re Got the Turtle.

However much Of an unbeliever he NAV have

IL was this way: The desire of the proprietors

In each department should be ready for the
most minute inspection of hotel critics And
on the morning of the day the heads of the de,

for Hilton's reply the chef rushed back to ms
department. A moment later Hilton found him
standing at the foot of the supply chute the
picture Of frenzied despair. Hilton began to
reason With him, and suggested as a way out OF
his difficulty that he make soup out of some
thing else But this only added horror to the
expression on the chefs face

Cleveland and rammsar.

Tsnmsny i hostile TO Mr.. Cleveland. and
does not favor bis nomination for President
II 1872. From present Indications. however.
/ he VIII be nominated notwithstanding
I Tanmaly's opposition. And it would not
be at al surprising if the greater part Of
the New York delegation to the national
I convention should favor him. He Is Isuch
more popular In New York than the news
I papers Of that city would lead one TO be-
( lieve. The mention Of his name AZ public
I gatherings is always followed by hearty ap-
| plausa. The New York newspapers have
/ very little u say in his favor. For reasons
not necessary to explain, ne is not favorite
with them.
In the west and south he is the only man
who IS seriously thought of in connection
with the next democratic presidential nom
ination, and if the democratic natioual con-
ventio1 were 70 meet tomorrow be would
be nominated by acclamatiJl. TIE reasons
for this strong sentiment in his behalf are
that ne Is regarded as the lesdsr of the
tariff reform movement, and his simiu stra-
ton Is remembered as one Of the very best
the country ever had. Even republicans
admit that be was an excelle IT President,
and there are thousands Of them in all parts
Of the country who would vote for him if
he should De presidential candidate again
Gov. Hill Is popular IN New York, and be
has small following outside of that city.
His following is not large enough, however,
anywhere TO justify the belief that he will
be the party's presidential candidate in
1892 In the recsns campaign he did good
work for his party and won golden opinions
from democrats everywhere, but his popu-
larity. in comparison with that OF Mr..
Cleveland, Is comparatively Insignificant.
There viii be a great deal said in his behalf
within the next eighteen months, but, in
spite Of all his friends can DO for him, he
will not be prominent factor in the next
national democratic conventio1.
1t is true that Mr.. Cleveland may make
some mistakes before the nominating con-
vention meets in 1892 that will destroy his
chances for the nomination, but the proba-
biiities are that he will not. He has excel
lent judgment, and having avoided making
serious mistakes thus far, since leaving the
presidential Office, the chances are that he
will not make any, and that he will be
more popular year and half hence than
he Is now. Tammany will make a great
mistake If 1t ]ntinues to oppose him. 1t
cannot prevent his nomination, and the
proper thing for it to do, therefore, is to
submit gracefully to the inevitable.

4 New Story.

The publication Of new story will be
begun in the MORNING NEWS, Sunday,
Nov so. and in the WEEKLY News Dec. 4.
1t is entitled, by Mutual Consent" and is
by F. Aarsden Sutchffe. It is story of
strong and original cast. The following is
q brief outline of it:
A British officer, dying. entrusts the care
Of his young and beautiful daughter to
brother officer. the younger son of bar
oDet. The latter succeeds in obtaining her
reluctant consent and rnarries her. The
husband then appears in his true colors-a
roue and gambler of the first water. The
young wife finds herself unwittingly the de-
coy TO draw rich prey to her husbands net.
A child is born, and for its sake she bears
the burden of an intolerable life. But the
child dies. At the unhappy wife's sugges-
ton they part, by mutual consent They
are 10 meet as strangers. Romance is
quickly introduced into the story. She as
surnes her maiden Winifred West
and Ia next discovered as a nurse at Lon
don hospital One of her patients, the
Hon. Claude Millett, gentleman and an
artist. falls in Lore with her. Lady Fall
conridge, his mother. INVITES the gentle
nurse to stay with her in her Highland
home. She gains the warmest affection of
the family. An attempt to extract from
her the secret of her life evokes only food
of tears. In the meantime, winifred's hus-
band has succeeded to title and entailed
estates. He is startled on seeing her por-
trait as "HeIen Of Troy" at an exhibition of
his friends pictures. He meets his wife
She treats him with loathing and contempt
He determines to enforce his rights. She
tells Claude all, and he offers unconditional
assistance and sends her TO his mother in
Scotland. There are several exciting scenes
before the story is brought to conclu-
sion.

ParneIl and the O'shea Case.

Mr.. Parnell does not seem to think that
his connection with the O'Shea divorce suit
will force him 10 give up the leadership of
the Irish parliamentary party. He has adj
dressed note to the Irish members remind :
ing them that parliament will meet Nov.
25 and that it is necessary that every one
of them should be- present on the opening
day.
In England, however, the sentiment is
that his political career is at an end. His
refusal to defend himself in the divorce suit
is accepted as an admission of his guilt and
the testimony given by O'Saea, the hus-
band, standing as it does uncontradicted,
places him in such an unenviable position
that it is difficult to see how he can continue
to be the leader in a great reform move
ment.
1t may be true that the divorce suit was
move of his political enemies to drive him
from the leadership of bis party, but that
does not lessen the moral effect Of the result
Of the suit. Had he defended the suit sue
cessfully. he would have been more popular
than ever. His virtual admission of guilt
can hardly fail to weaken his influence.
Mr.. Eugene Kelly, the New York banker,
in speaking of the O'Shea divorce suit the
other day, said: "If the charge is proved
against Parnell, Irishmen will want no more
to do with him ass leader. OF course he
could vote on question, but he would
never be looked upon as a fit man to intro
duce any measure looking to the relief of
Ireland. Not only will the clergy of Amer
lea cease to have anything more to do with
him, but the laity will act likewise. To
think that man like Parnell, whom we
have always looked upon as a pure man,
with his ability, his ancestry and his past
achievements, should mix himself no in
such n scandal! 1t must remove him fpom
that high pedestal upon which the Irish
have placed him."
The opinion of Mr.. Kelly is doubtless that
entertained by the great majority of Irish
men. Assuming that it is, can he remain at
the head of his partyg 1t does not seem
possible for HIM to do so. Aud if ne is
forced to retire it will be long time before
Ireland has another leader as able as he has
proved himself to be-
