that among his complicated private affairs

1t appears that Mr.. and Mrs Parneli fully
intended having "a religious marriage cere-
mony performed, but the vicar of Steyning
re used to otliciate on the ground that Mrs.
Parncll was Il divorced woman. The vicar,
however, offered to lend the use OF his
church tor the ceremony if Mr.. Parncll
found Il clergyman to otlcate. The bishop
OF the diocese then forbade the ceremony,
| rs the parties were already CiVllly married.
Finally, through Mr.. Parncls persever-
anCe, it was arranged that Rev. Mr. PEN
fold OF st. James Mary ebOnr, should Of
ticiute, and Mr.. Parncll intended to seek a
license when the bishop Of Chichester. who
was on the continent, returned. 1t was
| reQcstcd that the marriage should take
place at "a. IN, and should not be di-
vulged till aiterward.

On the other side OF the house Mr. Parnell was
| the Iineal descendant OF Thomas Parnell, Esq,
who owned estates in CongetOn, Cheshire. Eng
Oh aries H., about 1880. 1t would be II labOriUus
task to follow out all the limbs OF genealogical

| sprung from Thomas armell of Cheshire, who
| died about 100, leaving his estates i'll England
and Ireland to his eldest son, Thomas Parnell,

After his death, in l7l7, the baronetcy and

| Der Of parliament for the borough OF Granard
| and subsequently one Of the judges OF the king s
| bench. He married Mary daughter of Thomas

| The issue of this union WAS three sons and one
| daughter. lie estates ultimately descended to
| John Parnell, bart, third son, who was re-
| turned to parliament tor the town OF Nav
| borough in 116l. He was commissioner OF the

Shortly after the close of the war of 1912, in

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL
was born in 1916. lie WAS educated under a
private tutor, and when eighteen years of age
was sent to Maglalene 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. Parnel Of her son, "he did
not always possess the cool temper and presence
of mind that he now shows i'll his debates i'll the
! house OF commons. When IL boy he grew So
angry when his will was disputed that his face
became purple with passion He was imperious
with the servants as most young landlords i'll
that country are, and until his visit to America,
shortly after he became of age he was a bitter
| Conservative i'll 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
eminent. After his return Ireland his political
tenets are said to have changed marvelously.
He lowered the rates of his tenants and raised
the wages OF those i'll his employ. In bearing
and department he became quiet and we'll bel
anCed. In 1874 Mrs Parnell returned to Amer
lea and settled upon Commodore Stewards es-
tate at BOrdentOwn, y. J.. where she now resides.
In the same year Charles Stewart Parnel made
his first appearance before the public as high sher-
if County Wicklow, Ireland. He ran iOr par
lament on the Catholic and National ticket
and was defeated. The following year he was
returned to parliament Ly a large majority
from County Meath. His freedom OF speech, re-
CARELESS 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 n true Stewart,
He was not gifted with remarkable eoquence,
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, i'll the place OF Mr. Isaac Butt. He
was subsequently elected to represent the city
of Cork. He displayed remarkable ability both
as a parliamentary debater and taCtlCian, and
ms an organizer i'll the interest OF the Irish Home
Rule party. He Identified himself with the ten
ant farmers OF Ireland i'll the struggles with Alb.
senteeism and high rents, and was chiefly instru-
mental in forming and sustaining the land
league of 1S79-SO.

the premiership, the Irish member voted with
the government. Paruell, however, thinking
that his party had been given little else than
promises withdrew his support.
In 1879 Mr. Parne made q visit to the United
States with the design OF interesting the Irish
American population in the cause OF the land
