Parnell, once leader of the Irish forces
in the House of Commons, died on Tues
day at Brighton, England, after a brief
illness. He was born at Avondale, Ire.,
in 1876. His career and his position
when he died are well summed up by an
exchange when it says:
Two years ago the death of Charles
Stewart Parnell would have been regard
ed as an almost irreparable loss to the
Irish cause. Today, while the news
comes with shock of surprise and will
be received with regret by those who
remember and appreciate Parnell's earl
ier services to Ireland, it can hardly be
regarded otherwise than as a relief, mas
much rs it removes an obstacle to the
effective union of the friends of Ireland.
The making of Mr.. Parnel's career was
due to his administrative force, his reso-
luton, his indomtable courage and his
singleness of purpose. The wrecking of
it resulted from the absence of self-con-
troll in matters of personal conduct which
has too often marred the lives of leaders
of men, and in its political phases, from
an indOmitable obstinacy and dullness of
the moral sense which made it impossi-
BILE for him to understand that his pres
tige was irrevocably lost. Now that his
life is ended there will be disposition tC
Judge more leniently his faults and to
lay more stress upon his services. Ger
tainly no history of the Irish struggle
for ampler political rights can ever be
written which does not give large place
to the achievements of Charles Stewart
Parnell

in ten years of about 100000. In Ger

AT MYSTIC PARK.

The great feature of Friday, the last
day of the New England Breeders meet
ing at Mystic park, was the three-y year-old
race. Following is the Boston Globes
account of it:
Only five of the colts came out for the
word. They were: Carbon, Sue Gillig,
Blanca, Anaconda and Athlete. This left
out Howdy, Ruth Wilkes and Granietta
of those competing last night. When
they came out Blanca was lame, and as it
was hazardous risking so great youngster,
James Golden was allowed to withdraw
her. This left four. At the start Sue
Gillig left her feet, and when she got to
trottng Carldon and Athlete were fully
a distance out. Athlete went at the colt
as if he intended to beat him. He carried
the great Don Carlos colt TO the quarter
in 354 seconds and to the half ! :l04. This
was a murderOus clip for 3-year-old,
but Dodge was playing to shut out Sue
Gilig. This he could not do for Gillig
was coming very fast and she must have
come the last half better than , 20 shot.

wild Geese and Electric Lights.

The night was still and dark, and as
the birds few over the city some of the
geese would get bewildered by the
bright light of the electric lamps and
circle round and round the light,
squawking as if lost The ducks do
not seem to care for the excitement of
city life and go quietly on their way,
but goose is so supremely curious that
he can hardly pass an electric light
without flying round and examining it.
About two years ago there was ter
rife thunder storm, during which a
flock of geese, numbering probably 200,
entered the city and soon became be-
wildered by the storm. Some of them,
it is said, even Lit on the roofs of
houses, but certain it is that at half
past 4 or in the morning there was a
great flock of geese sitting in the light
of the arc lamp, on the corner of Main
and First streets, in the center of the
town. This, of course, is an exceptional
case, and would probably never have
happened If it had not been for the
storm, but why they should be 80 ire

when he told of his bringing the I'm
ion men into her midst, she scraped
up the last of her corn and insisted
that his horse should eat it from her
apron. He said that while the lady
was surprised even to see them there
that they stayed until Chattanooga
was in their own hands. He comment.
ed on the loyalty of East Tennesseans
and on their work which was instru-
mental in saving the flag of the grand
est country the sun shines on. He
said that he had fallen in love with
East Tennessee, had moved here to
make good Tennessean and to spend
his life here /; that he had come to do
what he could to develop this wonder
full country, which in ten years from
now would be the foremost place in
development on the continent. He
concluded by saying that he was a
man of action rather than a man of
speech, that he would leave the speak
ingto others who were practiced in
the art, but that when it comes to
work and action he could do about as
much as any of them. To this last
sentence it might be added that he
can do great deal more than any of
us when it comes to action.

A special feature was the song by
Mai. A. Cantwell and was sung after
repeated calls for it. The Major, with
characteristic fun, had to tell a few
good jokes before singing. He said
that this cry of having hard time
during the war was all stuff, that he
went into the war weighing 40 pounds
and came out weighing 225 pounds.
An old veteran near by remarked that
that was easily explained, the Major
was better thief than the rest of
them. The song, "Bury Me with My
Grand Army Badge on My Breast, !"
was relished with great delight.
There was never a more sober pic
