He Will Resist the Scheme to the Last.

Hope Unless ParneII Retires.
LONDON, Nov. est is stated on good
authority that Mr.. Parnell will issue a
manifesto to the Irish people to-day
and that he asks them in the mean
while to suspend judgment.
Mr.. Parnell is now convinced that the
movement to drive him from political life
has been started by the Radicals of the
Liberal party for the purpose of destroy
ing the independence of the Irish Ma
tional party and making it mere ap-
pendage to the Liberal party, and that it
is specially in revenge for the attitude he
assumed on the question of the royal
grants last summer. He is determined to
resist this move to the last. He will
make some most important statements
to the Irish party, supported by docu-
mentary evidence, which he will publish,
and which, he is confident, will be de-
cisive. =.
The Irish party is literally resolved
into its first elements. There is no cohe-

quiescent, but he is now determined to
take the field, and will Immediately issue
a manifesto to his Cork constituents.

Gus sufferers complain that they are weak, tired
and exhausted; that they have poor or variable
appetite, no strength, no nerve; they become ir-

cases there are pains and aches in various
parts of the body. And there is often indigestion,
dyspepsia, belching of wind, dull. cloudy head
and general dispirited feeling Sleepless, rest
less wakeful nights follow. The brain tires
easily, and there NAV be tendency to drowsi-

The struggle which will take place
this winter between Mr. Blaine and
Speaker Reed for the control of the re-
publican party machine will be decided
ly exciting, and the democrats are very
much interested in it, because for one
thing, it embraces the fate of the force
bill. If Mr. Blaine becomes the dictator
of the party's policy the force bill will at
once be shelved for good and all, and re-
ciprocity, which has in a sense become
Mr. Blaine's special trademark, will be
used as salve for the many and grievious
wounds that the republican party has
inflicted upon the country. If Mr. Har-
rison in his annual message recommends
the passage of the force bill, as it is be-
lieved that sshe will, it will show that
Speaker Reed s...more influence with
him than Mr. Blaine but if on the other
hand the message ignores the force bill,
then it may be presumed that Mr. Blaine
is still in supreme command at the white
house.

tsut the Little Married Man Made Every
Thing All Right.
The car was filled with excursionists
returning from the exposition, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Every seat con-
tanned pair of Buckeye lovers. The
last bear died In Ohio some time ago,
but the art of hugging has survived. 1t
was the midnight express, and the air
was right chilly. but not soul noticed
that except poor, little married man
who sat alone in the half seat by the
unlighted stove. He looked down the
car and noticed that apparently all the
young men were one-armed; at least but
Dne arm of each male was visible. The
light in the car was very low, however,
and that may account for the phenom.
onon.
Lovers like twilight; if Adam and Eve
did not sing 'tIn the Cleaning it was
because they knew fresher song. And
it was twilight in that car, for all three
double lamps were turned down very
low, and before the train was out
of the Allegheny yards the flame in
one of them had sputtered, fared a
moment, and expired. Of course every
girl in the car was alarmed when the
gloom deepened. Every girl got a
little closer to her protector, and few
minutes later, when the second lamp
began to show signs of collapse-the
flame leaping up frantically as if afraid
to die-about a dozen pianissimo
screams came from as many feminine
throats.
The conductor opened the door few
minutes later and the draught finished
lamp number two. This left one lamp
Rlight at the rear end of the Car. How
Gnxiously it was observedl Would it
go out? 1t looked consumptive, but
there vas no draught to expedite its de-
cease. at last the train whist1ed for
it's frs stop and the little married man
came out of his corner by the stove to
alight. He had been a bachelor once,
and he remembered it as he laid his
hand on the door-knob. The train had
not stopped, but he opened the door,
and Immediately q gust of wind muir
dered the last lamp. AS he stood in
the doorway inhaling cinders and river
fog he had the satisfaction of hearing a
sweet, low voice murmur behind him:
s'Oh, George, was so afraidr'
''Of what, my darling?"
''That that lamp would never GO

NAMES OF VESSELS.

Sow torts, Heroes and the Ladies Are
Remembered by the shippers.
Only few OF the great names OF his
tory adorn the wave-kissed counters of
deep-sca craft, according to the Record
of American and Foreign Shipping"
The divine William of Avon does not
seem to have a big place in the memory
of his nautical kinsmen of the tight
little island he has insmortalized. One
little British bark bears his name, with
all the letters allowa ble-Sh akespeare.
On two German ships he appears as
Shakespeare and SHAKESPEARE. Another
German ship. originally Yankee clip
per, was also christened in his honor.
She went to pieces after frightful
struggle with a hurricane last winter.
Her captain and part of her crew, who
were rescued by passing steamer after
several days of great suffering, said they
never wanted to hear the bard's name
again.
A modern poet and dramatist, Hendrix
Ibsen, has achieved nearly as much sea
glory as Shakespeare. Two Norwegian
barks are called after him. Norway
also honors Longfellow with two barks
and America dedicates schooner and a
steamer to his memory. Nova Scotia
rescues Mark Twain from utter oblivion
on the main by naming bark after
him. one American schooner carries
the name of Whittier to many domestic
ports John Wesley traverses the seas
on an American harkentine and Nor
wcgian bark. John Bunyan makes
progress as a sea pilgrim only on a
Yankee coaster. The mermaids see the
Ill
of a British steamship. The great Ma
poleon is remembered only by the own
ers of an American schooner and Nor
wegian bark. A British steamship, a Nor
wegian bark and a British schooner
carry the fame of Byron around the
world. Tennyson is not caressed by
waves in any port. Oliver Cromwell
sails along our coasts on two schooners
and Robert Emmett on one. George
Washington has international sea fame.
His name appears on French and an
Italian steamship, three American
schooners, German ship and an Italian
bark. Three Norwegian barks, Chilian
| schooner and three American schooners
are named after Franklin.
Feminine names are, as they have
| been since men first went to sea, the
| most popular on sailing vessels. There
are only two Nancys (the name dear
in song to the sailors hearth
and just as many Susans in the
record. There are three Mauds, four

THE far-reaching effects of the recent
democratic victory will be more thor
oughly appreciated when it is considered
that the democratic Legislatures elected
in states Heretofore republicans will do
the work of reappointment of both con-
gressional and legislative districts. 1t
goes without saying that the gerryman'
ders of republican Legislatures will be
corrected, and that in the new division
the democrats will have fair chance.
The work of the legislators elected on
the 4th of November will not end at the
conclusion of their terms, but will con-
tinue to be felt for ten years. 1t was a

ssING SING, N. Y, Nov. 2S.-The counsel
fo7 Wood, the negro murderer who is to
be electrocuted next week, will make an
effort to-day to have some Judge of the
Uaited States Court grant a writ Of habeaa
Corpus on the ground that colored men
we're excluded from the grand and petit
Suries that indicted and convicted Wood.
IT the writ is refused it is not likely that
any other move will be made.
Warden Brush has about completed all
arrangements for the execution. A test
yesterday of the the fatal machinery was
highly satisfactory. A strong, healthy
horse was electrocuted.. A current of ], 500
volts was sent through the horses body.
Death was nstantaneous-quick as the
ighting's flash.
Although the Warden can put Wood to
death at any time after midnight Sun
day, it is not probable that the execu-
Jion will take place before the middle of
the week. DR.. Carlos Mcdonald called at
the prison yesterday and inspected the
machinery. 1t is not likely that any tests
of the apparatus will be made before
Sunday, and possibly none will be made
until Monday.
Wood sent for Deputy Warden Con-
naughton before his breakfast and re.
ceived him with the broadcast smile OF
welcome that he has yet shown to any
visitor save Father Creeden and Sister
Domenca. Mr.. Connaughton inquired
what he wished. Wood replied that he
wanted to ask him about whom his
priest should be at the execution "next
week"
"Any one you may choose" replied Mr.
Connaughton, with sympathetic glance
at his friendless prisoner.
"Well, den, Mr.. Connaughton," wal
Woods rQr1vy 6F rorknn 70 Father
Creeden. He's very kind to me. I love

SIDE by side in adjoining columns of a

ed two stories. One related how the
great Italian faster is struggling to live
without eating. The other told of the
suffering of poor couple who are starry

life are seldom more strongly presented
than they were in this accidental COLO
