The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-24
scHLArTeR's PREDICTION

The Spy has an inquiry from Penn
sylvania yesterday about an interview
that appeared in April 6, 1899 with
Schlatter, the healer. The readers of
The Spy may remember that his por-
trait was published in an interview in
which he predicted the death of Vice
President Hobart and the succession to
the presidency Of Theodore Roosevelt
The report in Pennsylvania about
this interview evidently was to the eff
feet that he had given the exact date
of the assassination of Mckinley.
It required no great gift of prophecy
for this fakir to fortell of Vice Presi-
dent Hobart's death or to risk the pre-
diction that Roosevelt would be presi-
dent Many others believed before 1899
that Gov. Roosevelt was a coming man.

WHY FAMINEs OCCUR

There is famine in Russia. Can we
American realize the meaning of
the word? We have failures of
crops that occasionally impoverish Sec
lions like Kansas and burden the
farmers with mortgages, but we never
had and probably never. shall have a
famine in the United States.
To guard against this primitive
curse of humanity a nation must have
varied industries and varied agricul-
ture. Education and civilization ought
to remove the curse of famine and
plague from the face of the earth.
It is said that the Red Cross society
is receiving practically no support
from the Russian government, which
treats it as any government institu-
ton. and it's subsidies and other sourc-
es of income appear to be far from suf-
ficient ..-
