GOING TO WARN THE
WORLD OF IT'S DOOM
Evangelist Cuddy Prepares
for a Trip Abroad.
Willow Tree Alley About to Lose
Its Famous Prophet.
A Farewell Sermon in the Open Air
Itinerary of the Familiar
Gospel Wagon.

W. a. Cuddy, prophet evangelist, and
founder of the far-famed Willow Tree
Alley Mission. will leave Washington this
week for a trip around the world in bis
gospel wagon. Cuddy will be remembered
as the occupant of a black wagon which
bore upon its sides weird warnings of the
wrath TO come and announced that the
nation was committing suicide by taking
rum and Ingersoll.'' The wagon was
wont 10 occupy street corners and vacant
spaces while Mr.. Cuddy preached and ex-
hibited charts explaining the Book OF
Daniel.
Evangelist Cuddy has prophesied that
the world will surely come to an end in
the twentieth century. and has sent forth
a prophetic alarm which contains the
forecast. Having warned the Capital OF
this nation he has decided to visit the
capitals of all of the European nations
and sound the dread news to the kings
and rulers.
Mr.. Cuddy held farewell meeting yes
terday afternoon on Market Space and for
the last time in many years again ad-
dressed good sized assemblage and ex-
planned the charts. He was assisted by
several other outdoor eyangelists. The
meeting was of the same character as
| will be held in the European capitals and
the prophet will endeavor to prepare the
peoples for the inevitable doom.

second chapter of the Book of Daniel and
the ten horns described in Revelations.

says Mr.. Cuddy. THE twenty-thr Gov
ernments now within the boundary of the
ancient Roman Empire will be reduced
tc ten to fulfil the signs in Daniel and
Revelations. The ten new Governments
will rally under false Messiah, who is
to come to restore the Jews to Jerusalem,
destroy the city OF Rome, and overthrow
America. The career of the false Messiah
and the false millennium will be ended
by the appearance of Jesus Christ and all
of his angels in the skies. when all of
his true followers will be caught up TO
meet him.
THE complete destruction of all nations
will rapidly follow, and the world will
come to an end. All of these things will
surely come to pass in the twentieth cen
tury and are predicted by me as the
mouthpiece Of Jesus Christ

showing the downfall of France and the
end OF the world. He will also preach in
London, Brussels, Berlin, Madrid, St
Petersburg, and other capitals.
Copies of the Prophetic Alarm" will be
left in the public libraries OF every city
through which the prophet passes. so that
all may have due warning. Mr.. Cuddy
will make the trip without the assistance
of any church or society. and will depend
largely upon the generosity of the people
for his support. The evangelist has done
much good while in this city and his five
cent lodginghouse in Willow Tree Alley
has sheltered hundreds of homeless men.
