END OF A FAMOUS HosTELRY.
A Hotel Where Parneu Drew Up the
Irish Campaign Plans.

Morrisons Hotel. one of the old land
marks of Dublin. is being RACED to the
ground to afford site for offices for an
insurance company. The building has
historic associations for irishmen and
was once among the best patronized
and most popular hotels In Dublin. 1t
was famous as Parnell's resort.
1t was originally one of the town houses
Of the Fitzgerald family, who owned
great deal of property in the vicinity in
clduing the famous Leinster House. over
the door of the hotel at the present day
are the Fitzgerald arms. and in the sup
ports are prominent figures of two
monkeys. In commomoratton Of strik

seats of the Fitzgeralds. took fire. the

which took the infant in his arms and
clambC red from point to point with it's
precious burden, finally reaching the
ground with il in safety.
PdrnelIs first arrest was effected at
Morrison Hotel on october Il. 1881.
rsrncll was thence taken to iilmainham
Gaol, where he was confined as a "sus-
pect" until the following May. 1t was
at this hotel that Parneirs friend, the
late DR. J. j.. Kenny, discovered Par
neil's extraordinary superstition. Going
into his writing room one day Parnell
saw green cloth on the table. He at
once had II removed. and the same even
ing he refused To enter another room In
the hotel in which three candles were
burning. Three candlcsticks are supposed
in TIL. minds of representations people to
mean death, and "a green tablecloth fore
tells disaster. Parnell more than once
said that the Irish cause would never
prosper until the Irish people disc lrdeI
green their national color for the
older blue.
When in Dublin Parnen always stayed
at Morrisons up to the time of his death.
Ii was there he outlined the national
programme. and the agrarian moveia. nts
in Ireland.

LATE DISCOVERIES IN EGYPT.
beautiful Work Wrought Six Thou
sand Five Hundred Years Ago.

Nfroi. Flinders Petr1e, in the London llmes-)
We are now able to trace out the regu-
lar DEVELOPMENT of the civilization during
some 400 years-from the time when writ
ing was but rarely used, and then only
in rude and pictorial stage, down to
the common use of delicately figured HER
oglyphs indistinguishable from those used
for thousands of years after.
We have now in our hands the t,auti-
fully wrought jewelry and gold WORK, the
infinitely engraved worries, the toilet OBJ
jects, of Menes. thefounder Of the mon
archy, and his successor, fashioned more
than $500 years ago
OF Menes and his predecessors there are
about thirty inscriptions and labels in
stone and ivory. From these we learn
certainly the names of three kingS-Nar-
mer, Ia, and name written with a hsh
sign. Perhaps also bet and sam are
two other names. but they are more prob
ably word signs.
Among these works of Menes are parts
of four ebony tablets with figures and in
scriptions. one apparently showing hu-
man sacrifice. The strangest object Is
massive strip of gold of unknown use
with the name of Menes tAhD uPon 1t.
OF Ter, the successor of Menes, the as
tonishing find is the forearm of his queen,
still in its wrappings, with four splendid
bracelets intact. One is a series of fig
ures of the royal hawk perched on the
tomb, thirteen figures in cast and chased
gold alternating with fourteen carved in
turquoise
The second bracelet is of spiral beads
of gold and lazuli in three groups. The
third bracelet is of four groups of hour
glass beads. amethyst between gold, with
connections of gold and turquoise. The
fourth has a centrepiece of gold copied
from the rosette seed of a plant, with
amethyst and turquoise beads and bands
of braided gold wire.
This brilliant and exquisitely finished
group of jewelry shows what a high level
was already attained at the beginning of
the First Dynasty. 1t is 2,G00 years older
than the jewelry of Dashur, the Oldest
yet known; and ii has the great ad-
vantage of being carefully examined as
found. and rcstrung in its exact arrange
mcnt.
The arm of the queen had been broken
off by the first of plunderers. and laid
in hole in the wall of the tomb. There
it had remained neglected by the four
parties in ancient and modern times who
had successfully cleared out the tomb

the negro version of the origin Of his
physical pecuiiarities. The story is only
a tradition handed down from generation
to generation and has no Importance
than other stories which are found among
the various races of mankind to account
for their origin. 1t ranks with the Ro
man story of Romulus and Remus. with
Adam and Eve of the Hebrews and of
similar attempts to explain origin.
1t would seem, however, if this negro
tradition can be considered seriously, that
of physical beauty which was desirable
and therefore perpetuated bv selection.

II Is curious coincidence well worth
noting that the negroes of the South have
a Iegand which, according to Joel Chand-
Ter Harris has been treasured for gem
erations among the negroes Of Africa and
Is still believed by the Southern darby,
that in the beginning all men were black.
AS the story goes, the negroes heard Of
a email lake whose waters had the pow
or of changing the color of the skin from
black TO white when coming in contact
with the skin. To this lake. therefore,
all men repaired and those who were i'm
mersed in its waters were turned white
and became the ancestors of the white
races. The last to reach the lake found
the waters all used up and dissipated
leaving only enough moisture to wet the
palms of the hands and the soles Of the
feet, thus accounting for the light palms
and soles of the negro of today. This is

Duke Denies Miss POrtia Knights
Charge That He Promised to
Make Her His Vile.

New York. March s.--A correspondent
at London cables as follows:
| saw the Duke OF Manchester at the
Carlton club and he denied that any en-
gagement had ever existed between him
and Miss Portia knight. the American
actress, OF Marlborough Mansion, West
minister. whose representatives served
him with papers-An a breach OF promise
suit as he landed from the Oceanic at
Liverpool
The duke was evidently surprised at
the action taken by Miss knight and
said he would contest the suit to the end.
II Is said the duke loved Miss Knight In
the past but she had no money and his
creditors insisted that he marry a wealthy
woman. Nevertheless, itsis known TO me
and others that the engagement did exist
last summer. and the case causes great
excitement.
Miss Knight ~has been discreet and is
very popular among certain classes. al
though she is not widely known.
SHE WANTS JUSTICE.
I saw her In her cosy fiat on Victoria
street. She declined TO discuss the suit
II will have Justice" she said. II may
be an actress. but no duke can trifle with
me-"
The papers were served upon the young
duke as he and his American wife came
down the gsneplank from the Oceanic
at Liverpool
Miss Knight. In her AFFIDAVIT, declared
the duke had promised 10 make her his
wife aud she fully expected 20 be q
duchess until she learned that the noble-
man had married Miss zimmerman.
when the papers were served, Manches-
Ter placed them in his pocket and said.
II will refer this TO my solicitor"
