A CURIOUS PROPHECY.
Predicts a Dark Future for the American
Republic

Predicts a Dark Future for the American
Republic.
Over 20 years ago anOld German her
nit published in BaYarian paper a
curious prophecy. La it he foretold the
Austrian, Russian, and the Franco
Prussian wars, the death Of Pope Plus
and the Turco-Russian debate at arms.
He said that Germany would have three
emperors in one year before the end Of
the century and indicated the death of
two United States presidents by assas-
sination. All these things have come
to pass.
In the same article he said that when
the twentieth century opens great seis-
mic disturbances viii take place which
will cause the submersion Of New York
city aud the western half of the city of
Havana. Cuba is to break in two,
while Florida and Southern California
are to suffer total extinction. The
shock of these disturbances will raze
buildings to the ground in almost every
city in the continent. Millions of lives
and millions of dollars worth of prop
erty viii be lost.
There is to be a change in the encoBO-
mic conditions of almost every civilized
nation. He foretells the growth OF a
democratic spirit in England which
will result in a revolution that will
overthrow the present form of govern
ment and make the country a republic,
He says the last ruler of England will
be the best the country ever had, and
the first president Of the new nation
will be one of the royal family.
Queen Victoria is by long odds the
best ruler England ever had, and in a
recent speech the Prince Of Wales said
it was his desire to live to see England
a republic.
According to the hermit, Russia and
Italy and France will form an alliance
and will enter into war with Turkey
This war is to be the outgrowth of Turk
ish prosecutions of Christian subjects
This triple alliance viii conquer the
domain Of the sick man Of the east and
at the expiration Of the war, compiled
lions will arise which will plunge Italy
and France into war with Russia. The
result will be that the two countries
will be gobbled up by the northern
power and viii cease to exist as indie.
pendent nations. While war Is being
waged between them the pope viii move
the seat of Catholicism from Rome to
some town in southern Ireland. a re-
bellioH will take place in the land of
the shamrock, in which the country
will become independent of England
Then a conflict will arise between the
ultra Catholics of the south of Ireland
and the ultra PFoteStants of the north
in which the sutherns will be the vic
tors. A kingdom will be established,
and it is predicted that the reign of the
first pOtentate will become historic for
its tyranny.
The prophet paints dark future for
the United States. tie says at the close
of the century a feeling of unrest will
seize the people. This feeling will be
the result of unequal economic cOndi-
tons. He predicts that the tweuty-ffth
president will be the last executive
head of the United States. During this
administration the disconnected masses
will break into open rebellion and the
established form of government will be
overthrow. The United States will be
rent asunder and for a year or more
anarchy will prevail. When order shall
be brought out of chaos, six republics
will be formed with capitals at the fol
lowing cities: San Francisco, Denver,
New Orleans, st. Louis, Washington
and Boston.
