Hunt of the Primitive Methodist church of Manchester, England, thought that as women constituted a major ity of the church attendance they should twine a part of its work. Rev. Dr. e. W.

PAUL ON WOMAN’S PLACE. Rev. Dr. Buckley of New York said that many sensible women must have felt sick at heart to hear the platitudes delivered to day. Woman should not give up a higher power for a lower. Ht. Paul had said they should not take the place of man.

All t.he gentlemen were in separate carri ages, each accompanied by some distin guished veteran of the city. About fifty mounted men and nearly 2,009 infantry were in line when the start was made down Main street. This thoroughfare, and in fact nearly the entire city, was profusely dec orated, and the procession was received with tremendous cheering by tho imraeuss crowds ou the streets throughout the route of the parade.

He Killed Her Husband'and Then She Went to Live With Him. Columbia, S. C., Oct. 13.—A special to the Register from Marion says: “One of the most no able murder caseß in the history of Marion county has been going on for the past two days. William Summerset, a ne gro, is charged with the murder of E M. Fore, a prominent citizen, in January, 1885, aud having since lived with Pore’s wife. o*6 hundred and twenty witneises were summoned. Fore’s wife nad been living in Columbia with Summerset and he was caught there. She is descended from the most prominent fam ilies of the county, which makes the facts brought out more revolting. Summerset will probably be hanged.” BOUu PL AY FEARED. Nothing Heard From a Sheriff and His Deputy in Ten Dave. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 13.—A speoial to the Age-Herald , from Florence, says considerable uneasiness exists there over the continued absence of Sheriff Porter and Deputy Sheriff Hines.

The Ability of tbe Texan on the Floor and on the Stump Admitted—Th9 Georgian Looked Upon as Better Adapted to the Duties of Prasidlng Officer. Washington, Got 18.- Representative Hemphill of South Carolina, who has been variously quoted as to tbe speakership, spoke for himself to-day a9 follows! “I think, not to speak in disparagement of tbe other candidates, that Mr. Crisp is the best man for the speakership. The old mem bers generally appreciate his peculiar fit ness for tbe position, and I have no doubt of his eieotioo. Mr. MtlD has performed party services which we all appreciate, and I regret deeply that he should run for an office to which he cannot be elected. WILL VOTE AGAINST HIM WITH REGRET. “Many of us will vote against him with regret that we feel compelled to do so, but a man however able and distinguished is not fitted for every position to which he may aspire. The interests of the party will bo best subserved by tbe election of Mr. Crisp, I believe, and therefore I shall vote for him. Ho is sound on all democratic principles, as all the old members who have served with him know. He has the qualities of a safe leader, chief among them sound judgment. Mr. Mills will belter serve the party on the floor and on the stump. He has few equals. It is no disparagement of his ability to say that he is not just fitted for the speakership. The speakership cannot be considered as a reward for party services, but as a place where work must be done and great skill as a manager and great, good judgment are Important.” DEMANDS OF THE ALLIANCE. Mr. Hemphill said also: “The alliance folks are very active. Ido not see that there has been any diminution of their activity, hut I do uot think that the aliiauce of the south could be led into any third party movement. Many of their demands are proper enough and gro w out of the present condition of affairs. I think that a reduction of taxation aud a safe and proper increase of the currency will satisfy them. Undoubtedly there is need of more currency and 1 thiuk it is possible to msko the necessary increase in a perfectly safe manner, so that one dollar will be as good as auy other dollar without any depreciation of the value of our cur rency.” BAUM'S DAYB NUMBERED. He la Supposed to Have Been Prom ised a Piece With the Wor.d’a Fair. Washington, Oct. 13.—Secretary Noble gave the impression to some of the officials in the interior department to-day that during his visit to Chicago he fixed things up so that Pension Commissioner Raum will before long, though probably not before the eieotioa, quietly withdraw from the pension office. Secretary Noble saw Com missioner Raum frequently wbile they were both attending the meeting of the Army of the Tennessee, and is believed to have made a satisfactory arrangement with him and for him. Inasmuch as Com missioner Raum’s financial straits are as severe as ever, and he has nothing in the way of private business to fall t ack,upon it was necessary to his peaceful withdrawal to provide au income for him. TO WORK FOR THE WORLD’S FAIR. This, it is believed. Secretary Noble, act ing for the President, as well as for himself, has been able to laduc9 tho world’s fair to do by making a place for Commissioner Raum so that he will go out withoutfurther pretest from his friends, the agents. The President’s chief difficulty no sr is to find a successor for Commissioner Raum who .rill redeem the reputation of the pension office. It has been suggested that if he could per suade Gen. Henry V. Boynton to take the place it would be a long step toward this much desirpd result. CLEMENTS’ CHANCES. He Will 3o Appointed !f tbe Plum is Given to Georgia. Washington, Oot. 13.— The President said to a southern senator who oalied to day to urge the appointment of an Alabama man ori the inter state commerce commis sion that he thought Alabama had bad her share of offices. Georgia, he added, had done pretty well, too. Texas, he said, had not bad so many, and he would appoint Representative Culbertson to this place but for the fast that he understood Representa tive Culbertson preferred to tie a circuit judge. Of course Texas could not have both. Kentucky aud Tennessee, be thought, had been rather neglected, especially Tennessee, under the last as well as under this administration. If he could find the right man in Tennessee, he would like to make him interstate commerce commis sioner. If he could not find a Tennesseean, he iniimatod that he would appoint ex- Representative Clements of Georgia, whose recommendations are more weighty than those of any candidate, and who is person ally known and liked by the President. IRON WORK3*ATTACHttD. Claims Amounting to SIOO,OOO Filed Against a Kansas Company.

They Will Now Attempt to Drive Every Parnel Ute from Public Life. The Refusal of the Parnellltea to Forget Past Differences Declared Traitorous to Ireland. Dublin, Oct, 13.— The Freeman's Jour nal to-dav bitterly deplores the announced intention of the members of parliament who represent the Parnellite party to nurture the faetioual feud which has existed between themselves and the party acknowledging Justin McCarthy as its leader. The Journal adds that should they continue in their determination ‘'unending strife is in prospect, and it they place before tho country the programme thus offered to it, it is the greatest act of cruel and useless t reach ary ever perpetrated upou the Irish oat Ion.” The National Press, tho organ of the McCarthyites, also commenting upou tho manifesto of the Parnellite party, remarks: “Tbe Parnellites, as is well known, are now mere puppets of the secret societies.” Parnell’s brother to run. It is generally believed that John Howard Parnell will contest for the feat In parlia ment (Cork city) left vacant by the death of Charles Stewart Parnell. Mrs. Diokinson, married sister of the late Mr. Parnell, has written a letter in which she says sne desires to correct the impres sion formed regarding an interview with her which was recently printed. Mrs. Dick inson says much us her brother desired to see union in the Irish parliamentary party she is certain he would never hare sanctioned the ouion between those whom lie regarded as the cSampio ,* of Ireland’s national honor and those whom ho looked upon as Its betrayers. The Freeman's Journal to day says the manifesto of tbe Parnellitor renders honor able reconciliation impossible, and thut it is now under solemn obligations to advise the Irish people to drive from public life every mail continuing in tho minority party. m’carthy won’t issue a manifesto. Justin McCarthy, in an interview to day, said he did not intend to issue a countermauifesto or ‘reply to the mani festo issued by the Paruetlites ias night. Mr. McCarthy said that ho trusted to the nation's verdict and particularly to the good sense of the Irish to estimate the true significance of tho division which still ex isted in the Irish parliamentary party. Mr. McCarthy also said he was surprised and fll.ed with sorrow at the fact that the document re ferred to should have boon issued at the present moment. He said his colleagues hoped that over the grave of Mr. Parnell *ll differences would have been forgotten. In conclusion Mr. McCarthy said that all he and bis colleagues cared to remember now was Mr. Parnell’s noble endeavor to pro mote the interests of Ireland. Mas. Parnell’s dangerous condition. London. Oct. 13.—The health of Mrs. Parnell continues to come the greatest anx iety to her friends. Her condition is such as to necessitate the greatest care. A letter from Capt. O’Shea, writte 1 on the eve of the Parnoll fueral, Is ouhlished here. The writer says: “Tuere will be an immense demonstration to-morrow, which will probably intensify the bitterness of the factions. I anticipate a period of recrimi nation and personal rivalries ending in the break-up of the cause, The time that this will take depends upon the subscriptions of the Clan-im-Gael. If these aro resumed business will be carried on, otherwise the end is at hand. The Irish ate always mure interested in a man than in a principle, ex cept where the latter, as iu the agrarian agitation, carries with it a pecuniary ad vantage. The clergy will bo unable to pay tbeir candidates, and they have rendered independent candidates al most impossible. There is no chance at preseat for any one in Irish politics who is neither an Orangeman nor a moonlighter. How I existed through my troubles I hardly undersiaud. I succeeded probably because I fought alone, had neither help nor ad vice, and therefore there were no divided councils. O’CONNOR’S BIOGRAPHY OF PARNELL. Thomas Power O’Connor’s life of Charles Stewart Parnell has jus. appoured. It bears but few traces of hurried preparation, yet it is a book of 223 nazes aud contains a great deal in a small compass. All previous biographies of Mr. Parnell accord to Avondale th* honor of the place of his birth, Mr. O’Connor says he heard Mr. Par nell slate that this is ir.correot. He was horn at Brighton. Among In* earliest influences were the stories ho had heard in his child hood from au old servant of tho family, uat rating tho horrible cruelties tbe Irish suffered during the rebellion. These made ” Mr. Parnell the man he became. From his mother also were derived traditions thoroughly hostile to tho existing relations of England and Ireland. Though intensely Irish in senti ment, Mr. O’Connor always regarded Mr. Parnell, in physique and charaotr, in character above all au American. traits of his early like. While he was studying at Cambridge he was more dev ued to athletic sports than he uss to his studies. It is doubtful whether he ever read a poem or novel throughout his life, uot even the poems of Thomas Moore. He first read Irish history while a prisoner at Kiimainham. In bis early manhood be was of unstained m >ral character. He be came engaged tj a yo.ug lady of Rhode Island, who jilted him for another. Re ferring to his first appearance in parlia ment. Mr. O’Connor say* tnat the Irish member* then le 1 a life of isolated struggle. The loneliness of Mr. Parnell must always be borne in mm j when one considers the terrible event that ultimately darkened and destroyed his life and I brought his untimely end. butt’s death charged to him. Isaac Butt then led the party. Iu tbe S resent moments when passionate friends of ir. Parnell denounce his opponent* as mur derers, it is well to recall the fact that Mr. Parnell undoubtedly helped to break poor Isaac Butt’s heart and to hasten his end. After a rapid returns of known points In his parliamentary career, the writer uliudes to the charge leveled at Mr. Parnell that he misled intimate friends as to tha truth In regard to his relations with Mr-. O’Shea. He says: “Mr. Parnell may have said that be came out of the trial with his character untarnished. Cer tainly be so wrote to one of his most affectionate and faithful friend*. Wbat be probxbly meant was indicated in a few words iie pok> tbe day after bis re election by the party, in which ‘lifting,’ as he caul, 'a corner of tb* curtain,' he denied emphatically that he had betrayad friend ship, abused hospitality or broken a happy, united hoot*. Circumstance* seemed to Mr. Parnell, aa m the caas of Lancelot, to 'make dishonor honorable and fa sahood truth.’ ” HIM SUBSEQUENT MANIFESTO, The effect of Mr. Parnell's subsequent manifesto to the Irish delegatee ibeu in A merles is thus detcrtiied; “Every member of the delegation ele ct TilhoUtv Herring - toa was Indignant. Disbelief, -lisirust sod despair SimasJ*J ssefa other We rushed out to the first station whence it was pos sible to send a cablegram, and announced to oar col.engues in Ireland that henoe forth wo were to be counted among the oppouents of Mr. Par oil’s leidersbip. It has been represented that wa acted on the cablegrams of others. Tnis is false and un just to Air. Parnell. Oar judgment was roaehod on Mr. Parnell's own words." Pro ceeding to comment on the alteration of his appearance and character after the div.rce disclosures. It is remarked that he had been (Inscribed as having been murdered. The baud that struck him down was his own. A STRANGE PROMONITION. Strangely enough the Idea that he would one day ruin himself was familiar to his colleagues for many year*. One instance of his aberration was hi* famous auswer to the commission about deceiving the House. He had been then for a considerable time looked upon by his fronds as so distrait that they instinctively anticipated that he would say something wrong in sheer absent-uiindoess. When he sat down he war quitosurprised upon helDg told that he had committed a dreadful blunder. A stranger visiting the House of Commons would find it hard to understand why he produced such an offset there. PARLIAMENTARY STUMBLING. He stumbled constantly. He had a vary scant vocabulary aud by no means a large stock of ideas. He was also very careless in prepar.ng material*, which work he put off to the last moment. It was quite com tnou to find him at Tilvary ploughing la boriously through figures of which he bad no mastery whatever, at a time when he ought to have been atjthe -house ready to speak. Ou such occasions his colleagues went through untold agoulas. At the last mo ment he would appear armed with a bundle of papers, badly arranged and digestod, but the House, sensitive as a barometer of bis personal charnetor, always felt the full f irce of this extraordinary man * strength. SPOKE A3 IF SOLILOQUIZING. Wlion he rose to address it, be spoke in low tones, often with inattention to the audience, which made tho speech liiio a soliloquy. “But on rare occasions there were outbursts of the fierce, (leva stat ing passion raging within. Then his voice changed to a hoarse, sullon sound, and his mouth was almost cruel. His right arm was thon held forth In denunciation. I. have seen tho house quail before such au outburst of savage, though seemingly coid rage, lu most parliamentary gifts he was vastly in ferior to some of Ins colleagues, but he was a consummate tactician. By Instinct be seemed to know tho tight thing to do. I never regarded him as a high!) intellectual man. ESSENTIALLY NARROW. He was essentially narrow, and to this narrowness 1 attribute the final mistake of his life. When Mr. McCarthy, before the meeting in the committee room, told him what Mr. Gladstone had said, his reply was t > pooh pooh the whole business ns a mere non conformist howl, which would die out If defied. One reason for his attitude was his latent dislike tor Englishmen. He never got over this. His stroigth wa* in his chnraoier, not in hi* intelleot, aud to bad ends and self destruction were the samo terrible strength of will and tonacity of purpose devoted that were formerly given to nobis aud wise ef forts. Among his followers were many vrito a stubborn will mid inflexible resolu tion, yet sil was as elay in the potter's hamls when he chuse to exercise that power. His subjugation of his race from a restless, torn faction into a great, united and absolutely obedient whole, was one of tlie most remarkable achieve ments in political leadership lu the history of mankind.
