The backache 7 suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that I could
hardly breathe. But the worst Of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never leftmefor seven weeks. About this
time I had had several numb spells. NV

feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
''Nothing had helped me until began

has just been issued by the Interstate
commerce commission for tic three
months ended March u, 1906, shows
that the total number of casualties to
passengers and employees was 1926
Q,126 killed and 1910 injured). This
is an increase of II in the number
killed and 81 in the Lumber injured
over those reported in the preceding
three months. In closing the bulletin
says: "The most DISASTROUS accident
reported in the present bulletin, a col
lision causing "a deaths and injuring
"a, was due to the striking f<ilure OF
the train dispatching system. A te1e,

DOOM OF CITIES PREDICTED.

Prepare for shocks. Prophet Edmund s.
Stevens, of this city, has prophesied long series
of dreadful catastrophes which will eliminate in
the destruction of all the cities of the earth in
the year of our Lord 1882.
Mother Earth is not of plumb, according to
this prophet and all the terrible earthquakes that
have occurred and are yet to come are due to
the fact that the earth is gradually resuming
it's proper position. When this stage of transi.
ton is reached there will be earth and a
new heaven referred to in the scriptures.
The prophecy follows:
cause OF EARTHQUAKES.
1.-The earth is out of her place, or upright
position 1t is gradually resuming it. Whenever
there is accelerated or faster motion then in
that period earthquakes occur. We are now in
one of these periods, from Mont Pelee, 1900, to
l905 Again from 1925 to 1916 and again from 1876

ELLIS ISLAND CLOSING.
Companies attitude May Lead to
Action by Congress.
[From Ths Tribuns Rureau.l ]

washington, Aug z.-Those who have watched
the agitation resulting from the order closing
Ellis Island Sundays during August, September
and October are surprised at the shortsighted
policy OF the steamship companies in seeking to
excite popular sympathy and create opposition TO
such closing This policy. if persisted in, WILL it is
confidently believed, result In Congress passing
law closing all immigration stations on Sundays.
There have never been enough employees at any
of the immigrant stations permit of working
two shifts or even 20 allow each emplOye one day
a week off. During the rush season. in fact dur
Ing the greater part Of the year, the inspectors
and other employees at Ellis Island work seven days
a week and even then can hardly handle the great
crowds there Following the annual spring rush
the immigration falls off, and the authorities
thought they in this falling of an opportunity
to make up to their employees for the strain OF
the earlier months. as well as some opportunity
to comply with the earnest representations Of the
Missionary Union and various other religious or
ganizations which seriously opposed to keeping
the stations open any Sunday.
OF course, It was not expected that immigrants
would be compelled to remain on shipboard' in the
harbor all day Sunday, but 1t was assumed that
the ship owners would so arrange their schedules
as to bring their vessels to Ellis Island during the
MondaW ' rnornine In this way the Immigrants
would be saved from spending day IN the RaT6oe @
their freedom on Sundays during the slack season

Congress for legislation closing all Immigrant sta
tionS on Sundays and that the appeal wou>d not be
in vain II would doubtless have the support OF
the administration, and. moreover, would be urged
by all religious organizations and by many OF the
labor unions. The result Of so strong combine
ton can easily be foretold, especially when the
only objection 70 the law would be the tnconven-
ience occasoned the steamship companies in COM
plying with II.
That. Congress is not disposed TO consider the
steamship companies with any too tender regard
is demonstrated by the fate of the Ship Subsidy
BILL for which the abest and most eloquent argu-
nents have been advanced during many sessions OF
Congress, which was supported by so able and ef-
fective legislator as the late Senator Hanna and
which has more than passed the Senate, only

In addition to his regular salary Mr.. Record
received fees, ranging from SO to s30. for the

nection with the titles. etc When the checks
arrived one was forwarded to the State Treas
urer and the other was given to Record. Payne
said that he made computation, and that from
1895 to the termination Of his Office, about seven
years Record had received about $1,000 While

members confirmed him privately.
