Mobile. August s. :. Colonel Edward l.. Russell. Gencrai Counsel of the Mobile and ohio. with his dauehter. and Hon. Richard V. Tnvlor. General Auditor Of the Mobile and ohio. returned this afternoon in the formers private car rom Wash- ineton ands New York. Asked as to his visit to Rosemount, Colonel Rus-
 sell said he visited Judge Parker in
 comnanv with the Hon. Henry D. Clavton. Alfred Henry Lewis. the au- thor. c. s. Clarke, General Manager of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and his daughter and H. Hatcher. - | We arrived at Esopus station nt about D. m.," said Colonel Russell. | pr. Hall. the spn-in-law of Judge Parker, met us at the station with
 Judge Parker's wagonette. and we were immediately driven to Rose-
 mount. There we met Judge Parker.
 Mrs. Parker. Judge Parker's mother.
 Mrs. Hall, his daughter. and the grand
 children. Upon our arrival. we found Senator and Mrs. Bailey already there. | The home of Judge Parker, while
 unpretentious, is very comfortable in | every respect. The spot Is an ideal
 one. The trees. the lawn. garden,
 barn and other surroundings show that
 they have all constantly received the
 most skilful care and attention. The
 house and all the surroundings im-
 press one with organization and the
 most perfect order. This of itself evil
 dences the character and habits of
 Judge Parker. Everything l saw
 about the premises and in the house. Nand especially in his workshop, con
 vinced me that he is devoted to per- | feet organization and perfect order. l Tt was the first time ever had the pleasure of seeing Judge Parker and
 while I have had quite an experience
 in life and have met many of our great
 and distinguished men I do not think
 l have ever met a man of more pleas
 ing and attractive personality. He Is absolutely free from all suited and lifeless conventionalities. There is a | real and genuine heartiness in his face | and manner. He is absolutely unaf- | fected in manner and speech.
 ITO sum 1t up, he is as fine a speci- l men physically and mentally of the perfect type of the American citizen | as l have ever seen. He looks like an l athlete and I never saw a better head | set on the shoulders of any man and | I might go further and say I never saw | better pair of shoulders. If elected President I am convinced that the | American people will never have had | o ihoA O loyoi, all AOuHus cNCIyudys COIu- | mon sense American in the White House.
 Any man who sees and talks with him will be convinced at once that with Judge Parker for President the rights | as we'll as the interests of every citi- | zen of this country, without regard to his position in life, will be safeguard | ed by an integrity equal to that of old Regulus and firmness equal to that of Andrew Jackson or Grover Cleve- | land, and an order of intelligence that has never been surpassed by any occu- pant of the White House."
 News was received in the city this | morning of the death in Philadelphia yesterday of Max Arnold Hess, known
