MAD YEAR FORSEEN
BY THE PROPHETS
"a mad year.

~ lIdu yCdl.
Thus Madame de Thebes, the French
seeress, in her prophecy made public
three months ago, characterized the
twelve months OF 1906. The French
woman now claims to have predicted
the eruption Of Mount Vesuvius and
the earthquake in San Francisco.
Two other prophets, one German
and the other an American evangelist
crowd the French woman in theft
claims for public attention. They
too, predicted iireful things.
Scoffers point out that the prophets
always predict disaster, claim what
ever turns up, and are not lacking in
excuses if nothing happens. But
their followers point to these last two
disasters as full6llment OF their pro-
phecies. 49,.
Il forsee in the very immediate fu-
ture notable and unsuspected changes" {"
wrote Madame de Thebes.
She prophesies worlds war along
with her prophecies Of natural disast-
ers. Everything points to the con-
tinuation, Of terrible commotion, the
! bloody suprisings, the ferocity OF slaugh-
| ter. The consequences OF all this
feyerish unrest and revolution will be
| the most radical changes of every con-
ceivable kind. =. '.....<<.,.

Eemployed in several shops in Fargo. He
deserted his wife and FIVE children. in
Grand Forks about three years ago and
came to, Fargo where he worked for a
time. He lis supposed to have gone to
the coast but returned a little oyer a
year ago and, without securing a di-

married in Moorhead March IL, 1905,

Soon after his second marriage, Sire

there are nearly 100 paid subscribers

rrRH PANIC IN BIO HOSPITAL
Blaxing Laundry Causes Patients to
Flee Half.Clad.

San Francisco, May A-The 700 pa.
tients in the general hospital at the Pre-.
sidio were thrown into panic at i;i5
o'clock this morning by the cry Of
efre.
At that moment flames were diseov.
cred in the hospital laundry, which was
only few yards away. The close prOx.
unity of the two buildings gave rise to
the fear that the hospital would be
destroyed.
In anticipation Of such a contingency
hurried arrangements were made for
the removal Of the patients to a place
Of safety.
For a few minutes, until the FIRE In
the laundry was gotten under control
and there was no danger Of the flames
spreading beyond that building, pande.
monium reigned among the hundreds
Of patients
Those who were not dangerously III, or
could help themselves, jumpedl from
their cots and beds, and, hastily don.
ming what clothes they could find, hed
from the hospital out into the cool
morning air.
Many Of the indisposed men and
women did not wait to secure their
clothes, but wrapped themselves in bed.
ding and made their exit as quickly as
possible.
In more than one instance men and
women fed out into tho air with moth.
ing but their night clothes Scores Of
patients who had the physical strength
stopped sufficiently long to assist more
weak and unstrung men and women
from the hospital,
Within Is minutes after the alarm
was given the majority of the patients
had left the hospital building and stood
in groups or lay upon the ground upon
bed clothes, Watching the hremen and
soldiers fight the flames in the laundry.
When the flames had been extin.
guished the nurses, physicians and sol.
diers turned their attention to the pa.
tient-refugees, and assisted in taking
them back to their cots and beds in
private rooms and wards.
Men and women became hysterieal
during the progress of the FIRE, and 1t
was with difficulty that many Of them
could be induced to return 10 the hos
pnal. II is feared that the shock TO
many of the more seriously sick patients
will have a serious if not fatal effect.
When the fire was discovered in the
hospital a general alarm was sounded.
Besides the regular post FIRE department
hundreds Of soldiers turned out TO fight
the flames. II was only by hard work
that the flames were confined to the
laundry, which, with its contents, was
entirely destroyed, and prevented from
spreading TO the general hospital.
The origin Of the FIRE is unknown.

MONEY NEEDED FOR RELIEF.
Red Cross Sends 100000, and Has
Another S1,0c0,000.

Washington, May 1,-Three hundred
thousand dollars were forwarded by

day to James d. Phelan, chairman Of
the Red Cross and relief committee in
San Francisco, and he was advised that
1,000,0 900 more is at the disposal of the

Judge w. w. Morrow, president of the

Wsed the Red Cross today that 1t will
be better from this time on for the So
ciety to send money to California rath-
er than food and provisions, as the i'm
mediate needs are provided for.

sentative of the Red Cross at San Fran

HEAVY Loss in San Mateo County.

San Mateo, Cal, May 4.-The losses
in San Mateo County resulting from
the recent earthquake can never be even
approximately estimated. Practically
every building in the county suffered
some damage in chimneys, plaster,
broken furniture or crockery. Here, as
elsewhere, brick and stone buildings
suffered the most. The loss Of life was
small. In Half-Moon Bay painter and
two children were killed in the collapse
of an old adobe building. The heaviest
losses were in Redwood City, where the
new 100000 courthouse. was almost to-
tally destroyed.

Companies VIII Be Generous, but Not
Exceed Legal Inability.

New York, May 4.-The Tribune to.
day says:
Representatives Of both foreign and
American fire insurance companies, who
were in the city yesterday, discussed ac-
tion to effect compromise in the ad-
justment of losses by the San Francisco
FIRE.
The great companies express strong
purpose to be not only just, but gener-
GUS in eases Of doubt, but one insurance
president said:
"The adjusters for this company will
not be allowed to waive the conditions
of its policies, nor the conditions and
restrictions of its charters. We have
no more right to pay loss oceasioned
by earthquake than we have to pay a
loss of life. We are not an earthquake
insurance company, nor life insurance
company"
Insurance men estimate that the com
panies will ultimately pay from go to
rs per cent of the aggregate amount of
the risk.
The message from London insurance
companies to adjusters in Oakland, pub
lished. this morning, should have read:
"Under any circumstances, the Brit.
ish offices will only pay the losses for
which they are legally liable, since to
go beyond their contracts would be il
legal.
'They cannot recognize any liability
for damage by earthquake where no
fire ensued, nor for damage by fire to
fallen or partly fallen buildings, nor
for damages to buildings pulled down OF
destroyed by order of the San Francisco
authorities.
