END-OI'.THE.WOKLD PROPHET
They Keep Cropping I'p ia Spite of
Innumerable Failures,
From the Philadelphia Press.
It Is a most remarkable book that has
just been Issued In the little town t
Vichy, France, and of which a single
copy, so far as It is known, has made its
way to this country. Its author is the
Abbe Dupin. cure of the village of Dion,
and he declares that he has discovered
indubitable evidence of the approach
ing end of all things. The great "coup,"
as he calls It. will, he assures us, tuke
place In all probability on September
10 or 20 of this year, certainly before
the close of 1809!
- What makes this statement so extra
ordinary is the fact that the author de
clares that his work Is issued with tho
sanction of the Catholic authorities. He
disclaims any attempt to inculcate any
except orthodox doctrine.
, The title of the book Is curious and
reminds one of the first pages of some
Elizabethan romance. Here Is part of
it:
"The grand coup, or universal cata
clysm, will ravage the world between
the 19th and 21st of September, 189$, as
foretold In the Scriptures. The propn
ecles of the Old and New Testament
compare with those of the Father, and
with the secrets of La Salette, In which
are foretold the great war which will
destroy nine-tenths of the human race,
the coming of antichrist and his reign,
after which the church will triumph
over her enemies and the reign of
Christ begin on earth."
The book Is divided Into two parts, tn
the first the author foretells the events
which are about to occur, including the
devastation of the world by wars, earth
quakes and plagues, (he birth of anti
christ, whose mother, he says. Is al
ready here, and a terrible cataclysm,!
the nature of which is vogue, which will
leave few human beings alive. All this,
he declares, he has found, on unim
peachable authority, to be due to occur
at the time he states.
The second part contains his reasons
for selecting the time he specifics. It
consists of a number of elaborate cal
culations offcthe kind which readers of
similar prophecies are familiar with.
Some of the coincidences he mentions
ure curious, but people will probably
nol aiarm themselves to any great ex
tent by his warnings.
The chief Interest of the hook lies In
the position of Its writer. The prophet
Is ever with us, mid regularly has pre
dicted the end of all tilings for nearly
every year for the last 500. "Rev." Mr.
Rnxter created unite a sensution In
England a few years ago by assuring
his hearers that they might expect the
end of the world In 18S7. The year went
by and nothing particular happened
and the prophet then shifted his dale a
ytar or two forward. He Is probably
at the same game and finds a fresh
stock of believers every year, who are
foolish enough to credit him and, Inci
dentally, piippurt him and his family.
Hut the Franch abbe's book Is of a
different character. Rome has discour
aged any visions of this kind In her
priests, knowing that whatever tempo
rary effect they may have Is soon to be
destroyed when the futility of the
prophecy is discovered. The abbo Is
doubtless claiming more authority than
he has.
NOT A CRIMINAL.
Where the Degenerate Theory Conies
inns nn Excuoc for Urutul Crimes.
From the Cliicugo Post.
"No," said the great student of so
ciology, thoughtfully. "I do not consid
er this man a criminal."
"Not a criminal," exclaifcied the man
of unscientitlc mind.
"I consider him, very far from being
one."
Rut think what he did?"
"I do. That Is why I have come to
this conclusion."
"He committed murder, didn't he?"
"Legally, I suppose he did."
"The deed was absolutely fiendish In
Its cruelty."
"I admit that."
"Four people died horlrble deaths as a
result of his deliberate act."
"That is quite true."
"Then, if he is not a criminal, there
are none."
"On the contrary, there are a great
many of them. The snopllfter In the
next cell Is a criminal. So Is the fellow
on the other side who assaulted a man
with a slungshot. But It Is absurd to
call this man a criminal."
"Then what is he?"
"He Is a degenerate."
"Oh, yes, of course," returned the man
of unscientific mind. "I forgot that
science had made such great strides of
late, and so I failed to apply the usuul
test."
"Yes. As I understand it, a criminal
becomes a degenerate when he does
something for which he ought to hang."

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.
New York. Aug. 6. Stocks to-day
were active and -weak, the trading
reaching 245,108 shares, an unusually
large total. The heaviness of the mar
ket was due primarily to the activity
of the bear leaders who in the absence
of bull support are practically in con
trol of the current speculation. At tne
opening London sold heavily of Louis
ville and Nashville and other stocks
dealt in abroad. The selling of the
western stocks was attributed to re
ports of dumage to crops in the north
west while Louisville and Nashville
was depressed by the poor traffic state
ment for July just published. Follow
ing the foreign selling there waa an
attack on the Grangers, Manhattan
and Western Union by local operators.
Burlington and Quincy made a new
low record, selling down to 57. It
was again stated that the directors will
b compelled to reduce the dividend
on the stock. The same argument was
made in the case of Manhattan and the
stock dropped 1 to 84. Money on
time worked closer andhlgher rates
were predicted. The failures In mer
cantile circle and the suspensions at
th cotton exchange also had their In
fluence with the discouraged bulls.
The important losses in the usually
active list follow: Burlington, 3 to
51; Sugar, 2'i to 100; Chicago Gas,
2 to 48fc; Northwest. ZYi to 90; St. Paul,
2 to 63; Rock Island, 2Mi to 51;
Lackawanna, 4 to 145; Illinois Cen
tral 4 to 86; Louisville and Nashville,
2H to 40; Manhattan, 14 to 34; New
York Central, 2'4 to 88; New Jersey
Central. 1 to 90i; Pacific Mall, 14
to 16; Southern Railway preferred,
1V4 to 18V4; Omaha. 2V4 to 31, and
Leather preferred, 2 to 45Vi. In the
active list Illinois Stieel brought 39
against 50 the last reported sale for
full lots at the stock exchange. A rally
of 4 nt 1 per cent, ensued during the
afternoon as tho result of buying by
brokers identified with a bear opera
tor. At the close, however, the market
was feverish and unsettled. Net
changs show losses of at 214 per cent.
Minnesota Iron fell 3 to 47 and Lack
awanna 4 to 145. Sugnr .which was
the most active stock figured for 29,403
shares. St. Paul was second with 24,
500 shares nnd Burlington and Quincy
third with 2B.000.

BIG AND GOOD.).
Sometimes quality is sacrificed in the
effort to give big: quantity for little money
No doubt about that. -
But once in a while it isn't.
For instance, there's " BATTLE AX."
The piece is bigger than you ever saw
before for 5 cents. And the quality is. as
many a man has said, mighty good.''
There's no guess work in this statement.
It is just a plain fact.
You can prove it by investing 5 cents
in "BATTLE AX.''
