
paid in several amounts each year. The
first year tie amounts aggregated $1,000.
Since then the amounts have been growing
smaller until last year, when he paid In less
than half that sum.

A SAC Rome COMING.
The Horror of tho Quincy Railroad
Accident Recalled.

QUINCY, October 27.-Every person in the
crowd that gathered about the railroad sta
tion at Quincy this morning felt for the sad
and silent father who, bereft Of mother. wife,
sister and two of his little ones, was about
to depart for his southern home with his lit
tie daughter Elizabeth. the only one left to
him OF that happy family which so short
time ago left their bright Southern home,
never, except one. the smallest and weakest
of them all. to return.
All the horror, the wild sorrow and the
terrible suffering of the late railroad disas-
ter were revived in the minds OF those who
witnessed the little company depart Slow
ly, tenderly, with many a loving word and
caress, the little girl, new an invalid for life,
was borne from the house where she has suf-
fered for so long to the train which was to
bear the tiny form and It's brOken-hearted
protector to their desolate freside In Ken
lucky.
The Old Colony Railroad Company had
provided an elegant Pullman car for the use
of the father and daughter and the friends
that were to accompany them among those
IN the party accompanying Mr.. Fenley and
his daughter as far as Boston being Mrs.
Carr. Mrs. Frank FaxoD, Miss Mary Faxon
and DR.. John A. Gordon.
Silently, with but perhaps whispered
word of sympathy now and then, the crowd
about the station watched the train to
which the car was attached move slowly
away, leaving behind it never-to-be-for-
gotten impression on these who watched
what to all appearances was a funeral cor
tege, so sad and solemn was 1t all.
The train left Quincy at 705 o'clock this
morning, and on arriving at the Boston Il
Albany railroad station In Boston, a car was
attached to another train bound for the
South. Dr. Lawrence and other friends met
Mr.. Fenley and his party at the Albany sta
tion. The journey to Louisville will be
made slowly, and it is probable that the spe
cial car bearing the little girl and her at
tendants will not reach her home before

Boston harbor the tide was the highest to
day for long time. At the CambridgepOTt

AT the Boston u Maine railroad bridge the
men who work the draw had to stand up to
their knees in water. No damage to docks
is reported.

A Political dodge of the Campaign In

GLOUCESTER, Mass. October 27.-John
Mcdonald of this place has written letter
to Hon. William Cogswell, member of Con-
gress. in which he says:
"As fisherman and one who voted the
Republican ticket, l have heard 1t repeated
ly uttered that the Republican admins
tration has always guarded and would guard
well the fishing interests and was ready to
resent any insults offered our fishermen
when pursuing their daily and lawful avoca-
tion. Answering the following questions
might assist the political managers in this
end of your district in getting you out of the
dilemma in which you are placed:
First-WhO took away the bounty from
the fishermen that a more liberal govern
ment gave them? Republicans or Demo-
Gratis?
Second-Was it Democratic or Republi-
can commission and. administration that
made the Halifax award, and gave Canada
S5,550, 600 and free entry into the United
States for her products?
Third-Did the present administration
through you as the fshermen's represents a.
tive in Congress, procure counsel to defend
the following American fishermen seized in
the past two years by Canadian officials
Schooner Matte Winship, seized at Cape
Breton. whose owner had to pay $4,000 to
the Canadian government before she was
liberated; schooner Howard Holbrook,

F.. and bonded by owners for $4,000; excep-
tion being taken by their counsel TO the Su-
preme Court of that colony and sustained
by Chief Justice Little, she was restored
to the owners. Was she released through
your influence or that OF the Department of
State or was it through the sympathy and
benevolence a colonial judge had for neglect
ed American fishermen?
Fourth-Has anything been done by you
or the government releasing the schooner
Davy Crockett. recently seized at Souris, p.
K. l.?
Fifth-Have the owners of the schooner

which Is wholly brought from the provinces,
wblch Gloucester fishermen have had con-
troll OF for 80 years, and for which duty you
voted, benefit or detriment to them?
Seventh-ls % cents duty a bushel on

report to the Secretary of the Interior, says
of the Indian question that there has been
for ten years or more, progress in the right
direction and the outlook for the future is
encouraging. 1t has become, says the COM
missioner, the settled policy of the govern
ment to break up the reservations, destroy
tribal relations, settle the Indians upon their
own homesteads. incorporate them into the
national life and deal with them as individ-
ual citizens. public school system is be-
ing rapidly provided whereby every accessi
BILE Indian boy and girl of school age is to be
afforded an opportunity of acquiring the
rudiments of an English education and the
elements of an honorable calling. The Indi-
ans themselves are coming to understand
the present policy of the government and
are showing an increasing readiness, even
desire, to adjust themselves to it. Upon the
subject of the Improvement of the personnel
of the service, Commissioner Morgan says
that, wherever it could be done without too
great hardship, he has endeavored to remove
those immoral, incompetent, inefficient and
unfaithful. No one has been discharged on
account OF politics or religion, and in no sim
gle instance. except for the improvement of
the service. The total school enrolment
during the year was 1887; average attend
ance, 2,232. This is but a small fraction
more than third of the school population.
At the date of the last annual report there
were 133 Indian reservations in the United
States with an aggregate area of 100000
acres. During the year about l3.000.000
acres have been secured by cession from the
Indians. Agreements by which about 1, $780,,

To the Editor of the Press:
Two miles above Mexico Corner is the
Will Holt farm. From that farm to Berry's
mills in Carthage the distance is little
more than five miles, over a very feasible
route for railroad. Commencing at S. A.
Reeds farm mile farther up Swift river.
Berry's mill can he reached by wonderful
ly level road Now, In talking up railroad
to connect with the Rumford Falls Railroad
from Phillips we propose to leave Dlxfield
out and bring Phillips hereto headquaft-
ers and by so doing build two or three miles
of the extension of the Rumfoid Falls Rail
road to the Byron gold regions, the lumber
regions and the lake country. From s. A.
Reeds to Berry'S mills is not more than five
miles. This matter should be looked into
before the Phillips and Dixfeld Railroad Is
decided upon. Men who are familiar with
the 'lay of the land" are certain at the
route here is better than that to Dixfield and
shorter. III. w. PARK.
