A DREAM DISCOVERY.
How Mrs. Rorer's Vision Helped
Scientific Man to His "Missing
Link"


From the New York World.
A very curious instance of what may be
called thought transference or telepathy,
was related recently, and is unquestion-
ably authentic, since the narrator was
herself the medium through whom very
strange bit of lore was communicated to
a scientific man whose most persistent
researches in that direction had failed TO
discover what he sought.
Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer debated the in
cident. She was at the time sharing
summer cottage in the woods with the
Cushings-Prof Cushing of the bureau OF
ethnology of the Smithsonian institution,
and his wife. They were domiciled in one
of THOSE camp lodges where the partitions
between the rooms are only about eight
feet high, and serve merely as screens,
since they do not obstruct ventilation,
conversation, nor Git seems) the circula-
ton of that subtle current which is COM
monty called magnetism"
Mr. Cushing was occupied in the prepa-
ration of a history of 1.-THE Evolution of
the Arrow" There was gap in the chain
of succession which he seemed unable to
fill. 1t came between the throwing
sticks" of the mound builders and the Tar
tar arrow, and his most diligent search
failed to find the missing link. This wor-
ried him greatly. lis perplexity had been
the subject of conversation one evening
before the family separated for the night
"Of course, we couldn't be of the least
ScINACt, bdlu MIS-. ftOTbTs only 10 SyInDd-
thize; but that we did most heartily"
She continued in these words: Il fell
asleep as soon as l was in bed, and then
had strange dream. Some one came to
me. l seemed to know he was a venerable
man, but cannot describe him except as
a presence, though saw with absolute dis
tinctness what he held out to me- 1t was
a bow and arrow different from any | had
ever seen. The bow was bent somewhat
after the manner of the Tartar bow but
the lacings were peculiar. They were
crossed to form six-Dointed star in the
center. What does that mean? l asked
And the presence answered: The four
points are the four directions of north,
south, east and west: the other two sym
bOlze the upper and the under worlds The
arrow passes over them all in it's flight and
crossing this star, is sped on its way with
the blessings of the gods. This is the arrow
you seek.
Then / stretched out my hand to take
it. The vision vanished and l awoke. AS
l opened my eyes l heard the stroke of a
room. / knew by that sign that Mr.. Cush-
ing was awake smoking, and worrying
about the missing link. l called out thai
/ had just dreamed of an arrow, and told
him what l had seen. When ] came to the
lacing of that bow and its meaning his eX-
element was great, for the whole thing
proved to be exactly what he was in quest
Of
"In some mysterious way the revelation
which his alert, anxious, active brain could
not receive had been brought TO my mind
into the history, and ever since, because
of that dream, l have regarded myself
with a certain pride as sort Of latter day

is noted for his daring. He endeared
himself to his soldiers in battle by keep
ing in the front rank whenever there was
danger, refusing to heed the cautious
warning of his friends that his life was
too valuable to his country to risk I'M
necessarily. He believes [ am told in
predestination, and that he will not die
until his mission on earth has-been ac-
complished.
An American variety company came to
Caracas recently, under the management
of Ceballos & Tatali. 1t included several
good acrobatic and gymnastic perform
ers, and two sharpshOoters, a man and
wife, advertised as Coleman and Mexis,
whose work soon became the talk of the
town. The manager, Ceballos, who had
a LONG experience with Barnum & Bar
ley's circus in the United States, thought
that ii would increase tho prestige of his
show il he could have a private exhibit
ton of shooting in the presence of the
president. The thing was arranged, and
on Sunday morning Mr.. Coleman decked
his long. lean body in g. dress suit with
string of medals in the lapel of his coat
Miss Mexis donned pretty dress, with a
skirt reaching to her knees, pair Of top
boots and a military cap. Mr.. Ceballos
wearing a diamond pin as large as an
acorn, escorted them to the yard back
of Santa IneZ, the presidential mansion
-where.the targets were put up and all de-
tails attended to before the president
and the persons who happened to be Wis
ting him were called out to see the
shooting.
The exhibition began with fancy shots
at glass balls. The woman, Miss Mexis

NINE. YANG YU's FRANKNEss.
The Chinese Minister'S Wife ana
Some of Her Remarks.
I'm the Chicago Record.

From the Chicago Record.
The Chinese minister has returned to
Washington from Madrid, where he went
to present his credentials as minister to
Spain. Nine. Yang Yu has had a gay
time while her husband has been away
She is the first Chinese woman who has
ever taken an active part in society, and
her people at home would be amazed IL
they knew that she went to dinner parties
and receptions and teas, just like any bar
barians. and receives and returns visits
regularly. She is out every pleasant day
with one of the secretaries of the lega-
ton. who acts as her interpreter, and
probably enjoys herself more than any
other woman in Washington.
1t appears, however, that she is not Mr..
Yang Yu's real WIFE, She is what the
foreigners in China politely refer to as
secondary wife, and Chinese mandarins
dren are legitimate, but they do not have
the recognized position of the first wife,
who is married with solemn ceremonies.
The minister has never ATTEMPTED to con-
home, but naively explained to the wife
or recent Secretary of State that he
brought the prettiest one with him as a
compliment to the American people.
Nine. Yang Yu Is very pretty from the
Chinese standpoint. and wears some ex-
quisite gowns, or whatever they call their
outside garment. And she is very candid
too. She does not hesitate to comment
with startling frankness upon the appear
ance and customs of the American barba-
rians she meets She was calling upon
the wife of a member OF the cabinet late
ly, when that lady said to the interpreter:
PLEASE tell Nine. Yang Yu that / think
she has very pretty gown"
The Interpreter communicated the mes
sage, and the Chinese beauty retorted in
stantly:
Il think your gown would be pretty IL
you did not squeeze yourself so at the
waist"

TOO strongly urged upon the planter not
to lose sight of this possibility, although
remote one, and to go slow in prepara-

whereas, with a moderate crop and no

the form of diary left at his death by
a veteran who had been a captain in the
northern army and with Grant at Vicks-

the narrative deals mainly with the inside

Dhvsical and moral difficulties fine
love story runs throughout, the hero hav-
ing plighted his troth before setting out
for the front.

From the Chicago Record.
1t is a peculiar, but not altogether sur
prising fact that when scions of the
nobility of Europe wed American
heiresses and return to the eastern
hemisphere they invariably drift either
during the course Of their honeymoon or
shortly afterward to Monte Carlo for the
and excitement of gambling without any
fear as TO the consequences, since If they
have bartered name and title for cold cash
they think 1T only right that they should
be at liberty TO squander Il as they please.
As soon as Prince Hatzfeldt married
Miss Huntington he made his way to
Monte Carlo and tempted fortune at rouge
ct noir and trente ct Quarante with stakes
of a magnitude to which he had never pre-
viously been accustomed. The same may
be said Of Prince Colonna, who married
the daughter of Mrs Bonanza Mackay:
of the Due de Dino. who married the d.
Vorced wife of Mr.. Stevens of New York
and of Count C2stellane, who married
Miss Could and now it appears that the
Duke of Marlborough on reaching Eu-
rope made straight for Monte Carlo, where
he was seen at the tables daily, on one
occasion playing side by side with one of
his cousins, the Marquis of Camden, with
whom, however, he never exchanged a
word. The two had never previously met.
and, although they were aware Of each
others identity, not having been intro
Guced they ignored each others presence.
The Due de Dino was playing at the same
time, and astonished every one by the
size and recklessness Of his stakes, which
since he is pennilesS, naturally come out
of the pocket of his American wife.
