Minister Uses Dream Sermon at Fu-
neral Services.

g. .a. !! m - ;. -
Newark, N. J., Sept. 10.-Rev. Oscar
e. Braune, pastor of the First German
Lutheran church, announced as he be
gan funeral services over the body of
Miss Frances Lorna Wadsworth that
he would preach as nearly as possible
the same sermon from the same text
as he had delivered in a dream two
months ago over the dead body of the
same young woman.
Mr.. Braune said that just two
months to the day prior to the drown
Ing of Miss Wadsworth in the surf at
Bradley Beach he dreamed that she
was before him, dead, and that he was
preaching her funeral sermon
The impression of the dream was SO
strong that he related 1t to his wife
the following day. He recalled that
his text in the dream sermon was BE
ready also," taken from Luke XII, IL,
and he used that text and as nearly as
he could recall the words of the SER
mon of his dream. @

home with his son in Flaw, T. J.
Miller of this city, died to.
day in Minneapolis at the home
of relatives. He had gone to the
city to attend the funeral Of his
sister, and the shock of bereave-
ment was too great for the old
man. He was 83 years of age.
Maj,r Danforth left Bemidji
just week ago and at the time
of going was not in the best OF
health. The recent death of his
daughter, Mrs. T. J. Miller, had
almost prostrated him and when
the death of his sister, the re
naming member of a large
family, with the exception of
himself, was announced, his
friends here feared that he could
not survive the blOW. .5,a
Details of Major Danforth's 8
illness and last hours are lacking,
the only information received by
Mr.. Miller being telegram say
ing that the aged man was dead
Mr.. Miller will leave for the
city tonight, and burial will be
in Minneapolis, where the rest
of the family are inferred.
Major Danforth was born in
Boston, Mass and moved to
Minnesotain 1853 with his twin
brother. That was before the
day of the railroad in this part of
the country, and the trip was
made overland in a 'prairie
schooner. #'s
Mr.. DaEforth first settled in
St. Paul and lived there until
1876, when T. J. Miller married
his daughter, and he moved to
Minneapolis. His home has
been there since, up to five years
ago, when he came with the
MilIer's to this city.
For the first few years while in
St. Paul Major Danforth drove a
stage for one of the express com.
panies, and when the railroads
were built, went into the railroad
business. He first cast his for.
tunes with the st. Paul & Pacific
and in time worked up to the
position of passenger conductor,
When this railroad was merged
into the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba, he stayed Oh, and the
further merging into the Great
Northern still found him at his
post. He followed railroad work
for twenty five years, when he
Lretired from active work. t.-~
Major Danforth was one of the
best known railroad men in the
state and had the honor of being
the oldest living conductor ir
! Minnesota. His wife died ter
years ago and since that time he
has made his home with the
Miller's.

your breakfast. There is nothing SO
conducive to good work and good re-
