"DURING Parnell's delirium-he talk
ed constantly of ireland and told what
he would do for her If he lived" is how
the accounts of his last moments read.
Think of an Irish mob attacking such
a man and attempting to deprive him OF
his sight, at the instance of those who
were jealous Of his popularity.
Let my love be conveyed to my col
leagues and the Irish people" were the
last words OF the great leader who gave
his life for his country, and whose death
was caused not by those he fought but
by those he served. His memory is now
blackened 10y those who have profted by
his work. There is no wee more damn
able than ingratitude.

A STRANGE SCENE,
Where Tender Words and fearful Plead.

1t was in the corridor of the sixth
floor of the city hall. says the Philadel-

o'clock yesterday morning. Spectators,
group of reporters. Speakers, a
middle-aged neatly but poorly dressed
female accompanied by a younger
woman. evidently her daughter. She
had inquired several times when
Magistrate Pole would arrive. They
impatiently paced the corridor in front
of the hearing room. Before his
honor arrived Il man, whose appear
ance showed plainly that he was par
tial to the amber-colored beverage,
joined the couple.
Don't do it, Mary; don't do it;
please don't do it," entreatingly said
he.
- am tired. of your abuse, and / am
going to have you arrested" remarked
the elderly woman.
Just give ME another trial." he
begged. land I'll never strike YOU
again"
You have said that before. but you
did not live up to your promise"
Try me. oh. try mer' he persisted;
Il mean il this time; indeed | do"
By this time there was quite a crowd
around the speaker - though they
were not near enough to interrupt the
dialogue.
You will find me a different man
after this" he pleaded; there, that
will prove it"-and he kissed her.
The kiss did not mollify her. She
appeared TO be deaf 10 his pleading.
Probably she did not see the tear that
was in his eye. But he kissed her
again.
Yes. mean it. Mary" he said, re-
pressing sob. Then, look here. y

ing the silver it contained to Jingle, If
you come home with me now, Mary,
you can have it all"
The woman took good look at it,
and then she said:
Yes, it will he chicken TODAY but
air tomorrow. But hand il over.
Jacob; I'll give you one more trial"
Tney then passed down the corridor
to the elevator. he with his arm around
her waist. both apparently on the best
OF terms with each other. The vonng

THE HENNEPIN CANAL.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Oct. 13.-What may be
considered the first real work IN the
building of the Hennepin canal, to con-
meet he Illinois and Mississippi rivers,
was done to-day in the efforts TO acquire
land through which the canal will run.
The condemnation suits, it is thought,
will not be long in trying, and many
land owners have already compromised
with the government. The canal is in
tended to accommodate vessels not draw
ing more than ten feet OF water. The
last congress appropriated 100000 for
the work and it is expected more will be
given as the work progresses. The canal
when completed, will be ninety miles
long,
