Continuing his testimony before the Parnell commission in London yesterday, Capt, O'Shea said: Mr. Parnell said that Sheridan would be & most useful man in the work of patting down boycotting. When Mr. Parnell was in Kilmain- ham jail a letter was written by Mr. Parnell which witness took to Mr. Forster, then chief secretary for Ireland. The letter was after- ward presented to the cabinet. Attorney-General Webster here read the let- ter. It expressed Mr. Parnell’s opinion that if the arrears question were settled be and his coll would be able to outrages. ‘After the letter had been continned Capt. O'Shea, Mr. Parnell said he would tell Dilion and O'Keliy, letting them know as much as was for them. day after the Pha- nix Park murders Mr. Parnell showed witness the anti-murder manifesto which it had been decided to issue. It was a mistake, said the witness, to say that Mr. Parnell was notin favor ofthe manifesto, He only disliked the amount of bombast in the document, but he said that ij- | that was necessary in order to satisty Davitt's vanity. (Laughter, in which Mr. Parnell and Sara Semone itn 3 e Bee liged to for police protection, as Seer vase mentee ont's omer ot Sheri was a murderer an murders, Mr. Parnell replied that he did not communicate with Sheri ly. Seven letters were here shown to witness, who declared with certainty that the signature attached to them was that of Mr. Parne! Sir Charles Russell here asked the court to permit him to postpone the crose-examination of the witness. He said the latter part of O'shea's evidence came upon him asa surprise. Justice Hannen declined, and Sir Charles Russell decided oh age, and Capt. O'Shea, in reply to his questions, said thi . Buckle, editor of the Times, had asked Mr. Chamberlain to get him to give evidence. Mr, Houston, the secretary of the Irish Loyal Union, saw him take down in short-hand his statement for the Times. Mr. Houston told him it was a state secfet how the Times got the letters. Witness had heard Piggott and Calan mentioned as the men who had given the letters to the Times, Witness knew Patrick Casey, but did not know him as a dynamiter. He had heard through a nationalist named Mulquenny that the police had found a letter in the league's rooms in London in which Frank ee the receipt of a check from Mr. Parnell, which had been sent to him to enable him to escape from the country, but the authorities had as- sured him that no such letter had been seized. Sir Charles Russelli—“Did you ever threaten Mr. Parnell?” The witness—“Threatéh him! How do you mean? I have been angry with him, and once I turned him out of my rooms in Dublin.” a Bussell—“Why did you turn him o The Witness—‘I told him to get out, as I did not want to see him +e Sir Charles Russell—Have you ever said you would be revenged on Mr. Parnell?” The Witness—‘I never remember saying so.” Sir Charles Russell—“Have you ever said that you had a shell charged with dynamite to blow him up?” Witness answered, “No.” To further questions the witness replied that he saw the original of the fac-simile of one of the Time’s letter last week. He believed the writ- ing was Mr. Parnell’s. Recurring to the Kil- mainham jail treaty negotiations, witness said the chief conditions of the negotiations were that the league should be broken up if the Irish landlords would reduce their rents and receive compensation from the exchequer. Many of the memoranda which he had made were destroyed in 1883, when there was danger of a select committee of parliament being ap- pointed to inquire into the Kilmainham treaty, and it was intimated to him that the utmost reticence ought to be observed on the subject. Sir Charles Russell—‘Intimated by whom’ Witness—“By Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt, who said it was the opinion of another person— namely, Mr. Gladstone.” This statement caused a sensation. Sir Charles Russell—‘‘Was it then you de- stroyed the memorandas?” Witness—“Yes. Certain memoranda which were in another box, and which included some of Mr. Chamberlain's letters, escaped destruc- tion. It was Mr. Gladstone's wish tha: be as reticent as possible from motives of po- litical expediency.” The fac-simile of the Times’ letter was again handed to witness, and he said that he was de- cidedly of the opinion that it was Mr. Parnell’s writing. He had never discussed the question asto how the Times became possessed of it, because he did not know. When he first saw the letter in the Times he did not think it was genuine. This was not because of any pe- culiarity in the writing, but because he could not understand why Mr. ell should say, “You may show him this, but do not tell him my address.” itness said he never had any doubt about the signature. He had had numerous letters from Mr. Parnell of about the same date as the letter referred to, and could not mistake the writing. Under cross ‘examination by Mr. Healy, witness stated that when he contested Galway for parliament the Parnellites attacked and denounced him in every way in their power. The court at this point adjourned. Sir Chas, Russell's cross-examination was ex- _— to elicit the reason for the rupture ‘tween O'Shea and Parnell, but both sides choose to leave this unrevealed. The witness stated that up to June, 1886, he believed in Parnell’s honor, and knew that he was opposed to outrages. Neither Sir Chas, Russell nor Sir Richard Webster proceeded to inquire as to what caused him to disbelieve in Parnell’s honor. Whatever was the cause of the rupture, the animus of the witness was apparent. The Parnellites probably felt the quiet ity of the evidence more keenly yo the it in- formed outsider. Judge Hilton Looked Out for Himself. HIS SHARE OF THE A. T. STEWART ESTATE. In the Stewart will case in New York yester- day, the expert accountant testified that, ac- | cording to the figuring of Mr. Stewart during his life, the rents from the 10th-street property amounted to $175,000 a year above the cost of | maintenance, Under Mr. Hilton’s management Mrs. Stewart received only $708,289.87 in ten years, The witness testified also that Mr. Hil- ton had charged Mrs. Stewart $5,095 for yas- fixtures and coal used in the Stewart buil on Reade street after the building had passed | into Mr. Hilton’s possession. The witness was asked whether there was any credit in the books for any cash that Mr. Stewart died possessed of. , £00 7th nw: Somer. | His answer was an emphatic “No.” The rest of the day was spent in going over the entries in the book known as ‘Journal L,” the Oy 35 be- ing to show the amount of money that Mr. Hil- ton got out*of the business of A. T. Stewart & Co, On June 30, 1876, he received 80 per cent of a divided profit of $606,313.79. That was less than nine months after Mr. Stewart's death. ‘There was also an additional entry of $46,596.30, representing his teed commissions on open accounts, bills receivable, marine _ ance, &c., from April 10, 1876; also 9,180.16 marked to errors. —$——_~60 A Deadly Fire-Escape.

A writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch says: “On the steamer coming from England the other day at the close of the usual concert given in the saloon a young lady of American birth es- sayed to sing ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ She had a pretty voice and her intentions were doubtless , soar but unfortunately she did not know the words of the anthem of America, In the chorus she became completely tangled up, and one verse was properly deemed sufti- cient, But it was still more painful to notice that out of over 500 Americans present not a single individual had the words of the chorus of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ by heart. Lots of them knew a word or two here and there, but not one knew all the chorus. Then ‘God Save the Saree was started, and the corporal’s guard of Englishmen and women in the saloon sprang to their feet and sang their national an- woman’ home. She onl; said she ‘really did not see how it was a matter that concerned her!’ After that speech I could hear nothing more with patience, and I had al- ready left the house when Marie went up to her husband’s room and knocked for admittance.

I brought her home, fainting and hysteri- cal, and from that time until last week I was fectly sure she would make her- self ill, It has been a frightful blow to her, as any one who knows how she had idolized her husband and how she loved him can under- stand.

From the San Francisco Post. D. W. Hitchcock and Frank M. Pixley were in San Jose Sunday, and the simple villagera of the Garden City were much elated over the visit of these important personages. Saturday night Frank Pixley had been making speeches and had gtherwise been making himself quite famous. Sundhy morning D. W. Hitchcock and Carl Clarke were strolling down Santa Clara street, when a storekeeper rushed out and grasping Hitchcock by the hand said: “Mr. Pixley, let me congratulate you. I read all about your speech, You are, indeed, a great man.” “You are mistaken, my friend,” said Hitch- cock gently, interrupting the loquacious clothes dealer. “No, no; Iam not,” said the San Jose man milliner, with a nod of assurance. “You are the greatest man to-day in California.” “I tell you,” said Hitchcock, “I am ——” “Oh, Mr. Pixley, you must not be so modest. Modesty won't do in San Jose, you know. All San Jose United —' 8 you are the greatest man in the “Confound you,” roared Hitchcock, “let go my hand.

From the Epoch. He was a new conductor on his first trip. As the car passed the corner a handsomely dressed young woman nodded her head gra- ciously, The new conductor tipped his hat with the utmost politemess, and turning toa passenger on the platform, said: “How's that for a mash, eh?” “She wanted you to stop the car,” replied the passenger. “B'gosh,” exclaimed the new conductor, “I never thought of that. It may turn out a smash instead of a mash.” ssiacanc A a A Man on the Track. From the Macon Telegraph, October 26, Last flight was dark and sloppy, and some mischievous person took advantage of it to take the clothing store dummy from in front of Har- vey & Suber’s auction house on Cotton avenue, and place it on the street car track opposite. Shortly afterward the driver on the car coming down the grade saw the dummy, and suppos- ing, of course, that it wasa man who wanted to stop the car but would get out of the way in time, he did not slack up until the of his mules were in smelling distance. n he put on the brake with all his might, and held back with such force as to nearly break his arm. He was both surprised and mad at this man’s per- sistency in remaining on the track, andshouted to him in a tone of voice loud enough tobe heard at the court-house to get out of the way. The man, and by the way, the dummy is a regular dude, remained. The driver threw down the lines and, jumping off the car with whip in hand, went up to the persistent man and asked what the dickens he meant by stand- ing there in the middle of the track. Receiv- ing no answer and observing that the fellow was dressed in the —— of fashion, he was puzzled whether oe torun over him. The driver's loud voice had attracted quite a crowd by this time, and this made the driver furious. He ran backward and forward, #ud then when he recollected that he was losing half an hour of time he mustered his cr @ and gave the manashove. The dummy fell over in the mud and it was then that he discovered how he had been sold. He jumped on his car and whipping up his mules ‘was soon out of ps leaving the crowd to pick up the dummy an ll him off the track or enjoy the joke. sa Beratatbon, 2 Hag Mistaken for a Tramp.

From the 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat. American women are accustomed to being called the best-dressed women in thé world, this is correct. They have more money and more leisure than the women of any country in the world, more freedom in the use of both, and, not being so much hampered by circum- | stances and traditions, they can draw from all sources and collect in the sum total of their dress something of all other women’s best. In other countries—though there is no longer in “society” the distinction and division created by purely national costume—there are differ- ences quite perceptible to trained eyes, which show both the inkuence of temperament and the controlling nature of circumstance. The German women, for example, have an exqui- site perception of color. They excel in color combination, They produce the loveliest em- broidery in colors upon linens and other fabrics for household uses; but they do not put it into in the ordinary dress of the masses, There are two reasons for this: One is their poverty, the other a public opinion which condemns the workingman if she shows any evidence of will- ingness to attract attention by the gaiety of her attire. If she is above the rank of the peasant, in her efforts to earn her dafly bread, her dress must be black, or absolutely neutral, to pre- serve herself from the remark, or at least from the inference, that she is frivolous. The workingwomen of France are bound in very much the same way, but they have ac- quired more pecuniary independence; they control almost all the “retail business of the | country, and if they had the taste for which | they receive the credit, would have worked | France is very much like America, it receives its ideas second hand, and only imposes cer- tain sumptuary laws through the wickedness | of its men, who procure whatever is made at- | England it is different. Englishwomen ar type by themselves, and with the energy of the Saxon and the tenacity of the Briton, originate ideas and create conditions which influence the rest of the world, when she is not wholly Irish or German, while the Austrian woman ‘is French and German, and in her independence and activity is a con. stant reminder of the American. But the She will wear lace like the Austrian, a pract cal walking dress like the Englishwoman, all the draperies and caprices of the French demi- | monde, blends colors like an Oriental, and loves fur like a Russian. Sooner or later, moreover, she gratifies her tastes. The girl who dreamed dreams in a cotton sun bonnet, wears $6,000 worth of lace in a London draw. ing room, where, as an American, she is the equivalent of a duchess. The woman who | spent half her life cooking upon a rickety stove in a log cabin is a serene old lady in her later years, who takes her niece to Europe and wears sealskin coats and India shawls worth a small fortune. ee ean ‘Women in War and Politics.
