mArHEmArucALLY PREDICTED.
Professor Totten Says the Messiah
VII, Come In March, 1899.

NEW HAVEN, April 14.-Predictions Of
the end of the world and the coming of the
millennium are so commonin these days that
little attention is paid to them. But now
comes man whose prediction Is attracting
attention because it is made by one of
education and responsible position In great
institution of learning. This man is Prof.
G. A. L. Totten of Yale. he says that
mathematical calculation, found on Biblical
truths, proved beyond per-adventure that
1900. "Some papers have published" Prof.
Totten said, "that predict the end of the
world within this century. Inat Is an error.
don't think that the end Will come for
million years, and have not made any pro-
phecy about it at all. My remarks were
neither comprehended nor even apprehended.
But here is what do declare not prophecy,
for the prophecy is already told In the Bible
in the parallels OF the laporers IN the vine
yard and the virgins with their lamps. A
generation In its true BIBLICAL sense Is three
score and ten years, seventy years; and so
the fifty-seven generations, traced through
the genealogies In the Old Testament, equal
1890 years. Hence the fifty-eighth genera
ton began with 3.991 year OF the world.)
The hours mentioned In the vineyard par
these by the twelve hours, we have ], 1886,
which, added TO 3,991, equals 6,o27 years of
the world, and the completion or the vine
yard parable. Then, as the work Is natural
ly concluded at sundown, the parable of the
virgins and their lamps properly follows;
and this parable, according to the text, re-
presents one generation, seventy years,
which, added to the 5.S27, make 5.S97.
'Now this 5,S97 A. M. (year of the world)
corresponds to March. 1885, Why? For
these reasons: Caesar pushed the beginning
of the old Hebrew year from the autumnal
lin September) ahead to March, England
pushed the year ahead from March to JAN
uary, and Pope Exigus must have taken the
beginning of 4001 for 1000 in computin the
birth of Christ. We thus gained six months,
plus three months, plus one year; equals
one and three-fourth years. Deduct this
from 5.897, ana we have 5.S954, the time at
find some of the virgins with their lamps un-
trimmed. The 5,895 1-4th year since the
birth of Adam will see the bridegroom, who,
of course, is none other than Christ him
SELF
''Now, what is 5,S95 Ia A. M. in our A. d.
years? Her0d ordered all the innocent Of
two years and younger to be put to death
and soon after that the eclipse of the
moon took place. 1t took place in the year
1898, according to Josephus, and Herod
died in that year. Now Herod limited his
order to children of two years because about
two years before the Magi informed him Of
the birth of the Saviour. So Christ was
born two years before the eclipse and the
death Of Herod-two years before 399S; that
is 1885,
80 now subtract 1896 (birth of Christi
5,895 IA, A. M, to find the A. ID. year, and
you leave 1899 IA A. D.; or, in March. 1899,
the bridegroom will come, and will awaken
the foolish virgins"

PORTLAND PLAYERS SHOWED up WELL.

A lewiston Man Who Wants To Be
Champion TurnIp Eater.

The base ball season waSopened yesterday
afternoon In Portland In the presence of 1000
persons in game In which the new Port
land team was pitted against that formida-
BILE aggregation of ball players, the Boston
National League club. AS was to be ex-
pected, the National League team won. but
the Portlands showed up to be first class
club in all respects, and considering the
fact that 1t was the first time they had met
together on the diamond this season, and
that they were without any preliminary
practice, their friends may well be proud Of
the showing they made against their oppo-
nents. The Bostons had their strongest
pitchers with them and they pitched in their
best form, so that all the Portland boys could
secure were five hits, which was very good
considering the talent against which they
were arrayed. The Bostons also played
very strong fielding game, while the errors
Of the Portlands came at a very unfortunate
time and materially affected the score.
The Portland pitchers showed up very
well, Collins especially doing great work.
Shine proved to be fine catcher. and we
shall expect great things Of him, judging by
yesterdays record, in which he played with
out an error. The bases were well looked
after by Morton, Keay and Webster, while
Barney Mclaughlin played short stop like
George Wright in his palmiest days. Nc
Govern showed up we'll in the field and his
host Of friends expect him to duplicate his
great record in St. John last summer, where
he was counted the star fielder Of the New
Brunswick League. Taken altogether, the
base ball public may be proud of the team
and congratulate Manager Leonard for his
successful endeavor to have Portland repre-
sented by first class nine. Following is
the score In detail:
