Signs From Drea ms.

"When lnen and women find them
selves dreaming Of their work, it's a
pretty safe sign that they are run
down. explained well known physi-
clan to q reporter, land they should
begin to buiii up; otherwise serious
consequences are likely to follow. The
ordinary worker cannot stand it long if
he OF she has to work during her sleep
ing as well as her waking hours, for
it is a clear case OF burning the candle
at both ends.
1.-THE treatment l usually advise is Il
change of work and of food and IL gen
eral building up by the use Of tonics,
being particular to avoid the use of
sitmulants or exCitants in any form.
A few days recreation is also absolute
ly necessary, and change Of air is
very beneficial in restoring things to IA
normal condition. People, as a rule,
seldom dream of their work unless they
are out of shape physically, and the
moment they find that they are going
through the forms of their work in
their dreams it is the plainest kind of a
sign that they are more tired out than
they should be to have perfect health.

WELL PLANNED BURGLARY,


Wilmington, Del, May 1O.-Six bold
burglars, masked and armed overpow-
cred Emil Meyer, the Waterman, and
Frederick Testing, the engineer, at the
BaVarian brewery, at Fifth and Dupont
streets, and then blew open the safe in
the office, securing over 81 400. OF this
amount more than $500 was in cash.
Testing was at work in the engine room,
when he heard step behind him. Turn
ing around, he looked into the barrel of
revolver. Testing was too frightened
to speak, and he was pushed into a
small storeroom, where second bur-
glar was waiting. The two tied the
Waterman hand and foot and he was
warned to keep quiet. He could hear
other men drilling on the safe in the
office.
About that time the whistle which Is
connected with the safety valve began
to blow. Testing knew it meant the
water in the boiler was low. Covered by
four revolvers, Testing was allowed to
fill the boilers. This done, he was pushed
back into the closet. Then there was
an explosion. The guards, hitting Fest
ing a blow In the mouth, ran out of the
building. Emil Meyer came into the
room with rope hanging from his feet
and arms. Meyer hastily cut his fellow
workman loose.
Meyer said that as he neared the gate
Of the brewery yard four men sprang
out at him and, drawing revolvers,
pushed them into his face. He was
thrown to the ground, tied securely and
was carried to the second floor of the
office. Two men stood guard over him
with drawn revolvers for over an hour.
After the explosion occurred Meyers
guards ran off, and he succeeded in get
ting loose. Neither man could give an
accurate description of the burglars.
They said they wore white handker-
chiefs over their faces.
The safe was found wrecked and
blown open. All the office desks had
been forced and rfed. About $500
worth of revenue stamps in the safe
were overlooked by the thieves.

a year for them to complete all their

Senator Morgan has never given his
approval to the sending Of the add ton
al commissions TO the Isthmus, being
satisfied with the Information already
available as 10 the practicablilty Of the
canal. He will endeavor 10 have his
