STRANGE THINGS TOLD BY
 HOROSCOPE
Many Changes in Laws, Customs, Policies, Treaties and Religlons of Land Predicted by st
 Louis Man.

President Roosevelt. says The Wash ington Evening Times, has had his horo- scope cast Julius Erickson or St. Lotus did it, with much pleasure apparently and without having been previously re- Quested to do so by anyone. Horoscopes seem to be the ruling passion with number of St, Louis people just at the present time. The adept In the mystic art of stellar lore read the message in the stars when the President took the oath Of office. MT. Erickson is serious about 1t, and had the whole business copyright ed in the ofnce of the Congressional Li- brary, and deposited two copies with this institution, as the law pFescri6es. The President was also made the rscips" ent of his prognosticatton, but whether he will be guided by 1t he has not yet announced. Here are some of the most important points in tn wiseacre's predic- tions:
 "By a singular and most remarkable coincidence, the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius were rising at the moment Mr. Roosevelt became President. Saturn Is chief ruler, with Uranus co-ruler. How ever, will make most of my deductions from saturn. as he Is doubtless ruler. According to the rules of ancient astroi- ogists, this signifies that many altera- tions, amendments or changes tn the ions, etc., of the land shall occur. Our enemies shall be confonnded, and the maIchless, irresistible march of Ameri- can supremacy will meet most wonderful impetus. Vast political problems, the like of which we do not dream of today, will present themselves for solution dur ing his occupancy of the White House.
 He will prove himself a most consum- mate statesman, clever politician and wise ruler. The President will be entiTe- ly successful in all matters of interna- tlonal importance.

 ''In Congress there will be great liabil- tty of unusual opposition. There will be many bitter disputes and some upusual There are also some aspects denoting 2 remarkable recrudescence of crime and outrages against the public peace and welfare; also plots, schemes, intrigues and fulminations against the Government from unfriendly sources may be looked for;
 lamity will befall some school, eleemoS' ynary or reformatory establishment ir which the general Government has some direct interest; 1t may be a training school of some sort. The same aspect also portends the death of some very In tImate friend, relative or Cabinet ofti' cial, probably the latter; this death wil occur through accident or violence.
 "A new epoch will be ushered in ir 1902; in these changes the President wiI prove a remarkable figure, for he will bt very victorious in most things. Al classes may look forward to a period oi material prosperity some years to come Etill I bid speculators beware-a crash il surely coming and securities will certain Sy drop to rock-bottom.
