Forgot Its Cunning.

Henry L. Gage, the Los Angeles attorney,
sat In the reading-room Of the Palace Hotel
and scratched away industriously with a
pen IN an attempt to write a letter. He had
probably written half page, when he
crumpled the sheet up and threw it on the
floor. Again he essayed the task, and
again he gave it up in despair. Peculiar
thing, that" he calculated, as he turned
around in his char. "Do you know that
have grown so accustomed TO debating all
my communications that L find il impossible
to write two sentences commercially? Fact,
though. Anothervery strange feature of 1t is
that have SO accustomed myself that when
dictate to a shorthand writer | must sit in Il
particular position. Aud yet | have men
tell me that they cannot dictate, and gen.
tleman told me a few days ago that he did
not believe any man could do really first
class work except with pen between his
fingers. This | know to he Il mistake from
experience, for | find that in debating briefs
l can produce documents that l never could
have hoped to write with pen. An idea,
for instance, | can dictate that would slip
away from me before l could ever hope to
write il out in the old way"

PARNElL,S LAST WORDS
About the Great Cause to Which II
Devoted His Life.

About the Great Cause to Which He
Devoted His Life.
LONDON, Oct. "a dispatch from
Brighton says:
On Saturday morning Mr.. Parnell was
not able to rise, but Mrs. Parnell read
Gladstone's great speech to him in bed.
lie dictated statement for United Ire
land, the only Irish paper which has
stood by him personally. Though
United Ireland had gone to press the
day before, it published a special on
Saturday evening with Mr.. Parnells
message in. This was Parnell's last po-
litical utterance. 1t is of peculiar inter-
est. In it he expressed himself as much
disappointed with Gladstone's promises
for home rule. 1t was sandwiched in
between less important British meas
ures to delude the laborers with.
1T is, said Parnell, ''when we turn to
this treatment of Ireland that we are
most disappointed. For some time past
the seceders have been whispering of
the great declaration they expected
from Gladstone as to the character of
his home rule bill, declarations which
were to overwhelm all Parnellites with
confusion, but on turning to this portion
of his speech we find little or nothing
about home rule, and even that charac-
terized by greater vagaries than ever.
He tells us, indeed, that Irish county
councils ought to have control of the
police, but you must note that he does
not, of course, mean the constabulary,
since he has always resolutely declined
to give the control of this force to the
Irish parliament, the utmost that could
be expected from him at Boulougne
being that the constabulary might be
gradually disbanded, and that then
the Irish parliament might have
police force of its own. The real
meaning of his words simply comes to
this: He would permit the Irish county
councils to raise police force Of their
own which would exist side by side

CINCINNATI CAN HAVE 1T.
Only Little Tact Necessary to Got the
Republican Convention.

Republican Convention.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9--Cincinnati can
have the Republican national nomina-
ton convention next year if it only
handles itself with small degree of dis
erection. This information comes from
the highest and best authority on the
subject. There is a strong feeling for
Omaha and Minneapolis but it is based
on sentiment, a feeling that those Re
publican strongholds representing the
northwest should have encouragement,
yet at the time it is acknowledged that
the distance to be travelled and the hotel
accommodations make their selection un.
desirable.
Philadelphia is an ardent candidate,
but the party conditions there take that
city out OF the question. Scarcely a
man has been found who favors Chi
cago. The press of that city WAS emf
nently unfair to all candidates i'm 1873
who were outside the Illinois limit.
Then Chicago has the worlds fair, and
feeling prevails universally that she
has had enough, especially since a ma
jority of the national conventions have
been held there during the past quarter
of century. Cincinnati is by the men
who will vote upon the subject consid-
cred in the line of the center of popula-
ton, on neutral grounds, without To-
cal candidate and most accessible She
has been predicted as the next conven-
ton point by large majority of the
members of the national committee.

The Plan Is Co Raise the Price of Cigars
and Reduce the Profits OF the Retailers
simultaneously-Expe to Re on n
business Footing by the First of the
Year.
New York, Oct. 0. 9.-Representatives
Of the large cigar making firms in this
and neighboring cities met Wednesday
to form trust. 1t will probably be
capitalized at $95, 900, 900. Straiton g.
Storm were not represented.
The meeting was secret. but it was
learned that the combination will put
up the price of cigars and at the same
time will reduce the profits of petailers.
The scheme is SO far advanced that its
projectors expect to be on business foot
ing by Jan. /. When the trust gets in
to operation it will directly control 100,-
900 workmen, and the output of be-
tween 1900, 100000 and 100000, 900
cigars in this country.
