IrlShmcn ray IriDute TO Jne memory Oh
Charles stewart ParneII.
DUBLIN, Oct I1.-Irishmen from all
over the world on Sunday assembled
around the grave of Charles Stewart
Parnell in Glasnevin cemetery and did
homer and reverence to the memory of
the great Irish leader. 1t was the sec
ond anniversary of the death of the
champion of home rule, and
the crowds attending the ceremonies
showed very clearly that Ireland has
not forgotten the services of Parnell in
the cause so dear to the hearts of her
sons and daughters. The procession OF
mourners through the streets of Dublin
far exceeded in number and in rever-
ence that of last year upon the same
occasion. The admirers of Parnell and
the principles he represented took one
and half hours to pass the city hall.
The procession was headed by a
blacll-draped wagon upon which We're
piled memorial wreaths seLt from diff
ferent parts of the country, as well as
several from the United States, Canada
and Australia. The independent Irish
party of New York sent a hand
some floral harp 1t was feet high,
81 feet across and the top was made of
green and gold immortelles, enlivened
by red flowers of the same kind. The
strings We're of red immortelles, and
across them in white flowers were the
words: " Charles Stewart Parnell. p"
Across the base of New Yorll's tribute
| to tn he dead leader was the inscription:
sin loving memorial; from the Irish of
| New York"
The officials and corporations of the
cities of Dublin and Cork attended the
ceremonies in state. The streets along
the route to the cemetery We're packed
with men and women and the neighbor-
hood of Glassnevin burial ground was
crowded to the utmost. John Parnell,
brother of the late Charles Stewart
Parnell, and Mrs. Dickinson, his sister,
appeared in The parade in carriage,
accompanied by John Redmond, NJ. F.,
the Parnellite leader.
At the cemetery the wreaths were
placed upon the grave of the beloved
statesman. The procession then re
formed and returned TO the city, the
streets being lined with thousands o
persons, while every window along thu
route was filed with persons who dis
played mourning emblems.

PRINCE JOHN, of Lichtenstein, is not
a mighty ruler, although great hub
bub was made when he broke his
leg while out hunting, the
other day. His highness rules
over state so small that it was
overlooked when peace was declared
between Austria and Prussia in 1866,
and consequently Lichtenstein is still
nominally at war with Prussia Prince
Johns army numbers exactly forty-six
men, including several brigadier gem
erals, and an hours march in any direc-
