Irishmen Pay Tribute to the Memory of Charles Stewart Parnell. Dublin, Oct. 11. —Irishmen from all 1 over the world on Sunday assembled . around the grave of Charles Stewart Parnell in Glasnevin cemetery and did ! honer and reverence to the memory of | the great Irish leader. It was the sec- ' ond anniversary of the death of the champion of home rule, and the crowds attending the ceremonies showed very clearly that Ireland has not forgotten the services of Parnell in the cause so dear to the hearts of her sons and daughters. The procession of mourners through the streets of Dublin far exceeded in number and in reverence that of last year upon the same occasion. The admirers of Parnell and the principles he represented took one and a half hours to pass the city hall. The procession was headed by a black-draped wagon upon which were i piled memorial wreaths sent from dis- I ferent parts of the country, as well as 1 several from the United States, Canada and Australia. The independent Irish party of New York sent a bandsome floral harp. It was 5 feet hijjh, 3% feet across and the top was made of green and gold immortelles, enlivened by red flowers of the same kind. The strings were of red immortelles, and across them in white flowers were the words: “ Charles Stewart Parnell. ” Across the base of New York’s tribute to the dead leader was the inscription: “In loving memorial; from the Irish of New York.” The officials and corporations of the cities of Dublin and Cork attended the ceremonies in state. The streets along the route to the cemetery were packed with men and women and the neighborhood of Glassnevin burial ground wm crowded to the utmost John Parnell, brother of the late Charles Stewart Parnell, and Mrs. Dickinson, his sister, appeared in the parade in a carriage, accompanied by John Redmond, M. P., the Parnellite leader. At the cemetery the wreaths were placed upon the grave of the beloved statesman. The procession then reformed and returned to the city, the streets being lined with thousands of persons, while every window along the route was filled with persons who displayed mourning emblems.
