USED A DREAM SERMON.
Preacher Foresaw Young Woman's
 Death-Talked as He Dreamed.

New York, Sept S.-The Rev Os- car E. Baume, pastor of the First German Lutheran church of Newark, announced yesterday, as he began funeral services over the body of Miss Frances Lorna Wadsworth at her late home, 175 Fairmount avenue, that he would preach as nearly as possible the same person, from the same text, as he had delivered in a dream two months ago over the dead body of the same young woman.
 MT Baume said that just two months to the day prior to the drown ing of Miss Wadsworth in the surf at Bradley Beach, which occurred on last Tuesday, 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 it to his wife the following day. He recalled that his text In the dream sermon was Be Ready Also, taken from Luke. xii, II, and he used that text yesterday. and as nearly as he could recall the words of the sermon of his dream.

IRISH EXHIBITION IN 1907.
Building and Grounds Covering Fifty-two Acres We'll Under Way.

Dublin, Sept s.-Great progress is being made with preparations. for the forthcoming Irish International Exhibition. The buildings are rapidly nearing completion and foreign coun- tries are making active preparations to send over exhibits.
 Herbert Park has been chosen as the site of the exhibition grounds. It is situated iR the finest residential quarter of Dublin, within a mile and a half of Its business center, close to the famous Horse Show Grounds of the Royal Dublin Society. and ac- cessible by three lines of tramways. with which the exhibition will be connected with all parts of the city and with the termini of the various railways running from Dublin to the north, south, and west.
 The main entrance of the exhibi- tion opens into Celtic Court. Directly opposite the main entrance of a cen tral octagonal court, 215 feet in dia- meter. surrounded bya corridor open ing into four radial wings each 164 feet long and so feet wide. Over the center of this building rises dome so feet in diameter and 150 feet in height. Around this will be grouped the pavilions for the British colonial, and foreign exhibits. Alto gether the exhibition buildings will cover 52 acres of ground.
 Although the exhibition is held with a view to stimulating eommer- cial development and to promoting industrial education by inviting all nations to exhibit their products. both in the raw and in the finished state, the chief object is to promote the industrial arts and sciences of Ireland by display of the products for which the country is famous and the special facilities which exist for the expansion of partially developed industries. For over ten years there has been a widespread movement on foot for the industrial revival of Ireland. This movement culminated in the exhibition plans now we'll under way.
 Exhibits will be classified fin nine- teen different sections. including l Irish industries, history and educa- ton. fine arts photography. engrav- ing. etc.D. manufacturing and tex tiles. engineering and shipbuilding sports and fishing. mines and metal Iurgy. hygiene. cottage industries and women's section. In addition a ! fine arts section will form an i'm ! Dortant and attractive feature A | special building. vth a floor area ot 30 ,OOO and a wall space of ls.00O square feet. has been built for this purpose.

IMMENSE TRADE IN BAD EGGS.
They Are Preferred to Good Ones by A. Chicago Bakers.

Chicago, Sept S.-"Bad eggs will raise cake better and higher than good ones. I do not know what the bakers use to kill the stench."
 These are the deductions reached yesterday by P. J. Murray, chief food inspector, who also asserts the public has no idea of the bad egg industry. The custom of selling spoiled product direct to the bakers, as we'll as the reprocessing of and dealing in the condensed or dried form, has prevail ed in the city for years. Inspectors have half a dozen firms under sur veillance who. it is asserted, sell eggs at from 46 to 60 cents case of thirty dozen.
 The latest development in the egg crusade is directed against the International Desiccating company. Thousands of cases of bad eggs were seized and confiscated.
