AN EXPLANATION.

A discussion arose in the B. Y.
P. U. a few Sundays ago concern
ing the Interpretation of Pharaoh s
dream by Joseph, surprise having
been expressed that the Egyptian
monarch should have accepted Iii
advance the then uncorroborated
assertions Of an unknown Hebrew
prisoner.
This incident upon it's face. APP
pears to be unreasonable and to
cast doubts upon the authenticity
of the Bible. But it must be re-
membered that the sacred volume
is necessarily very concise &C
count of the events of which it
treats. There were probably in
volved in this circumstance other
conditions which, had they been
narrated, would have made the in
cident perfectly clear.
In Egypt it never rains, the
crops raised III the fields of that
country lying along the river Nile,
receiving the water supply from
the overflow of that stream. FIRE.
quently the river does not over
flow its banks and there is, conse-
quently, a failure of crops and star
walton. Pharaoh was we'll ac-
quainted with these conditions,
and when Joseph told of the years
of plenty, represented by full ears
of corn and fat COWS, and the
years of famine, indicated by the
thin ears and lean kline or cows)
devouring the fair ears and COWS,
it appealed strongly to his good
judgment and application of the
probable. The figures of his dream
could not have better correspond
ed with Joseph's Interpretation,
they also influenced Pharaoh's
oriental Imagination, and induced
him, as mere matter of precau-
ton, to provide for a contingency
which, if it found HIM unprepared,
might have cost him his kingdom
if not his life. Elections in this
country have frequently been lost
to the party iii power on account
of failure of crops.
Dreams are often ridiculed as
signifying nothing, as merely be-
ing the result of our waking
thoughts. To certain extent
this is true. These phenomena of
the mind may be divided into
two classes, ordinary and extraor-
binary, Those of the first class
undoubtedle spring from previous
operations of the mind, but in re-
gard to the second, there are so
many we'll authenticated cases, col
lected by. societies of pschycologi,
cal research, where they have been
strictly and literally fulfilled un-
der most unusual circumstances,
that it sis idle to consider them as
merely condolences. This issa ma
terial age in which we have lost a
great deal of our transcendental
instincts, but with the old patri-
archs leading lives Of quietude and
deep communion with nature, the
case was otherwise. They sproba-
bly, knew, saw and heard things to
which we, with our blunted sensi-
bllitles, are utter strangers.

Two years age Wilbur Ridgeway,
colored, made his appearance at
Dover, Del. He was supposed to
be a deaf mute, and lived up to
that role. He was thief and was
several times arrested for petty
larceny, but each time, save the
last, he was excused from punish
ment because of his affection.
Last week Ridgeway was convicted
of theft and sentenced to receive
thirty lashes at the whipping post.
When about five lashes had fallen
upon his back he began to beg,

tremely loose. The sheriff saws

MINERS CAUSE EXCITEMENT.
No One Knows What Day May Bring
 Forth.

Madisonville, Ky, November S.-The man who was killed in the battle of Providence Sunday morning, Garrett Givens, is a negro living here. Bud Couch, mortally wounded, Is also a negro, and both were union men in the attack ing party. Three of the wounded were non-union men, negroes. who were guard ing the mine There Is a report today that two wounded men were taken to Morgantown and one to Sebree, and that they are all dead, having been shot while attacking the miners
 This report lacks verification though 1t is believed that the men who made the attack suffered very greatly from the fight. In the battle of yesterday morning, at least one thousand shots were fired, while the battle of week ago half that number was fired. Early this morning a part of the Madisonville company went to Providence. The men are under the command of Captain Thom- as. The town is now under guard by the soldiers. A terrible state of affairs ex- ists, not only at Providence but all over Hopkins County and at Empire in Chris tian County. There is state of unrest and no one is surprised at what day may bring forth. Troops are expected.
 The restraining order of Federal Judge Evans court is having its effect and the camps in the immediate neighborhood of Reincke mines was broken tonight. About 175 men moved.

NINE GASES OF

COMPULSORY VACCINATION

Philadelphia, November 1s.-The alarm that has been caused by the nine cases of tetanus following vaccination in Cam den, N. J., has aroused the city officials there to take official action in the mat ter.
 The board of health and the board of education each held meetings today. The former decided to request physicians to cease vaccinating persons until an in- vestigation as to the cause of lockjaw cases has been made and the latter re- cidned the order of compulsory vaccina- tion of all school children.
 Of the nine cases of tetanus so far re- ported seven of the victims have died and the other two are still in a dangerous condition.
 The board of health appointed com mittee of three to act in conjunction with the county physician and make com plete investigation of the whole matter.

RECEIVES ANOTHER LETTER.
Miss Stone Is Well, But Affected By
 Hard Fare.

Sofia, November 1S.-Another letter has been received from Miss Ellen M. Stone. Her health has been somewhat affected by her continual confinement and hard fare, but she expresses herself as still confident of ultimate release. A letter to Mir. Dickinson diplomatic agent of the United States at Sofia, replying to his proposals concerning ransom, says the brigands will hold out for a figure very much above the sum at MT. Dickinson's command.
 The brigands interpret MT. Diclxinson's not having fixed on the sum he is will ing to pay, and on time limit as being indications that he can get more money.
 They also demand immunity from prose- cution. But, 1t Is impossible for the dip lomatic agent of the United States here to have power to bind the governments of Bulgaria and Turkey. This point, however, is not likely to be a serious ob stacle in the way of negotiations.

AMATEUR ATHLETES
 HOLDING SESSION
Southern Clubs Petition to Be
 Allowed to Join

New York, November 1S.-One of the most interesting sessions ever held by the Amateur Athletic Union of the Unit ed States took place today at the Astor house, with President E. D. Babb of Bos- ton, presiding.

 The morning session was taken up lis- tening to the petition of number of Southern Athletic Clubs that they be al- lowed membership in the Amateur Attn letic Union so as to be able to form a new district to include Delaware, Mary land, Virginia, District of Columbia and North and South Carolina, and to call themselves the Middle Atlantic Associa- tion. After a long discussion it was the voice of the meeting that the clubs pe- titioning be allowed to join the Athletic Association, after which they will be en- abled to form a new association to be called the Middle Atlantic. The petition ing clubs are twelve in number and they have had ten sets of games, participated in by GAO actual competitors and attended by over 10000.
 It was decided to permit the Metropoli- tan Association to reconstruct its con stitution to the end of having a delegate on the board of managers from every club in the association. It was determin- ed that a much clearer definition of an amateur be returned so that it might be acted upon at the next convention of the Amateur Athletic Union.
 The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:
 President, E. D. Babb; vice presidents, w. H. Liginger, D. s. Hopkinson, J. J. OConnor, w. E. Hinchman; secretary and treasurer, J. E. Anderson.
