Fuel, Little Food.
TRENTON, Feb. 3-Mrs. parnell's home, In
Bordentown, Is nothing more than "A ruin; /;
the window sills are shnky and the doors
are breaking with their own weight, aud
the wind whistles through every part Of
the house and the roof let's in both sun
shine and rain. Mrs Parnell was found
sitting in a large room, bare Of furniture
except few chairs and a table, her feet en-
cased in a pair OF old rubber shoes, and
wrapped in what had once been dress
The only heat in the room came in from the
sun. Fire there was none, nor even a stove
Apologizing TO the reporter for the absence
OF a fire On such a cold day, and requesting
him to take the only remaining chair in the
room, Mrs Parnell resumed her seat, and
the reporter stated the object Of his visit.
Mrs. PaInell was at first reluctant to enter
upon the story Of her poverty, but the facts
being so patent, she finally consented to an-
swer few questions.
Mrs. Parnel stated that she had been out
OF wood and coal for six weeks, except that
she had just enough TO cook her food al
meal time. Her food consisted Of oatmeal
and potatoes with sometimes a little bread.
She has at present no source of income. but
her wants were few, she said and she could
live ON t25 year In regard to the money
she recently received from the public she
said:
at all went to pay pressing debts, and
more would have goae that way had hae
| t. The total amount which have receive,
| from all sources is 81 ,250.n
',Itais stated, Mrs. Parnell, that your pres
ent destitution is due in part TO your pro
pensity for speculating In stocks; Is thi
trueN
"Lile many other rumors Il has some
foundation In fact have, Il is true bought
stocks on the market, hoping they would
rise IN value, and thereby enable me TO pay
of my debts. My speculations were very
unfortunate.
81 hope 70 get something from the govern
ment some day, but they are very slow in
Washington.
Mrs. Parnell states emphatcally that her
son has no means Of his own; that all thl
money given him has been sunk ia his en-
deavors TO resuscitate Irish industrial enter
prises; consequently, although he has Away
been an atfectionate and dutiful son, she ex
poets no assistance from him. Heretofor
he has from time TO time assisted her, nota
bly, few years ago, when he saved the plac
from being sold for taxes.
