1905 WILL BE YEAR OF HORRORS
According to Lee Spangler, the Last
of the Prophets.

of the Prophets.
The Baltimore Sun prints the 1906
prophecy of Lee Spangler, an evangel-
ist and Bible student, who is known
throughout southern Pennsylvania
under his self-styled title as ''the last
of the prophets" AS usual he has
dire things in store for some parts of
the world and especially for that much
perturbed and unfortunate country,
Russia.
Spangler has attracted attention as
prophet by announcing that accord
ing to scripture, certain passages of
which he quotes, he was ordained by
God to be the last of the prophets, and
predict the certain end of the world,
the date of which cataclysm he has
been postponing from time to time, and
which, according to his latest predic-
ton, is to happen for certainty in
1906.
When Spangler prophesied the death
of Queen Victoria, the assassination
ofPresident Mckinley, the defeat of the
Russians by the japanese, the Chicago
theater fire, the North river steamboat
disaster, the election of Theodore
Roosevelt as president of the United
States, and other events long prior to
their occurrence he gained following,
especially among the country folks,
many of of whom read his annual fore
casts with interest.
Here are few of the events that,
according to Spangler, may be looked
for in 1906
The dissolution of Russia.
The overthrow of Turkey.
The assassination of the car of
Russia.
The assassination of the Sultan of
Turkey;
The prevention of three wars by
President Roosevelt.
A protracted race war in the south.
Destructive spring floods in the
United States.
A destructive eruption of Mount We
suvius.
The activity of Mount Pelee and
POpocatepelt
Volcanic eruptions in all parts of
the world.
The eruption of many volcanoes
now supposed to be extinct
Great loss of life at sea by storm.
Destruction of two western cities by
cyclones.
Earthquakes in all parts of the
world.
Destructive earthquakes in Califor-
MIA and the Philippines.
Rebellion in Spain.
Great disturbances all over Europe.
Spangler says further that the sum-
mer of 1906 will be hot and sultry
throughout the temperate zone, with a
high death rate.
That Christ will make his spirit felt
among the people of the United States
and England, in which countries there
are to be fervent religious and potent
political movements, which are to
overcome in a great degree the present
spirit of graft and commercialism.
That the United States will continue
as world power and the leader OF
other nations.
That Pennsylvania is to have an adj
ministration of the people, and that
| discoveries of corruption will be made
| which will drive some of the guilty to
suicide.
That God will wreck terrible ven
| geneance upon the Russians for the
| massacre of the Jews.

AN OLD TIME COUPLE.
Wife of Alabama Senator Makes His

Wife OIL ALABAMA senator Makes his
Shirts and Knits His Socks.
Senator Pettus of Alabama wears
shirts made by his wife and socks
which she has knitted. The old couple
live in Selma when not in Washington
and new manners and customs have
changed them little. Since their mar
riage, 81 years ago, she has made all
his linen garments. Until about 20
wears ago she adhered to the ways of
her foremothers and spun the fax her
self. Now she finds her eyes are fail
ing. and she buys the linen from a
merchant in Mobile, but the remainder
of the work is her labor of love. AS
she talks to her guests, whether at
home or in Washington, her fingers
are busy with knitting. Mrs. Pettus
has a remarkable memory and tells
entertaining anecdotes in a quaint,
old-fashioned way. On every ami
versary of their marriage the couple
give a reception for the senate, anC
great is the shower of gifts.

UNCLE SAM BUILDS MODEL ROADS.

Uncle Sam, through his agricultural
department, has gone into the business
of instructing his people in the art OF
road building. Last year he built
twenty-one model roads in different
sections of the country. A compar-

shows that macadam roads have a
maximum cost of SO cents per square
ward; sand and clay roads cost 81
cents; burnt clay 20 cents and shell "a

A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Condition Of a Man Who Was Found
Floating About the Ocean on a
Plank. Had Given Up Hone.

In speaking of the fact that sailor
was rescued after being adrift on a
plank at sea from o'clock on Satur-
day morning to o'clock on the fol-
lowing Monday afternoon, the Savan-
nah News says:
when picked up by the Europe
Sumner was in a fainting condition,
his throat was parched and swollen,
he was numb with cold, being drenched
to the skin, and was exhausted phys
ically. He had seen vessel after YES
sci pass across the horizon and dis
appear, each one seeming to lessen
his chances of escaping watery
grave. After two days he gave up
hope and chung to the gang-plank
through the force of the first law of
nature.
During the first two days all the
ships which came within view were too
far off to be attracted by the feeble eff
forts he was able to make, but on the
third day he drifted we'll in the course
of vessels coming down the coast. He
sighted the Europa, and with one SUI
preme effort he tore cotton muff1er
from around his throat and waving it
wildly for few minutes sank back on
the frail support exhausted.
"The lookout on the Europa saw
the speck upon the water, and boat
was manned and sent to investigate
Sumner had to be assisted to a seat in
the boat, and was carried to the steam
ship, where he was provided with
clothing and some stimulants. He had
lost his hat and the rubber boots he
wore at the time he set himself adrift
on the gang-plank."
1t is probable that the human brain
is inadequate to describe the suffer-
ings experienced by this man. He
probably "died thousand deaths"
during the many hours he was on the
plank. He had time to think of all
the misdeeds he had committed, and
doubtless made thousands of promises
that in the future he would avoid the
pitfalls which line the pathway of life.

Street Signs.
From the Boston Herald.


The Italian city of Milan is to try novel
experiment in street signs. They have had
the different illuminated and painted signs
on street corners and they have not given
satisfaction, and so the city authorities have
decided to put brass signs at each street
CT ossing which are to be inserted in the
pavement. The use of the electric light at
many street corners where previously gas
lamp was located has resulted in leaving
strangers quite in the dark as to the name
of the street The lamp post with the

the most satisfactory street sign ever pro-
duced for this part of the world. although
it is common comment that American
street lighting is inferior to that of con-
tinental cities Tbs experiment of Milan in
putting the brass letters In the pavement
might solve the problem for city where
there was no snow. but it would be entirely
useless for Boston. This whole matter OF
indicating streets has occasioned many con-
troversies, and one New York official once
succeeded in getting that city TO put the
name of the street on the lamp posts with
The letters running the wrong way He
claimed that Ii was the best possible method
of indicating the streets. but the custom OF
having the name of the street run in the
same direction as the street itself could not
be overcome and his scheme was aban-
doned. street lights may be made orna-
mental as well as useful. and Paris is a
notable example of what can be done in the
way of utilizing light to the bsst advantage.
