THELADY WITH THE PURPLE EYES.
Dreaming Of n Japanese Actress and Then
Meeting Her in New York.

Dreaming Of Japanese Actress and Then
Meeting Her in New York.
Here is a case wherein the narrator hap
pens upon the living counterpart of strange
dream creation. His letter, dated from New
York, December s, 1887, was in substance,
as follows: His dream carried him to Japan.
He appeared to be in a theater or in some
hall where play was being given. Near
by he noticed three young women, one of
whom attracted his attention particularly.
His description is minute: "Her face was
of very light yellowish hue; her hair was
very yellow, strangest of all was her eyes
they were perfectly round, the white of the
eye showing very little; they were purple
in color, and they were without pupils-the
iris appeared to have grown all over the
eye. The young lady separated herself
from her companions and followed. We
came to a bridge over a small gully; as she
reached the center of the bridge she stopped
and leaned over the hand-rail, which in
stantly broke, and she fell into the gully.
I awoke a few minutes before s o'clock,
with the face and peculiar eyes still
before me. 1 lived in Thirty-frst
street then, near Eighth avenue. After
breakfast 1 got into an Eighth avenue
car to go down town. At Twenty-second
street the car stopped to let a gentleman get
of; he was lame, and moved slowly. The
driver became impatient. Unknown to the
driver or conductor young lady was wait
ing to get on the car, on the same side the
gentleman was leaving. As soon as the
gentleman was off the car, the conductor
pulled the bell strap, and the same instant
the young lady attempted to mount the
step. 1 stood upon the. platform and saw
her face distinctly. 1t was the young
woman 1 had seen in the dream of the
night before, absolutely the same in every
feature except the color of the skin. At the
instant she put her foot upon the step the
car started quickly and she was thrown
violently to the pavement Several people
went to her aid, and the car continued on
its way. 1 had never known her or any,
body resembling her. L had completely
forgotten the incident, when, as I was doz-
ing upon the sofa, fell asleep, and in q
moment 1 saw the young woman again;
this time in her own home, sitting in an
easy chair, and her husband standing by a
| CRATE fire holding a little girl on lis
shoulder. Her eyes were exactly like those
OF her mother, whom she greatly resembled.
have never seen this young woman ex-
cept that one instant when she was thrown
from the car. 1 have searched diligently
but cannot find trace of her. Perhaps j
shall hear further from you"
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-04-07

moments, saw in my dream my son and
daughter meet together just in front of a
beautiful bright cloud; then, in my dream,
1 called to my wife and said to her, %, Mar
garrett look, yonder come Johnny and
Martha, coming homel Come and see,
quickl' Then, in my dream, took hold of
her to show to her our dear children. Then,
in my dream, when turned and looked for
them they had disappeared out of my sight.
I then woke up, and the clock struck II.
The dream impressed me so 1 could not get
it off my mind, and at 10 o'clock next morn
ing we got telegram that our dear boy had
been thrown from buggy and killed. Now,
as to anything further, when related my
dream to my wife at the breakfast table the
morning after the dream, she said to me:
'Mr. james, don't know why it is, but
the college hell disturbs me so can hardly
eat, and has ever since yesterday, saying,
ft sounds like it was tolling for the death
of somebody IR about two hours after
that we got that dreadful telegram telling
us of the death of our dear son, who died
and passed out of my sight Just as awoke
out of my dream. Whether there was any
thing in the dream tending to warn us Of
the death of our dear son or not, I shall
never forget the strange dream or vision 1
had in regard to his death and our daugh-
ter meeting him One thing 1 do know,
God is able to give us visions and tells us
what He does. Now we know not, but shall
know hereafter; so we will take God at His
word, trusting in Him, and waiting for His
revelation hereafter.
Very often tendency for strange dreams,
or presentiments. seems to run through a
whole family. In the instance just cited
among letters received corroborating what
had been stated was one from a married
daughter of the writer of the above. This
lady, who, by the way, persists that she is
not at all superstitious, declares that some
days before her mothers death she distinctly
saw hearse roll up to the door. The
hearse was drawn by white horses. This
vision made deep impression upon her; so
much so that upon relating it the next
morning she remarked that she knew some
one in the family would die very soon.
Again she had seen this strange vision
shortly before the death of her husband
some years previous.

A MOTHERS VISION.
Hearing From Her Dead Son the Story of
His Murder.


His Murder.
Differing from the cases just cited is this
one, an extraordinary instance of thought
transference. The particulars were con-
tributed by a thoroughly responsible person,
and seem to be amply supported. During
the fifties, certain Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart
were residing at Rushford, N. Y. Their
only son, having just finished his school
days at the time of this story, had left home
for Kansas. This State was in the midst of
the slavery troubles, and the boy found him
self deep in the turbulent excitement of the
time. The mother, far East, felt no little
anxiety for her son, and as the Kansas
troubles increased her worrying began to
prey seriously upon her.
One night not far from midnight, she
woke her husband with scream. He
always addressed her as mother. "Mother,
what is the matter?" said he "Why! don't
you see Johnny there? He SAYS to me:
Mother, they've shot me- The bullet
entered right here, and he pointed to a hole
right over his right eyel" Mr.. Stewart (the
mans name) replied: "I don't see any
thing, mother. You've been dreaming"
''No, L have not been dreaming.
was as wide awake as / am now."

all the rest of the night "The next
morning he called me IL" writes friend,
land they both told me of her experiences,
she still maintaining that she was wide
awake. They always slept with lamp
partially turned down in their room. She
maintained that she both saw her son
(Johuny) and heard his voice. She be-
came more calm, however, after few days,
and quite likely nursed a hope that she had
been the subject of hallucination. Two
weeks afterward, however, the young man
that went with young Stewart to Kansas re-
turned. The first thing he did was to visit
Mr.. Stewart at his law Office, and to narrate
to him there that on certain day, at 4
o'clock P. M, a Missourian shot johnny,
the ball entering his head just above the
right eye. Moreover, the day OF the shoot
ing proved to be the very day on which
Mrs. Stewart had her vision, at night,
about six hours after the shooting. 1 was
their nearest, most familiar and most
trusted neighbor. never knew that before
this she entertained any OF the superstitions
of the low. 1 think not. From that expe-
rience, however, she became a stanch be-
liever in spiritualism. 1 had, myself, in
1856, lost little daughter, years Of age,
and after her sons death she told me that
Johnny came to her window one night
tapped on it, and she asked, Who's there?'
The reply was, Johnny. I have found
Florett.' That was my daughters name.

A GHILD'S DREAM,
Her Dead Brother Helps Her In Her In.
fantile Distress.

Her Dead Brother Helps Her In Her In.
fantile Distress.
In all the cases so far cited the dreams
have foretold a calamity. 1t is pleasing to
turn to child's story, story that is as
beautiful IS it is simple. The dream has
been thoroughly Investigated, and the truth
of the case is beyond doubt. The writer is
a Southerner, residing in Texas. he says:
about five years ago lived with my four
children, one boy and three girls, on farm
in Massachusetts. This only son, at the age
of IA years, lost his lite in an accident
about six months previous to this narration.
The youngest of my girls waA the pet sister
Of his since her birth. Ny wife had died
some six years previous to this story; being
motherless made these children unusu-
ally affectionate toward each other.
One day 1 had occasion to buy for
my girls each very small lady's knite,
about 21S inches long. A few days after
ward the girls received company from our
neighbors' girls, some five or six of them.
Ny youngest one, some or years old, was
so delighted with this, her first knife, that
she carried it with her at all times. During
the afternoon the children strolled to the
large barn, filled with hay, and at once set
to climbing the NOV to play, and Jumping
on the hay. During the excitement of the
play my little girl lost her knife. This ter
rible loss nearly broke her heart, and all
hands set to work to find the lost treasure,
but without success. This finally bfoke up
the party in gloominess. In spite of my
greatest efforts to pacify the child with all
sorts of promises, she went to bed weeping.
During the night the child dreamed that
her dead dear, beloved brother came to her,
taking her by the hand, saying: Come,
my darling, will show you where your
little knife is, and, leading her to the barn,
climbing the NOW, showed her the knife,
marking the place. The dream was so life
like that she awoke, joyfulIy telling her
sister that her brother had been here, and
showing her where she would find her knife
Both girls hastily dressed, and, running to
the barn, the little girl, assisted by her sis
ter, got on top of the hay, and walked direct
to the spot indicated by her brother, and
found the knife on top of the hay. The whole
party said they had all looked there many
times the day before, and insisted that the
knife was not there then" The little girl,
when questioned, declared that, on awaken
ing after her dream, she felt really sure
that she could walk right to her knife.
After reaching the loft she ran ahead of her
sister, and without the slightest hesitation,
reached down for the knife, saying: Here
brother picked the knife up out off the hay.
Oh, here it is. -"

talked loudly in his sleep. 1 heard him
say; is she killed? Stop himp and when
ran to his bedside 1 found him trembling
violently, bathed in a cold sweat, and yet
seemingly awake. tried to soothe him,
but he clung to nv arm, repeating his cries.
I said: What is it, father? No one is
killed. You are here with me- oh, no!
Rebecca, my wife, is hurt. Do you not see
the horse running? The buggy is all bro

and see if she is killed I tried in vain to
quiet him; he moaned and cried, repeating:
The horse is running, and my wife is hurt

awaken him sufficiently to know he was at
home and mother upstairs safe. Then ne

the morning asked him if he remembered
his dream. He said he did, and that 1t
seemed as though he was awake all the time:
Then he said again: 4 thought mother
was in South Middleboro 1.-THE adjoining
town1, and that the horse ran away ana she
was thrown; but could not see If she was
alive; she Law on her face, but the horse ran
awav down the road, and the buggy was
broken all to pieces.
0I told my stepmother that father dreamed
she had been hurt by the horse running, and
we both thought no more about it then. But
about 10 o'clock my stepmother prepared to
drive to South Middleboro, saying she would
be back by II. Father seemed rather nerv-
GUS after she had gone, and when II o'clock
came and mother had not arrived he seemed
very much troubled, and begged me to
watch at the window for her. An hour later
messenger appeared with the news that the
horse had become frightened and had run,
throwing Mrs. W. from the carriage, and

and was unable to be brought home then.
Inquiry showed that all had happened as
nv father dreamed. The next day, when
she was brought home most severely cut and
bruised, she told us that during all her drive
she had thought of fathers dream, and felt a
sense of danger. This was my fathers last
illness, for he never recovered even enough
to leave his room between January and the
following July"

Mr.. Afieck said the freight business is a

handled is still ahead of las. year. The
Eastern shipments are light, and Mr..
Affleck said this was caused by the bad
