easy to imagine that Hollands SYM
pathy with the beers might be the
first cause of diplomatic complications,
but there is nothing to indicate at
present tina THE policy of Wilhelmina
will result in getting her disliked at
the other courts Of Europe.
"Old Moore's" prophecy OF insurrec-
tions, revolts and strikes in variou"
quarters of the globe was anticipated as
early as Dec. 81, 1899, by a New York
woman named Evangelina Adams.
At that time Miss Adams, for a con.
sideration, cast the horoscope Of
greater New York. She wishes it to
be distinctly understood that she is no
prophet. She's just a plain scientific
person, and she reads the answers to
her questions of the future in the stars.
A year ago the stars told her that in
1901 the passions of men will he
stirred and there will be uprisings
and riots in which blood will be shed I"
Miss Adams also said that 1901 would
be famous for exposures of municipal
fraud in this city and would be noted
for the scourge of disease which
would affect the citizens of New York.
It isn't often that one gets a chance
to square latter-day prophets pre-
dictions with the events as they actu-
ally happen. 1t is possible, however,
to do this in the case of Miss Adams.
She put herself on record, and the
record has been preserved For in
instance, she said that in June and
July Of last year there would be an ep-
idemic of summer diseases greater
than had ever prevailed in New York
before. She added that a scourge of
sickness would pass over the country
and that deaths would be frequent and
terrible.
AS a matter of fact, II is pleasant to
remember that New York wasn't visit
ed by an epidemic of summer disease
in last June and July, and the scourge
of sickness, followed by deaths fire.
quent and terrible didn't pass over
the country. She prophesied that DC.
tober, November and December of
year would be marked by many
strange and appalling events" which
would stir up the minds of the PEG
pie and cause a feeling of unrest and
as to what the future
would bring forth" Except with a
few persons whose digestion was bad,
or who had fingered too long over late
suppers, there was no special feeling
of uncertainty about the morrow dur
ing any of the months mentioned.
Miss Adams made particularly bad
guess when she read in the stars that
the close of last year would be marked
by great celestial phenomenon. SL1
said that the morning of Dec. 2, just
before sunrise, all the planets but one
would be in the sign Sagittarius, form
ing a grand planetary conjunction, a
thing which had not occurred before in
thousands of years. 1t is quite pos
sible that all the planets but one were
in the sisu oI Sagittarius the morning
of Dec. 2, but the fact didn't disturb
anybody and the phenomenon didn't
attract any particular attention.
Whether or not the conjunction of the
planets presaged a war in which all
Europe will become involved as Miss
Adams stated, remains to be seen.
From the present outlook however,
Miss Adams deduction from her star
reading, that great municipal frauds
will be unearthed this year in this
town, stands chance of being borne
out by the facts. With all the puri
fiers at work. something of that sort
ought to happen.
