DREAM CAME PARTLY TRUE.
Nervous WOman's Experience ON
Niagara Suspension Bridge.

1t was the turn Of the newspaper man
to tell story to the members of the CO.
incidence Club, but he sent word that his
managing editor had hustled him off to the
wilds of Indiana to write up murder that.
according to Hoosier correspondent, hal
startled our usually quiet community
So the president called for volunteers. No
one seemed willing to fill the breach on
such short notice, but finally middle
aged married woman spoke UP and said:
IL don't know that my experience could
be really called a coincidence, and yet it's
in that line. I'm afraid 1t will not impres1
you, but it scared me stiff. I have rela-
tives in New York state, and usually go to
see them once year, and sometimes twice.
The road take crosses over the suspen-
sion bridge at Niagara Falls. Now. I've
never been fond of that bridge. It's too
cobwebby to suit me. But I've never been
really nervous over 1t.
Just before started on my last trip I
woke up one night in the throes of night
mare. / had dreamed that I was crossing
the bridge and that 1t went down with me.
1t was as vivid as only a nightmare can
be, and l woke up In an agony of terror.
Now, I'm fairly sensible woman. and my
nerves are under pretty good control, but I
couldn't get that nightmare out of my
mind. I exerted all my will power. told
about 1t and laughed over it, and tried
in every way to convince myself that it
was nothing but a bad dream. But
couldn't shake the thing off; 1t hung over
me like an impending doom. My fears In
creased as the time for my departure drew
near, and finally was so scared that
would have stayed at home could have
found an excuse
"Well. I thought I would never get to
sleep that night on the sleeper. resigned
myself to lying awake all night, and as
soon as I had done that I dropped off. I
woke with the feeling that something had
gone wrong. The train had stopped and
the stiffness was fairly ghostly. thought
of the bridge, and In a panic I pulled up
the shade and looked out. 1t was bright
moonlight, and things were as light as
day. / looked down and nearly Jumped
out of my skin. The train was standing
stock still in the middle of the suspension
bridge.
Later on, when I had recovered. and
the train was on dry land. I asked the
conductor how often the train stopped on
the bridge. He looked at me and said
"'Scared. were you? Well. not once in
a thousand times; IN fact, I've been on
this road ten years, and never stopped

No Black Republic In Cuba.
OF late there has been reference to the
danger Of black republic in Cuba SINH
lar to that in Santo Domingo, but the
census will undoubtedly show that the
popular impression of Cuba as overswarm-
. ing with negroes Is erroneous. The pro-
portion OF blacks to whites Is far from
being as large in Cuba as 1t Is In many
states In our Union. In 1871 there were
So blacks out Of every 100 of population,
but the proportion has been steadily
creeping down, 50.75 In 1850. AZ in $780, 43
In 1863. 80 in 1877 and 3O.55 in 1887 1t is the
opinion of those who know that the pro-
portion will appear even less In the pres
ent census. although it must be admitted
that many of those Cubans ordinarily
calling themselves white have a strain
in them of negro blood.
The completed blanks are now In the
hands OF the assistant director, Mr.. Ohm
stead. at Santa Clara. He will give them
careful though hasty examination and
then they will be forwarded to Washing
ton. where the tabulations will be made
by machinery. and it is expected that def
mite results may be had before spring.
Counting will be fastened that the pres
ent congress may have the figures to aid
1t in its consideration of the Cuban prob
lem.

BRITISH FOREIGN TRADE

From New York Tribune.
What a considered most satisfactory
return has been issued by the British
Board Of Trade, covering the foreign
commerce OF Great Britain during he
month OF October. Everything is good
or bad by comparison, and our English
cousins may be gratitied by report that
shows a gain OF 9.S per cent. in value Of
imports az compared with last year,
while exports increased very slightly;
but from an American point Of view this
is not a good showing by any means.
Total imports were valued at e48, 495, ,60S
while exports, including foreign and
colonial merchandise reshipped, aggre.
gated e29, 729, ,359.
In othes words, the balance OF trade
for the month was ELS, ,766, ,249, against
Great Britain; approximately, s93, 3,0o0,-
900. This is almost exactly the amount
Of the American trade balance for the
same month, but this country's ledger
showed credit balance, while free trade
Eng land has that sum to pa! other ma.
tions.

After years Of conducting the county

Democratic office holders have enjoyed
the emoiuments Of the Office, the Every
Evening now comes out and advocates
the salary system. The office Of CLERK
of the Peace has been one Of the best
paying county offices and has been held
continuously by Democratic officials for
over 90 years. Now the Every Evening
calls on the next Legislature, which by
the way, is a Republican body, that It

who now receive their cmolumcnts in the

should have attended to this, but failed
to do It.

which it did everything 70 defeat. We

OUR BILL AGAINST THE SULTAN

From Philadelphia Inquirer
The fact that the battleship Kentucky
has been ordered to proceed tc the Turk
ish port Of Smyrna which had not been
originally included in its itinerary, may
or NAV not mean that an effort is TO be
made to collect the amount due by Tur-
key to the United States by the appllca-
tion Of coercive measures. but there is
sufficient reason for believing that only
by the application ot coercipe measures
I..n tie sum in question be obtained.
For several months now the effort has
been made to collect it through the pro-
cess Of persistent dunning. Month after
month, aud week after week Mr.. Gris-
com, our Charge d'Affaires at CONSTANT.
nople, has called upon the Sultan and
has requested the payment Of our little
bill, and each time promises have been
made whose worthlessness has soon been
made apparent.
Evidently the sultan doesn't mind be
ing dunned He has grown go used to
the process that it has ceased 70 affect
him disagreeably. Under these circum
stances the administration cannot be
blamed If it has decided to resort to more
practically Influential measures, and 1t
is quite possible that the Kentucky has
