A Presentiment.

Recently young lady at the Palmer
house, Chicago, fearing that there was
something wrong with her father, who
was in another room,got up in the night
only to hear him fall dead. The facts,
as stated by daily paper, are as fol-
lows:
ssPapa! Papa! let me in!" was the cry
which awakened a number of the guests
and startled the night Waterman upon
one of the floors at the Palmer house at
o'clock this morning. They were ut
tered by Miss Perkins, twenty-year-
old daughter of II. O. Perkins, of 107
Arlington place, Cleveland, varnish
manufacturer of the firm OF Blakeslee
e. Co. There was no response to the
girls agonizing cry. The Waterman
soon had the door open, however, and
there upon the floor laid the girls father
dead.
The grief of the daughter was ex-
tremely pitifuI. Her father was large,
exceptionally handsome man OF forty
five years. He had been travelling in
the West for several months. and was
on his way home. His daughter had
also been away from home since the
holidays attending school. Her father
sent for her to meet him here SO that
they could go home together and give
the wife and mother pleasant sur
prise. They arrived on Saturday morn
ing and were assigned adjoining rooms
at the Palmer house. They intended
leaving for home Saturday evening, but
Mr.. Perkins concluded to remain over
till this morning in order to show his
daughter little more of the city. Yes
terday they called upon several friends,
among them being Il. o. Bolger, with
fife real estate firm of B. f. Jacobs q
Co.. Mr.. Perkins complained of feeling
nnWell, and attributed it to the fact that
the had stopped smoking few nights
ago.
This morning his daughter awakened
with a consciousness that something
allied her father. She went to the door
communicating with the two rooms to
listen. Just as she reached it she heard
sound as of a falling body striking the
floor, and then all was still. This was
what caused her startling cry. The
worst fears OF the poor girl were real
lied. The body was removed to klaner.s
undertaking establishment. and TINS
afternoon will be taken by. the daughter
and some friends 10 Cleveland. Neigh
hors of Mr.. Perkins in Cleveland were
telegraphed to break the news to Mrs.
Perkins.
A Revelation From Dreamland.
London Daily News.
A strange story comes from North
amptonshire. A woman having disap-
peared, neighbor dreamed that her
body was at the bottom of certain
well. and there, in truth, it was found
when search was made. The extraor-
binary incident is not expllcable by any
knowledge we possess respecting men
| tai phenomena and occultlsm. heceht
scientific observations In Paris ana
elsewhere have established beyond the
possibility of doubt that hypnotlsm is
a reality, and that the mind OF one per-
son can so influence that of another
as to convice it of the actuality
| of suggested impressions. Wheth-
er notwithstanding be a mental

merely attributable to unconscious

very remarkable feats have been ac-

consideration? Nobody except a spirit.
ualist would entertain the possibility OF
anv rapport existing between any living

been strengthened by the exhibitions OF
