Illustration Of Bitterness Between Fol-

tendant. who happened to be Shilte.
some OF his cold chicken. which the
man took at first and chewed rumin-

mouthful out, exclaiming Who

O'Donovan. at was cooked by your

much II 1t had been cooked by you or
any other giaour: but by a Sunnite!

gust But what is the difference be-

hands he let's the water drip from

DREAMS OF FATHERS DEATH.
In Vision His Daughter Saw Him
Crushed by Cars.

Oakland. Calm a dream that came
TO her six hours before her father was
killed. Mrs. J. G. Stokes. of Point Rich
mond, saw enacted the horrible scene
in which the parent, ]. c. Collins. was
ground to death beneath the wheels
of an electric car.
Sc vivid was the vision that Mrs.
Stokes screamed out in the night aad
aroused her husband. He tried to
soothe her, thinking she was the vic
tim of hideous nightmare. but she
would not be comforted, and the other
morning the news was conveyed to her
that her father was dead-had been
killed even as she had seen the trag,
edy in her dream.
Collins was a pattern-maker and
was employed at the Union machine
works. He left his home at Seventh
and Grove streets to go to work. He
had reached Broadway and was cross
ing that thoroughfare between Fourth
and Fifth streets. when he stepped d.
rectly in front of an electric car that
was approaching at high rate of
speed.
According to witnesses. Collins evil
IDENTIFY did not see the car until 1t was
almost upon him, and then. apparently,
became confused. He appeared not to
know which way to turn and before
the motorman could stop the car Col
Inns was crushed beneath the wheels.
The accident occurred at seven
o'clock in the morning. and as soon as
possible the sad news was sent to
Mrs. Stokes at Point Richmond. who
was anxiously awaiting word from her
father, fearing that her dream would
prove true. She Immediately came to
Oakland.
ut was shortly after midnight that
the awful vision came to me in my
sleep" said Mrs. Stokes. when she ar
rived almost breathless at the morgue.
Il saw what happened several hours
later my father lying horribly cut and
mangled. and with scream / sprang
from bed My husband tried to allay
my fears, but it was of no use. We
were expecting father to visit us Sun
day. as he sometimes did, and | kept
repeating TO my husband that | hoped
father would come Saturday instead of

Could Take His Choice.

At a recent inquest in Pennsyl-
vania town, one of the jurors. after
the usual swearing in, arose and with
much dignity protested against serv-
ice, alleging that he was the general
manager of an important concern and
was wasting valuable time by sitting
as a juror at an inquest
The coroner, turning to his clerk,
said: Mr.. Morgan, kindly hand me
'Jervis' (the authority on juries).' =
Then, after consulting the book. the
coroner observed to the unwilling
juror:
Upon reference to 'Jervis,' | find,
sir, that no persons are exempt from
service as jurors except idiots. imbe-
Giles and lunatics. Now, under which
heading do you claim exemption?'-

Worry Postal Authorities.

Because the postal administration
has imposed a duty of five pfennigs
instead OF two on postal cards intend
ed for urban delivery, the citizens of
Hanover have inaugurated singular
strike against the postal authorities.
Instead of writing postal cards. they
all write letters, and, not satisfied
with sending their effusions in an en-
velope. they fill 1t with newspaper so
AS to bring the weight OF the letter to
the maximum of $50 grams. AS the
envelopes they now use are of the
maximum size tolerated 1t is easy to
obstruct a letter box with only doz-
en- OF such missives. The postal au-
thoriies are alarmed at this obstruc-
ton of the postal service, and 1t is
probable that the former tariff of two
pfennigs on postal cards will have to
be reestablished.

ISLANDS SOLD BY AUCTION.
Beauty Spots In st. Lawrence River
Won in Lottery for College.

There was recently held an auction
IN WATERFOWL, N Y. of 200 of the
Islands in the st. Lawrence river,
which recalled some forgotten and
very entertaining history. These is
lands were won by the late Henry
Yates. then of Schenectady, N. Y. in
a lottery for the benefit of the colleges
of the United States, which was man
aged by Dr. Eliphalet Mott. the first
president of Union college; Archibald
McIntire and Henry Yates. 1t is be-
lieved that these islands will sell for
about $4,000. and among about a
score of heirs to the Yates estate is
Bishop Satterlee. of Washington.
But let none of the youth of to-day
regard President Mott with disfavor
because he was connected with a lot
terry scheme for the benefit of his own
and other educational institutions.
That method of raising money was
not uncommon in the early days.
Back in 17SS. or whereabouts, the leg

free school in Williamstown. which
later developed into Williams college.

the jurymen should accept his inter

unless they were fully satisfied that
they knew more law than he did.
In spite of this. an outrageous YER

to the instructions of the judge, who
