FAMILY AFFAIRS.
LONDON, Oct. IA news agency states
that among his complicated private affairs
Mr.. Parnell left unsettled the question of
the custody o: his wife's younger children.
ut Is no secret" says the same authority,
that Mr.. Parnell claimed to be the father
OF the two youngest children of Mrs.
O'Shea."
1t appears that Mr.. and Mrs. Parneli fully
intended having religious marriage cere-
mony performed, but the vicar of Steyning
reused to officiate on the ground that Mrs.
Parnell was divorced woman. The vicar,
however, offered to lend the use OF his
church for the ceremony If Mr.. Parnell
found a clergyman to officiate The bishop
OF the diocese then forbade the ceremony,
as the parties were already civilly married.
Finally, through Mr.. Parnells persever-
ance, it was arranged that Rev. Mr.. PEN
fold of st. James, Marylebone, should Of
ficiate, and Mr.. Parnell intended to seek
license when the bishop of Chichester, who
was on the continent, returned. 1t was
reqested that the marriage should take
place at a. Ill.,, and should not be di-

MoTHERss GRIEF.
BohDENTowN, N. j., Oct THE news OF
her sons death was first made known to
Mrs. Parnell by reporter this morning.
When the reporter was announced Mrs.
Parnell evidently OWNED that he had some
information relating to Mr.. Parnell. torshe
exclaimed: What has befallen my SOM"
Seeing that the reporter hesitated, she con-
tinued: "Is he i'll, or worse, has he been
shot, or did he shoot HIMSELF"
The reporter broke the news to her as
gently as possible, and when he at last an
nounced that Mr.. ParnelI was dead the
white haired mother reeled backward and
fell on the floor.
"Oh. my son; oh, my good, kind Charles,
they have killed YOU" she shrieked. The
scene was heartrending. She was seized
with Mysteries and by turns she laughed and
wept.
'''rhat VIPER" she exclaimed af ter she re-
coveed, pointing a long bony finger at the house
of her halfbrother. Edward Stewart, that
viper over there kept me away from him. He
began suit for $4,000 against me TO dis
possess me from nv home, and ] spent my all
defending it. When Charles wrote to me asking
me whether l needed anything told him the
crops were bringing me In plenty OF money.
That cheered him, and 1t pleased me to say SO,
| although was in poverty. Oh he was a good
and dutiful son and never neglected me. Lies,
lies lies, all lies, when they say he refused to
provide for me. l say it's slander, foul
slander."
Then the old lady paced up and down
the room sobbing convulsively.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
Charles Stewart Parne was born at Avon
dale, County Wicklow, Ireland, in 1S46. He in
herited his belligerent and aggressive qualities
from source no further back than his grand
father, Commodore Charles Stewart, the famous
kl,zE
remark kable capture, in single fight, of the two
British men-of-War Levant and Cyane won for
him the surname of Old Ironsides.
On the other side of the house MIR. Parnell was
the lineal descendant OF Thomas Parnell Esq.,
who owned estates in Congleton, Cheshire Eng
land, and settled i'll Ireland during the reign Of
Oh aries H., about 1880. 1t would be laborious
task to follow out all the limbs of genealogical
tree old and farspreading as that which
sprung from Thomas arnell of Cheshire, who
died about 100, leaving his estates in England
and Ireland to his eldest son, Thomas Parnel,
Jr., then q famous poet and afterward arch
deacon OF Clogher prebendary ofDublin and vicar
of FinglOss.
After his death. in 1717 the baronetcy and
estates descended to John Parnell, Esq, men,
Der Of parliament for the borough of Granard
and subsequently one of the judges of the kings
bench. He married Mary, daughter of Thomas
Whitshed lord chief justice OF the kings bench.
The issue of this union was three sons and one
daughter Tie estates ultimately descended to
John ParneLl, bart, third son, who
turned to parliament for the town of May
DOrOuSu IN 4 GOI. he was commissioner OF the
revenue, and by patent of 1865 was created
baronet of Ireland. He married Anne Ward,
descendant Of the Lady Sophia Wondout and
the earl of Petersborough, and died in 1882,
leaving one son, the Rt. Hon. Sir John Parnell
chancellor of the exchequer, lord of the treas
ury and groom OF his majesty most honorable
private council, who died in 1901, after a long
and distinguished life, leaving his eldest son,
John Augustus Parnell, heir to his baronetcy
and estates
Shortly after the close OF the war of 1912, in
Commodore Stewart. commander N
old Constitution, played SO glorious a part,
Miss Stewart. his only daughter, went to Eng
Parnell, the third baronet and grandson of the
Right Hon. Sir John Parnell, chancellor OF the
exchequer. They removed to Avondale, in the
county OF Wicklow, Ireland, where
CHARLES STEWART PARNELL
was born in 1916. He was educated under a
private tutor, and when eighteen years of age
was selt to Magdalene college, Cambridge, Eng
land Shortly after graduating he was initiated
into Irish politics, and at once took up the
cause OF the people; With the aggressive, ire
| pressible blood of the Stewards on one side and
| the party spirit and political prestige of the
| Parnells on the other. the young graduate was
a politician by nature and inclination.
But" says Mrs Parnell of her son, she did
| not always possess the cool temper and presence
| of mind that he now shows i'll his debates in the
angry when his will was disputed that his face
| became purple with passion. He was imperious
with the servants as most young landlords in
| shortly after he became of age, he was bitter
Conservative in politics.
His visit to this country was partly on private
| business connected with his godfather's estate
| and partly to study our institutions and gov
ernment After his return to Ireland his political
| tenets are said TO have changed marvelously.
He lowered the rates OF his tenants and Eaised
| the wages of those i'll his employ. In bearing
| and department he became quiet and we'll bat
anced. In 1874 Mrs. Parnell returned to Amer
| tate at Bordentown N J., where she now resides.
| IN the same year Charles Stewart Parnell made
his fret appearance before the public as high sher
| iff County Wicklow, Ireland. He ran for par
| lament on the Catholic and National ticket
| and was defeated. The following year he was
returned to parliament ty large majority
| from County Meath. His freedom Of speech, re-
| gardless OF older and more experienced men,
| soon provoked the hostility OF his Conservative
| fellow members. He always spoke whenever he
had anything to say, and refused to be put
down, with the pertinacity of a true Stewart.
| He was not gifted with remarkable eloquence,
and was never what may be called brilliant;
| But he was a ready and fluent speaker. In 1878
| he was elected president OF the Home Rule con-
federation. in the place OF Mr.. Isaac Butt He
Of Cork He displaved remarfabIe ability both
1 as a parliamentary debater and tactician, and
as an organizer in the interest of the Irish Home
| Rule party. He identified himself with the ten
ant farmers OF Ireland in the struggles with alb
senteeism and high rents, and was chiefly instru-
| mental in forming and sustaining the land
CAUSED GLADsToNE's DOWNFALL.
| The fall of the second Gladstone cabinet is
chargeable to Charles Stewart Parnell, the Irish
| agitator. Ever since Gladstones accession to
the premiership, the Irish member voted with
| the government. Parnell, however, thinking
| that his party had been given little else than
| promises, withdrew his support.
| In 1879 Mr.. Parnel made q visit to the United
| States with the design of interesting the Irish
| American population In the cause OF the land
| league. While in that country he lectured be-
| fore several state legislatures and finally before
| the house OF representatives at Washington.
| The honor OF addressing this branch OF congress
| had previously been conferred upon but three
persons-Lafayette. Kossuth and Bishop Eng
| land OF Charleston.
Upon his return home he became bitter In his
attitude towards the landlords and the govern
| ment, and it was charged that this led to disor
der in Ireland. From this charge he was subse-
/ quently vindcated. In November, 1880, infor-
| nations we're laid by the Irish attorney general
against Mr.. Parfiell and other members OF the
| land league executive. The trial ended in q dls-
agreement Of the judges. In the opening OF the
| session OF 1881 the government brought In q co.
ercion bill, and to that measure, well as to the
arms bill. Mr.. Parne'l and his colleagues offered
all distinctions possible: prolonged over seven
| weeks Feb he and thirty-four OF his follow
ers were removed by the sergeant-at-afms for
causing obstructionin the house of commons
