PROPHECIES ron 1895.

Mrs. Kelly Hartman OF Lynn. Mass,
has either been impressed or resolved
out Of her own head to make series of
prophecies for this year. Some of her
predictions anybody without occult
power could foresee- as, for instance,
that there will be great rowing in con-
gress, with "unusual excitement and
discold.n Unusual excitement in con-
gress has been the usual thing for so
long that we are well used to IT now
and don't mind it, Furthermore, She
says that at least three prominent
politicians will die. Heaven give them
happy release Ii the smaller poll
ticians land good many Of them would
follow suit, the country would have a
happy release and a rest as well.
Royalties and rulers are going to have
bad time Queen Victoria will be
very i'll and maybe die, and President
Cleveland will not feel very well him
self. The Prince OF Wales will have
much trouble, and there will he sickness
in his family Americans are sorry for
this, for Wales is beginning to show
that he possesses some of the good hard
sense and not little of the kindly heart
Of his father, Prince Albert. There
will he two deaths in the British royal
family in 1895, says Mrs. Hartman, and
in our own reigning house little Prin-
cess Ruth Cleveland will have an i'll
ness So much for royalties.
Bloated capitalists and millionaires
may look little out, for they viii not
have good time They will sustain
great financial losses, and the death Of
one of them will cause considerable eX-
element We doubt that The death
of even hundredfold millionaire never
yet has caused any great excitement in
this country. We are too much aceus-
toned to millionaires.
Three great men are TO die by violence,
and an unusual number of prominent
people are to quit this life also, quietly
in their beds. Let us all take the best
of care of ourselves.
There are going to be in 1895 enough
excitement and stir to have lasted the
good old times a generation. The labor
agitation will continue more liercely
than ever, and at the end of the year
working people will find themselves de-
cidedly better off than they are now.
Well, they can stand it. Two Very in
iluential men will be of great benefit to
the cause of labor. Thousands of men
who read this prophecy will thereupon
ask is it ~ 1t win be a bad year he
cause of train robbing and crime, espe-
cially in the west. There will he
dreadful earthquake OF two in the
southwestern United States. Whether
politics in Texas has anything to do with
these the prophet sayeth not. Besides
the earthquakes the seer tells us there
will te unusual storms on land, such as
we had in 1894, and tremendous great
one at sea. Three huge buildings will
fall, probably some of the skyscraping
hotels and apartment houses built ON
the new plan of economizing ground
rents. A big steamer will be lost at
sea, with great sacrifice of life, 1--WE
wonder if this was to be the Elbe.) and
there viii be constant heresy trials and
theological agitation in the church
denominations.
The year 1895 will, however, be a
wonderful one for the advancement of
science, invention and labor reform, we
are told. That let's us down a little easy
and gives us some small ground for
hope. Mrs. Hartman says, further,
that the powers of darkness are going TO
pun all together and make one intense,
All around effort to crush out spiritual-
ism and the spiritualists, but that they
can I do it, and after time "all viii be
bright and beautiful.
If half the things this seer predicts
come true, 1895 viii be jolly rough
old year to most of us, and we shall not
lack excitement. On the whole, per-
haps we cannot do better than to take
to ourselves the advice given by one of
the lady's spiritual advisers .Be
courageous and firm. - For ourselves
that is what we are going to do. We
shall stand firm as rock and not be
afraid of lions unless they get away
from circus and are running about at
large.-A. p. A.
