He Tells of the Kilmainbam Treaty and Declares the ‘‘Times’” Letters Gen- uine. Continuing his testimony before the Parnell commission in London yesterday, Capt, O’Shes 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 he and his colleagecs would be shle to suy outrages. After the letter been Capt. O'Shea, Mr. Parnell said he would tell Dilion and O'Kelly, letting them know as much as was for them. day after the Pho- nix Park murders Mr. Parnell showed witness the anti-murder manifesto which it had been decided to issue. It was @ mistake, said the witness, to say that Mr. Parnell was notin favor of the manifesto. He only disliked the amount of bombast in the document, but he said that that was in order to satisfy Davitt’s vanity. (Laughter, in which Mr. Parnell and Mr. Davitt joined.) About this time, went on the witness, Mr. Parnell told him that he had been obliged to ask for police protection, as his life was in ——. Witness, in a subse- juent interview with ell, warned him that Sheridan wasa murderer and a concocter of murders, Mr. Parnell replied that he did not communicate with Sheridan personally. Seven letters were here shown to witness, who declared with certainty that the signature attached to them was that of Mr. Parnel Sir Charles Russell here asked the court to permit him to pos e the cross-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 to and A O'Shea, in reply to his questions, said that Mr. Buckle, editor of the Times, had asked Mr. Chamberlain to get him to give evidence. Mr. Houston, the secretary of the Irish Lo: Union, saw him take down in short-hand his statement for the Times. Mr. Houston told him it was a state secret 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 Byrne Commie 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 Russell—“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.” te Bussell—“Why did you turn him o The Witness—‘T told him to get out, as I did not want to see him “Pe Sir Charles Russell—‘‘Have you ever said you would be revenged on Mr. Parnell?” The Witness—‘I never remember say 80.” 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 witnegs 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 that I should 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 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. Parnell should say, “You may show him this, but do not tell him my ad 5 ‘Witness said he never had any doubt about the ature. He had had numerous letters from Mr. Parnell of about the same date es 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- pected 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 out s. 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 = py cord of | the evidence more keenly the best in- formed outsider, | Judge Hilton Looked Out for Himself. HIS SHARE OF TRE 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 youre Bret testified also that Mr. Hil- ton e irs. Stewart $5,095 for gas- fixtures and coal used in the Stewart buildin 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 of. His answer was an emphatic “No.” The restof | the day was spent in going over the entries in the book known as “Journal L,” the ob be- ing to show the amount of money that Mr. Hil- ton got out*of the business of A.

You would have thought that she might have said it was for the best, but instead she only lies and grieves over it all, sayingnow and then in a way that would break your heart: ‘There is so little left me, mamma—so little that is all my own.’” Asked whether she thought @ reconciliation probable, Mrs. Nevins said: “I doubt it very much. Jamie’s position-and his lowance have both been taken away from him, and while at first my daughter did feel that it was only a dreadful misunderstanding that was bound to is straightened out, since she went to Augusta, since she wrote to him, again and again, since she went even to his room and knocked, and especially since she has realized that he knows thatshe hasbeen at death's door, and what brought her there, and has given not 80 much as one word to her, she feels that the parting must be final, One never knows.what youn, Sore will forgive, but I really doubtif she could forgive all this.” aa ee ee Mistaken Identity. From the San Francisco Post, D. W. Hitchcock and Frank M. Pixley were in San Jose Sunday, and the simple villagers 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, Sundky 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 aler. “No, no; I am not,” said the San Jose man milliner, with a nod of assurance, ‘You are the greatest man to-day in California.” “ftell ou,” 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 says you are the greatest man in the United —” “Confound you,” roared Hitchcock, “let go my hand. I tell you I am not that fiend of a newspaper man. ‘Iam a railroad man,” “Who are you, anyway?” said the store- keeper, angrily, as hé dropped Hitchcock's hand and began staring him in the face. he am D. W. Hitchcock, of the Union Pa- cific.” “Good heavens, is that so?” “Yes.” “Well, “Why? “Because I just went up to a man and spoke to him, taking him to be you.” “And what did he say?” “Well, he said he ‘was no long-haired rail- road pirate.’” And Carl Clarke laughed so loudly that the sounds of the San Jose church bells were drowned for a moment. Tam blessed!” New to the Business. From the Epoch. He was # 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.” see 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 noses of his mules were in smelling distance. Then 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 ina tone of voice loud enough to be 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 height of fashion, he was puzzled whether =P 1 him off the track or torun over him.

THE BEST DRESSED, THE BEST LOOKING, AND THE MOST STYLISH, From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, American women are accustomed to being called the best-dressed women in thé world, and inacertain way and to a certain extent 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—thongh there is no longer in “society” the distinction and division created by purely national costume—there are differ- ences quite erceptible to trained eyes, which show both the influence 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 their dress—that is, there is nothing of it seen j 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, and must be seen upon the street or in public 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 out beautiful ideas. But at this moment 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 tractive to their eyes and imagination. England it is different. Englishwomen are 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, ‘The American woman is French and English | 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 | American woman has a little of all in her dress, | cal walking dress like the Englishwoman, all | 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 ina 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, 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. ‘Women in War and Politics. From the New York Graphic. History is full of the dangers that attend the interference of royal wives in their husband's politics. Reigning queens have been success- | ful enough. Elizabeth of England, Maria, Theresa, Catherine of Russia and our present | queen have shown that they can select wise | counsellors and guide the destinies of realms; but the queen consorts of history, when they have interfered with the politics of their hus- | bands’ cabinets, have done a great deal of Henrietta Maria exercised an unfortu- nate influence at the court of Charles L Marie Antoinette made her husband additionally unpopular, The last king of Naples was mrrried to a high-spirited Bavarian prin- cess, who encouraged his resistance to constitutional demands. In 1879 the Em- ress Leg ed declared to her intimate riends, “Remember, this is my war;” and it is likely enough that the emperor, ill, weak and hardly able to mount a horse, would have deferred the struggle had not his im-| petuous and spirited consort urged him on. It is sometimes said that the influence of women | on the politics of the world would put an end | to war; but while they remain non-combatants | | of war—the empty chairs, the desolated homes, the widow ives, but they never see its coarser consequences. They ight is the dying, the anguish of untented men, the fearful spectacle of human life trampled iy the mire, and all the grim and pstwtey | incidents of the shambles of war, from the bloodshed of the day of victory to the spectacle later on of unburied bodies molder- in the sun.
