speaking at Cardiff. said: Apart from
all political considerations, he could not
help feeling of pity and sympathy for
the man, whatever his faults may have
been. He was the greatest parliament

Weary Unto Death.
BoRDENToWN, n. j., Oct. 9.-Mrs.
Della Stewart Parnell, mother of the
great Irish home rule leader who lies
dead IN Brighton England. has CON
Sented to the publication of the follow
ing extracts from the letter she last re-
eceivd from her distinguished son:
II am weary, dear mother, of these
troubles-wearY unto death: but it is all
in good cause, and with help and the
assistance of my friends l am con-
fident of the results. The state
mentS of my enemies, so often made
regarding my relations with you, are on
a par with the endless calumnies they
shoot out at me from every bush. Let
them pass. They will die from their
own venom. Indeed, it would be dig
nifying them to notice their eXistence.'
Mrs. Parnell has been Frustrated
since Wednesday afternoon. Her
friends fear that the shock of her
sons death has been too great for her,
and that she may lose her mental bal
ance. She mas been confined to her bed,
her old seryitOr. Edward Stevin. and
her friends, Mrs. w. j. Knoud, of New
York, being III constant attendance. This
morning at s O'Clock the watchers were
startled. Mrs. Parnell left her bed and
burst into the dining room, her eyes
ablaZe and her features haggard. She
was greatly excited, and declared that
she would go at once to New York and
thence sail for Ireland to see her be-
loved son. Sobs and hysterical laugh
ter shook her frame, and the attendants
were greatly frightened and sent for a
physician.
Comment and Movement
CHICAGO. Oct. 9.-The Herald this
morning says; The bitter denunciation
of Parnell by the archbishop of Dublin
breathes a spirit of vindictiveness that
ill-becomes any minister of religion.
In tone and temper it betrays personal
hate that is amazing; the prOmptneSs
with which so elaborate 4 condemnation
was given to the world suggests a DELHI
GRAFTON as striking as the judgment is
swift and merciless; the assumption
that the dead mans fate is some
thing in which God had par
ticularly manifested himself breathes
spirit as rancorous as the
world has ever known. Parnell's faults
were many and serious; there can be
no doubt of that. But he did more for
Irish liberty and more for the political
rehabilitation and rejuvenation of the
Irish race than all the priests. ministers
and preachers that ever lived.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9. = Initial
measures are about to be taken in this
city to raise funds for a suitable monu-
ment to Parnell. The promoters of the
plan are well known Irish-Americans
who believe that through his leadership
the cause of home rule has been, pro-
NOTED and political privileges secured
that could not otherwise have been Sc
cured.
CHICAGO, Oct 9.-At meeting of the
COnfederated Irish societies of Chicago
held tonight at the Grand Pacific hotel
the following resolution was adopted.
Resolved, That this meeting. while dis
claiming any desire TO suggest, much less to
dictate to lriShmen respecting the leader
ship of the Irish party, deems it essential TO
any plan of union that no person prominent
in the persecution of the late Mr.. Parnen
can be at all recognized as in the running, or
in any sense acceptable TO the Irish or Irish
American people.
Resolutions were also adopted deplor-
ing the death of Parnell as national
calamity to Ireland, and condemning
the unchristian spirit and the monstrous
political pretentions of the article on
ParnelPs death attributed to Arch
bishop Walsh, and the foul and ruff
fianly comments of the journal called
The National Press.
At the close of the meeting a gener-
Gus amount was collected from those
present TO defray the expenses of mass
meeting to be held i'll the near future in
memorial of Charles Stewart Parnell.
