DOOMSDAY AT HAND.
Astrologers Have Announced the
End Of the World.
Prophecies of the Past That Have
Caused Great Terror to the Be-
levers of Certain ReH-
Gious Creeds.

Several prophets OF the astrological
order have announced the coming of
the millennium during the year 1897.
Their prophecies are based upon un-
usual events in the planetary system,
but to the lay mind these adroitly ad-
duced reasons seem feeble causes for
such momentous upheaval. To
present these reasons is not the
object of this article, but to de-
scribe the panics caused in ruder
ages of the worlds history by similar
announcementsof the comingof dooms-
day.
In olden times the dread caused by a
millennium prophet was worldwide,
affecting the rich and the educated
as well as the poor and the ignorant.
Nowadays the audience of the dooms-
day terror is very limited, comprising
the very ignorant, whose minds have
been perverted by fantastic religious
notions.
This was demonstrated most pc
culiarly in Atlanta, Ga, some three
Years ago, when a negro evangelist, g-
norant but eloquent, announced that
the godly would be transplanted to
Heaven at a certain hour in the after
noon of certain day. For weeks be-
fore the date set for this phenomenon
he went among the poorer negroes ex-
horting them to prepare for the celes-
tial flight.
Hundreds of his followers were
worked up to a state of TREMENDOUS
enthrbiasrn and displayed implicit
faith Gin the truth of the prophecy.
They went among their less godly rel
atives giving away all of their house
hold effects and clothing. The few who
had accumulated savings gave these
away, too.
On the day the great event was to oc
cur they mounted to the roofs of their
shanties and cabins in obedience to the
commands of the eXhorter, who had in
formed them that the angel could see
them more easily and get them to Heav
en- quicker.
Although the fight was not to take
place until two o'clock in the afternoon
ell Of them were up on the roofs before
daylight. They waited there patiently
in the heat of the broiling sun, anxious
but confident.
Two o'clock passed, but the angels
came not. One of the negroes, who had
become frenzied with excitement, made
a leap into the air as the bells of near
by church tolled out the hour. He ex-
pected to be Vafted to Heaven, but he
fell into the yard around his house and
broke his leg. When the ambulance
came to take him TO the hospital he
fought THE doctors, explaining that the
angels would come and not find him.
The others waited and waited, some
of them until midnight. Then they be-
came sleepy and hungry aud began to
lose faith. First one and then another
climbed down and the exhorter disap-
peared. The next day there was tire
mendous excitement among the kin
dred of the god1y ones. The latter
went about demanding the return of
household effects, clothing and money.
Most of the recipients refused to return
the treasures, and the civil courts were
soon filled to overfowing with litiga-
ton. Thus ended the prophesied flight
