A MYSTERIOUS VISION.
Singular Dream That Fersteid the
Fate Of Major Andre.

The following instance may serve
to strikingly justify Colquhoun's
theory that there is an original
spiritual energy expressed in dreams
which has nothing to do with the
state of the body and is beyond the
power Of the soul when it has been
reabsorbed by the material organi-
zation on awaking.
Prior to his embarkation for
America at the outbreak Of the
Revolutionary war Major Andre
went to visit a friend, Miss Rebee-
ca Steward, who lived in Derby
shire. During his stay it was ar.
ranged that they should ride over
to view the wonders of the famous
peak. 1t was also Miss Stewards
desire to introduce the major to
some friends in the neighborhood,
including a Mr.. Newton and the
curate of the parish, Mr.. Cunning
ham. She had given both these
gentlemen notice of her intention,
and while awaiting her arrival Mr..
Cunningham took occasion to tell
Mr.. Newton the circumstances of a
dream he had had the night before
which affected him so that he could
not shake off the recollection of it.
He said that he was standing in
the midst Of a forest that was en-.
tirely strange to him. After gazing
listlessly around him for IA few mo-
ments he perceived a horseman APP
preaching at great speed. AS the
latter came opposite the spot where
the dreamer stood three men who
seemed to have been lying in am
bush sprang from their place of
concealment and, selling the bride
of the horse, ordered the rider to
dismount. They then carefully
searched his person and led him
away. The face, figure and bearing
of the horseman made so deep an
impression upon Mr.. Cunningham's
mind that he awoke; but, falling
asleep again presently, he dreamed
that he was one of a throng Of spec
tators near a great city that he saw
the same person he had seen seized
in the wood brought out between
files of soldiers, who marched him
to a gallows and there hanged him.
When Major Andre and Miss Stew
ard arrived. Mr.. Cunningham was
horror struck to discover in the per-
son of Miss Stewards friend the
very man whose seizure and execu-
ton he had witnessed in his dream.
Here was an accurate anticipa-
ton of events that actually happen
ed within twelve months from the
date of the dream. The capture Of
Andre, the search Of his person for
documents that convicted him for
acting the part of a spy and his
public execution constitute one Of
the most dramatic episodes Of the
contest with the mother country.
How is it imaginable that so definite
a vision of coming events could
arise from the influence of any
physical condition on the mind of
the sleeper? What possible state Of
the body could confer upon the soul
the power to describe future oc-
currences with such exact fidelity
to details?

ray Crane Of Massachusetts, one Of
the many leaders who arrived here
to-day. Immediately got busy on the
task OF sounding National Commit

confided he made II plain that the
Taft forces were now certain that
they had control Of the convention
and that they were prepared TO
"stiffen any weakened brethren"
For the first time since the Taft men
have been In Chicago they were as
suming . bclligerent attitude to-day
and the prospects OF a fight to the
haish grew better as the day wore
on. II was made plain by every one
that would talk about the situation
that there will be no suggestion of
a compromise.
/, Taft and Roosevelt will stand or
. fall by the action Of the convention.
They will fight II out together and
II is certain that the La Toilette
delegates will be too few in number
TO hold the balance OF power and
force a deadlock.
