Dreams and Illness.

1t is seriously advanced by an
English doctor that dreams may
foretell sickness. The theory is
that when a man is dreaming his
mind is more sensitive than in his
waking hours, for the simple
reason that his actual surroundings
are not engaging any of the mind s
attention.
Thus it happens that when some
disease has set in the man awake
does NOT feel it in its earlier stages,
although the active mind in a
sleeping body does feel it. The
sleeper dreams, let us say, that he
is suffering some complaint of the
leg, and two or three days later,
the disease having developed, he
finds that he really mas a bad
attack of rheumatism.
Harvey, who discovered the cir
culation of the blood, records hav-
ing had a dream in which a bee
stung him in his left thigh, on a
place where a couple of days later

must have been developing, of
course, at the time of the dream

could not perceive, the

The Cheerful Man.

The cheerful man is prominent
ly useful man.
The cheerful man sees that
everywhere the good outbalances
the bad, and that every evil has
its compromising balm.
The cheerful mans thought
sculptures his face into beauty and
touches his manner with grace.
It was Lincoln s cheerfulness and
sense of humor that enabled him
to stand under the terrible load of
the Civil War.
If we are cheerful and contented
all nature smiles with us; the air
is balmier, the sky clearer, the
earth has a brighter green, the
trees have a richer foliage, the
flowers are more fragrant, the birds
sing more sweetly, and the sun,
moon and stars are more beautiful.
All good thought and good
action claim a natural alliance with
good cheer.
High-minded cheerfulness is
found in great souls, Self-Doised
and confident in their own heaven
aided powers.
Serene cheerfulness is the great
preventive of humanity's ills.
Grief, anxiety and fear are the
great enemies of human life, and
should be resisted as we resist the
plague. Cheerfulnes is their an
tidote.
Without cheerfulness there can
be no healthy action, physical,
mental, or moral for it is the
normal atmosphere of our being. =

THE COLLEGE WIDOW"

Bright and crisp and brimful of good things was the American com edy, "The College Widow" as pre- sented in Polls theater last evening. The comedy is from the versatile pen of George Ade and is staged by George Marion, general stage direc- tor for Henry w. Savage. Surround ed with wealth of beautiful scenic effects and with an unusually large and attractive company of ladies and gentlemen the comedy sparkled and bubbled over with the most appetiz- ing kind of stage pleasantries. The scenes of the play are laid at At water college, an inland institution of learning east of Minnesota and somewhat west of New York, as the program announced. The first scenes are laid in front of the college build- ing just at the opening of the spring term when the college boys and girls were thinking more of the football team that was to represent them than they were of their studies in the col lege. The second day showed re- ception in the gymnasium. the nex- scene was the annual Thanksgiving game between Atwater and Bing- ham. and the last night displayed in every particular the jubilation of the winning team and the wild tricks perpetrated on such an occasion. Every scene was filled with the best kind of clean and clear cut comedy work and there was not a dull mo- ment throughout the whole enter tainment. It was one of the best things that has been given theater attendants in many seasons. There was considerable local interest at tached to the leading man in the company, too, who was Thomas Meighan. playing the part of Billy Bolton, the halfback of the Bingham team, who had been stolen away from the Bingham college by his in- fatuation for the college widow, the daughter of the dean of AtwateI college. Thomas Meighan was for merIy a student at Mount St Mary's college in Baltimore and was a class
 mate of Joseph P. Kennedy and Led CurIey. both teachers at the Crosby high school. His work last night dis tinguished him as comedian oi much merit and his conception oi the role of Billy Bolton was clever one indeed. And what company
 surrounded him. all clever and al cast in happy roles There vas fur every minute during that presenta i ton and particular mention should
 be made of the work Of Frances Rinl

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The next meeting of the Moral club promises to be an interesting ses- sion.
 Joseph Bartlett of North Leonard street Is on two weeks vacation to New York.
 Charles Johnson of Bank street, who has been i'll the past few weeks, is much improved.
 -The Connecticut Railway and Lighting company carried much of the snow from Brooklyn today.
 Last evening the work car of the trolley company got off the tracks at the end of the Bank street line.
 Notwithstanding the weather . large attendance was present at the services at St 'Patricks last evening.
 On Bank street yesterday after noon a farmers wagon was hit by a car and one of the wheels was knock ed off the vehicle.
 -It-is rumored that D. J. Mahaney will in short time tear down the old wooden building near his place of business on Bank street and erect q twO-story brick structure.
 Walter Leshinsky, an employe of Benedict X Burnham's, and residing on Lawrence street. was hit with q piece of tubing while at work Satur- day and received bad wound under the left eye.
 -'Dave" Cronan says he is willing to meet Gordon of New Haven Just as soon as the latter puts up the forfeit. The former is in pretty good shape and thinks he is just ill trim to take someone's measure.
 Ut is said that there are a few foreigners in this section who make a mint of money by getting positions for their countrymen and making the latter give them good sum for the same. From all accounts there is much of this graft game going on.
 Everything comes to those who wait. After long delay the educa- tiOnal commissioners have ordered the Bank street school clock to be illuIn- mated at the expense of not more than $500. Additional rooms are to be built on the school and new light has been placed on Charles street; two men are at work on the pavements keeping them clean; the crosswalls are being looked after and everything is being i'll readiness for those street extensions and the trolley cars which will soon be whirling through Town Plot.
 After the meeting last evening several of the aldermen congratulated Attorney Lynch on his excellent speech in behalf of Brooklyn and Town Plot for improvements. Not withstanding the storm the Brooklyn people were out in force and they had the aldermanic chamber all to them selves, the business men not showing up. The petitions which have been circulated in this section have many hundred signatures and it looks as if the people on this side still hold the favor of the mayor and the aldermen. The latter assured Attorney Lynch last evening that the cause he repre- sented would be given square deal.

Redmond, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party. reiter- ated the belief which he expressed at Manchester that England will ere long give to Ireland all that she could req sonably expect or demand. John Dill lon, member of parliament for East Mayo, also spoke. He said that Irish men had one compensation for their sufferings in fighting Ireland's battle. they mad given Joseph Chamberlain to the Unionist party. "a disastrous gift, for so long as he remains in that party so long will Ireland's enemies be para lyzed and unable to rally for fight against us. Long may he live, for hs has been Irelands greatest friend.'

THE POLICE COURT.
Frank Winters and Mn Minnie Bua,
 van Held for Superior Court.

Frank Winters and Mrs Minnie
 Bunyan were the principal offenders against the law before Judge Peas- ley to-day in the city court. They were charged with disorderly con. duct and robbery of Mrs Bunyan'ss mother, Mrs Sarah Brennan, early Monday morning. They were de- tended by Attorney Bauby. The ac- cused and Mrs Brennan live on Mill street.
 Sergeant Blakely told how he was
 boosted through a window by Officer Tehan in order to get in the house.
 He found the accused in room. Mrs Brennan's left eye was almost closed,
 her nose and face were scratched and her neck bore the imprint of fingers. Mrs Brennan, who is extremely deaf, testified that while Winters threw her on bed and choked her,
 her daughter robbed her of little money bag containing $2.75 which she had inside her waist. Winters tried to gouge out her eyes with his fingers.
 At this stage of the proceedings Attorney Bauby moved for the dis
 charge of the accused as it was not shown that Mrs Bunyan was mar ried. The records of the court show
 ed that on February 10 Bunyan- was
 sent to jail for non-support of his wife. Up to this point, however, there was no evidence on that point
 and several officers were put on the stand and testified about the arrest of p,,uyan for nOn-gYlnDOrt Winters then took the stand and his defense was total denial. Mrs Bunyan followed. She was asked g number of questions and her counsel informed her that she need not an-
 swer any of them on the grounds
 that she might incriminate herself.
 Therefore she refused to say whether or not she was married, or whether she has petition for divorce pend- ing in the superior court, which she has. Regarding the money taken from her mother, she said the old lady gave it to her early in the even- ing and short time before the off, cers arrived she wanted it back to
 buy drink and she would not give 1t
 to her. She denied taking the mon- ey by force from her mother. Both accused were held for the superior
 court on bond of $1,500 on each case.
 George Ellis was up for intoxica- tion and he was fined $7 and costs.
