THE WORLDS 5}}TH END.
IT is DUE TOMORROW AND THE APOSTOLIC
CONGREGATION WILL BE IN UNION
SQUARE TO GREET IT.


The announcement made in yesterday mornings
Tribune that the world is coming to another end
morrow will give rise TO query as TO how
many ends the world can have BY actual count
made by an expert to the ends OF the world this
terrestrial globe has already come 10 543 ends The
5iih Is due tomorrow. This is so because Mr.
Sutzke says Sc. Not only does Mr.. Stutzke say 80.
but William Redwood says 80 as we'll. Until recently
Redwood was a life-insurance solicitor But the life
insurance business was dull and so Redwood went into
the prophecy business the side Just how prophecy
helps the lifensurance business however Is not ap-
parent. for If everybody is going to migrate. what is
the use of insuring ones self? Still. Redwood is a
prophet
Stutzke, Redwood & Co. somewhat In this
line: General Grant died July 23 1885. The next
after that 1856 and six later Grover Cleve-
land elected President of these United States.
When 1t is considered, too. that the very next year
after this was the year OF the Worlds Fair that in
1894 Coxey's Army advanced on Washington. and that
on August 2S 1896 Ii Hung Chang entered NewYork
Harbor 1t be evident the most preJudiced and
unwilling mind that the end Of the world is just about
due Tomorrow morning. Further evidence from the
of events is found in the fact that Mrs. Fem
ing acquitted on June a. 1896. and that on July
10. William Jennings Bryan named as the high
priest of Popocracy and Repudiation
Wherefore the Christian Apostolic Congregation.
which ordin riy at No. 1d East Fifty-fourth-
St. will tomorrow morning vary its programme and
assemble In Union Square TO the number or about
hundred and wait till the clouds roll by.
Stutzke and Redwood have been for some time In
an ecstatic condition common to atter-day prophets
and members OF the Society for the Annhilation OF
Prohibition. But some OF their followers have been
giving them little trouble by asking foolish ques-
tons. They wanted to know If their children would
ne taken with them when they ascend from Union
Square To this Redwood replied that they
could look after their own children-he had troubles
ercuCh of his own. Then they wanted TO know how
far they would have to fly and whether they would
get tired Stutzke answered that there was no flying
about Il. They uld just 20 up-that was all. The
prophets kept their tempers admirably considering
the stupidity of these questions but when one dew
oiee inquired with rapt expression whether the po-
Ice would let them go dp, Redwood threw up botn
hands and declared that he had no time to bother with
worldly matters.
