A Profitable Dream.

John Starms of Concord. n. c., dreamed
the other night that his wife, who has
been dead for twenty-seven years, came
to Ne side of his bed and told him that
he would find gold in a certain spot on
his arm. The next morning he went out
to look, and the first thing he picked up
was a four-ounce nugget. Later his son
discovered that there was a regular
outcropping of gold-bearing quartz at the
place, with signs of a gold mine beneath.

THIS is TO WIN.

Who swings with every wind that blows
Or changes with each changing tide,
Into the harbor of success
His craft will never guide.
Through storm or shine, 'gainst wind and
wave,
With never-lagging courage he
Must steer his vessel ever on,
Straight over life's rough sea.
To breast the storm, the winds defeat,
The waves o'ercome-this is to win.
Who labors thus will hear at last
The summons: Enter in"

ORGAN GRINDER LOSES.
House of Lords Committee Dcides
 Against Him.

London, July A.--The Committee on Privileges of the House of Lords today decided against the claim of William Fur ner Thomas Poulett, Viscount Hinton, the former organ grinder in the streets of London, to the Earldom of Poulett, and in favor of the late Earl's son by later marriage.
 The whole case turned on the question of legitimacy of the claimant. whose evi- den ce and also that of his witnesses was that the late Earl acknowledged him as his son by his marriage with Elizabeth Lavinia Newman, whom he married in 1S49 It was not denied that Miss Newman. prior to the marriage. lived with an offi- cer, Captain Granville. The clamant was born a few motnhs after her marriage to the Earl It was claimed that the birth was premature. which was supported by medical testimony. The defence denied the acknowledgment by the late Earl of the clamant as his son and asserted that on account of the time the Earl had known Miss Newman prior to their mar riage 1t was impossible for the claimant to be his son.
 The court decided that title to the prop erty was not vested in the claimant, but in the EarPs son, William John Lydes- ton Poulett who is still a minor.

AFRAID TO TESTIFY
WITNESSES BEFORE JACKSON
 GRAND JURY SILENT.
Intimidation Has Been Carried to Such an Extent That It is Deem
 ed Useless to Continue the Investigations.

Jackson ky. July 24.--The feud situa- ton here is becoming quite dangerous. Mckinley Cockrill, the 19-year-od brother of Jim Cockrill, who was assassinated, is working hard to get witnesses before the grand jury. His brother Tom, who has been Tn hiding in the vicinity of Jackson, came to town today and is taking a hand
 William Britton was found at his home ten miles in the country last night and is now In jail. He had a hearing before Judge Cardwell when Charles Green. the witness, who says he was standing by Jim Cockrill when he was shot, identified the prisoner.
 The anti-Cockrill people are active and an open clash Is hourly expected.
 It is stated tonight that threats had been made against Charles Green aud that he was intimidated so that he failed to identify the alleged assassins of James Cockrill before the grand jury. It is now charged that the pending investigation of the grand jury has been so interrupted by intimidations of witnesses and prevent ing of appearance of others that 1t is deemed useless to continue the investiga- tions.
 By vote of 8 to 4 the grand jury re- fused to indict Deputy Sheriff William Britton on the charge of being accessory in murdering Town Marshal James Cock Till. The jury also failed to indict hs- bury Spicer. Witness Charles Green tes- tified that he recognized two men, who SC names he did not know, with Curtis Jett when the three shot CockrilI fIcm the court house window. On .he strengTn of this Britton and Spicer were crested. but Greens failure to identify them as tine murderers so weakened the evidence against the men that he grand jury re- fused to indict. Green was brought and kept here under duress and has teea in a state of terror since he came. Green was taken hack to Lexington by de- tachment of soldiers.
 As Riley Coldron came from the grand jury room he was arrested by Sheriff Cal lahan for perjury. Coldiron test fed that Rritton and Splcer were with Gu. .is Jett when Town Marshal James CockIill was killed last summer. The grani Jury re- fused to indict Coldlron and orderei his release as well as that of Spicsr and Brit ton. because of insufficient evidence. The anti-Cockrill people are openly tut liant tonight over the result of the work Of the present jury, which. is practically com- Dleted.

BODY WELL PRESERVED.
Doctors Deny the Report of Decom-
 position

Rome, July 24.-The report generally cir. culated that the body of Pope Leo was beginning to show signs of decomposition caused great excitement. but 1t is now contradicted by the doctors. Many peo- pie who had decided to visit the chapel of the sacrament in St Peters on the last day of. the lying in state and thus avoid ing the crowd hurried there to-day, fear ing that it would be buried tonight while many persons in the provinces took the first trains to Rome. which resulted in a gathering at St. Peters larger than that of yesterday.
 Otherwise the scenes were practically the same The work of the soldiers and police on duty was more arduous owing to the burning sun and dust and the strug- gle to enter the cathedral the fainting of women, screaming of children and the quarrels of the men. However no grave incident has so far been reported.
 Dr. Lapponi in the face of the doubt cast on the efficacy of his process of em- balnf1ng. went with the other doctors to- day to examine the body of the Pope and found it to be in perfect state of pre- servation. The dark color assumed by the face was attributed to the smoke of the many candles burning around.

VALET JONES DISAPPEARS.
Detectives Have Searched in Vain
 For Him

New York. July A.-Detectives who have been searching for Charles F. Jones. who confessed having caused the death of Texas millionaire Wm. Marsh Rice. whose valet he was. have secured the South in vain for the man.
 Jones received immunity for becoming a State witness against Albert T. Patrick, who was charged with killing Rice, through the instrumentality of Jones for the purpose of securing the Rice millions. In June, 1902 Jones was given his free dom on the nominal bail of $10O0. Before Jones was permitted to leave prison he was made to agree that he would keep in constant touch with the district attor- neys office, and with this understanding he was permitted to return to his old home in Texas.
 Nearly everyone he had known from childhood passed him in silence on the streets. He was practically in solitude among his former friends. He went to Houston where he had worked as a clerk for Rice in a warehouse. He met with scorn wherever he went and in the let ters sent to the District Attorney com plained bitterly of the treatment As a last resort Jones went to Galveston and shipped under an assumed named, as mate on the schooner Rapholo. which made weekly trips from Galveston to San Jacinto River. He then went to New Or leans, where his letters stopped.
 It became necessary to locate Jones in a proceeding connected with the Patrick appeal. but no trace of him can be found.

 instatement.

Washington. July 24.-(Special.)-W. A. Miller. the foreman of the government printing office. whose reinstatement the bookblnders union is fighting. appeared at the government printing office to-day, and tomorrow morning will report for duty under instructions of Public Printer Palmer. The bookbinders have positively announced that they will walk out if Mill Ter goes to work. and that the allied trades will take sympathetic action.
 The Civil Service Commission issued a certificate of reinstatement which reached the public printer about noon to-day. and MT. Palmer announced positively that in accordance with the order. Miller would return to work tomorrow morning unless there was meantime some executive order to the contrary. which he said was very improbable. He declined to discuss his policy further and said that he did not believe the bookbinders would walk out.
 Secretary Cortelyou has advised the bookbinders union that the charges against Miller are matters for the con sideration of the public printer as they involve an employe of the laters office. He also has advised that the question should be settled by the Presidents order of reinstatement and charges of unfit ness as an employe now pending are sep arate and distinct subjects. the former being regarded as a closed incident.

 John Boyd. the Treasurer of the stone cutters union, was recalled. By him the prosecutor identified a contract between the six members of the stone cutters union and the Lawyers Surety Company, which was introduced to disprove the testimony of yesterday that these same members divided the H,600 among them selves. The document was contract by which the members of the secret com mittee could not draw the money from the Lawyers Surety Company unless they filed every other day statement of services rendered. Boyd testified that he had turned over to Surphy the s,GO0 he had received 'for services to be -en- dered" as his shore of the $9,600 trust fund.
 William A. Norie, treasurer in 1902. and now president of the Stone Cutters As- sociation, told of the secret" commit tees turning over the checks to Murphy, bhO thCaohiCt, uOW tAc Si4 OtucE utCIuDCES of the committee began to get uneasy about the whereabouts of the checks and how they went to Murphy and told him that he must put the money through the proper channels of the Association. Norie said that Murphy told them that they would have "to dig deeper than him" to get the money. but that he finally agreed to meet them the next morning. Then. although they all gathered as agreed, rrah nnf fk1v hat that Murphy went to Europe.
 After sustaining several objections rais- ed by the prosecutor. on counseps pro- ceedure, Judge Newburger said:
 If it is proved that funds of this or ganization were turned over to the de- fendant for keeping them. he will be held responsible for them and must give a sat- ihfactory accounting. I will so charge the jury. If the money in question was ob- tained by questionable practice then there is another means of correcting the evil.
 The trial was adjourned until Monday.
