disliked by some of the crew. One

was the last of poor pussy. A week

The captain can't explain how the

WILL HEAL THE r A
JOHN POPE HENNEssY.

BY Strange Coincidence He Dies on the
Same Day With Parnell.
LONDON, Oct. Occupied with the
announcement that MI. Parnell died
during the night was the news that Sir
John Pope Hennessy, member Of parlia-
ment for North Kilkenny, wa also
dead. Sir John Pope Hennessy, it will
be remembered, Immediately after the
exposure in the O'Shea divorce case in
December, 1890, contested the North
Kilkenny election, backed up by Mr..
Parnell's opponents and defeated the
Parnellite candidate, Mr.. Vincent
Scully, by 1,147 votes. This was a great
and possibly the greatest test of strength
between the Parnellites and the Nc
Carthyites, and the defeat of Mr.. Scully
no doubt counted for a great deal in the
future series of disasters which befen
the Irish leader.

at intervals Mrs. Parnell's voice was

it was some moments before she could

ports would not be worth consideration.

b NEWS IN DUBLIN.
DUBLIN, Oct. 7.-Now that Parnell is
dead it is said it was q matter of noto-
riety among his intimate friends that
his health had been rapidly declining
for months past. His friends and doc
tors say they urged him in vain to be
more careful, but all their remon.
strances we're %unavailing. Parnell COD
tinued to work at the highest pressure,
and underwent constant privstlons and
fatigueness which would haEe ruined
the health of q stronger man. After
the Sligo election, when Barnard
Collery, the anti Parnell candidate, de-
feated Parnell's candidate, Valentine
B. Dillon, it was privately admitted
that Parnell was greatly depressed, and
was himself obliged to resort to stimu.
lants in order to sustain his nerves.
At Creegs. Sept. 81, Parnell complained
of suffering from q peculiar pain in the
region of the heart, which pain, he said,
had never troubled him before. This
was in addition to the rheumatic
troubles in the arm, which has already
been referred to. Members of the
league now in this city are making the
arrangements necessary to attend the
funeral of Parnell.

In fifteen years after the owner

1 saw his now divorced wife living
in a humble little cottage on the
side of the creek. and she was
working in her garden, and her
son was working with a thresh-
ing machine, travelling with the
hands from place to place, and for
fifteen years her husband who

not know what had become of
him or whether he was dead or

The Mayer's Welcome and the convsa-
tioa's Resolutions.
The New York State Wine and Beer
Association held its convention re-
Gently in New York City.
Mayor Grant welcomed them, and
expressed his opinion of the Sunday
law as follows:
If it is right for the Broadway and
Fifth Avenue hotels to sell any kind
OF intoxicating drinks on Sunday, 1t
Is right for the hotels on First avenue
and along Tenth avenue, and in other
streets and avenues where the people
with smaller incomes live. A law
should be passed which can be en-
forced. The people do not endorse
the present excise laws and do not be-
lieve In them. 1t would require a DO
lice force ten times as large to enforce
them literally and strictly, even if vio-
lations could be prevented then. I
would favor q measure which per-
mitted sales on certain hours on Sun
day and closed strictly at other hours.
The association at once passed the
following resolutions:
New York's Mayor, Hugh j. Grant,
frankly and honestly states that he
believes that public sentiment is in
favor Of having the saloons open dur
ing certain hours on Sunday. Thus
1t will be seen that this is not the de-
mand Of the dealer, but the public
which demands that it shall have the
right to purchase refreshment upon
at least certain hours on Sunday.
Resolved, That We demand the re-
peal OF the present arbitrary and un-
Just Excise laws and the passage Of Q
new law which will allow the people
OF the Empire State that personal
liberty which Is enjoyed in other
countries.
Resolved. That we will use our
right of suffrage this fall In behalf Of
those candidates for Legislative oficeo
who will work and vote for an amend
ment to the Excise law which will
recognize the fact that when the
doors OF any business place are closed
during the hours prohibited by the
present laws for doing business, that
such places shall be considered legally
closed.
Resolved, That as We are assured
that public sentiment Is against the
spasmodic raids on Sunday of the
police In the cities Of the State, es-
pecially in New York City, we demand
Of the Mayors Of the cities that they
prohibit the police from forcing their
way into business places whi6h are
apparently closed and when there %
no disturbance In the place.
Resolved. That We will neither favor,
protect or assist, politically. imam
cially or otherwise, any dealer who II
not q member of this association.

has shown to proper thinking PEG,
pie that the practice of Christian

faith IN Christianity.
As science advances the domain

Powerful influences are now

and the Importance of belief in
distractions and miracles is cor

As soon as men understand that
the practice of the precepts of the
Christian religion bears more d.

belief in the doctrines of Christi
