 "A child born on this day should keep
 in employ and not attempt any business on
 it's own account as failure is sure" | Today when all England is rejoicing at | the practical annihation of the Liberal | party, to which Charles Stewart Parnell | gave the power of governing the British 1 Empire, comes the ninth anniversary of | poor Parnell's death. It seems 1t was but l the other day when that most illustrous | Irishman since O'Connell the Liberator was | laundering in the very citadel of British
 rule demanding in words the world heard
 and applauded the independence of Ire land. Parnell died October 6. 1891 l History will keep fresh something of the personality of that extraordinary man. Ire- land will remember him forever, regardless l of what certain leaders have said or done. | At the anniversary of his death every year | faithful men from every community of the | island journey to Glasnevn cemetery, Dub- | lin, to pay tribute to the memory of the
 man who more ably than any other served
 their cause. In the great ceremony a hun 1 dred thousand Irishmen join. The bitterness aroused during the last l days of ParnelFs life can in no measure | obscure his greatness. He fell from his high | state for woman, another mans wife, | whom he took entirely to himself as soon
 as legal bars were removed, and his whole | association with Mrs. OShea was an of | fense against the state and against so- l ciety for which there can be no excuse, no | real paliation. That austere and prudish, | and always narrow minded person, the British Matron. John Bulls wife, n faith was rightfully indignant and she raised such a storm that MT. Gladstone scuttled to the cover of a letter to Justin Mccarthy, or some other Irish leader, repudiating MT. | Parnell. Instantly there was begun the bit | terest and unha ppiest struggle that ever oc- cured amongst the Irish themselves, and | the end is not yet, though the public diff l ferenees have been somewhat publicly set | tied. Great Parnel fell, much as fell "the | noblest Roman of them all,'' by his own hand.
 No man in England, and none well-in- | formed out of it, ever believed for a mo-
 ment that Gladstone had any real friend
 
 | the Irishman to promote his own ambition | There cannot be any doubt that Parnell
 distrusted and detested Gladstone and | simply used him to help Ireland. No man | could use Parnell, except in Ireland s | cause. He was ever ready to sacrifice him. | self for Ireland He was a greater man 1 than Gladstone in all the essentials of | great leadership and great statesmanship. | He was young enough to have been Glad | stones grandson. Were he now living he | would be but fifty-four. And had he been
 born in Lancashire, as Gladstone was and | at Gladstone's time, instead of in the Coun- | ty Wicklow, it is improbable that Glad | stone could have ever been more than a l mere minister of the crown.
 Parnell was absolutely ''cold" man, so l cold that the cutting of his veins might
 have caused iceblood to flow, and his ex-
 traordinary dignity never unbent It was l said that no man ever tried more than | once to be familiar with him. Dozens of l stories are told to illustrate that charac- | teristic. One of the best is at the expense l of T. P. O'Connor "Tay Pay" as he is | universally called, and who, by the way l has just been reelected to Parliament from the Irish Scotland" division of Liv- | erpool and whose wife was an American widow of most interesting-but that's alto- l gether another story.
 Parnell as leader of the Irish party in the House of Commons always selected the de- | baters for his side. One night 'Tay Pay | performed the congenial duty of givin the l guvermint the divil ntoirely. Having fin 1 ished his speech he hurried out of the | house-"Tay Pay'' always was a bit fussy l and encountered his leader in the lobby l Parnell was walking up and down with his | hands behind his back so lost in his own reflections that he spoke to no one, not | even to the great men who passed him. Seeing the calm giant, "Tay Pay grasped l him by the arm and demanded exult- ! ingly:
 | "Parnel, give 'em the divil How did VT like it?"
 Mister ParneI, if you please!" said the | leader with frigid irony, and resumed his i walk without another word 1 Yet this man-and a Protestant, too-was ! absolute master of the warm-hearted, emotional, generously impulsive Catholic | Irish It seems almost a miracle of mans 1 greatness.
 "Parnell defeated Gladstone's government | in the House of Commons in 1885 and drove | the Liberals out of power because Parnell | mistrusted Gladstone in regard to Ireland's rights" said a Birmingham man who was
 residing in the British Isles at that time. l Parliament was dissolved and there was l an appeal to the country. At Edinburg in l November, in the height of the canvass, 1 saw and heard Gladstone make one of his most famous speeches, sat within fifteen | feet of him. He dealt at length with Par | onJ fha,, hxy ba that
