Brudder Jasper Dreamed 1t All.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

The Rev. John Jasper Of the "sun do
move" theory fame caused a sensation
among the colored people here by a
dream he had week or SO ago in which
he foresaw the disaster from the storm
of yesterday. He related this dream to
immense congregation short time ago.
Jasper says that ne dreamed that seven
storms would pass over the earth; that
the lightning would fash, mutters of thun-
der would be heard accom- panied by storms
of wind, rain, and hail, producing de-
str1ction IN the land, and that on the last
day of May would be the final winding
up with thunder, lightning, and q great
fall of water, causing the water in the
rivers TO overflow their banks, and ships
and steamers would 60 down in the
mighty deep, carrying with them hun
dreds of souls.

He is Shot From Ambush for the Sake of a
Large Reward.
ST LOUIS, January 15.-Wesley Barnett,
half-breed Creek Indian, up to last Satur-
day was the most fearless desperate in the
Indian Territory. He was the leader of a
desperate band of horse thieves and general
outlaws, and for years had run riot over the
Creek nation, depredating upon property
and Staying in cold blood nearly everyone
who had opposed him, or who had attempted
to arrest him. A few months ago he delib-
erately murdered United States Marshal
Phillips near Eufaula, and later killed the
noted Nose Mcintosh, of the Creek police,
and wounded two or three others while they
were attempting to arrest him.
He openly deied all law, and during the
late session, of the House of Warriors of the
Creek nation stood before that body and
dared anyone to take him. A large reward
was offered for him dead or alive, and last
Saturday Wallace McNac, Creek Indian.
lay in ambush for him near Okmulgee, and
when the daring outlaw appeared emptied
both barrels of his shotgun, loaded with
buskshot, into his body, killing him in

Wheeler is practically beaten off by yards in the

The thing looked too good, and it is not sur

that there is (among the really clever) no

the papers said that when eggs were thrown at

A SCIENTIFIC LECTURE.
Alchemy and Modern Chemistry Discussed
by Prof Langley.

Alchemy and Modern Chemistry Discussed
by Prof. Langley.
Prof. John W. Langley, Of Ann Harbor
University, gave very interesting lecture
last night to the society of the Kings Sons
at st. Peters Church, entitled Alchemy
and Modern Chemistry"
After speaking of the ancient origin OF
the Pseudo-science of alchemy among the
Egyptians, the lecturer gave historical
sketch of its career until the middle ages,
when it prevailed all over Europe. The
chief object of the student of Alchemy was
to gain possession of three things, viz: The
philosophers stone for the purpose of max
ing gold out of the base metals; the elixir of
life, which lent its possessor perpetual youth;
and the little elixir, which had the cnarae-
teristic of changing lead into silver.
The professor stated that the alchemist
was thoroughly imbued with the fact that
with the possession of all or either of these
treasures, their object could be achieved. A
failure was invariably ascribed to the in-
fuence of witch or wizard. while speak
ing of these the lecturer quoted few lines
from book written by Pope Gregory VII
against the witches, where it said: '"This is
the reason why there are more witches than
wizards. For what is woman? But an
enemy of friendship, foe to truth, snare
unto many a domestic discord, natural
temptation, a desirable misfortune, a per-
petual fountain of tears, and mischief of
nature overlaid with glittering varnish."
From Alchemy, astrology sprang into ex-
istence, for the people believed that every
human being was Influenced by some star
in the sky. The greatest distinction be-
tween the alchemist of the past and the
chemist OF to-day" the professor stated,
scientists believed in the action of an occult
power from without to influence chemical
body, we now agree that this power is active
within the body ITSELF The dawn of modern
chemistry broke out with the birth of the
present century; before that all was dark
and mysterious.
A vote of thanks was rendered the lecturer
at the close of his entertaining discourse.

A New State Getting in shape to Sit With

A New State Getting in shape to Sit With
Her Sisters.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATCH.1
WASHINGTON, January 15.-At last a
bill for the admission of the Territory Of
South Dakota is before the House of Repre-
sentatives. For years this section of Uncle
Sans domain fS been knocking at the
door of Congress for admission, but she has
been steadily refused bv the Democrats un-
less she would agree to be included with the
North part of the State, which was not so
strongly tinctured with RepublIcanism at
the South. The late elections, which were
an eye-opener in so many ways, materially
altered the view of the Democrats in Con-
gress with regard to Dakota, which gave
such largely increased Republican majority
almost solely on account of her bad treat
ment by the Democratic party. That
brought the Democrats to time, and they are
now willing to admit Dakota in any way as
all, provided only she will hold no spite
against them for past grievances.
Formerly, to bring up the Dakota ques-
tion was provoke a storm of buzzes from the
Democrats. Now the name is spoken with
the most reverential intonation, and the
Democratic speakers vie with the Repub
lican speakers in most cases to say nice
things OF the new State that is to be, and
doubtless when the speech makers are sat
isfied South Dakota will at once be made
State, by large majority.

The Influx of Paupers to the United States
Demands Check.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
WASHINGTON, January 15.-The Ford
Immigration Committee will probably re-
port the results of their labors to the House
in a few days. Mr.. Ford said this morning
that the report and accompanying bill had
both been virtually completed and would
be presented to the committee for considera-
tion at once. As soon as reported he in
tends to ask unanimous consent to set day
for the consideration of the measure, and
believes that the request will be granted.
''There is urgent need" said he, ''for &C.
ton on the matter during the present ses-
sion. The influx of paupers in New York
and the border States, from Canada, and
elsewhere, is an intolerable burden. There
is law now, it is true, preventing the i'm
migration of paupers into the United
States, but there is no machinery to carry
it into effect. Men find their way into the
poor houses after having been in this coun-
try only month. Detroit is filled with
paupers from Canada, and has just built a
S120,000 Door house. New York, too, is ex-
cessively burdened by the support of paup-
ers from the old world"
