TO PEOPLE BY PROPHET.

VIII he Radical Change Encir-
cling the Earth When 1T Comes"
He Says in His Statement.
BOSTON, Mass.-"The comet will
thrill the whole city. 1t will change
the thinking of the people so COM
pletely that on the evening of May
18th revivals will be held in the
streets of this city, and spiritual
songs will be sung all over, rousing
the fallen. Politicians will hold re-
yival meetings in the city hall, and
even the governor will call the senate
together in the state house and talk
of the eternal"
So says warning letter sent out
by Edward Griffith, the new Chris
tian prophet of Roxbury, who names
May 18th as the great day for the
celestial visitor, and the time at
which it will have it's great effect
on the inhabitants of the earth, whom
he expects to undergo spiritual
change by reason of the approach
of the flying body.
All christian people should on this
particular evening assemble in their
churches and wait, he declares.
There should be many revival meet
ings. No hanging around the
streets; everyone should seek the
nearest church, and there wait.
Mr.. Griffith says that no one
should be alone on this evening. The
people should band together.
This comet night" said Mr.. Crit
fifth, ''is revealed in the Scriptures,
very clearly in the Book of Revela-
ton. Too many of us are absorbed
in reading the newspapers and be-
ing ruled by them, but we should
look up and study the heavens. Our
destiny is written upon the face of
the sky. The Bible is constantly tell
ing us to read the teachings of the
sky. Why, Revelation is full Of such
teaching, and if we read it carefully
we will see, as, for instance: the
happiness in Isaiah, chapter "a, that
the inhabitants of this new world
will begin to go to the eastern hem
isphere and there will come new
zionistic republic. The world needs
to be reorganized, and everyone will
want to the east, and there will
dwell in the New Jerusalem. Then
will come the millenial reign OF
Christ.

BOY STARVED IN A TREE.
Monster Alligator Kept Vigil and
Prevented Escape.

The decomposed remains of Ernest
Johnson have been found in the top
most branches of a tree in Gish
bayou swamp by a searching party
that has been looking for the boy
for a week. The youth took refuge
from alligators in the tree several
days ago, and starved to death. A
note found in his hat told the story
of his death. He had been fishing
in the swamp, when alligators
swarmed around his skiff. The alli-
gators attacked the boat and the boy
ran it to the cypress tree. He clamb-
cred from the boat and climbed the
tree, thinking the alligators would
go away. They maintained their
vigil at the foot of the tree each
day and night until the terror-strick-
en- lad lost his nerve and dared not
attempt to escape in the boat.

It began at 10 a. m. and continued

lighted to read by and for candle
work. The Connecticut legislature
was in session, and one member
moved that the house adjourn on &C

which indicated the approaching

There have been dark days record
ed from time to time in all countries.
Various causes have been assigned
Volcanic dust, escape of vapors and
eXhalations from the interior of the
earth, smoke from burning forests,
burning meteors, cosmical dust from
distant regions of space, and clouds
of dust from deserts, the tails Of
comets and heavy clouds so finely di-
vided that the sun and moon are visi-
BILE through them.
There is in the present appearance
of the sun and moon nothing to
cause alarm. Such phenomena oc-
cur quite often, and while the cause
is not known no i'll effects have ever
been noted. The approach of the
comet is in no wise responsible, for
as yet it is on the opposite side of
the sun from us, and whatever in
fiuence it may have on the earth, if
any, could not be exerted through
the sun.

LEE CoUNTY's BIG PEAR CROP.
Record Breaking Yield Is Expected
BY Orchard Owners This Year.

Barring accidents and the ever
prevailing possibility of frost Geor-
gia's pear crop in 1910 will be worth
not less than 100000.
Reports from Lee county, which
possibly ships more pears than any
other in the state, declare that con-
ditions prevailing relative to the
coming pear crop are more promising
than at any time within the past sew
en- years.
Blight for the past seven years has
blasted the prospects of the pear
raisers of the state. This year it
is said that no blight has been re-
ported, and that the trees are free
from anything that might cut down
the production for 1910. Lee county
is famed for the LeConte and Keiffer
pears.

RESS MONROE ARE POSSIBLE;
WILL BE IMPROVED At ONCE.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., July 22-To the
failure of safety mechanism to OPP
crate when sudden and powerful
pull was given by the artillery man in
attaching the lanyard, is now laid the
responsibility for the accident which
cost the lives of eleven men at Fort
Monroe, Va, during the battle prac-
tice yesterday.
Such is the conclusion of General
Crozier, chief of ordnance, U. S. A.,
who attended the practice and who
has been in touch with the inquiry
made by the Investigating board. New
err before in teh history of the navy
had the devise failed to work. The
possibility of it's occurrence was dem.
onstrated, however, by General Gro
zier himself shortly after the accident
by test made of all the guns which
participated in the practice. In an
other gun of the Inflated Derussy
Battery, the devise was found defec-
tive when General Crozier applied un-
usual force, such as was never deemed
necessary in tests and examinations
Just before the accident the gun
was pronounced by officers to be in
perfect condition, and in April coast
artillery officer on inspection duty re-
ported that it's premature explosion
was beyond the range of possibility.
Steps will be taken at once to improve
the device.
