HER PREM0NITION OF DEATH
Circumstances That Led Prominent
Woman to Live Ever in Fear of
Impending Disaster.

A most. touching account of the
premonition of coming trouble which
she experienced before the tragic
drowning of her children at Paris, was
given by Isadora Duncan, the dancer.
whose poetic interpretations charmed
the people of two continents.
Two months before the unhappy ac-
cident, the bereaved woman was con-
tinuously haunted with visions of
death. Consulting her physician, she
was assured that she was suffering
from nerves" When playing in Rus
sia shortly afterward, so strong was
her conviction, one night, that her
own death was imminent, that she left
letter containing her slast words"
on her dressing table, before going
onto the stage. Again one night on
the train she seemed to hear Chopin's
Funeral March all night Ions. At the
same time she seemed to see vision
which produced SO vivid an impression
that on the stage next evening, en-
tirely without rehearsal, she repro
duced it in motion, reducing her audi
ence to tears. "AI1 through my per-
formance," Miss Duncan says: Il felt
Is though 1 were marching to my
grave through an icy wind, and after

sort of ecstacy that was not earthly

their nurse to Paris, for little outing,

The countess did not even glance up

We are pleased observe that contemporaries the Dispatch and Interna tiona which have always been in hearty accord working shoulders touching, for partisan ticket. Old time democratic politicians, however endeavoring to perpetuate the partisan system and to continue the present government. A party platform has been prepared by the democrats which has been neatly vivisected by the Interna- tional.
 The platform endorses the present city admin istration and is then guilty of the inconsistency of not standing pat. It pledges the administration, il continued, to the enactment of many reforms which have been neglected by it in the face of public de- mands. It recites the failure to regulate the saloons and disordery houses but promises that there shall be complaint on this score in the future.
