A bold robbery n a remarkable case of
premonition connected Herewith occurred
yesterday. Joseph N. Malone, q travelling
man, representing one Of the largest whole
sale grocery houses of New Orleans, was the
victim, being robbed of a fine gold watch and
chain, $3.50 in cash, three checks aggregating
q considerable sum and valuable papers. Ma
hone was overtaken when within three miles
of Evergreen late yesterday evening by a
dark-skinned man with q small grip in his
hand, who claimed to be returning from
Andalusia, and said he had to walk back I o
Evergreen to take the cars home to Mobile.
as his horse was taken sick and died at Giants
Mill on the route. Malone let him ride into
town, and they put up at the same hotel, the
stranger registering as James Pomercy,
Mo Mobile oil :o Upon retiring ronT v the stranger called
in the morning he found an empty bottle
labelled chloroform by his pillow.
Malone relates the following story con-
nected with the robbery: He says he is a
childhood has been affected at intervals by a
strange, semi-conscious, trance-like affec-
ton, during which he has visions of different
occurrences, which in their vivid and realis-
TIC appearances hlUObI persuade him OF the
truth of the scenes. He was so affected on
Wednesday. While in a trance he saw plainly
outlined before him a room with a man
lying upon the bed, whom he recognized as
himself, It was q darkened room, and it
appeared to be night. BY the faint glimmer
Of light through the window he saw a mufled
figure stealthily enter his room and abstract
a watch, money and other valuables from the
clothes hanging on q chair. The thief left
the room. He saw him go of, seemingly,
down q railroad. Then It seemed as though
. cloud passed over the scene for a moment
and in rapid panoramic succession he
saw the party arrested, stab the
officer, overcome by superior numbers,
confined in prison. tried for murder, con-
yicted, sentenced TO death. and hung. This
dream or vision made no particular i'm.
preston at the time upon the mind of Mr..
Malone, but was deemed merely q vagary of
the brain; but since the robbery he recalls the
fact that the man who robbed him CORE
spends exactly with the one he saw in the
dream. The room in the hotel and the other
facts ere exactly as they appeared. A part OF
the vision has come true, and it remains q
matter Of profound psychological interest 10

Musical Artists Phenomenal Over in Pros
pect Heights

A pair of new musical wonders have made
their appearance in the quiet and very swell
neighborhood of Prospect Heights, Brook
lyn.
They are two men who, together, perform
on seven different musical instruments, watch
a monkey and collect contributions besides.
One of the wonders grinds a piano organ,
plays a set Of chimes and watches the money;
while with his feet he runs the bass drum
and tinkles the cymbals.
His partner plays the flute and violin alter
nately, while with his good right foot he beats
a smaller drum. He also collects the money,
the firm not allowing the monkey to climb,
fearing he might fall.
The wonders have appeared at the same
time every day for the past two weeks, and
when they leave there is a great dearth of
pennies among the school children.

THE TALL SILK HAT.


How the Fashionable Chimney Pot Hat
is Made and Where II Originated.
A Broadway dealer diacJursng on the sub
Ject of hats to a reporter said: "How few
men know how hats are made, and silk hats
in particular. Retrospective old men come
in here sometimes and tell me about the diff.
ferent shapes they have worn for the last
tlfty years, and i'll spite of the vast improve
ments in the shape and weight of hats made
nowadays, all those old fossils declare for the
hat of fifty years ago that weighed about a
pound silk hat is composed of two or
three thicknesses of muslin soaked in gum
sEelac dissolved in alcohol After the proper
stiffness Is acquired it is stretched on frames
to dry. The sides are cut in bias strips of the
proper width and the ends are neatly fused
together with hot iron. The top, which is
of heavier material, is fastened by narrow
strip of muslin coated with shellac This is
ironed over the edges and keeps the whole
firmly i'll place. The brim is now put on.
This Is of muslin five times thicker than the
sides ana is lifted to the crown by strips SINH
lar to those that keep the top in place These
are called "bodieS," and after the block upon
which they are made is removed they are
dried.
1.-The drying room is about twelve feet
square; the sides are lined with steam pipes
ami III the center are a number of shelves.
1t Is very necessary to have the hats dried at
an even temperature all over to avoid "weak
spots" From the drying room the bodies are
sent to be covered with the plush This is an
operation requiring the greatest care. First.
the underbrlm is covered with cashmere, then
the plush is placed on the overbrim and roued
down, The top and sides are neatly Joined
with hot iron, and no one not in tie busi
ness would know seam was there. The hat
Is adjusted on a circular machine that cuts
the brlm any width with metrical precision
After the polisher has removed all dust and
particles it Is sent to be trimmed,
LAS the hat nears perfection the greatest
skill Is required in its handling The edcer
sets the bllm and then the curler begins his
work Upon his delft fingers depend the style
and flush of the hat. This work is done en-.
tirely 10y hand and is the most important and
best paid branch of the trade.n
