GLIMPSE INTO FUTURE.
Some Predictions of a Prophet
Who Has Previously
Hit the Mark.

over IOftN years ago all olu ocTHdi
hermit published in Bavarian paper
a curious prophecy. In it he foretOld
the Austro-Russian and Franco-Russian
wars, the death of Pope Plus and the
Turko Russian debate at arms. He
said that Germany would have three
emperors in one year before the end of
the century, and indicated the death OF
two United States presidents by ASSN
alton. All these things have come to
pass. In the same article he said that
when the 20th century opens great
seismic disturbances will cause the
submersion of New York city and the
western half of the city of Havana.
Cuba is to break in two, while Florida
and Lower California are to suffer total
extinction.
The shock of these earthquakes will
raze buildings to the ground in almost
every city on the continent: millions Of
lives and billions of dollars worth of
property will be lost
There is to be a change in economic
conditions of almost every civilized
nation. He foretells the growth OF a
democratic spirit in England, which
will result in II revolution that will
overthrow the present form OF govern
ment and make the government re-
public. He says the last ruler of Eng
lane will be the best the country ever
had, and the first president OF the new
nation will be one of the royal family.
Queen Victoria is by long odds the
best ruler England has ever had, and
in a recent speech the Prince of Wales
said it was his desire to live to see
England a republic. According to the
hermit, Russia, France and Italy will
form into an alliance and will enter
into war with Turkey. This war is to
be the outgrowth of Turkish persecu-
ton of Christian subjects. The triple
alliance will conquer the domain of the
sick man of the East. AT the eXpira
ton of the war complications will arise
which will plunge Italy and France
into war with Russia. The result will
be the two countries will be gobbled
up by the northern power and will
cease to exist as independent nations.
While war is being waged between
them the Pope will remove the seat of
Catholicism from Rome to some town
in Southern Ireland.
A rebellion will take place in the
land of the shamrock, in which the
country will become Independent of
England. Then Il conflict will arise
between the ultra-Catholics of the
south of Ireland and the ultra-Protest-
ants of the north, in which the south
erns will be the victors. A kingdom
will be established and it is predicted
that the reign of the first potentatc
will become historic for its tyranny.
The prophet paints dark future for
the United States. lie says at the
close of the century a feeling of unrest
will seize the people. This feeling
will be the outgrowth of unequal
social and economic conditions. He
predicts that the twenty-tifth president
will be the last executive head of the
United States. During his admins
tration the disconnected masses will
break into open rebellion, and the
established form of government Will he
rent asunder. and for IL year or more
anarchy will prevail. When order
shall be brought out of chaos, six re-
publics will be formed, with capitals
at the following cities: San Francisco,
Denver, New Orleans, St. Louis, Wash
incton and Boston. N. y. Mercury.
