THE GREAT LIBERAL LEADER.
He Insists that Parncll's Continuance as
Chairman will be Disastrous.

LONDON. Eng, Nov. 2G.-At the request
of Mr. Gladstone John Morley has COM
municated to Parncl the following letter
written Monday:
"DEAR Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING arrived ut
certain conclusion with regard to the
continuance Of Parncl's leadership of the
Irish party have seen Mccarthy on my
arrival in town and have inquired from
him whether ! am likely TO receive from
Mr.. Parnel himself any communication
on the subject. Mccarthy replied that he
was unable TO give any information. /
mentioned to him that in lSS2. after the
terrible murders in Phoenix Park, Mr.
Parncll, although totally removed from
nv idea of the responsibility, had sponta-
ncouslv written me and offered to take the
Chiltcrn Hundreds, an offer much to his
honor, but which | thought it my duty TO
decline While clingng To the hope of Il
communication from Parncll, to whomso-
ever addressed, thought it necessary

that parncll's continuance leader would

upon the prosecution OF the Irish cause,

The sitting was private, but outsiders
heard constant cheering as Powers ex-
planned the feeling of the Irish party to-
ward the leader.
Parncl made an address, in which he
thanked his followers for his reelection.
He said it was for the Irish members to
decide if he should lead them. If their
decision had been negative one or there
had been any diversity of opinion among
them, he would have cheertully withdrawn
from public life. Nothing but the con-
viction that his colleagues could still
utilize his services in the common cause
induced him to resume position which,

Sorry to Accept Flowers from Her Lover
 Because They Cost So Much.
 ''Oh! wish he wouldn't!' said dear girl to New York Evening Sun re- porter, as she opened the box and for one long moment of pure delight drank in the exquisite beauty and perfume of the great cluster of volvety jacks" 'They're lovely, and so is he, but I do wish he wouldn't" she repeated as she lifted out the great bunch and thrust them with the most elaborate and artistic carelessneSs into a great cut glass rose bowl.
 ''Why shouldn't he if he wants to?" asked her listener.
 She flushed little, but answered bravely: Because he can't afford it. You see, s she went on heavily, ''I know the dear fellow cares for me-know it just as well as if he had told me so,and L. well, l wouldn't feel distressed over this if You see, young men are so foolish about these things. A flower seems to them the very apotheOsis of gift to a girl, and so it would be if we lived in Already and roses were to be had for the plucl1ing. But we don't; we live in New York, where every bud costs a big, round dollar, and the poetry of flower giving resolves itself into the decided prose of earning the dollar to pay for them. I don't know Toms salary, of course, but I know it isn't Sl0,000 a year, and here's S25 worth of jacks, am sure. If young men only knew it, sometimes girl, if she has any sense at all and any proper appreciation of how money is earned in this world, is really more distressed than gratified when he thinks he is making her hap piest. Wouldn't she be selfish girl if she could be perfectly happy or even coolly compiacent over gift that will last her a few hours, but that she knows will cost the poor fellow who sent it half his weeks salary to pay for"
