A Valuable Prescription.

A medical practitioner, while on a
visit to a certain family, was asked
to prescribe appropriate treatment
for a sprain of the foot, which the
Scotch domestic OF the establish
ment had just suffered while at work.
The domestic was accordingly ex-
amined, and the doctor called for
writing-paper in order to write a
prescription. After writing out par
ticulars for a liniment whereWith to
rub the part affected, the doctor
turned to the servant and said.
handing her the paper. Rub your.
foot with this liniment three or four
times a day, and I'll call in a few
days and see how it is getting on. 2
Accordingly he called again in the
course of a week, and found the foot
remarkably well. And did you use
the bottle regularly?'' he inquired. !.

The House that Washington
, Built.

Few people, even in Washington,
seem to be aware that the only house
which the immortal George Wash
ington ever built in that city is still
standing and in a reasonably good
state of preservation. It is situated
near the capitol grounds, not far
from the Baltimore & Ohio depot, on
North Capitol street. The house was
originally of three stories, but the
march of improvements caused the
street on which it stands to be grad
cd, and when this was done two
more stoaries were added to the
building, which is now used as a
hotel. Some of the rooms are pretty
much in the same condition as they
were when occupied by the Washing
tons in 1892. A few old pieces Of
furniture are said to be secreted
about the house yet, and the int
rior of the place shows it's age. It is
Il peculiar thing that none of the
many guide books mentions this
house as having any historical value,
and it is never pointed out by old
residents to their country cousins
when they come here on a sightseeing
expedition. Boston Globe.

The Irish Members in America Send

z CHICAGO, DE. c1 Tonight at 10 IN.
three Of the six Irish ENJOYS in America
were pennlng, in room in the Grand Pa
chic hotel, behind closed doors, the last
strokes of the document that severed their
old-tlme connection with their leader, Par
nell. At the same time, in private resi-
dence two miles away on one of the boule-
wards, the three other ENJOYS including
two whose names were attached to that
document, were dining in company with
Mrs. Parnell, the aged mother of that same
longtime chie1tain

out the document that had been agreed

Those who fulfilled their engagement made
for the party a fortnight or more ago to
dine with Mrs. Parnell were Dillon, T. D.
Sullivan, who agreed to the paper against
her son, and Timothy Harrington, whose
sense OF persona. loyalty, it was reported,
was too strong to down, even though it
isolated him completely from his fellows.
So far as could be learned NIrs. Parnell

done in the closed room down town. The
dinner had a score or more persons pres

After the dinner, at which there was no

after this John Dillon withdrew and hur-
ried back to the hotel. The manifesto to
which his name was attached had already
been nearly all given out as it was written,
few sheets at a time. The bulk of the
document was at that very moment on the
desks in the London newspaper offices,
where it had been cabled word bv word as
rapidly as it crossed the threshold of the
room where O'Brien. Gill and O'Connor
were weighing their phrases.
OBrien was deeply agitated during the
writing. His cheeks were feverish in ap-
pearance and his voice, whether from emo
ton or the tax Of his speeches the night be-
fore, was broken and choked. Gill looked
very white, and, like 'Brien, seemed deep
ly affected. Singularly enough, T. P.

temperament better than any of the Others

PARNELL'S TROUBLE

recent Events in London Seem to
Warrant Suspicion to 49,.
This Effect. a-+

LONDON, Dec. 2.-Mr. Parnell, by tele-
graph, invited those of his colleagues who
were favorable to his retention of the lea
dershlp to meet him Saturday evening at
the Westminster Palace hotel. Twenty
four OF those invited met Mr.. Parnell and
together they discussed the situation. Mr.
Parnell Informed those present Of the rela-
TORS between himself and the Liberal lead
ers and expressed a determination to fight
to the last.
Another canvass Of the Parnellitc partv
was made yesterday for the purpose of
1orecastirg the result of the vote to be taken
at to-moIroW's meeting regarding Mr.. Par
nell's retention 1t showed that Messrs,
Justin Huntley Mccarthy, Mcneil, Nc
kenna and Tuite are now pledged against
Parnell, and Messrs. Leamy, James P.
O'Gorman- Mahon and Clancy for him. 1t
Is estimated that forty eight members of
the party will vote against Mr.. Parnell and
tWenty-four for him. The votes of seven
are doubtful. This estimate does not in
clude the delegates now in America.
Rumors are current tonight that Mr.
Parnell has been during the day in private
consultation with two members of the Sal
ISbury cabinet, one of them Lord Knuts-
'O1|, WIZ ID hllONH 70 possess Inc peculiar
personal confidence Of Lord Salisbury.
Nothing is known as to the object or mean
ing Of the consultation, but surmises are
atoat. apparently countenanced by promi-
nent Conservatives, that an understanding
may be arrived at between Lord Salisbury
and Mr.. Parnell, the former to pass the land
purchase bill as amended in accord with
Mir. Parnell's views, and also to concede at
least partial home rule to Ireland, in the
form of provincial councils for the admin
lStratlon Of the local affairs Of the several
provinces. This would be satisfactory to
Ulster, and allay the strenuous opposition
which home rule has encountered in that
section of Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone and Sir William Vernon
ftarcOurt were in conference Saturday. 1t
IS understood that Harcourt will lead the
Liberal side of the debate in the house of
commons this week
There is rumor that Mr. Parnell has
offered to retire voluntarily if Mr.. Glad
stone will sign paper pledging himself to
include in his next home rule bill certain
points specified by ParnelI.
The question Of expelling Mr.. Parnell
from membership will be brought before
the committee of the National Liberal club.
