Like many historic happenings, Parnell's rise & fall contain potentialities of majestic drama. This picture explains Willie's suit for divorce as a somewhat transparent device to blackmail Parnell into giving him a political job.

At its noon point, totality lasted 7 min. 4 sec., longer than any eclipse since the rise of modem astronomy, longer in fact than any since the year 699 A. D.

In a Sullivanesk manner the Editor takes the stand and reveals the cliches of his trade. Several letters, ranging from the violent to the academic, follow in their usual place. More reviews bring us to "The Bowling Alley," where the King of the Kinsprits gets what's been coming to him these many years. The person who ghosted this feature deserves to be congratulated on having imitated Morley's manner so well, even to the footloose anecdotes...
