FORETOLD NAPOLEON'S FALL
Discovery of Old Manuscripts Written by a
Danish Astrologer Centuries Ago.

Discovery of Old Manuscripts Written by a
Danish Astrologer Centuries Ago.
Some old manuscripts have just been
discovered in San Francisco of wonder
full Importance. These manuscripts
are the production of one Peter Han
sen, noted Danish astrologer, who
lived through the end of the sixteenth
and beginning of the seventeenth cen
turtles. He was a contemporary and
correspondent of Johann Kepler, the
great German astronomer, Basil and
other learned men of that time He
was also a nephew and pupil of the
celebrated Danish astronomer, Tycho
Brahe, and lived in Copenhagen in the
years 1894 to 1912 The discovered
Hansen manuscripts are in possession
of a descendant, Olaf Linnberg, who,
however, knew nothing of their nature
although believing them of great i'm
portance. Mr.. Christian Andersen, an
accomplished Danish scholar, has ex-
amined these old papers and found
wonders in them
Part of these manuscripts are of the
greatest Importance to the American
people at the present time. But first it
will be well to Sow the value of these
calculations and predictions. The great
plague of 1664-166s is clearly foretold,
with cumulative disaster on London,
indicating the great fire more than
half century in advance. Lilly bor-
rowed from this. The French revolu-
ton and the rise and fall of Napoleon
are clearly predicted and with entire
precision in the designation of years.
These are accompanied by charts and
diagrams, apparently of terrestrial and
celestial combination. On one of these
charts is a heavy line from the French
frontier of Moscow. The fall of Ma
poleon is told with the force of Ian
guage of a prophet. 1t says:
1.-The conqueror shall become naughty
and despotic, drunken with ambition,
leading his victorious hosts through
fire and blood as a glutton revels at a
feast. Then shall he penetrate the
north for new conquests, passing be-
yond the lines of his suspicious star,
and. two stars of evil omen confront
him. His victorious banner shall wither
like dry twigs in a blast of fire He
shall stagger back before a hurricane
OF destruction, tattered, bleeding and
torn, and fall PROSTATE to the earth.
Yet shall he rise again, in the furious
agony of dying giant, to sink forever,
as choking in sea of blood
AMONG the other r,radic+ioDC in 4baco
old documents are the destruction OF
Lisbon by earthquake, the extinction
of the papal temporal power, the
Franco-German conflict and other great
| natural and political commissions.

ExACTING PEOPLE.
There Is No Limit to What Some of Them
Want.

A demure-looking little woman en-
tered drug store in the central part
of the city the other evening, says the
Courier-J ournal. and asked the clerk if
they kept postage stamps. When an
swered in the affirmative she pulled a
small pocketbook from her pocket, and
after looking through it, she said she
wanted five cents worth The clerk
smiled and said that he could not give
her FIVE cents WORTH as they kept only
two-cent stamps. She picked up the
nickel, which she had laid on the coun-
ter, and started toward the door She
stopped before she had reached it, and
looked around at the clerk, and said:
well, you people in this store are
the most unaecomnodating persons l
ever saw, and 1 will never buy another
thing here as long as I live, and I will
tell everybody in the neighborhood
about you, too" With that she rushed
out and slammed the screen door. The
last seen of her she was walking rapid
ly up the street. When she had left
the clerk said that was only an example
of what took place every day. why
he said, "a woman came in to the
store the other day and complained
that we did not put enough mucilage
on our stamps, and then got perfectly
furious when I told her that we did not
make them ourselves. I'll tell you,'
he continued, ''such women are awful
ly hard to get along with"

No books of the association had pre-

Many other horsemen will come in at

The time OF holding the winter races
was discussed and though nothing was
definitely agreed upon it was the opin-
ion of the mem bers that meet should
be arranged to be held in the early fall.
At this it was thought best to charge
no admission fee. The main races.
though, will likely take place at some
time during the session of the legisla-
ture.

Former Butler Thinks His Honor
Has Been Impugned.
NEWPORT. R. l., Sept. 27.-Mrs. Paran
Stevens of New York has just been
sued for 5000 for alleged SANDER, and
the case will be heard at the next ses-
sion of the supreme court.
The leader of society missed sample
bottle of rare old brandy and she called
in all her servants to inquire about it.
She claims she accused no one in par
ticular. A we'll known member of So
ciety, Mrs. A. Landenburg, was her
guest, and being i'll took the bottle to
her room and brought it down stairs
the following morning.
The butler, who had been in Mrs.
Stevens employ less than a week, felt
that his honor had been impugned and
at once, despite the protests of Mrs.
Stevens left her employ. She begged
him to stay but he refused, and the
suit is the result. Mrs. Stevens states
that it is a case of blackmail and pro-
poses to fight it out.

PREHISTORIC MARKS.
Gigantic Footmarhs Found in a Texas
Canyon.

Gigantic Footmarks Found in Texas
Canyon.
In the Palo Duro canyon lying north
or Amarillo Tex, the hacking away of
large piece of alluvi2l earth has re-
Gently revealed a singular trace of pre-
historic life. This, says the Philadel-
delphia Times. consists of the unmis-
taxable trail of some large animal 60
ing over the rocks, followed by an
other, probably of the human kind, or
at any rate OF gigantic specimen Of
the ape. That it is the former is the
more likely, as the monkey tribe, ex-
cept in the smallest families, is not
found on this continent or in South
America.
The first animal, judging from the
marks it left on the impressionable
rock, was of the reptile family, for it's
tail, soft underneath, though weighted
with scales sufficiently to make it
heavy enough to drag an inch and a
half deep, left a broad, smooth trench,
while the claws by which it assisted it.
self were of the true alligator type,
webbed between. These claws were
nearly five inches long, and were evil
IDENTIFY intended to aid the creature in
climbing on land, as it's webbed mem
brane served it for swimming in water.
But more curious are the marks of
the animal which pursued it. These
are of two hands, nearly three times
the size of the ordinary mans hand,
and those of two active feet, both
hands and feet possessing five mem
bers, though all of equal length, ex-
cept the thumb. This, while shorter.
is yet longer in proportion by half an
inch than is found in man of TODAY. l.
was also of unusual strength, sinking
much deeper than the rest of the hand
into whatever it seized upon. The nails
are curved and very powerful, those of
the feet being particularly so, grasping
the rock firmly.
Another singular thing is the position
of the marks. They are carved in a
rock standing nearly perpendicular to
the bed of the ancient river nine hun
dred feet below, and which must once
have been as wide as the Mississippi,
and of a current sufficiently strong to
have cut its way through these granite
rocks. This position of the remains
would indicate that the reptile turning
up from the stream was pursued by the
other animal, and probably killed on
land. This part of the country is pro-
nounced by biologists to be among the
most ancient formation of the con-
tinent.
The rock on which these marks are
to be found is about one hundred and
fifty feet below the surface of the
earth, and is only to be reached by one
swinging over the side of the precipice.
They were discovered by an amateur
geologist, who, noting the fall of the
soil, went down in the hopes Of adding
to the rich antediluvian spells this
singular chasm has yielded. Plaster
casts have been taken of the prints,
and will be forwarded to the state
mueeum at Austin The marks are
plainly visible from ledge some fifty
feet down the side Of the canyon, and
have been viewed by all in that section
interested in.such matters.

SLAUGHTER OF PET QUAIL.
An Incident of a Castle Creek
Tour.
A Mistake by Sportsmen eliminates
in a Base and Well SuS-
tanned Deception.

Next to obtaining badly needed
rest from long continued and arduous
duties, the principal object of the late
trip OF DIR. Kirkwood and Messrs. Geo.
B. Perkins and John Baggiore to Castle
Creek hot springs, was to hunt quail.
The party was quartered at the famous
hostelry of the more justly famed Uncle
Tom Holland. After a day or two
spent in making inquiry about the
haunts of the quail and the lay of the
land, they set out one morning we'll
provided with ammunition. Uncle
Tom had told them that the quail never
approached within mile or two of the
house, but he named a certain point
about four miles distant where, he
said, the quail were In annual conven-
ton and that that particular day the
delegations from every precinct would
be full and there would be thousands of
enthusiastic visitors.
The sportsmen set out for the quail
convention but within less than quar-
ter of mile from the house flushed
two or three coveys of birds. What
was the use Of going any further when
they could have all they wanted right
here at home? For the next half an
hour they kept up a continuous fusilade
and dead quail by dozens lay on the
ground. Suddenly the form of Uncle
Tom on horse back appeared on the
brow of hill behind them. but they
had heard him before they saw him.
"Hey there!" he yelled. ''Great God,
ye amt, shootin' them patridges air
ye?" and as Uncle Tom rode nearer he
explained with profanity, Eye know,
by Cd, thems pets, We know; ye
mustn't shoot them We know. Helen
damnation, We know, I've been to a
heap o. trouble ye know, inspirin' them
birds to have confidence in me an feel
sorter at home We know, in this
vicinity
DR. Kirkwood assured the old man
that there had been no slaughter, that
they had fortunately not got the range
of the birds before they had thus re-
ceived timely warning. Uncle Tom
rode away satisfied and when he was
out of sight the sportsmen gathered up
about gross OF dead birds and lugged
them mile or two further on.
That was as far as they cared
to go. They didn't want any
more quail but it was necessary to COM
plete the deception of Uncle Tom. They
began firing at imaginary coveys of
quail so that he might hear the shoot
ing and that they might satisfactorily
account to him for the game they were
going to take back.
When they returned he met them
and said"Ye found the wild patridges ?"

Street Singers in Paris.

A curious light has been thrown on
the profits of street singers in Paris by
a wild lark in which some amateur
vocalists INDUCED lately. Disguised
in dilapidated clothes, one posing as
an Arab, they made the tour of the
Grand boulevard, singing before the
cafes, and in one day cleared one hun
dred and twenty-one francs (twenty-
four dollars, to which they added
another sixty-two francs twelve dol
lars) the same night by taking in the
Latin quarter Their stock in trade
was Gascon song, which the public
took for a native Arab air, and a senti-
mental French ballad.

nothing less than an infant regiment

Oats as a Food for Hens.

Oats are highly recommended as an
egg producing food for hens. Oats
contain more mineral matter and less
starch than wheat or corn, and for
that reason they should enter into the
ration, not only by way of variety, but
because they will aid in supplying the
hens more completely for producing
eggs. Ground oats, sifted, make the
best food for little chicks and may be
fed dry. Our farmers do not feed
enough oats and thus get their hens
too fat by allowing them corn and
and wheat in excess. A change of
grain will be beneficial and highly rel

Break on negotiations.

The Democratic conterees should
break off negotiations with these men
delegated to represent the Republican
party. To negotiate farther would be
to compromise themselves and their
party. The Republicans have acted
with neither sincerity nor fairness, and
no farther dealings with them should be
had.
The Democrats made fair PROPOSE
tion. It was that Sheriff Gould should
follow the example OF Sheriff Simmons
and divide his force Of deputies between
the parties. The conferees we're selected,
and when they met, the Democrats
were urged TO consent to counter
propositions which we're wholly unRc-
ceptable.
The principal one was that the Demo
cratic sheriifs Of Kent and Sussex
counties should appoint like forces for
service In rural communities, where
party passion has never arisen to such a
pitch as to render deputies necessary to
preserve the psace or the purity Of the
ballot.
Another important concession asked
was that the Department OF Elections
should remove q bakers dozen Of Re
publican registration and election officers
Of its own selection, and allow Chairman
Bach and his Corruption Hall gang to
fill the vacancies with INSCRIPTIONS
partisans, who would do their masters
bidding regardless Of consequences.
But by far the most outrageous
proposition was that the polling places
should be closed to the public while the
votes were being counted, and that each
party should be represented by three
men. The law specifically states that
the count shall be public, and the con
ferees Of neither party could, in event Of
such an agreement, 60 behind the law
and exclude from the polling place any
man who might wish to hear the vote
counted
There are other parties in Delaware
besides the Democratic and Republican,
to say nothing OF the Independent voters.
No conference Of Democrats and Repub-
licans can bind them. They know the
law and would be quick to take advan
tage Of it in the face Of such an agree
ment. No one could blame or hinder
them. There is no precedent Of 'crowd
ing" or otherwise interfering with th,
count which could Justify such steI
even II the law preventing it did no
exist.
Put a stop to comforting Let the peo
pie OF the rural districts remain free from
deputy sheriifs. Keep on the list O
election officers the men named by th
Department Of Elections. Throw opel
to the people the places where the count
ing Of votes is being DONE allow sheril
Gould to appoint straightout force 0
deputy sheriffs II he wants to, and then
If tits necessary to meet this force t
