Of parliament for North Wexford, whose
name has been prominently mentioned as a
successor Of Mr.. Parnell as leader of the Par

delegates. The meeting was presided over
by Timothy M. Healy, member
OF parliament for North Longford.
In his preliminary address no said that the
members OF the Irish national p lrty are not
concerned with eulogies over the dead, but
the interests of the living. He hoped that
discussions would be inferred In his Mr..
ParnelPsl grave. The note for renewed war
came from the minority aud not from them.
The majority continued to be willing to
overlook the acts aud calumnes of their
opponents, because they were not fighting
on personal questions, but national ones.

KNAvEs AND FOOLS.
Their party consisted of knaves and fools,

MRS. PARSELL VERY I'LL.
LONDON, Oct. 15.-The health of Mrs.
ParRell shows no signs Of Improvement.
| She is very weak and is still confined TO
her bed, scarcely able to speak.
Mrs. Parnel acknowledges the receipt of
an overwhelming number Of consolatory
kilograms and letters Of sympathy from
| public bodies, Individual friends and
| many persons who are entire
| strangers to her. She says that
80 many OF these messages Of coincidence
have been received that it is impossible to
answer them separately, and she takes this
means Of returning thanks TO the many
friends who have remembered her in her
hour Of grief.
