But, If the primitive architecture

The Coming of the messiah.

New HAVEN, Conn, April 13.-Pro-
fessor c. A. Totten, of Yale, in speaking
of the publication of his recent mathe-
matical calculation, said
"Some papers have published that l
predict the end of the world within this
century. They mistake-that is their
error, not mine. do not think that the
end will come for million, years and /
have not made any prophecy about it at
all. What l did declare was that a
mathematical calculation, founded on
biblical truths, proved beyond pread-
venture that the Messiah will come
again before 1900. 1 don't mean by this
that believe the millennium will begin
in 1889. l think that is thousand
years away. I simply say that at his
second coming Christ will make the
world better, as he did at the first.

attack is made on Henry M. Stanley.
This time it comes from Colonel George
