DIRE PREDICTIONS.
What PhrOphetic AlmUnncs of Eng
lind Forecast for IS!lS.

London, Oct. 16. - Advance sheets
have been issued to the press of Fad
kiel's, "Old Moore's" and other pro-
phetic almanacs that for over a cen
fury have yearly protested to forecast
the most important events to happen
in the world during the ensuing IL
months. Many of these forecasts, which
are claimed to be based on astrological
signs, have from time to time been
realized, and it is a notable fact that
last year "Old Moore's" forecasted to
the very month the terrible fire in the
charity bazaar in Paris. According to
the advance sheets "Old Moore" proph-
ecies for 1898 terrible civil war in the
United States, the death of the car OF
Russia and the successful kidnapping OF
the young king of Spain. 1t is also fore
casted that during or about the second
week of November, 1898, communica-
ton will be established between this
world and the planet Mars.

A GALL TO LABOR.
American Federation Convention I
Meet in Nashville December H.

American Federation Convention TO
Meet in Nashville December 13.
Washington, Oct. 20.-President Sam
uel Gompers, by Frank Morrison, Sec
rotary, has issued call to all affiliated
unions for the seventeenth annual con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor, to be held at Nashville, Tenn,
In the hall of the house of representa-
tives at ten o'clock Monday morning,
December 10 next. The session is to
continue until all of the business Of
the convention shall have been COM
Pleted. Resolutions of any character
or propositions for changes in the con-
stitution intended for consideration by
the convention must be submitted to
the secretary at least two weeks prior
to the meeting. The committee on Gre
dentials will meet at Nashville three
days previous to the opening of the
convention. The call makes a strong
plea for full attendance of working
men at this convention, and states that
no convention in recent years has been
called upon to deal with more momen-
tous questions than confront the work
ers of to-day. Owing to distance, the
expense of attendance may be some
what greater than usual, and owing
TO the severe drains that affiliated or
CARNATIONS have sustained in recent
years, there may be desire to husband
resources and refrain from being pres
ent, but this is said to be mistaken
economy, and organizations are earnest
ly warned against it. The objects cs
the convention are, in part, thus set
out in the call:
The seventies of the industrial stagna-
ton of the past four years have not yet
been abated; the wrongs from which the
workers suffer have not been righted; the
injustice imposed upon our people re-
main unremedled; the overworked large
mass and the unemployed many, are still
testimony to the folly of our age: the en-
ployment of children in our factories and
workshops. though modified, fingers with
US still, and the spectacle Is witnessed Of
idle men and laborlously busy children: leg
islatures more concerned with the priv
ileges to the few than to the rights of the
many; with public assemblage and free
speech invaded. threatened or forbidden,
and the modern judicial weapon of injunc-
ton utilized in the effort to crush labor.
These rights and wrongs and others of
equal Importance, but too numerous for
reference here, must of necessity be con-
sidered by the forthcoming convention,
and such action devised as shall tend to
attain the one and set aside the other.

nection with the affair long before you

looking up eagerly,

"And you wished me to be your wife,

We sat there long time in silence,
What need Of words! The calm and
peaceful night seemed benediction.
The stars above twinkled, but not one
of them shone with the resplendency
which beamed from the eyes of my be-
loved wife.

the leaders were requested to sound their
followers rs to the availability of Delos

Leader Sheehan is now convinced that
it would Re unwise to nominate n mono

for the reason that all the reports receiv-

that the rank and file of Tammany Hall
will not tolerate policy which smothers

Mr.. Sheehan. it was declared, is now
hunting n candidate for mayor WHIP will

proposition is to nominate such a man
and insist for him that he voted for BRYAN
last year, and then Quit, saving nothing
about the Chicago national platform of
1896.
Judge Palker's nomination by the gold
Democrats was not unanimous one, for
there were speeches made and several
votes cast in opposition
Most of the opposition came from
upper country members, who did not like
Judge Parker's letter to Chairman Elliott

voted for Bryan last year. Their objec-
tions wereo verridden by the members of

Sharp Criticism on the Eastern
Policy of Europe.

London, Sept. 23.--The Chronicle pub
fishes an extract from II letter written by
MI. Gladstone, under date of yesterday
In it MIR. Gladstone says:
"The pain, shame and mischief--ot the
last two years in the eastern policy trans
cend entirely the powers of any language
1 could.use concerning them. The stu
alton is this:
"Firstly, hundred thousand Armen-
ians have been slaughtered, with no Sc
curity against II repetition, and with
greater profit to the assassins.
Secondly, Turkey is stronger than at
any time since the Crimean war.
Thirdly, Greece is weaker than at any
time since she became kingdom.
"Fourthly, all this is due to the Euro
pean concert, that is, the mutual hatred
and distrust of the powers.

done almost every night since its open
inc. He was accompanied by q number uf
ms boy friends, and ti,ey proceeded 10 have
a good time.
After inspecting the different attractions
the bovs stopped at the shooting gallery,
in charge Of William Duffen. and tried
their skill, but theE were poor markSmeu
Max quietly slipped back Of the targe;
and when one Of the boys shot he pulled
a string that made the bell of the bulls

their companion on his mark Smanship

bell rang. Three times in succession he
hit the bull : eye. as he thought, when the
keeper Of the gallery began to suspect that
something was not right He inveSti igatetl

unknown to Duffen. A boy about sew

in the excitement, took up a rifle and
fired. There was a groanand heavy fall.
Several persons rushed back OF the target
and there they found Max lying uncon-
scious, with the blood pouring from
tiny hole in the left temple. He was
taken to a hospital, where little hopes
for lis recovery We're given.
