LARGELY MATTER or FAITH
Proof OF Authenticity Of Relics, Re-
llgIous or Historical, In Most
Cases impossible

The authenticity of relics, religious

largely a matter of faith; proof is
often lacking. often indeed impossible

the same may be said OF many other
historical heirlooms the real history
OF which IS lost in the mists of an
uGuity. How many pairs of gloves
v ere given by King Charles as keep
sakes on the day OF his execution?
There are quite number of claimants
for the honor. One pair has recently
been the cause of a law suit, and II
was said in the course Of the trial
that they were given by the king to
Bishop Juxon on the scaffold. There
Is yet another pair which has had a
far stranger history than most Stuart
relics. which have indeed little his
tory. but quiet passing from genera
ton to generation in English country
houses. They we're sent by King
Charles on the day of execution by a
trusty hand to Speaker Lenthall for
amity's sake" Only one OF the pair
now survives, the other was burned
in a bush fire in Australia. The
precious gloves had gone there when
the Lenthalls awhile ago left their
homes and their lands and had, with
Charles lis pardon Of Lenthall, been
cherished in many wanderings in Au
STRATA. The surviving glove and the
pardon are now back in England. be

1t is quite likely that King Charles
gave away several pairs of gloves. fol

RAISE IN TARIFFS URGED.
Railroad Official Says Rates Not In
creased on Par With Prices.

Worcester Mass.-Unless the rail-
roads of the country charge higher
rates for carrying freight. wages will
have to be cut. according 10 argu-
ments put forth by speakers at the
meeting of the New England mem
bers of the American Railroad En-
blowers and Investors Association
here
For 25- years. said p H. Morris
sey. president OF the association, the
changes in class rates have been
very slight, while the value of al
most every commodity has increased.
The railroads have found il necessary
again and again TO increase wages.
Now they are making a moderate
advance in some rates but the ad-
vance is so small in comparison with
the value of the commodities as to
be almost impossible for computation
by the ultimate consumer. IF the
railroads are not allowed to raise
their freight rates. it will be felt
in other ways"

CHICAGO PROPHET SAYS
CAPITAL IS DOOMED
Unless People Make Haste
to Repent

Washington D. C., April 1.-THE
city of Washington will soon be de-
stroyed by an earthquake!
AT least tina: is the prediction If
Elias F. w. Kasperelt, of Chicago, Ill,
who styles himself The Promised
prophet Elias" and who travels around
the country foretelling disasters.
OF course, the prophet admits that
Washington might possibly be saved
if the people would only repent and
abandon their wicked ways The rea,
son for the destruction of this nations
capital is the utter disregard of the
people for the teachings of the BIZ
BILE.
Prophet Elias is not prepared to
say just when the dreadful calamity
will HAPPEN, or whether the city
will be swallowed completely in the
earthquake, or whether the disaster
win be the tumbling down of build
ings accompanied by fire. But there
is one thing the prophet is certain of,
and that is, Washington is doomed.
Sends Letter of Warming.
Warnings of the coming event have
bee nsent to the president by spe-
cial delivery and to the various am
bassadors in the city Today the
prophet has announced he will notify
the senate and house of representa-
tives
The prophet claims to have sent
out warnings of the Boxer uprtsings
of last year. He states that he told
the people the uprising would not
occur until after April Z. 1t occur
red about the middle of the month
The prophet claims to have sent
warnings of the upheaval in Rome to
the king of Italy, and also to have
notified the king of Portugal of the
late uprising in that country. He says
he is sent by a higher power" to
visit twelve large cities in the world
within the coming year. He arrives in
each city on the seventh day of the
month and remains seven days.
Has Vision While Here.
He arrived in Washington last Fri
day and on Monday morning at
o'clock he had vision of the uttor
destruction of Washington. Monday
he notified the president and the am
bassadors.
The prophet claims to have his
visions in various manners. Some
times they come while he is aslee,,
and at other times when he is alone
a voice is heard telling him to con-
vey a message to the people, and
again he is visited by angels.
The route which the prophet has
marked out for himself for the next
year will lead from here to Rome,
where he will arrive on May 7. From
there he will go to Paris, London,
Berlin, st. Petersburg, Stockholm, Cop
enhagen, Lisbon and Madrid The
prophet will remain in Washington
until Friday He is stopping at the
American hotel.
