Rumored In Wall Street That
George Gould viii
Step Down and
Out.

New York, March 24.--It is report
ed in Wall street that the American
Telephone & Telegraph company is
negotiating for the acquisition of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
owned by the Goulds.
Details are lacking, but on good au-
thority 1t is said that negotiations are
on the basis of a guarantee resembling
the terms on which Manhattan IL"
was acquired by the inter-urban COM
pany. 1t is said that a meeting will
be held this week at which details
will be taken up.
II is reported that George Gould
has determined to relinquish his
holdings in telegraph, traction and
like enterprises in order to devote his
entire time to the development of hia
great railroad interests.
The acquisition of the Western I'm
ion by the American company would
cause complications in the fight be-
tween the Goulds and the Pennsyl,
vania railroad, which is now trying
to oust the Western Union from its
system. alI,J

SEEKING TO PLEASE.

I Pleasing others may. or may not, be
an unworthy aim. He who seeks 10
please everybody as matter OF pol
icy is not less selfish than he who de-
cides that 1t is unman!y to seek to
please ANYBODY. But he who seeks
to please others without thought Of
himself may safely please as many as
he can reach without turning aside
from the path of duty. 1t is unworthy
of Christian to seek to please anoth-
er from a selfish motive. but one who
is seeking to please God will find a
worthy way to please some of Gods
children.

IN REGARD TO DREAMS.

Something About Them which are Uas
| accountable.
7 There were O bevy of women talking
about dreams.
Some Knocked at the idea that dreams
are anything more than the vagaries OF
the imagination when II is no longer
controlled by the will; others realized
there might be things in this world
which even they did not understand
fully: and 60 the subject would not be
lightly dismissed. I
ut has been conclusively proven by
experiments, said the Psychic Student,
that there is nothing to differentiate
natural sleep from hypnotics sleep.
The subjective mind, or soul OF man, Is
controlled by the power Of suggestion
during both; and telepathic messages
may be conveyed to persons during
normal, just as readily as dreamy hyp-
motto sleep. Profound sleep, whether
hypnotic or normal is drelmless 20
far as your recollection informs you.
If your sleep be light you will remem-
ber these messages.
I you can readily see. in the light OF
my statements, that your dreams may
have deep meaning" /
That sounds interesting" declared
the Quiet Woman, "and explains my
recent experience. For the last month
certain Individual has been walking
through my dreams with surprising
regularity.
'Yes. of course, the creature was a
man. One woman would never take
the trouble to haunt another in her
dreams. But to continue, Il was not

to believe he had entirely forgotten me.
Still there was vividness about these
visions that made me wonder whether
they were entirely due to my own im-
agination. To my surprise, this man
materialiZed in the flesh recently, sur-
prising me even more than he had by
presenting himself in my dreams.
You have explained the mystery
concerning my nightly visions. Hs
was thinking of making that call, and
] received the information telepathic-
ally In sleep"
! II have had many curious dreams,
one In particular that l would like to
account for" said the Hostess, with
deep eyes that looked far from the
present. /
'One morning IN the last light sleep
Just before rising, sav friend In
great trouble. He was far from his
own home and near me on A business
trip. I could see him clearly, and AZ
though he knew ! was near, he did not
speak to me but made a hurried call
and left, his face worn with care. 7

thing had happened and wrote to know
what was wrong and where he had

Disaster had fallen the night of my

made a trip to a place not far from

name of Leonard c. Ccnold Of the
Hannah block on the check. Eaton
was traced to Akron by local police
but from there on he covered his
tracks successfully and escaped.
Eaton formerly lived in Canton, and
on n trip to Toledo met Mrs. Hollistei'
and they concluded to join hands for
life. The conclusion was reached
about midnight, when minister Of
the gospel was found to marry them.
They stopped over night at one Of
the hotels, and the next morning
Eaton had departed for parts um-
known. He realized, that he had forg,
ed a check for $48 and that It would
not be long before the officers of the
law would be ON his tracks. He went
to Hudson. Mich, and there communi-
Gated with his wife of only few
hours. While they were talking ar
raugements were made to have him
telegraph her ticket, and by that
time the sheriff was on, and by the
use of the long-distance telephone the
sheriff of Hudson was instructed to
make the arrest. In less than half
an hour after his conversation he was
under arrest and was Immediately
brought to Toledo for trial.
The news of Eaton's arrival at the
Ohio penitentiary, published in Tues
days News-Democrat created the
liveliest interest among many who had
known him. His relatives here refuse
to discuss the case.
