Institute

sermon OF Broaddus Institute, BY
Rev. R. b. Smith, of Parkers
burg, was in every respect al
able and eloquent discourse.
Let this mind be in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus.
The excellentvocal and instru,
mental music furnished by the
M. E. church choir, contributed
in no small degreeto the success
and enjoyment of the occasion.
The Annual Concert of Broad.
dus Institute at the Grand Opera
House Monday night, under the
direction of Miss Howard. was
in every respect a brilliant affair.
The display of musical talent,
both vocal and instrumental, was
one of rare merit. and source
of delight to all. The, bevy Of
beautiful girl students, attired in
tasteful. costumes, was by no
means the least attractive feature
of the occasion.
The Baby Chorus, from the
Opera Wang. by twenty little
girls, was an extremely pretty
display.
Miss Columbia Bland Duncan
captured the hearts of all by her
ininitable singing. and graceful
pose.
The chorus by eight young
ladies, Misses Wallis, Duncan,
Heatherly. Orr, Wade, Steele,
Simmons and White, was admira.
bly, rendered, and they were en-.
Enthusiastically encored.
The last performance ON the
program, the Cymbal Drill, by
sixteen young ladies, was of the
highest artistic merit. The back
ground represented magnificent
woods scene, and out from among
the trees, apparently tripped the
fantastic forms of fairy nymphs
in pink and green. ard the panto
mine that followed was skillfuDy
and gracefully executed.
In the closing scene, the natu.
raj beauty of the young ladies
was greatly enhanced by the
crimson rays of the calcium light
which transformed the whole
scene to one of fairy land.

VI Vue young man to the one he
saw in his dream. The stranger
was kept through the night and
IN themorningasked to be driven
to Petersburg and on reaching
that place, precisely the same
thing occurred as Mr. Aiderton
had dreamed of. Mckinley was
elected to Congress. but Mr.. AL.
derton moved to Beaver Falls
soon afterward. He has not vet
needed to ask the favor the
young politician told him would
be granted.
Several weeks before the Re.
publican National Convention in
1855, Mr.. Alderton had another
dream in which his young friend
who had then arisen to be a lead.
er, figured. The name of Nc.
Kinley was notthought of in that
convention, but Mr.. Alderton
dreamed that his name would be
presented, and that several votes
would be cast for him. History
tells that such proved the case,
and Mr.. Alderton proudly went
among his friends and truthfully
remarked. Il told you So"
Since that time, Mr.. Alderton
had not used his dreaming pow.
erst to work out political prob.
lens, but employed them in mat.
tiers of every day life, such as
finding the bodies of drowned
boys, of burning buildings and
of dead relatives. But, a few
months back. his mind in his
sleep turned to politics. He
found himself in an immense
hall. Thousands of men throng-
ed about him, and there was a
babel of tongues which deafened
him. And out of all this confu-
sion, there seemed to be but one
world, which he was able to re-.
cognize, and that word was Nc
Kinley. Every one seemed to
be repeating it, and, from the
length to the breadth of that
great hall, it seemed to roll like
a tidal wave, Mckinley, McKin-
ley, Mckinley, Mckinley Fin
ally, order was restored, andsthe
meeting convened. Then from
among the assemblage one man
placed in nomination the name
of William Mckinley for Presi.
dent. Only one ballot was taken
for almost everyone of the dele
gates voted for the man whose
name had resounded through the
building a short time before.
With one wild huzza, the crowd
rushed toward the platform at
one end OF the room and seized
a man who was borne on the
shoulders of several others. A
United States flag was wrapped
about him, and, standing out on
the flag we're great gold letters,
forming these words, Patriot.
ism, Protection, Prosperity, to
American Industry" AS the
crowd passed before Mr.. Alder
ton he caught a glimpse of the
man who was being carried about
so triumphantly, aud recognized
him he had met twenty years ago,
with a card, For Congress,
William Mckinley"
Just then the sleeper awoke,
but that dream is shll fresh in
his mind. He had never been in
a convention, similar to that
which is to be held in St. Louis
June 10th, but he describes the
place so faithfully that one readi.
ly recognizes the immense hall
where the convention is to be
held.

has afterward proven true.
Some time ago he dreamed
hat boy had been drowned in
he Beaver river, and that the
odywas found at a certainplace.
The following day a boy was
drowned. The river was dragged
but the body could not be found.
tIr Alderton related his dream
sfthe night previous and of the
iuding of the body at a certain
point This part of the stream
vas dragged, and the hooks
brought up the dead body of the
boz.
On another occasion, Mr.. AL.

So realistic was this dream that
heavoke from a sound sleep,
arose and dressed himself, and
vent to the brewery. AS he un.
locked the door, acloud OF smoke
burst from it, and he saw that the
interior was all in flame. An
