SAN FRANCISCO, April Ga few
months ago great excitement was created
in Oakland, across the bay from San
Francisco, by series of revival meetings
conducted by Mrs. Woodwortb, better
known as "the mesmeric reyivalist." ]"
Many persons, mostly young women,
were thrown into frances during the ser
vices, and several became permanently
insane. Finally the police suppressed
the gatherings, and Mrs. Woodwork left
for Santa Rosa after predicting the de.
struction of Oakland and San Francisco
by tidal wave on April Il. One of
her chief disciples, man named Erick.
Bon, also made the same prophecy. Now
that the alleged day of doom is near at
hand the strong influence exercised by
the woman is causing great exodus
from Oakland. A number of credulous
people have left for the mountains after
selling their property for nominal prices.
There are nearly a hundred orders in real
estate dealers hands to sell real estate at
any price, given by persons who have been
frig ghtened away. Many San Francisco
people have also caught the contagion
and are fleeing to the mountains. Short

young woman who had attended Mrs.
Woodworth's meetings created sen5a
tion by running down Washington street,
Oakland, en- de5habiNs, loudly screaming
"I'm coming, good Lord I'm coming
Wait, only wait for me p She was taken
to the police station, where she continued
to beg the Lord to save her from the
deluge foretold by Mrs. Woodworth.
