A Woman's Voice Called Her

THEN HE RESCUED HER
Marvellous Tale of PSychical
Phenomena Is Told
By Bishop FaIlows, of a Chicago
Couple.

Chicago, Jan. s0.-Bishop Samuel
Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal
church recently told a marvellous story
of psychicaI phenomena, according to
the Inter Ocean. He declined to give
the names, using Smith instead, but
says the people are of a prominent
North side family.
As he told the story, some years ago
Mrs. Charles Smith, the wife of a young
man living on the North side, was ia
ken seriously i'll and died in a short
time. She was not embalmed and was
buried two or three days later in Rose
Hill cemetery. She was buried in the
afternoon and in the evening friend of
the family came in and decided to stay
in the house that night with the hus-
band and servants.
In the middle of the night Mr.. Smith
was awakened by some one calling his
name. He heard the name two or three
times; Charles, Charles very dis
tinctly. He did not associate the voice
with any one he knew. and said to him
self that it was a hallucination. Being
a man of materialistic views, he at
tached no superstitious meaning to the
matter, and soon fell into a troubled
sleep again. After a little While he
was awakened by the voice again, this
time more insistent: Charles, Charles,
Charles!"
Just as day was breaking, for the
third time he heard the call again, TINS
time entreatingly. This time he recog-
nized the voice very distinctly as that
of his wife. Moved by some inexplica-
BILE impulse. he sprang up, searched the
room carefully, found no one and rush
ed into where his friend was asleep.
Come, get up" he said. I'VE must go
to Rose Hill"
His friend tried to dissuade him, but
to no purpose. They harnessed a horse
to a light buggy. took spades and pick
axes and drove to the cemetery at
break neck speed. AS quickly as posi-
bic they dug down to the coffin, which
had been put there the afternoon before
and opened it. The young wife was just
turning over in the casket. Although
alive, she was unconscious. PreSuma-
bly, she had been in a stupor the en-
tire time. She was taken home, re-
covered and is alive today. She has no
idea that she was ever buried alive,
and probably if she had known all of
the circumstances at that time, the
shock would have killed. She was told
that she had been very i'll and had re-
covered almost miraculously. Beyond
that, she knows nothing of the story.
There seems to be but one explanation
and that is that Mrs. Smiths subcon-
scious mind Influenced the mind of her
husband GEOGRAPHICALLY and warned him
of her danger.

FRIENDS OF Beers.
Hold Big Meeting In Grand Central
Palace, New York.

New York, Jan. 3O-A mammoth
pro-Boer meeting was held last night
in the Grand Central palace. 1t was
called to express American sympathy
for the South African republics. An
other object was the raising of funds
to care for the i'll and wounded within
the Boer lines
Ex-Judge George NJ. Van Hosen was
the presiding officer. On the platform
were more than a hundred vice presi-
dents of the New York committee to
aid the republics. 1t was tl.is commit
tee which called this meeting.
The Grand Central palace was filled
to it's capacity. The Boer, Free State
and American colors were conspicuous
in the decorations. Letters of regret
were read from Governor Charles S.
Thomas OF Colorado, E. D. Warfield of
Lafayette College, Easton. Pa, Senator
George L. Wellington of Maryland and
others.
Senator Wellington was to have been
one of the speakers. He expressed sin
cere regret that the state of his health
would not allow him to attend the
meeting.
The first speaker of the evning was
Congressman David A De Almond, of
Missouri, who in mentioning some of
the reasons why we should sympathize
with the Beers, spoke of the causes
of sentiment. In this connection he
said:
There is no special tongue or partic-
ular language that can ally US to
tyranny. Liberty is the dream and as
piration. the noblest hope, of all who
ever dreamed or hoped for advance
ment"

BERNHAKDT RAGING AGAIN

Paris Cor. Philadelphia Recordl
The divine Sarah is angry. Some who
furious, and there was no telling how
violent she might become before to-
morrow.
A disappointment to the only Bern
hardt's vanity was the cause of her
rage. Flattered by all Paris since the
opening of her magnificent theater, the
triumph of the decorators art in the
splendid city, she had been certain that
a great reward was to be hers. She had
counted on it, and in anticipating it
had come to look upon it as a reality.
It was a decoration from the presi-
dents hands to which she had been
looking forward with such eagerness,
and when tonight the name of Sarah
Bernhard was not on the list of New
Year honors she was indignant. The
more she considered the matter the
madden she got, and all France is likely
to know of her rage before another day
has passed.

ON THEIR OWN HOOK.
That's the Way Volunteers For Boer
Army Must Go

New York, Jan. 30.-Charles Pierce,
the consul general in this city of the
Orange Free State, today received a
communication from DR.. Hendri Null
Ter, representative extraordinary of the
Orange Free State, consul general to
the Netherlands at The Hague. The
letter in part reads:
AS to volunteers, from whom I re-
ceive a large number of offers from
America by every mail, none of them
may be engaged either by DR.. Leyds.
envoy extraordinary of the Transvaal
republic at Brussels, or by any repre-
sentative of the two republics.
ANY person who wants to go to
South Africa must do so on his own ac-
count and at his own risk via DeIagoa
Bay.
TT therefore must be clearly under
stood by men wishing to volunteer that
I can not allow them any money The
only thing 1 can do is to recommend to
the Boer authorities people who have
presented themselves to me and are
possessed of excellent testimonials and
credentials.
After arrival here they will be adj
vised verbally how to get to the from
tier without much difficulty. I have
not the right to give them any assur-
ance regarding an engagement by our
government. The same difficulty pre-
walls as to surgeons and trained nurses.
To be admitted to the field of war by
both belligerent parties they must be
legitimate1y recognized by the Red
Cross society. OF course, military men
who will go for their account, who
know how to shoot with cannon or
gun, who do not claim or ask a COM
mander position, knowing that a Boer
never fights under foreign command,
will be welcomed if they can prove their
trustworthy character. Also electri-
clans or other technical people may be
useful but our government has posit-
lively refused to give an order about
them. Should such people be sent out
for love of our cause, in case they can
not pay their own passage money this
should be done by US or by our friends
in a private capacity. It is of course
very possible that the two republics,
after a happy finish of the war will
repay some of such money if the vol
unteers have rendered real service, but
there is no Official certainty about this
LAS to money, 1 will sav that this
is most urgently required for many pur-
poses. Therefore, 1 shall lie particu-
larry happy if money is sent me. It
is preferred that the donors do not stip-
ulate anything, but that it should be
sent for the Orange Free State govern
ment, which request will be very care
fully observed. I myself have spent a
small fortune already for our just
cause"
