iIhe oiio~Ing circumstances connected
WIN q dream she had. II Is entirely
unnecessary 10 add that all OF Mrs. Jones
Sla1eHlehts are simple recording Of
t1cts, Tor the older inhabitants Of Raj
elgh can we'll remember that she never
ihdulged In stories that had their founda-
ton In hers Or anyone else's imagination.
The Mrs. Williams mentioned, sister Of
Afs. Jones. is the mother Of John Skel-
toh Williams, president OF the Seaboari
AIT Line system, both Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. Williams having been daughters of
Or. Shelton, OF Richmond.
THE story. told in the third person. be-
cause | do not recall Mrs. Jones exact
words, is as follows:
Mrs. Jones, who formerly resided in
ttalel2h, and had q sister. Mrs. Williams.
who lived in Richmond. and another sis
Ter, MIS-. shelton, who was on a visit TO
her n Raleigh, had just returned from a
visit to ner sister in Richmond During
ibis visit Mrs. Jones had a remarkable
dream, which she told next morning 10
Ann Shelton. She dreamed that she was
al the horne OF Mrs. Williams and saw
that the family was in great distress.
J DIR. Williams and the Older daughter
we're not with the family and she went
% several rooms in the house TO find
them, but without success. She also
dre AIMED that she went into the parlor.
Where she saw only two pieces OF the
OLD larniture-the piano and q large
book case-but die see an empty casket
covered With q white pail. The next
morning she spoke OF her dream. and
Shelton told her that all the furni-
ture had been chaDged in the parlog cX-
cept these TWO pieces and that il she had
really been there she would have only
recognized these TWO. Nothing farther
vas said about the dream, but later in
the day Mrs. Jones received u telegram
stating thai the daughter she had missed
IL the dream was drowned the day be-
fore 1T Old Point and her father. Mr..
Williams, had gone after The body.
Having trouble in procuring a casket he
had autographed to his people At home to
have 4 casket ready when he returned.
This was done. and the casket covered
with a white pail was in the parlor at
the very house Mrs. Jones saw ii in her
dream"
another dream that l heard related by
the dreamer has always seemed to me
TO have had a remarkable fulfinent.
Miss Minis had been away from home
for several months and dreamed that she
saw her sister, Mrs. Abbott, crossing a
river on a plank leading her only child
by the hand. and there was q younger
Child with them that Miss Minis did not
recognize. The river was decidedly
swollen and very muddy, and they We're
| all in great danger, and the little child
was drowned but Mrs. Abbott and the
other child got across safely.
'Of course Miss Minis was a good deal
IMPRESSED by the dream ana told several
ladies' about 1t the next morning. One
OF them volunteered to interpret it, say
ing that she believed in dreams but did
not want to make Miss Minis anxious.
She said that all three of them had been
very i'll, but Mrs. Abbott and her older
child would recover and the little one
: would die. Miss Minis said she did not
see how that could be, for her sister
only had one child, the one she had seen
get safely across with her mother, and
she did not see what connection the lit
tie one had with any OF them.
The next day she received a letter tell
ing her that her sister and the child she
saw had both been very i'll but were out
of danger at that time and that there
had been another baby born who had
died.
"A friend of mine in whom / ave per-

markable experience that she had sew
eral years age.
She. with her sister and brothers
wife, were travelling in the South and
had been stopping at a hotel in New Or
leans for several days. One morning
they were all in their room. one OF tho
ladies was reading and one Of them was
writing and my friend, Mrs. Smith, was
sitting by the windo playing with her
sisters child. The room was on the
third floor and there was no balcony or
porch near it. Suddenly Mrs. Smith
heard a voice distinctly say. Run, run
for your life" 1t startled her SO that
she jumped up, catching the baby in her
arms and crying run, run started
10 the door. The other ladies followed
her, thinking she had gone crazy and
they would save the baby. Just as the
! last one stepped into the hall the whole
ceiling fell and everything in the room
was shivered. 1t was found out after
wards that one OF the drain pipes right
over that room was leaking and the
ceiling was soaking wet from that.
DIR. T. E. SKINNER.
DR.. r. E. skinner related the following
stories OF what seem to be instances OF
genuine telepathic message:
