from speaking good OF EVIL OF hlEl.
Arnold Morley, NJ. p, said at Nottingham
that he hoped his death would be the means OF
bringing the Irish nation into one united ba;,d
10 the support of the cause Cor which he strug-
gied so nobiy. Mr.. Morley said that he trusted
that freshmen would remember the services
| that Mr.. Parnell had rendered TO their country
| and forget the late unhappy incidents.
HE YEAruREs PEACEFUL
Mr.. O'Kelly, VI. p, called on Mrs Parnell
last night and was permitted 10 see the body.
Re says that from the peaceful expression it
was difficult TO believe that Parnell was dead
He would not state as to the cause of death, AZ
he had not seen either of the attending physi-
Clans. The aspect OF the corpse suggested that
death was from natural causes, without violent
pain.
1t is said that Parnell fully intended that
religious marriage should be celebrated between
him and Mrs. o Shea, but the vicar of Steyning
refused to offciate on the ground that the in
tended wife had been the respondent in di-
vorce suit. The vicar, however, offered to per-
NIT the use of the church if Mr.. Parnell could
find a clergyman. The bishop forbade the
ceremony, as the parties were already civiliy
married. Parnell, by considerable persever-
ance, succeeded in arranging that the Rev. Mr..
Penfold Of St. James Church, Marylebone,
should oficiare. Mr. Parnell intended TO seek
license when the bishop of Chichester, the
Right Rev. Richard Durnford, who was on the
continent, should return. He had requested
that the ceremony take place at 3 o'clock in
the morning and not to be divulged until after
ward.
Mrs. Parnell requested the press representa-
tives to deny the report that Mr.. Parnell had
committed suicide. He had long suffered, she
said, from rheumatism, which, becoming more
severe and developing into a fever, killed him.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Dublin Mail says that many Of Mr.. Par
nelrs bitterest enemies in Ireland will be
shocked by the suddenness of his death. For
months past he looked as if he had been break
ing down under the stress of battle too severe
for even strong man. Although his cause was
hopeless he was still thorn in the side Of Mr..
Gladstone and might have influenced elections.
Now the battle for home rule must be fought on
its own merits. All the same, every generous
heart would lament the tragic career of the
Irish Riepzi.
The Independence Belize saws that Mr. Parnell.
fortunately, died before he had time to destroy
his own magnificent work in behalf of Ireland.
There were SO many brilliant pages in his
political career that the last blotted page
should be torn from public memory.
A news agency states that among the conf
Dental private affairs left unsettled by Mr.
Parnell is the question of the custody Of his
wife younger children. 1t is no secret that
Parnen claimed to be the father Of the two
youngest Sheas.
The Dublin Freeman says that one of the
most remarkable careers of modern times has
been brought to an early and sudden close.
At such a moment it would i'll beft the Irish
nation to put aside and discard the memory of
the bright days when Irishmen regarded
Charles Stewart Parnell with confidence in his
integrity, honor and devotion. We claim that
a great effort should be made to close with
death the sad history OF the last few uneasy
months of fratricidal strife. Weappeal to peO-
pic throughout the country 10 be moderate
and calm and to join in that national unity

WHAT Is SAID IN NEW YORK.
No event in recent Irish political history has
produced such ssensation among Irishmen as the
announcement of the death of Charles Stewart
ParnelL Nobody anticipated Mr.. Parnelrs
death, and all the calculations of the Irish
nationalists as to the future Of the home rule
movement were based ON Parnelrs apparently
infexibie determination to continue the fight
upon the lines laid down in his famous mani
festo after his final separation from the great
| majority of his former colleagues.
Michael Davitt could hardly believe the
nsws OF Mr.. Parnelrs death. 1t was apparently
the last thing that he expected to hear.
| The pews comes with such suddenness," ne
said, that 1 hardly believe it, Is it not
| possible that there has been some mistake
When assured that the naws had been con-
| hrmsd nc said: Il regret exceedingly from .
personal standpoint tho death Of Nj. Parneil !
1 regret it because 1t is sad to speculate on the
| brilliant future that Charles Stewart parneil
had ana tho great opportunity that fell to hum
! to immortalize himself n patriot in the cause
| OF his native land 1 believe now that no harsh
uttersnees will DO delivered over the grave Of
Mr.. Psrnen and that many il not ali OF tho
aninaosities that hsvo existed among the people
| Of Ireland recently will be buried out Of eight
| never to BE- resurrected."
Questioned ss TO the future leadership Of the
Irish parliamentary party, Mr.. Dayitt said that
