of her own head to make a series of
prophecies for this year. Some OF her
predictions anybody without occult pow
er could foresee-as, for instance, that
there will be great rowing in congress,
with unusual excitement and discord. "
Unusual excitement in congress has been
the usual thing for so long that we are
we'll 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! If the small
er politicians (and a good many of
them) would follow suit, the country
would have a happy release and a rest
as we'll
Royalties and rulers are going to have
bad time Queen Victoria will be very
i'll and maybe die, and President Cleve-
land will not feel very well himself
The Prince of Wales will have much
trouble, and there will be 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 a little of the kindly heart of
his father, Prince Albert. There will be
two deaths in the British royal family
in 1895, says Mrs Hartman, and in
our own reigning house little Princess
Ruth Cleveland will have an illness
So much for royalties.
Bloated capitalists and millionaires
may look little out, for they will not
have a 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 a hundredfold millionaire never
yet has caused any great excitement in
this country. We are too much accus-
toned to millionaires.
Three great men are to die by vio-
lence and an unusual number of promi-
nert 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 fiercely
than ever, and at the end Of the year
working people will find themselves de-
cidedly better eff than they are now.
Well, they can stand it. Two very in
huential men will be Of great benefit to
the cause of labor. Thousands of men
who read this prophecy will thereupon
ask: Is it |? 1t will be a bad year be-
cause of train robbing and crime, espe-
cially in the west. There will be a
dreadful earthquake or two in the south
| tics in Texas mas anything to do with
these the prophet sayeth not. Besides
the earthquakes the seer tells US there
will be 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 burned at
sea, and there will 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 little easy
and gives us some small ground for hope.
Mrs Hartman says, further, that the
powers Of darkness are going to pull all
together and make one intense, all
around effort to crush out spiritualism
and the spiritualists, but that they can't
do it, and after time ''all will be
bright and beautiful.
If half the things this seer predicts
come true, 1895 will be a jolly rough
old year to most of us, and we shall not
lack excitement. On the whole, perhaps
we cannot do better than to take to our
selves the advice given by one of the
lady's spiritual advisers, "Be courage
Gus and firm. For ourselves that is
what we are going to do. We shall stand
firm as a rock and not be afraid of lions
unless they get away from circus and
are running about at large
