WORDS OF WARNING.

"CINlo VI w AMIN
Watch out for an epidemic of evil do
ings that will run riot throughout
America and the old country.
Dark storm clouds will follow close
upon the heels of bright sunny days,
and high gales will whistle the accom-
paniment.
Earthquakes and tidal waves will do
untold damage, especially in the old
country.
Thunder showers and white lightning
will appear in some localities.
More waterspouts will be seen on the
Great Lakes and on the seas, and hur-
ricanes will sweep the coasts.
The magnetic currents are still run
ming southwark, and when they. re-
verse an awful destructive storm VIII
sweep over this country.
A sudden return of the magnetic cur
rents will produce a tidal wave or an
earthquake.
Sudden changes in the weather will
produce new epidemics this month.
Watch your cattle and swine, as an
army of strange disease microbes are
now abroad in the land.
STRANGE PHENOMENA.
The strange phenomenons that we
predicted for last month all came as
predicted, even to the reversing Of the
magnetic currents, which caused the
most magnificent display of magnetic
waves ever seen in the heavens. This
month there will be another display.
and green lightning will appear in less
than ten days thereafter The cause of
this strange phenomena will be fully
explained some time in the near future.
The fulfilling of our predictions is suf-
fcient evidence, we think, to assure
you that our new theory of science and
astronomy will be well worth your
greatest attention. The bright star
that we made special mention of in our
last months forecast has appeared in
the golden west, and in a few weeks
more will shine out like great electric
light suspended from the heavens, and
by it's bright rays we shall write the
book that will make astronomy palmer
science clearer, the planets smaller and
Heaven nearer.

Earth is now passing through the
House of Honor" and opposed by the
House OF the Grave" which will cause
America to be courageous and Spain to
be treacherous. Mars, being now In the
sign Aquarius, will make America
rash and headstrong, with love for
argument and revolution, and will
make Spain crafty, cautious and polite.
The position of the planets this month
indicates that great evil will be abroad

THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
Our predictions last month that
March would turn into a spring month
and give us a great surprise; that q
new comet would come in reach of the
great telescopes; and that cyclones
blizzards and floods would sweep the
western states, etc, were all fulfilled
This month another comet will be
sighted, and there will be one or two
breaks in the gaseous matter passing
over the sun that will cause terrible
storms, destructive floods, snow block
AIDES, fierce hail storms, cyclones, hur-
rlcanes and tidal waves, awful cleo
trical displays and tremendous thunder
vibrations. The cold waves and the
heat waves will pursue each other in
battle array, and make the month like
both December and May. Watch out
for three beautiful sunset scenes, and
two strange appearing circles around
the moon that will cause it's rays to
appear in all the colors of the rainbow,
and black snow will fall in some local
tiles.

MANY PEOPLE BUYING LOTS.
More Activity in Real Estate Than
since 1893.

Those who are interested in real
estate, both buyers and sellers, say
that there is a better feeling than has
been known since 1898. The number Of
new residences built since that year show
that the demand for homes has been
steady and Increasing.
There is not a desirable house suitable
for people of moderate means built that
is not rented before it is ready for occu-
pancy A gentleman who is a trustee for
one of the largest estates in this city
said yesterday that there was not a sin
gle house belonging to the estate vacant
while year ago there were a dozen.
A real estate dealer stated yesterday
that he had already sold more lots this
year than he did all of last year, and
there is a greater range to select from
than heretofore. There is consdera BILE
business in the line of investments for
the future. Lots are being sold now for
500 to $500 in the newer parts of the city
that will bring 1000 to 5000 in three or
four years.
There is, however, an absence of outside
investors, such as one sees in South Geor-
gla and Florida cities and towns, parties
from the North, East and West, who build
winter houses. An effort is now being
made to attract that class of buyers to
Savannah and Chatham county, which Of
fers so many advantages in the way Of
locations and other inducements for in
Vestment. The initiatory step in that direc-
ton is the Western excursion, which is
coming here in April, 1t is a movement
The good results of which will be far
reaching, as it will attract the attention
of many who may not be with the first
party but who will be the cause of other
excursions being gotten up. However.
this is merely mentioned in connection
with the reports that are coming in from
those who are in the business that there
is a decided Improvement in Savannah
real estate.

Don't let the government pay all atten-
ton to the forts and rivers and none to
yourself. Remember if war comes it should
find men up to the mark-men equal to the
great task of protecting Savannah and
Georgia from capture by the men of
Spain. There is only one way of provid-
ing for this and that is by going at once to
Hallgan's and refreshing yourself with the
good things of this life. No matter how
you live at home, go to Halligan's and get
nice meal, ordering just what you want.
You will be delighted with the elegance OF
his service and the superiority of the food
and cooking Halligan is open all the time,
day and night, and he can serve you at
any hour. After the theater go down TO
Halligan's and have a treat. Take your girl
along and some other friends and spend an
hour or so. The cost will not be great-but
the pleasure to you and your guests will
be something worth having.-ad

LADY BICYCLIsTS.
savannah Leads the state.

How many lady wheel riders are
there in Savannah? was asked of
a bicycle sharp yesterday. Goodness
knows" he replied rather vague
ly. There's lot of 'em though
and it can be safely said that Savannah
leads the State easily in wheelswomen."
What do you thing of costumes or skirts
for ladies?" was the next question DE
cidedly sensible" was the prompt reply;
especially some costumes. The most be-
coming and stylish bicycle dresses for la
dies" continued the interviewed one, "are
those supplied by Levy & Bro, who, by
the way, seem to have a natural knack for
doing the right thing in the right way and
always better than anyone else My sis
ter remarked only yesterday, that Levy's
have the largest and most attractive lines
of cycling garments and supplies in Sa-
vannah and that their prices, as in every
other of their lines, simply rattle and
snow under all attempted rivalry" The
ladies are invited to call and confirm the
last statement-ad.
