A STRANGE STORY.

70 IA. Editor of the Tribune.
SIR: 1t is easy to attribute illusions and
ao-caled spiritual visions" To waking dreams and
oouble consciousness when confined single iudivid
nal but how will you explain them when two persons,
hupdreds OF miles apart, conscious or each others
rpresepcsf NV mother, an unimaginat!ye woman who
had never discovered her nerves. when IN her eighteen
year was Frustrated with ar alarming attack OF pneu
.fnonia. On O Sunday morning she was uncJns-
,cious Of her surroundings, and apparently very
near DEATH and o telegram to that effect
was sent, without her knowledge. to her son.
who was living in Western New-york-her home beiug
I'm Massachusetts This son had been Ill, hu was con-
yaescng and the dispatch reached him was ON the
piazza taking sun-bath. clad in his bedroom ulster OF
peculiar make and elose-htting skullcap of sealakin
In his agitation over the distressing news he walked to
the front gate leaning 1t for support suddenly
and distinctly behed the figure OF his mother standing
before him. Greatly impressed by the occurrence he
determined visit her bedside, hastily made bis prep
arations journey, and by travelling express all
the way reached her house on Monday AFTERNOON when
he told the story of the apparition.
Meanwhile my mother I'd rallied somewhat, and her
mind WAS clear most of the time, but it thought best
not TO apprse her Of my brothers arrival After tme
when sue thought to be sleeping lie stepped TO her
door TO look at her She Immediately spoke to bin IN

ICertainly not for scientific investigation oil
the facts must necessarily prscede scientific ex-
PLANTATION For example, the force of the coincidence
might be impaired by evidence that the son had
described in letters the costume which he was wont
20 wear on Sunday mornings. and thus enable the
mother to picture him In her thoughts; or that, IN
spte of all precautions keep her in ignorance Of
the facts the mother had naturally inferred on the
morning IN question that her son would be sent for
or that 1t was one of the sons well marked habits to
station himself at the gate, One OF the inherent
probabilities of the case would be that the mother
in her last hours would think of her son. and III her
intense desire to see him would picture him In her
minds eve as vividly he had recalled her features
when the evil tidings reached him. If these aud
other explanations are waived tae case belongs to
group of psy chcal phenomena of which many authen-
tic instances have been rccorded.-Ed.l

TOWN AND CITY DEBTS.

The bonded Indebtedness of cities
and towns of The United States con-
tanning population of z 800 and up.
ward, is given in the census tables as
$685. 100000. The territories do not
figure in the list. About one-third
OF the total amount Of this indebted
ness is on New York towns, the total
ia that state being s208, $50, 1892. No
other state reaches 100000. 900,
Pennsylvania being the Eecond high
est on the list-S95, 445. 234. Colorado
ia the lowest, SIC. 900. sll of which is
for funding the floating debt. Ore.
egon is the only other stats with a
corporation bonded deb! OF less than
100000. The highest rate OF inter-
est drawn by any of the municipal
bonds is 10 per cent, tTenty-one of
the states paying that on portion OF
their debt. Missouri has a mil
lion and q quarter OF ten per
cent. bonds. New York's big debt
draws interest at various rates from Z
to 4 per cent, nearly 100000. 900
being at the former, over $50, 600. 900
at per cent, $35, 900, 600 at 5, and
50, $50, 900 at 4. The tables SLOW that
these debts have not been largely
created in late years, By tar the
heaviest portions having been issued
between 1869 and 1875, inclusive.
The debts mature at an average rate
OF about $26. 0OO.O 900 a year from now
until 1900, though 5000. 900. 600
natures after the last named year
The floating debt of Salt Lake City.
at the time the census was taken, is
given at $67, 900. or at the rate of
1928 per capita of population. The
indebtedness of Denver and Lead
vile is 1892 per capita. The net
debt per capita OF every other city in
the country having a population
