Biography of Parnell Issued.

LONDON, OCT. 13.-Thomas Power
O'Oonnor's life of Charles Stewart Par
nell has just appeared. It bears but
few traces of hurried preparation, yet
it is a book of 1923 pages and contains q
great deal in a small compass. All pre-
vvious biographies of Parnell accord to
Avondale, the honor Of his place Of
birth. O'Connor says he heard Parnel
state this was incorrect. He was born at
Brighton. Though intensely Irish in
sentiment O'Oonnor always regarded
Parnell in physique and oh%aracter-in
character above all-American. A
large part of the book
is devoted to recent events.
O'Oonnor says "amongst his followers
were many with q stubborn will and in
flexible resolution, yet all was as clayin
the potter's hands when he chose to <
ercise his power. His subjugation of
his race from o restless, forlorn faction
into a great, united and absolutely obe-
dent whole, was one of the most re-.
markable achievements in political
leadership in the history of mankind"
