desperate attempt to end his life to day.

Bimetallists il Council.
Wasnineton, Dec. 15—A meeting of
‘the officers and executive committee
of the American Bimetallic Union began here today for the purpose of devising ways and means to continue the
work in behalf of the unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, and
incidentally to arrange for the resumption of the publication of the National
Bimetallist, the organ of the Union.
It is stated, however, that the paramount business of the meeting will
be to arrange details for a convention
of silver leaders throughout the United
States with a view to inaugurating a
comprehensive organization. It is argued that want of organization and
want of funds were the two causes of
the defeat’of silver. in November, and
that the evil of disorganization at least
can be remedied by -beginning preliminary work at once.

VISIONS WHICH WARNED:
Two Instances ‘Where Dreams of Horses . ‘ieane like girls, ‘tare queer,’ .and
dreams wherein horses figure largely
take rank among the queerest. In the
year 1890 a gentleman entered a promising pacer for a race to come off some If?so
speeding the horse on the last of the
snow.,.and. wrote.to his wife, who was
visiting in a distant town, that his
prospects for a race horse were’ rosy.
That night the lady, although not espe. .
olally an admirer of horses, dreamed
that she was sitting in the stand watching the finish of: the race wherein her . ,
the only other one she saw in her dream,
aud that the judge announced the time
2:20. The letter caused a good deal
of amusement in the family during the
months previous to the race, and finally
when the day came five horses started,
among them being a dark gray. The
dream came true din. every respect,
4n it, the rest just coming into the
stretch; time, 2:2014. Thedream I can
-youch for, as I saw the letter weeks before the race took place.
Another gentleman, who was sleeping
at an inn beside thé track where his
horses were stabled dreamed, that he saw
the window of a stall containing a valuable young horse being stealthily opened from the outside. They fire flashed
