GREAT PARNELL STATUE.
Americas Part in the Tribute to a
Notable Man.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUBLIN. December 21.-The task be-
fore the newly formed Parnell monument
committee should not be very difficult.
The Irish people in America have given
the whole race a stimulating lead, if
stimulus were wanted. Out Of their gen.
erosity they have provided for the cost Of
the statue and all the bronze ornamental
ton for the monument. together with the
plans and specifications. the amount of
the contract with Saint Gaudens being
So. 200.
for the erection of the masonry and arch
itectural work, estimated to cost not less
than $4,000. A magnificent site has been
secured for a magnificent work, the last
from the hands of sculptor of world
wide fame, and 1t was due to the MEM
DRY of Parnell and to the artistic taste
tors art that the masonry and architectu-
raj work should be worthy of this great
figure and the site dedicated to it.
In the autumn of 1889 the movement
was set on foot to erect a national mon
ument to Mr.. Parnell in Dublin. After
some time small committee was formed
under the presidency of the lord mayor.
Mr.. Daniel Talon, and this committee
proceeded to solicit subscriptions and to
obtain site from the Dublin corporation
for the erection of the monument. The
fundation stone of the monument was
laid at the top of O'Connell street. outside
the Rotunda, October 8. 1899. The statue
itself is eight feet high.

GOOD TEXTILE SEASON.
British Cotton Manufacturers Did
Very Well.

special CaDlegram 10 Inc olar
LONDON, December 21.-The position
of the great Lancashire textile trade is
one Of considerable interest at this time.
Practically all branches of this industry
have enjoyed great prosperity during
nearly three years; an ample supply of
the raw material has been coincident with
a high level of prices for yarn and man
ufactured piece goods, and there has been
a large expansion in the volume of the
home and foreign trades. Manufacturers
in both the spinning and weaving sections
of the industry have reaped large profits,
and dividends ranging from 10 to 40 per
cent have been paid by many Of the mills.
Some Of these undertakings have adopted
the policy of prudent finance characters
tic of the better class of other limited
liability companies, and have added large
sums to reserve out of their earnings. with
the result that, generally speaking, the
Lancashire cotton companies were never
in a sounder financial position tnan they
occupy at the present time.
The reports of the great textile COM
panies fully reflect the Favorable condi-
tions which have recently prevailed in
the industry. The smaller companies have
also done WELL and in recently issued
cotton trade circular Mr.. William latter
sail of Manchester gave list of thirty
seven cotton spinning companies winch
had taken stock for the preceding SIX
months, the profit figures working out at
40 per cent per annum on the share cap
ital and 80 per cent on all capital EN-
ployed The total of the share capita! was
81. 25S, 7O5 and the loan capiedi s2,51O,645.

ENGLISH GERMANS PROTEST.
They See Awful Things in the
.-Kaiser's Recent Visit.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. December 2l.-The fact that
the kaiser has been conducting his official
business % English soil is profoundly ag.
itating the Germanophobe party hero One
paper says that Highcliffe is nothing less
than an English .Potsdam," and implies
that when the kaiser came here he should
have abstained from utilizing his stay for
official purposes.
1t is, of course, accepted by this class OF
thinkers that the only serious work that
ever engages the attention of the kaiser
is the undermining of England's power
ana interests. They are of opinion there
ore, that during his stay in this country
he might have had the good feeling to
refrain from pursuing this pernicious work.
They view with particular suspicion such
attempts to throw dust in the eyes of
their countrymen as the kaisers kissing
of the little girl of the Countess of Ork-
ney.
1t must be clear to any one &c ordinary
penetration that this apparently f,:andly
act covers some particularly turpitudinou,
scheme against this country Then the
emperor's apparently innocent motor rides
are really undertaken so that he NAV lay
up information against the day when his
pet plan OF invading England is carried
into effect.

FACTORY WOMEN DRUNKARDs.
Crusade Carried on by Canon Denton
Thompson.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. December 21.-Canon Dem
ton Thompson has within the past few
months been actively engaged in or
ganizing a crusade against drinking
clubs for women in the, Birmingham
factories. So tactfully has he performed
this difficult task that he has already
secured the cooperation Of several
well-know'n Birmingham manufacture
ers, who are in entire sympath with
the proposal to circularize employers in
the city and district on the subject. AS
the result of the rector's inquiries he
found that there has gradually grown
up in the city secret system of organ
ICED drinking among the women and
girls working in the factories. He states
that these have been invited and en-
couraged, and even cOerced to. Join
drinking clubs and to pay a weekly
subscription of a penny. or threepence,
or even more, or to contribute 10 a gen.
raj collection made by one in au-
thority.
AS to the effects of this system upon
the female workers. the rector has
large accumulation of facts illustrating
the degradation that has followed in
numbers of instances. go to the homes

are some of the effects" Both the
