AN ASTROLOGER PREDICTS.
An Attempt TO Assassinate Mckinley
and Many strikes I'm the Near
MT

To President Mckinley:
Your wife will live, but guard YOUR
self against assassins during June
That is the telegram which Astrolo
gist Gustave Meyer sent President
Mckinley.
Meyer who is only % years old, has
developed remarkable talents IN astrol-
ogy. He claims to be the youngest
successful astrologist in the world
He gives to the Evening Journal
his predictions for the next few
months.
In erecting the horoscope of Mr.
Mckinley. which resulted in my
sending him the above telegram,
predict that owing to the fact that
the evil planet, Saturn, is retrograd-
ing at the present time in Mr.. Nc
Klnley's second house, or mansion of
the heavens, which, according to
astrology is his wifes eight house.

great danger of her passing away by
next April, when Saturn will go direct
again and pass over its own place in
the second house (the house in. the
heavens, indicating Mrs. Mckinley s
death.
The imminent attempt on the life
of President Mckinley in June is due
to the evil planet Uranus, which is
in the tenth mansion of the heavens,
indicating trouble for the Govern
ment and its ruler.
l also predict that the time is ripe
for strikes in all trades between now
and the month of August 1901, which
will result in complete victory for
the strikers.
The diagram of the new moon for
the month of June predicts for the
people of the United States great
strikes. much bloodshed, loss of life
and many riots.

1t was intimated, if not
changed during the campaign,
that crookedness existed in the
corporation finances. Now that
the election is over, let the
books be examined and the re.
suit published so that all may
know the towns exact condi-
ton. If no wrong exists say so.
If the peoples money has been
improperly applied let the guilty
suffer the penalties of the law.
The charges made against the
Mayor are not of a light and
frivilous character, and he
should at once insist on a
thorough and full investigation
being made.

WEST VIRGINIA LEADS.

The State of West Virginia is now
first in the production of oil. Russia
has been close competitor of h is
country for years in the number of
gallons of oil produced, though it is
probable that the. recent discoveries in
the United States will enable it to
continue to lead IN the number of
gallons produced. Much is added to
the value of American oil AZ a COM
mercial product by the fact that our
oil produces nearly twice as much
refined illuminating oil from given
quantity of crude as from the Rus
sian oil. One especially interesting
feature Of the development of the OF
industry is, that there has been a re
markah'e decrease in the price to the
consumer during the period i'll which
the actual expectations and the net
value of the exports have been increas-
ing.

South Carolina for several
months will be the seat Of poll
teal action.
The resignation of Senators
Tillman and McLaurin, and
their determination to have the
voters of their state pass upon
the issues each represents will
bring humanity before the
country, the position of the
southern people on the question
developed by the war with
Spain.
Senator Tillman is of the old
school of thought, holding to
the predjudices engendered by
the civil war advocating the
old and exploded theories which
have held the south back in the
march of commercial progress
by constantly appealing to the
passions and memories of the
past, which have held the south
bound to democracy with all
its antiquated teachings, while
on the other hand Senator Nc
Laurin has dared to espouse the
principles as advocated by
President Mckinley in the de-
velopment of the nations COM
merce not only at home, but al
so with reference to the policies
contemplated for the develop
ment of the new territory lately
acquired.
The actions Of these senators
are to be commended and it is
to be hoped that the issue raised
and to be determined by the
election will be discussed in an
intelligent way, so that a fair
and full expression can be had
on the question now for the first
time brought squarely home to
south ern voters for determine
ton.

The Nation must guard against
warlike movements on the part of her
foreign friends, who will prove false.
There WILDE many tie-ups on the
railroads throughout the country, and
there will also be trouble in our pos

by rail will be very unsafe, but ocean
travel will be quite free from trou-
BILE.
There will be any amount of divor-
ces IN June, the courts will be over
crowded with martial cases and
scandals in high lie.

city, and Miss Florence Koehler, of
Hagerstown, with Miss Myra Cline, of
this city as accompanies, under. the
auspices of the Wednesday Afternoon
Club at the home of Mrs. ]. W. Nc
Sherry Tuesday night, was one of the
most enjoyable events of the kind
ever held in this city. The narlor
was beautifully decorated with roses
and variety of the blooms of spring
time, while candles set in beautiful
candelabra spread soft light over the
room. The audience was simply car
ried away with the playing of Miss
Matthaei and the singing of Miss
Koehler, both of whom had to re-
spond to numerous encores.
The music was a rare treat to the
music loving people who were pres
ent. The musicale was attended by
the elite of thel city, most of whom
were in evening dress.

Manning Secures Fine Location Out
on the Columbia Line.
ENTRIES FOR Big SPRING HANDICAPS
Fine Horses Will Run for the
Money at Benning.
GOLF AND CHESS NOTES

After a hustle for the past six weeks,
Manager James II. Manning, last evening
at clock, closed a lease for ball park
to be the home of the Washington American
League team. The grounds are located on
Florida avenue, between 18th and 14th
streets northeast near the city terminus
of the Columbia railway. The track of land
belongs to the Washington Brick Machine
Company. and is 800 by 400 feet in dimen-
sions The property was formerly used for
manufacturing brick, but has been idle for
many months.
Manager Manning has had his eye on this
piece of land for some time, but ne mao
set his heart on the old circus lot ana
worked necessarily toward acquiring that
property. But he was blocked at almost
every turn through protests from surround
ing property holders and in securing land
enough upon which to erect stands and lay out
the playing field. Last Monday he came TO
the conclusion that he would have to go to
the suburbs with his club, and Immediately
opened negotiations with the brick COM
pany, which were brought to a satisfactory
conclusion last evening.
There is an immense hole out In right
field, fully fifty feet deep, but the company
has guaranteed to have it all filled in by
April /. The work on the field Will De
started not later than next Tuesday, ana
1t IS DeleNeu tnat lie erection VI thC S'"IiuS
will begin the week following. BY cons der
able hustlng it is thought the park will be
ready for occupancy by the first OF April,
plenty of time for the spring practice
games, should the weather permit.
Washington patrons of base ball have be-
come accustomed to reaching the park IN
ten minutes time but at the OUTSIDE
the new grounds can be arrived at, from
any part of town, inside of twenty-five
minutes This is good time compared with
other cities, and the local fans Will
doubtless soon get used to giving up the
fifteen extra minutes to travel. Those To-
Gated near the New York avenue line Will
be able to go to the new grounds IN apout
the same time it took them to reach old
