DREAMED or BURIED MONEY, AND
Strange to Say, He is More Than Twelve
Hundred Dollars Aht al.

LEBANON, IND, March 2l.-The citi-
zens OF the western part Of this county
are all agog over the strange stories told
by William NJ. Richardson. "A farmer
About two years ago Mr.. Richardson 5
mother died. During her last years she
was very eccentric. and before ner death
she told different persons that she had
buried large sums of money on different
parts Of her farm, but she always refused
TO diyulge the hiding places. After her
death a large part Of the door-yard and
garden was dug up. but no trace Of
the hidden wealth was found, and the
matter was dropped.
About three months ago Mr.. Richardson
had a dream. In which he was told TO
visit clairvoyant of indianapolis. and
he would learn something regarding the
hiding place Of the money. This dream,
Mr.. Richardson says. was repeated at fire.
oueut intervals and he finally decided TO
test the fortuneIeller's ability. Going
TO Indianapolis. he gained an audience
with a Gypsy palmist. who. he says, told
him he would find $1,000 buried at point
in his orchard.
With much skepticism. Mr.. Richardson
followed her directions, and recovered
a tin can containing sl,2i5.O. with this
money ho paid off the mortgage on MS
farm, and had about spent the entire
amount when his sister demanded nalf
of the funds, as one OF the heirs OF Their
mother. and a lawsuit was Tor snort

compromised.
Recently he had another dream which
again summoned him before the palms.

Along the boulevards and principal
streets to-nig t vari-colored lanterns were
swung in festoons upon the trees, produc-
ing most beautiful effect among the
foliage. The Place de la Concorde was
one blaze of light, and all the chief build
ings, from the church of Notre Dame on
the Isle de la Cite to the Place OF the
Trocadero, were outlined in fame. Late
in the evening a fotilla of illuminated
boats passed down the Seine, presenting
beautiful spectacle.
Thousands of persons paraded along
the river front between Notre Dame and
the Trocadero lost in admiration of the
magnificence of the illumination, which
it is believed was never before equaIed.
ton of "City of Light"
There were displays of fireworks at six
places in the city. The most. beautiful
displays were along the banks of the
Seine between the Eiffel tower and the
palace of the Trocadero, which is directly
opposite the tower.
The Pont de Jena, which connects the
grounds of the Trocadero with the Champ
de Mars on which the tower stands,
looked like dream of fairyland, it being
illuminated with thousands of small
electric lights.
After the banquet the imperial party
watched from the loggia of the Trocadero
the illumination of the Eiffel tower, which
pointed skyward like gigantic finger of
fire. and then turned into cascade of
tumbling fame. The sight was ex-
quisite.
When the Czar and Czarina returned to
the Russian embassy. after the close of
the days functions, they were wildly
acclaimed by tie crowds. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion among everybody here
that Paris and the visitors will admit that
Parisians have fairly outdone themselves
in showing honor to the Gear.

LONDON, ENG, Oct. 6.-Information
has been furnished to the United Associ-
ated Presses that no communication has
passed between Great Britain and the
United States on the subject of arbitration
in over a month. Important develop
ments in connection with Venezuela, how
ever, will probably occur in October.
A settlement of the dispute is by no
means imminent and it is not true, as has
been alleged, that Great Britain has been
making concessions to Venezuela. Much
depends upon Mr.. Cham mberlain, Secretary
of State for the Colonies, who sailed from
New York for England on September 80,
though his decisions are subject to the
approval OF Lord Salisbury. The latter,
the Foreign Office officials say, is hopeful
that the Venezuelan question will be
solved, but he is at present occupied by
the Eastern question.
