1t is Sent Ont to All the Friends of Home
 Rule in This Country.
 Boston, July S.-The state committee
 of the Irish National Federation of
 sachusetts has issued an address to
 the friends of home rule in which it
 says:
 The dissolution of the liberal minis try precipitates in Great Britain and Ireland another general election. This will take place during next month. Anticipating the duty of sympathizers in this country with the Irish home rule movement at such a crisis the na- tional executive of the federation is- sued from its headquarters in New York few days ago an able and eloquent appeal for funds to aid the Irish party to carry on the coming election in Ireland, We earnestly hope they will not be met with silence or opposition on account of the dissension caused by the Redmondites The so-called divi- sions have been greatly exaggerated. In fact. leaving out the Redmondites, who have virtually joined the tories. there is no break in the Irish party. Pretended friends Of the home rule
 movement in this country or self-styled nationalists who have never given a dollar to the cause nor to anything else patriotic or charitable make these dis sensions a pretext for their advice against sending financial aid to leaders. The great majority of the Irish rep resentatives proved true to their trust not only in combating! tory power and intrigue, but the more subtle and dangerous enemy of Redmondism which masqueraded under the. ghise of fealty to the cause. a. At the coming election the full quota of home rulers should be returned to parliament and while it is plainly evi- dent that the Redmondites are disposed to assist the tories by contesting seats in Irish constituencies and thereby in- creasing expenses the Irish people should be assisted to defeat this nefar- ious program. We trust that Massa- chusetts will do its share in the battle | and thus not only aid in preserving what has been gained, but in making this the basis of final and complete ! success. Contributions may be sent to the state treasurer, Rev. T. J. Conaty D. D., Worcester, Mass.

sherrill Gets No Word.

New York, July 8.-Charles H. Sher- Till, jr, of the Yale graduate advisory committee, said to-day that he had so far received no word from Cambridge formally accepting Yale's propositions, although he had no doubt that every thing would go through all right and he was expecting a telegram every moment. MT. Sherrill said he should think it as reasonble for Yale to ask Cambridge to run a 220 yard hurdle race, as for Cambridge to insist on a three mile run, which is just as un- known to American colleges He ex- poets that Cambridge will suggest something to take the place of the three mile run.

Errington in the Cell
A turnkey and Herald artist and re-
porter travelled the cement foored brio
and iron faced passages in the city Jail
and stopped in front Of a barred and
screened cell door. Almost instantly at a
little opening in it part of face and
shirt-covere shoulders of a man ap-
peared and peered curiously upwards in
to the faces of the visitors. Erringtons $
face, for such it was, was thin and sharp.
The bridge of the nose was prominent,
very close up to the eyes ana was white
just where tn e curve was sha rpest. The
cheeks were red. not the suffused red of
emotion but the red that comes from
continued exposure to the weather. His
eyes were small and in the dim light
might be either blue or gray. He would
not speak. He did not once open or even
move his lips. He simply looked sharply
into the face OF one and then of the other
who had come to see him.

CONFESSED TO A MURDER
Story Told by Prisoner in the Port
land Jail
George Young, Who Disappeared from Sis
sons, Was Killed by His Wife
and the Prisoner

PORTLAND, June 11.-Louis Smithie,
connfied in the county Jail awaiting th =
action of the grand jury on a charge of
stealing a COW, has confessed to the mur-
der of George Young in August. 1892, at
Mott. small place near Dunsmuir, Ca. +,
on Soda creek.
Acting on information received from
Smithie Sheriff Sears arrested Mrs. Reta
Young, widow OF the murdered man, in
log cabin near Beaverton and she now
occupies acell in the county jail ava iting
further developments.
Sheriff Sears has telegraphed to the
sheriff OF Siskiyou county. Cal, concern
ing the confession, and is awaiting an
answer which may throw some addition
al light upon the case other than that
contained in the confession OF Smthie.
The story as told by Smthie is that
five years ago. at Silverton, in Marion
county, he became acquainted with
George Young. who, with his wife and
four children, was residing at the place
and was cutting wood for living.
Smithie engaged to assist Young and
innate with Mrs. Young. Young and
Smithie afterwards moved to Sissons,
Cal. where it was determined by Mrs
Young and Smithle that the husband
must be put out Of the way forever.
Accordingly Mrs. Young made an ap.
point.nent with her husband to meet
her one Sunday evening at Soda springs,
on Soda creek. Young came and was sit
ii ng on the bank of tho creek, when Ills
wife came up behind him ald seized hold
of HIM, and Smithie plunged knife in. D..
to his breast, killing him. He and Mrs.
Young then carried the body to large
hole washed out by the waters of the
creek and put the body into it and GOV.
cred it up with brush. The body is sup
posed to have since been carried away by
the subsequent high water.
Young was missed in the neigh bor-
hood, but as his body was never found,
there was no proof of foul play. and the
residents at Mott could only wonder and
guess at the cause of his Disappearance,
the most reasonable solution of which
was that he was so thoroughly ashamed
OF the conduct OF his wife that he aban-
doned her and had gone to parts un.
known.
