in MEMORY OF PARNELL
Irishmen From Several Cities Present At
the New York Meeting.

the New YORK Meeting.
New YORK, Nov. 16.-Services to the
memory of Charles Stewart Parnell
were held last night in the Academy OF
Music and Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew was
the eulogist. There was hardly prom
inent Irishman in the city WAC was not
present, but it was not only Parnell'S
own race that attended to do his memory
homage, as many Americans were scat
tered about among the vast audience
Delegations from the Polish Societies
of New York were also in attendance,
while Irish Americans from Philadel-
plia, Boston, New Haven, Bridgeport,
and other nearby cities paid tribute by
their presence.
Perhaps the most prominent auditor
of Mr.. Depew's eulogy was Governor
elect Mckinley, of Ohio. He was ac-
companied by his wife and occupied u
box. In the auditorium could be seen
many more persons whose names are no
table in law, politics, literature, and the
pulpit. All the Irish and Gaelic Socie-
ties were we'll represented in the au-
dience.
The theatre was draped with the Stars
and Stripes, over which, in heavy folds,
fell cloths Of purple. To the right Of
the stage was large Eportrait in oil Of
the dead leader resting against a large
Gaelic cross wreathed with ivy. At the
base of the portrait were two wreaths,
one of shamrocks, moss and ivy, the
other of laurels. The first of these was
presented to the Parnell Committee by
Mrs Margaret Horgann, wife of the
Mayor of Cork. The ivy of which it
was partly composed was gathered near
the spot in Glasnevin cemetery near
O'Connell's monument. The moss was
taken from the grave of Parnell and the
shamrock plucked from the hills of
Cork.
The second wreath was present fir ON
the Polish societies. 1t was bound with
Polish colors and bore this inscription:
"Poland mourns with Ireland.''
By 8 o'clock the house was packed.
The services opened with preliminary
musical exercises. Then, amid cheers,
the orator of the evening arrived. He
was introduced by the chairman, Judge
Henry A. Gildersleeve.
Ringing cheers and applause followe
the mastery eulogy of Mr.. Depew.
The musical exercises were then re.
sumed, the gem Of which was, perhaps,
the singing of SIT is not the tear at this
moment shed,' with harp accompani-
ment by Miss Inez Carusi.
Letters of regret were read from ex-
President Cleveland and Henry Waiter
son, which concluded the services.
