A.Dream About the Knoxville
Tragedy.

Nasnfile NOft1s ~.
One of the most remarkable in
stances of the veriication of a dream
was realized in the triple fatality,
which occurred in Knoxville yester.
day. On Wednesday Messrs. Hooper

we're sitting in front Of the Office Of
the Tennessee Brokerage Association,
when the subject of dreams was
preached. The first name of these
gentleman said that he had, on the
night previous, had a peculiar
dream to the effect that
General Mabry and his son had
been killed in a street difficulty at
Knoxville by Major Thomas 0'Conner,
who was himself killed. When the
terrible news came from Knoxville
yesterday Mr.. Harris narration Of
his dream REQUIRED with startling
force to the gentlemen who heard it.
and the story OF the dream, and its
veriication was common talk on the
streets yesterday.
The incident became egen more
remarkable when it was known that
Mr.. Harris was not aware Of any
unpleasant relations existing between
the parties.

a R-enrodnctire Cnmet

The present comet in the eastern
sky, which can DO distinctly seen by
every one at early morning, is GER
tainly the most remarkable one Of all
the modern comets. Prof. Lewis
Swift, director Of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, N. Y, states
that the comet grazed the sun So
closely as to cause great disturbance
so much so that it has divided into
no less than eight separate parts, all
of which can be distinctly seen by a
telescope. There is only one other
instance on record where a comet has
divided, that being Biella's comet Of
1916, which separated into two parts.
Applications have been made on Mr..
II. H.. Warner by parties who Lave
noted these cometary offshoots, claim
ing the 5000 prize for each one Of
them. Whether the great comet
will continue to produce a brood Of
smaller comets remains to be seen.

The Abbott Opera Troupe.

The Abbott Opera Troupe.
Emma Abbott and the English
opera troupe bearing her name, was
received here last night as expected,
with genuine enthusiasm, the audi
ence being large, fashionable and
thoroughly appreciative. The new
comic opera king for a Day" by
Adam, arranged and adopted by J. H.
RoSewald, the orchestral director, and
Mr.. Castle, Of the company, was the
programme for last night. AS re-
marked before, the scene is laid in
India, aud the characters rep
resented were beautifully costumed in
accordance with the fashion Of that
distant land, while the various scenes
were exceedingly picturesque and at
tractive. Miss Abbott was especially
notable for the beauty and elegance
Of her dressing, as we'll as a lavish dis
play Of jewels, She was wildly
magnetic in action, and sung
with the same exquisite sweetness
aud artistic finish that has won for her
SO much favor in past seasons, and
which renders her SO much above the
level Of her rivals, Mr.. Castle, Sig.
Fabriui, Miss Lizzie Annandale and
other participants, sung and acted
with intense ~fervor, while Mr.. John
Gilbert, the basso, made an exceed
ingly favorable impression. All of
the leading members Of the company
were recalled several times during the
opera, and Miss Abbott's wonderful
vocaliEation and flute like voice
showed its striking qualities 50 often
that she was called out again and again.
This afternoon we have Bellini's
beautiful opera ia Sounambula"
with Julia ROsewald as Amina, and
to night Miss Abbott will enact
Gilda in Verdi's tragic four act opera
Of "Rigoletti."

What Iowa Girls Are Taught.

At the Iowa Agricultural College
every girl in the junior class has learned
to make good bread, weighing and meas
uring their ingredients, mixing, knead
ing and baking and regulating hel
fire. Each has also been taught tC
make yeast and to bake biscuits, pud
dings, pies and cakes of various kinds
how to cook and roast, broil steak
and make cup of coffee how TO stuff
and roast a turkey, make oyster soup,
prepare materials for other soups,
stem and mash potatoes so that they will
melt in the mouth; and in short to pre-
pare a first class meal, combining
both substantial and fancy dishes, in
good style. Theory and manual skill
have gone hand in hand.
Vast stores of learning have been &C
-cumulated in the arts Ofcanning, preserv-
ing and picking fruits, and they have
taken practical lessons in the details of
household management, such as house
furnishing, care Of beds and bedding,
washing and ironing, Icare ofthe sick, etc.
The girls we are informed, are also thor
oughly grounded in science, math-
ematics aud English literature. IfIhere
is anything that challenges the unlimit-
ed respect aud devotion of the masculine
mind is the ability in woman to manage
well her own household'-Southern

Cleaning Black silk.

One of the things ''not generally
known" at least in this country, is the
Persian method of cleaning black silk
the modus operandi is very simple and
the result infinitely superior to thai
achieved in any other manner. The silk
must be thoroughly brushed and wiped
with a cloth. then laid fat on a board OIL
table. and well sponged with hot coffee,
thoroughly freed from sediment by be
ing strained through muslin. The silk
is sponged on the side intended to show
it is allowed to become partially dry,
and then ironed on the wrong side. The
coffee removes every particle Of grease,
and restores the brilliancy of silk with
out imparting to it either the shiny
appearance or crackIy and papery stiff
ness obtained by beer or, indeed, any
other liquid. The silk really appears
thickend by the process, and this good
effect is permanent. Our readers who
will experiment Oh an apron or cravat
will never again try any other method.
