were hastily summoned to his bedside.
They found him, lster, In an obviously
hopeless condition. From 8 o'clock un-
Gil the time of his death Mrs. Parnell,
Miss O'Shea and the doctors watched by
the bedside of the sufferer and allevi-
ated his dying struggles. His senses
now and then would be recalled
for a short time, and then he would
lapse Into Inconsistencies.
Mrs Parnell, who has been completely
devoted to her husband, refusing to
leave his bedside for even an hour rest,
is utterly prostrated by her loss, and her
physicians are apprehensive as to her
condition. She and the physicians were
the only ones present at his death, She
believed up to the last moment that he
would recover.
1t was at first reported that Parnell
had committed suicide, but it was soon
proved beyond doubt that the rumor had
no foundation.
1t was also reported that he had fought
q duel with Sir John Pope -Hennessy,
whose death occurred at nearly the same
time, but the rumor was speedily dis
credited.
No arrangements are yet known fol
the funeral.

A GREAT LEADER DEAD.

The death OF Charles Stewart Par
nell removes from the scene Of Irish
political strife one of the most re-
markable Irishmen Of this or any
other time. Descended from men
distinguished for their patriotism and
valor, he inherited many traits of
character that made him noted as a
leader in the cause to which he de-
voted his manhood. No son Of Ire
land-not even Daniel O'Connell or
Robert Emmett-has 80 endeared him.
self to the hearts of his countrymen as
Charles Stewart Parnell. No Irish
man has succeeded more In arousing
the fires of patriotism among his
countrymen, nor had any Irish leader
ever done so well in exciting such 8
worldwide degree of sympathy for the
Irish movement as the late leader Of
the Irish Parliamentary Party.
Those who admired him in the hey.
day of his power, will prefer to re
member him for his ardent devotion
to his country's cause. The fortunate
occurrence that blighted his political
career and dimmed the rising sun Of
Irish independence, brought sorrow
to the hearts of all lovers of the Ilish
race.
Now that Parnell has gone before
his maker, let charitable hearts draw
a veil over the act which preci pitated
his downfall, and hope that with the
death of this celebrated Irishman al
factionalism will be wiped out, anC
that the Irish people will once more
present a solid front in their battle fol
self-government.

"Oh, my son, my Charles, they have

Mrs. Parnell is 78 yonrs old, and quite
feeble She declared that Charles had
offered TO aid her, but she had assured
him she was comfortable.
She spoke bitterly Of her half brother
Edward Stewart, who, she said, had
tried to deprive her Of her home and had
kept her away from her son. She also
excitedly declared that her son had been
killed by the persecution Of Dayitt, the
| 'Irish World, - and the politicians. She
mourned because these 'yipers' had
prevented her from being with her son
in his last years.

MOVE.

Unless our people-business men and
property holders - exert themselves
and organize for the promotion of in
dustrial establishments in town, they
will lose several very important op-
portunities, which they will eventually
yegtesss If outsiders can come into the
towp, start up enterprises and make
them pay, there is no reason why the
tlown people with money should not
} do as much. There can be no cry that
the town people have not been af-
forded opportunities. Time and again
the HERALD has pointed out how the
town and people could be benefited,
but its predictions have been looked
upon as impossibilities and its advice
has been stamped as "wind."
Now that the electric railway is be-
coming substantial forerunner Of
prosperity for the town 1t is hoped
the intelligent and sensible portion ol
the community will pay less atten'
tion to the Blowhards and meet the
situation as squarely as it presents
itself and give the promotion of home
Industries renewed attention.
A gentleman whose experience has
taught him what he predicts, says
Shenandoah will be made one of the
best towns in the region business in
s,Y quarters will increase; better
dwellings will replace the antique
excuses for homes properties will en-
hance in value, and permanent i'm
provements will appear on all sides.
There are capitalists watching fol
opportunities such as now present
themselves to our people and if the
latter do not act promptly they will
find themselves left again.
Let there be move, an early move
and move along the whole line.
