Some Predictions by Prophet Who Has
Previously Hit the Mark.
Over 40 years ago an old German
hermit published in a Bavarlan paper
a curious prophecy. In it he foretold
the Austro- Russian and Franco-Rus-
sian wars, the death of Pope Plus and
the Turleo-R 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-
Fination.t all these things have come
to pass. In the same article he said
that when the goth century opens great
seismic disturbances viii take place,
which will cause the submersion Of
New York city and the western half
OF the city of Havana. Cuba Is to
break in two, while Florida and Lower
California arc to suffer total extinction.
The shock of these earthquakes will
raze buildings to the ground in almost
every city on the continent; millions
of lives and billions worth of property
will be lost tNt
There is to be change In economic
conditions of almost every civilized ma
tion. Ilc foretells the growth of a
democratic spirit in England, which
will result In a revolution that win
overthrow the present form of govern
ment and make the country 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 tho
best ruler England has ever had, and in
recent speech the prince Of Wales
said 1t is his desire to live TO see Eng
land republic. According to the her
init, Russia, France and Italy will form
an alliance, and will enter into war
with Turkey. This war Is to be the
outgrowth OF Turkish persecution OF
Christian subjects. The triple alli
ance will conquer the domain of the
sick man of the east At the expira-
ton of the war complications will arise
which will plunge Italy and France
into war with Russia The result will
be that the two countries will be COB.
bled up by the northern power and will
cease to exist as independent nations.
While the war Is being waged between
them the pope will move the seat OF
Catholicism from Rome to some town
In southern Ireland. ...
A rebellion will take place in the
land Of the shamrock, in which the
country will become independent of
England. Then conflict will arise
between the ultra-Catholics of the
south of Ireland and the ultra-Prot-
estants of the north, in which the south
erners will be the victors. A kingdom
will be established, and it is predicted
that the reign Of the first potentate
will become historic TOR Its tyranny.
The prophet paints dark future for
the United States. He says at the close
of the century a feeling of unrest will
seize the people. This feeling will be
the outgrowth of unequal social and
economic conditions. He predicts that
the 25th president will be the last ex-
ecutiye head of the United States. Dur
ing his administration the disconnected
masses will break into open rebellion,
and the established form of govern
ment 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 following cities: San
Francisco, Denver, New Orleans, St.
Louis, Washington and Boston.-N. Y.
