In the winter of 1880 Charles Stew,
art Parnell spent a day or two at
Albany. He was then the command
ing figure in the public affairs of
Great Britain. His power was such
that he was able to ask, Into which
party shall l give the government of
the realm?"
Mr.. Parnell was accompanied while
on his visit to Albany by his mother
and two or three American relatives.
He visited the city for the purpose of
making an appeal for funds. He
lodged at the old Delavan House, but
he was rarely seen excepting at meal
times. His place in the dining-room
was at the end of the hall nearest
the entrance. There table was re-
served for him and for the others of
his party.
His face was that Of sphinx. He
appeared to be unconscious that upon
him were fixed the glances of every
one in the dining room. Some of those
who lived at the hotel at that time
were men of influence in the PUBLIC
affairs of the day. Many of the State
senators dwelt there during the ses-
sion of the Legislature. That was the
winter home of Lieutenant-Gove
Hosl<ins, as it was also of General
James w. Hustled, who at the session
of the Legislature of that winter was
serving one of his many terms as
speaker of the Assembly.
General Husted's seat in the dining
room was at a table diagonally across
the aisle from the table occupied by
Parnell and his party.
General Hustled confessed to me
that try as hard as he would he could
not keep his eyes off of Parnell.
"I realized" said the general,
when l found that, in spite of the
strongest effort OF will, my eyes con-
stantly were turned toward Parnell,
that / was under something of the
spell of the man that 1 believe to be
the real source of his power.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Secret Of ParneIl's Power as Leader

81 think I read through Parnelfs
makeup, temperamental and mental,
very WELL" said General Hustled. "Of
one thing l became cOnvinced-Par-
nell never could have gained in the
United States the imperial power as a
leader which he gained in Parliament
and over the Irish.
First of all, in this country, no
man can become a great leader who
does not possess a certain personal
magnetism, like that which charac-
terized Blaine In the United States
the people would not tolerate for any
length of time as leader a man who
looked out from those great dark and
! chilling eyes upon them without the
slightest expression of emotion or
interest in tleni
"I doubt vc-y much whether Par
nell could have had any success as
an American politician. He certainly
would not have succeeded as a leader
of Tammany Hall, for he would have
had no patience with some of its
methods, the sort of fraternity or
philanthropic disposition which goes
far to explain Tammany's strength In
New York City.
"The great leader in the United
States must have what, in the slang
of the day is called the glad hand.
/ was persuaded after my study of
Parnell that this was the gift which
was not in his nature and one which
he could not cultivate. I attribute
very much of ParnelPs success to his
mastery knowledge of parliamentary
law and tactics, and for this reason
the only place in the United States
where he could have gained personal
power was the House of Represent
atives at Washington"

There seems to be a growing

ever been let out before in labor

A college president a generation ago
would not have called the man next

Both instances are manifestations of
a departure from those lines of rea-
son and sobriety of judgment so vital
in a people who govern themselves.

anarchy. and no doubt we are, that
departure is In the direction of law

Some Baby Facts.

A normal baby weighs seven to seven
and one-half pounds ut birth. fifteen
pounds at five or six months and TWEEN
ty-one pounds at twelve months. The
baby should double its weight in six
months and treble it at about twelve
months. Its length at birth is twenty
to twenty-one inches, at six months
twenty-five to twenty-six inches. and
at twelve months the length is twenty
eight to twenty-nine inches. Gains in
weight are more rapid during the first
six months. The average weekly gain
is about four ounces. The best time
to have a baby vaccinated is in its
first year. If 1t is healthy 1t may be
vaccinated at the end Of the third
month.-Health Bulletin.
