He was, sir. 1 didn't pay no attention

M'CARTHY'S MANIFESTO.
He Appeals to Irish Members to End
Their DissensiOns.

He Appeals TO 1r1Sn members TO Emu
Their Discussions.
LONDON, Aug. 7.-Mr Justin Nc
Carthy, leader of the Irish National par
ty, has issued a manifesto appealing to
the Irish members of parliament to end
the dissensions in the ranks of their par
ty, which he says, have brought disaster
to the national cause.
They are themselves responsible, he
added, for the return of the Unionists to
power Continuing Mr.. Mccarthy as
serts that it is almost impossible to over
estimate the disastrous effect of Mr.. T.
Nj. Healy's charges made at the National
convention at Omagh, county Tyrone, on
July 8.
Mr. HeaIy on that occasion accused
Mr.. John Dillon of selling Tyrone to the
English party and read letter from Mr..
Edward Blake, N. P, to Privy Coun cillor
Dixon informing him the Nationalist
Federation would be unable in future to
subsidze North and South Tyrone or
North and South Londonderry, which he
asked should be subsidized henceforth in
the sum of 900 pounds yearly by the
Liberals.
1t appeared from the statements made
that the then government whip, Mr..
Thomas Ellis, M. P, consented to this,
understanding that seats were to be CON
sidered Liberal and not Home Rule seats.
Mr.. Mccarthy, in his manifesto, states
that Mr.. Healy's charges are unfounded,
grossly, ludlcrously untrue and that Mr.
HeaIy's action was disloyal to his Iarty.

father, DR.. King, was elected register of

An Old Soldier Walks goo Miles to To-

Robert Durant is an old soldier who
has lived in Pratt county for several
years. As the time for drawing his pen
sion approached, he concluded to walk
to Topeka, distance of 200 miles, to
draw his pension, and he arrived yester-
day little the worse for his long trip. He
started from home three weeks ago, and
has been on the road ever since.
He says that he stopped occasionally
TO inquire for work, but in the entire
distance he failed to find a single place
where he could earn even a dollar. When
he reached Topeka he stopped at the
Button house, and paid for his lodging
for the frat time since he started from
home He is satisfied with his expert
ment, and will return home on the train.

He Dies of Alcoholism at Santa Monica,
and Was Penn1ess.

SAN Francisco, Aug. IA special
from Santa Monica to a local paper says
that Jack Gordon. a grand son of the
Chinese Gordon, died there last night of
alcoholism.
Gordon was born in London in 1914,
and was the son of Captain Gordon of
the British navy, who was a son of the
famous general. who, in 1867, was killed
by the mahdi at Khartoum
Young Gordon, who, up to about twelve
years ago. was a clerk in the Bank of
England, separated from his wife, owing,
it is said, to his drinking. and came to
this country with about $40, 900, engaging
in the paving business with a wealthy
Englishman in Sioux Falls, S. D. They
failed and Gordon was penniless. He
went to Santa Monica nine years ago,
and of late has gained a livelihood by
acting as a porter in a saloon.
