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." Kheunintism Relieved in 3 Hours. "MYSTIC CURE" for RHEUMA TISM and NEURALGIA relieves in three hours. Its action upon the sys tem Is marvelous and mysterious. It removes at once the cause and the dis ease quickly disappears.

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. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN. AL LKN & CO., stock brokers, 2 Sprue street. Open- High- Low- Clos ing. et. est ins.
