Halley's Comet to Side-Swipe Earth

Lee J. Spangler, of York, Pa, it is
alleged, prophesied the San Francisco
earthquake and fire, the date of the
death of Queen Victoria, the assassi-
nation Of President Mckinley and the
drought last summer, has again brOk-
en- loose, and now declares that the
earth will be torn with earthquakes,
that volcanoes will suddenly appear
in the most unexpected places and
that drought, pestilence and great
wars will follow the path Of Halley's
comet.
Spangler asserts that astronomers
have miscalculated the result of the
comet striking the earth on May IS
next He says that the earth will
not merely be swept by the tail of
this celestial wanderer but will be
side-swiped by it.
In 1908 his preachings of the ap-
pearance of the end Of the world Great
ed a large body of followers in New
York State. They obeyed the proph-
cts instruction to deck themselves in
white and 60 to the top of the hill on
the appointed day, but Spangler him
self was not with them and the world
did not come to an end. He says that
the people misunderstood him; what
he predicted and what did come was
the sixth trumpet of the Revelations.
When the seventh trumpet blows,
he says, the world will end of a period
of disasters and punishments of the
wicked, of which the visit of Halleys
comet will be but the beginning.
This il the prophets predictions:
There will be severe rackingS of
the entire earth, together with ter
rifying display Of electrical illumina-
tons in the heavens. Thousands will
fall upon their knees in prayer, think
ing that the end of the world has come,
but it will not be the end. 1t will
come in summer, not in winter or on
the Sabbath. Where the comet will
strike the world I cannot say, but it
will most likely wipe away London,
as that wicked city is to be destroyed
before the end.
During the period which is to fol-
low banks will fail and wealthy men
will wish they had never been born.
Many will commit suicide. Sickness
and death will visit every family in
this country from which have come
contributions to political campaign
funds. Wars will break out and tens
of thousands will be slain
Roosevelt would better have stay
ed at home, as he is stirring up the
nations to strife. The United States
will have war with Japan, but will
come off victorious. Another nation
will interfere and will go down to de-
feat in the same way. A third will
follow, but will back out. England and
Germany will go to war"
He prOphesies that the drought Of
last summer will be nothing to COM
pare with the one to be experienced
this summer. He closed by saying
that prophet who is false will lose
his own soul.

Big Circus.

At Baltimore Barnum & Bailey show
to be seen there on Wednesday and
Thursday, May II and IL.
This is the best news of the day to
those who are fond Of the circus form
Of amusement. For fifty-five years
this had been the leading show of the
world. This year it comes forth with
an entire new equipment which cost
the management $3,500,000.
The main performance is given in
three rings, on two stages, on i'm
mense Roman race track and in the
dome. The climax of the program is
the appalling performance Of Desper-
ado, a mad Frenchman, who leaps
from the dome Of the tent and lands
on his bare chest. Additional thrills
are given by Jupiter, a pure-white
Arabian horse. 1t rides to the dome
of the tent in balloon and descends
amid Niagara of exploding rockets
and fireworks. Then there is Charlie
the First, beyond all question the most
remarkable animal that ever came to
the notice of scientists. Charlie the
First is merely a chimpanzee, but he
has become the greatest bicycle rider
and acrobat in the world. He does an
act on one of the stages that is the
wonder of the age.
In the menagerie is found the most
remarkable geological exhibit ever
seen outside of the interior of the
African jungle. 1t is Bumbino, the
first and only baby giraffe ever born
or exhibited in America. Only once
before in history has the stork visited
the giraffe pen Of captive zoo Of ami
mails That event happened over fifty
years ago in London, England. The
youngster died before it could be
placed on exhibition. Bumbino is
only three feet tall, less than one
seventh of it's mothers height. The
youngster l. worth its weight i'm gold.
On the list of performers are the
names of 400 of the worlds most tai
ented performers. The new parade Is
a marvel of interest. 1t is a panor-
anna Of o thousand wonders. There
are three miles of it.
Here j. an opportunity for the peO-
pie Of Carroll county and vicinity to see
the greatest circus ever organized.
The railroads will lower the rates of
fare and special excursions will be
run. -- ..
