peculiar that in 1901 there should

Curious Prophecies
Strangely Fulfilled

SyRg -7{.3 = - s --S-S8-'--S 4 -
While the great majority of
persons scout the idea that they
are superstitious, there are really
very few who are not in some
way or another believers in signs,
prophecies or divinations. It is
really remarkable that there are
so many people who either by an
ability to see into, the future or
by guess work, it does not mat.
ter which, can foretel events.
In the year 1891 there was an
old negro living at st. Georges,
Granada, who was popularity
supposed by other colored peo-
pie to be wizard. During that
year he wrote to a local newspa-
per a letter which was published
and which advised everybody to
stay from Martinique, as God
had decided to destroy the is
land. A prophecy never came
more true, for since the doom of
lPompeii no locality has suffered
such a horrible fate as that which
overlook Martinique.
The murder Of the king and
queen of Servia was foretold
with exactness, as have been
other tragedies in which Euro
pean royalty has participated.
The terrible death of the air.
ship experimenter, M. Severe, is
still fresh in the public mind. It
will be remembered that he was
killed on the first voyage of his
balloon, La Pax. His end was
foretold in a dream. Severe
dreamed that he was sailing
above a cemetery, when sudden
" the ground opened and innu-
merable dead arms stretched
out to receive him, among them
his mothers. The accident in
which he lost his life actually
took place over one of the large
cemeteries in Paris.
President Carnot, of France,
was warned Of his violent end in
a singular manner. When he
was minister of finance, long be-
fore he even dreamed of being
president, he received a gift
from friend returning from
India, which was curious idol
with which strange supersti-
tion was connected. The legend
was that whoever owned it would
attain supreme power and die by
knife. The idol had belonged to
a dynasty Of native Indian kings,
every one of whom had perished
in the manner of the legend. The
prophecy was again fulfilled in
the case of Carnot. He became
president and was stabbed by an
assassin.
A very peculiar incident is
vohched for by the former head
of the Partisan detective SER
vice. He saw the same ring on
the hands of no fewer than five
corpses brought at various times
to the morgue. He traced out
it's history and discovered that
there was a prophecy that any
person wearing it would come to
a violent end. Once a year for a
long Tune cOrpSeS came to the
morgue wearing this ring. Final
ly it was found on the finger of
Count Zbrowski, who was killed
in a motor accident at Nice last
year, and it has been placed
where it will never be worn
again.
a gypsy foretold the present
magnificent estate of the Duchess
of Portland and the duchess sent
her a magnificent satin gown
when the prophecy was fulfilled.
The record murderess Of all
time was the Sicjlian woman
known as La Tofania, who pois-
oned from 500 to 1000 persons
with solution Of arsenic. Be
fore this woman was executed,
200 years ago, she wrote this
prophecy: In the year 1901

TWILIGHT GAME.
Quill Drivers VS.. counter.Jumpers to

Much interest in amateur baseball
circles Is centered on the twilight
game to be played at the Fair Grounds
tomorrow between Hartley's team
and that OF the Coal Company's.
This will be the second game In the
y. NJ. G. A. city league, and both
teams are furnishing strong lineup.
While Hartley's have not such large
field TO pick from they claim better
organization and more practice than
the Coal Company aggregation, and
the counter.jumpers are confident of
giving the quill.drivers run for their
money: The pen pushers, on the other
hand, expect to shut out their oppo.
nents without run The sales
ladies' Of Hartleys and the lady stem

be in evidence and root for their IA

WASHINGTON. b. G., June 20
Chief Engineer John F. Wallace, Of
the Isthmian Canal Commission. will
arrive in Washington on June 20,
and before he returns TO Panama some
problems connected with the work Of
canal digging will be settled. Mr.
Wallace will have conferences with
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft.
From various unofficial sources have
come rumors Of friction between Mr..
Wallace and some one else, but no
details are obtainable, and officials
here disparage any such talk. Mr..
Wallace, when made a member of
the canal commission at $500 year,
with additional compensation of ST..
500 as chief engineer, was told that
he would have unlimited sway -as
chief engineer. 1t follows that II any
dispute has arisen it is one Of Sc.
rious character, and must be between
MIR. Wallace and those higher in au
thority.
One highly important matter, the
award of the contract for the dredg
ing of Colon harbor at cost of sew
eral million dollars, awaits Mr.. Wal
lace's return. Many prospective bid
ders on this contract asserted that
the time allowed before opening the
bids last week was too short to ena

issued were faulty. Notwithstanding
