Some Predictions by a Prophet Who Haa
Previously Hit the Mark.
Over 10 years ago an old German
hermit published in Il Bavarlan paper
a curious prophecy. III it he forAtold
the Austro-RHssiar and Franco-Rus-
sian war; the death of Pope Plus and
the Turko-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 10th century open ms great
seismic disturbances will take place.
which will aus 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 are 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

conditions of almost every civilized ma
ton. He loretells the growth of a
democratic spirit in England, which
will result hi a revolution that will
overthrow the present form of govern
ment and make the country a republic.
He says the last ruler of England viii
be the best the country ever had, and
tho frCt nracs1n-r 80 A. Z
will be n of the royal family.
Queen Victoria is by long odds the
best ruler England has ever had, and in
a recent speech the prince of Wales
said it is his desire to live t. see Eng
land a republic. According to the her
|mit, Russia, France and Italy will form
fn alliance, and will enter into wa-
With Turkey. This war is to be the
kutgrowth of Turkish persecution of
christian subjects. The triple ALI
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.
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 tn.
land of the shamrock, in which the
country will become independent of
England. Then n conflict Will arise
between the ultra-Catholics of the
south of Ireland and the ultra-Prot-
of the north, in which the south
rners will he the ~victors. A kingdom
will be established, and it is predicted
hat the reign of the first p~otentate
will become historic for its tyranny.
The prophet paints 4 dark future fo1
he United States. He says at the Close
If the century a feeling of unrest will
eize the people. This feeling will be
he outgrowth of unequal social and
economic conditions. He predicts that
he 26th president will be the last ex-
head of the United States. Dur ,
ng his administration the dIscontented
will break into open rebellion,

nent will be rent asunder, and for 4 !
