BY Strange Coincidence He Dies on the
Same Day With Parnen.
LONDON, Oct. 7.-Coupled :. with the
announcement that Mr.. Parnell died
during the night was the news that Sil
John Pope Hennessy, member of parlia
rnent for North Kilkenny, was alsc
dead. Sir John Pope Hennessy, it will
be remembered, Immediately after the
exposure in the O'Shea divorce case il
December, 1890, contested the Nortt
Kilkenny election, backed up by Mr.
Parnelrs 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 great deal in the
future series of disasters which befel
the Irish leader.

Chas. Stewart Parnell the
Noted Irish Leader---John Pope
Henlessy, Member Of Parlia-

LONDON, Oct. 7.-When Great Britain
and Ireland awoke from their
slumbers M they We're startled by
the utterly unlooked-for announcement
that Charles Stewart Parnell, the noted
Irish leader. had died suddenly during
the evening at his home in Brighton.
1t has been well known that Mr.. Par
nell has not enjoyed the best of health
for years past, and it has been noticed
and widely commented upon that since
the O'Shea divorce developments be-
came a matter of of public notoriety and
since political troubles came upon him

Time: 2:l3; 2:l1; 2:lOA; s:12A.
TERRE HAUTE Ind, Oct. IA misty
morning and chilly northwest wind
stood in the way of the attendance in
keeping with the high character of the
second days programme Prior to the
first heat the pools sold Hal Pointer
$50, Direct 1926, with plenty of takers
for both ends. Two pools of $4,000 to
1850 each were sold, Y. Welch taking
the long end andJ. Murphy. of Chicago,
the short. Fully $50, went into the
pool box before the bell tapped. The
word was given the first time down,
Pointer having little the best of it,
Starr having nodded for the word.
Geer followed his tactics of yesterday
and allowed no lettering by the way.
The first quarter pole was passed in
334 seconds No change of position to
the half in 1861; down hill to the
eighth the pace is qnickened
and fifteen seconds marks the rate.
to the three-quarters in / ;37 and Starr
begins to play the whip. The stallion
game'y answers the call and they turn
into the stretch
AT TERRIFIC BURST
Hal Pointer answering easily every ef-
fort of Direct. The black stallion is
game but cannot stand the clip. They
go under the wire with Geers' head
turned watching Direct. No pools
were sold ON the last heat. The con-
clusion has forced itself that Pointer is
unbeatable. In the second score they
got the word, and Pointer, with his ears
laid back, was the personi6cation of de-
termination. Geer carries Direct
wide at the turns and gives him long
mile at the quarter IN 3344 seconds.
Direct is length back, Starr evidently
holding back for brush. The same
position is maintained to the half in
1:07 and three quarters in 40. Starr
now ,1des the black horse with the
skill of master runsman. He is
onto Pointers wheel at the turn
for home. At the distance Direct fall
ters. but Starr gathers him up and with
a great drive tries in sheer desperation
for the heat. There is no use, Pointer
has the speed and endurance to spare.
The track is judged by experts to be
fully two seconds slow. and the condi-
tioue were in favor of Pointer.

Utllsboro,s New Pastor.

HILLsBoRo, N. D.. Oct 5.-Dr. Bur-
dick, the new pastor of the Congrega-
tional Church at Hillsboro, preached
the first sermon last Sunday after his
return from the east to take charge of
the pastoral work here; he is to live at
Fargo and go to Hillsboro every Sunday
to preach. His sermon was an eloquent
one, and it ought to move the heart Of
the listener to stop and think and ex-
anime himself for such love of God and
his neighbors. and sympathy, one for
another, and willingness to do for others
as you would have others do for you, as
set forth by the eminent preacher, neces-
sary to possess in order to be true
Christian, certainly are very scarce
articles nova days, for where the great
egotism and aristocratic formalities are
the dominant features there certainly is
no love, such as is necessary to please
God.
A stranger coming to small village
of, say about l. 900 Inhabitants aud see
six or seven churches, naturally will say
that this must be good community.
having so many churches; but, alasl
that is not always the case. 1t is simply
a sign that there are SO many religious
parties, and the experience is that one
party must not associate with the other,
and feeling not becoming Christian
and wholly unpleasing to God will be
found in such community. which goes
to show that religion of today exists
only in form, and those that can put on
the most aristocratic style think them
selves the greatest, but in the kingdom
of heaven they certainly will be the
smallest.
