LINCOLN'S DREAM
lconsa.usd Prom Mrs, Page,


question as to the character of the
dream.
Possibly the most exact description
OF the incident. and certainly the
most matter-offact was that written
by Sec. OF the Navy Gideon welles, as
follows:
The President remarked that news
would come soon and come favorably
he had no doubt. for he had last
night his usual dream, which had
preceded nearly every great event of
the war. ] inquired the particulars
OF this remarkable dream. He said
1t was in my element-it related to
the water: that he seemed to be In a
singular and indescribable vessel, but
always the same. and that he was
moving with great rapidity toward a
dark and indefinite shore: that he
had had this singular dream preced-
ing the firing on Sumter. the battles
OF Bull Run. Antietam, Gettysburg.
Stone River CMurfreesboro.. Vicks-
burg. Wilmington. etc.
General Grant remarked with
some emphasis and asperity that
Stone River was no victory-that a
few such victories would have ruined
the country. and that he knew OF no
important results from IT,
THE President said that perhaps
he should not altogether agree with
him. but. whatever might be the facts.
his singular dream preceded that
fight Victory did not always follow
his dream. but the event and results
were important. He had no doubt
that battle had taken place or was
about being fought and Johnston will
be beaten for had this strange
dream again last night. II must re-
late TO Sherman: my thought are in
that direction and I know or no other
very important event which is likely
just now to occur"
Friend Of the Fallen South.
The Cabinets discussions that day
were broad ones OF reconstructing
the South. OF reopening avenues or
trade and reestablishing State Gov
ernments.
Throughout them Lincoln displayed
depth OF charity and love for his
fellow citizens OF the South such as ne
had never before displayed in all his
tolerant dealings with his war time
enemies. He checked any tendency
on the part OF his associates to be hard
with the people who had been in arms
against him. Mr.. Stanton mad a sug-
gestion that. for administrative pur-
poses. the States OF North Carolina
and Virginia be considered as one.
Lincoln emphatically discountenanced
IT,
According to Mr.. Welles. the Presi-
dent made these remarks:
He hoped there would be no perse-
cution. no bloody work. after the war
was over. None need expect he would
take any part in hanging OF killing
those men. even the worst OF them.
Brighten them out OF the country.
open the gates. let down the bars.
scare them OF. said he. throwing up
his hands as n soaring sheep. Enough
lives have been sacrificed. We must
extinguish our resentments II we ex-
pect harmony and union. There was
too much OF a desire on the part OF
some ofour very good friends TO be
masters. TO interfere with and dictate
To those States. TO treat people not as
fellow citizens: there was too little
respect for thei- rights. He did not
sympathize I'm those feelings.
This was Lincoln's last official ut
terance TO his Cabinet

British steamer Cassandra, which
sailed tonight for England
That the escape OF the Wilhelm
from the allied warships on the
Capes was miraculous one was at
tested TO tonight by Captain ThierfeI-
der. in describing his experiences
after destroying the Coleby. March
q last.
Thierfelder's Story.
we started north from the equator
short OF coal and provisions" he said.
we also had sick sailors abroad, af-
fiicted because of too much rice diet
and lack Of fresh vegetables. When
we started north we hoped and had
planned to meet German supply
ships. Unfortunately for us. none
turned up. What became OF them I
don't know except we saw from the
shelter of overhanging clouds one col
Tier we had expected being chased BY
two British cruisers. which fortunate
ly could not sight us.
Unfortunately also on our trip
north through the mid-Atlantic we did
not meet any merchant ships from
which we could get coal and supplies.
In this situation it was necessary for
US TO get to port and also to drydock.
AS we came up we continually
heard the British warships talking to
each other by wireless II seemed
on some days and nights that there
were as many as eight warshIps with
in radius OF a few hundred miles
But we kept on due north, running as
rapidly as we could with our ship
darkened at night. One night we
heard the exchange OF news about
the Eitel Friedrich being at Newport
News. Thereafter we heard informa.
ton about the Eitel every night. and
few nights ago we got the news
from the British wireless that the
frinz Eitel had been informed.
Made Dash for Capes.
immediately thereafter all talking
between the British warships ceased.
We presumed that the fleet was break
Ing up. and on Saturday night we dc.
cided TO bolt In for the Virginia canes.
With all lights out we started al
TOP speed. but had not gone far when
we again picked up the wireless of
the allied warships. However. we
kept on. One ship seemed dangerous
ly near as We approached the capes.
One night on our way up we were

made for her. There were low over.
hanging clouds about us. but in the
distance brilliant moonlight showed
us our ship and there were two Brit
ish warships after her. The clouds
protected us and we escaped. We
never heard of the collier again"
Captain Thierfelder denied state
ments made by British prisoners
aboard the vessel that the kronprinz
ever was In wireless communication
with the Prinz Eitel while the latter
was In port here or before that time.
Official inquiry was made concerning
those reports The commander de-
clared he had tried repeatedly after
being commissioned as merchant
raider 10 establish communication
with the Prinz Eitel but failed.

MISSING MAN FOUND.

Fernwood, Miss, Sept. 21.-Charles
T. Stepp, the Illinois Central railroad
train dispatcher, of McComb. Miss,
who has been missing from his home
for several weeks, has been located in
Buffalo, N. Y. Mr.. Stepp had been in
the employ of the Illinois Central for
some time as dispatcher and also holds
credentials as Methodist minister.
In addition to this he was a member
of the board of aldermen of McComb.
1t seems that Mr.. Stepp had not
been feeling well and decided to take
trip to Allison's Wells in order to
recuperate his strength, after which
he had planned to assist in a revival
meeting in the central part of the
state. Mr.. Stepp, it is said, did not
go to Allisons Wells and nothing fur.
ther was heard from him so that his
family began to institute search.
No motive could be assigned to his
strange move and some of his friends
feared that his mind may have become
deranged.
When found in Buffalo he was in
search of employment. The people to
whom he applied for work, having
read of his disappearance, at once got
into communication with his rela.
tives.

Il believe that there is necessity

route is secured. as indicated, then
we should all work to get highway

point it would connect with the Jack
