Death Foretold in Three Dreams.

ATHENS. GA, Dec. 20.-Your cor
respondent learned to-day Of the fact
in regard to the death Of Mr.. John
Howard at his homein Bostwick, Nor
gan county, on Sunday night last.
The information is obtained from
relative of the family who was present
at the funeral Tuesday morning, and
and who gave the facts as he obtained
them from the wife Of Dir. Howard.
Mr.. Howard was man of apparent
! ly good health: about 35 years Of age,
and was in comfortable circumstances.
There was no happier home up to
few days ago. The loving wife and
the three little ones all idolized the
father, and he was devoted to them.
On Monday night Mr. Howard
dreamed that he died, and that very
suddenly, just preceding the holidays.
Not being a believer in dreams he dis
missed the subject from his mind.
On Tuesday night he dreamed the
same dream in every particular. Hav
ing two times in succession dreamed
of his death he was worried.
Mrs. Howard tried to get his mind
off the subject and partially succeed
ed. But on Wednesday night the
same thing occurred, and Mr. Howard
began at once to prepare for death.
He visited his relatives and told
them he was calling on them for the
last time Saturday he went to Madi-
son, and while there bought bicycle
for his little boy. Mrs. Howard asked
him why he had spent his money that
way when other things were needed.
He replied
II will be with my little boy but a
few hours longer, and before [ go
want to see him enjoying himself.
Sunday he paid a visit to his old
mother, and he told her it would be
the last time she would see him alive.
He bade her an affectionate goodbye
and returned to his home.
Sunday night all the family were
gathered together. He gave them all
farewell talk, kissed them tenderly,
and then kneeling he prayed one Of
the most beautiful and touching pray
ers, commencing his loved ones to the
God of the widow and the fatherless.
TO Mrs. Howard he said
II will not live until II o'clock to-
night. My time has come.'
Between IL and 12o clock Mr.. How
ard breathed his last. The corpse was
one of the most natural ever seen, and
was viewed by relatives and friends
until Tuesday morning, when loving
friends gathered to pay the last trib-
ute to one who numbered his friends
by his acquaintance. .-Atlonta Journal.

that Costa RIGA and Guatemala have
gone through the necessary fornality
of securing the approval of two successive
congresses of both republics, the finishing
touch has been given. The union is an
interesting one. but how long it will last
is of course problematical. Concerning
this particular phase of the subject the
Chicago Record says: Central America
has been hot bed OF. political dissension
for years. The republics which joined the
first union in 1871 kept together for about
eighteen years when each state set up
complete government of its own. The
new federation is stronger and seems to
be moro wisely planned in every way than
the first. Should it succeed and the re-
public continue to grow in the direction
of federal unity, the Central American
republic is likely to assume far larger
importance than it has ever known in the
worlds affairs, and to enjoy the increas-
ing benefit of stimulated enterprise and
free trade relations.

A good deal is said and written about
alleged pied ges the Republicans are said
to have made to reform the currency if
Mckinley was elected President. Moth
ing of the sort is to be found in the Re-
publican platform however. That simply
pledges the party to maintain the gold
standard until such time as an interna-
tional agreement can be had for a greater
use of silver. Were the present session of
Congress to adjourn without saying any
thing or doing anything about currency it
could not be fairly charged with breaking
any of the party pledges. So long as the
gold standard is maintained under existing
circumstances ands all our currency is
kept at par with gold all the pledges that
the Republicans have given on the sub
ject will have been fulfilled. People who
are anxious that the present session of
Congress shall embroil itself in useless
controversy over the currency are talking
about unfu1filled pledges, but as matter
OF. fact there are 10 pledges on this sub
ject that have not been redeemed by the
Republicans.

The alien tax law passed by the last
legislature of Pennsylvania has had the
effect of driving a great many alien resi-
dents to get naturalized and become
American citizens. AS the most of them
belong to an ignorant and lawless class
the real effect of the law has been to make
a large addition to the already much too
numerous class of undesirable citizens. The
last legislature of Pennsylvania did many
foolish things but the most foolish per-
haps was this law taxing alien laborers.
