SEERS PREDICTED YEAR Mme. de Thebes Prephesied In Paris Last December a Year of Tribulation, and Just Before the Titani the Fate It Would Meet and Said that W. T, Stead Would Die on Sinking Ship. The first bialf of the year 1912, now dust closed, has been. marked by an unusual number of disasters on land and sea, on every continent. The gen- era run of bad luck has been such mal prophecies made by the so-called seers, here and abroad. In December, 1911, Mme. de. Thebes, the Paris astrologer, predicted that 1912 would be an odJous, atrocious Year, marked by continent wrecking, wars, conspiracies, assassinations, riots, epidemics; the ruin of Paris, the Mownfall of the German Emperor, fu- sillades in Spain, and tears and mis. ery elsewhere. In April last-she said she had fore- seen the Titanic disaster..and in 1906 told W. T. Stead, one- of that ship's Jost passengers, that he would die at sea One War and Three Rebellions Razed. One war and three large. rebellions have been in progress. The war be- tween Turkey and Italy has centered largely at Tripoli, Africa, but has rag- Jed ou and upon both sides of the Med- iterranean, with the toss-of dozens of ships and thousands of lives. The chief relelRtong have been in China, Mexico and Mordcco.. They are all still un- der-way, and tho-total losses are e6- 'timated--to aggregate more than 150,- 009 human beings and 1,000,000,000 in property. Sea Collects Toll of Lives and Dollars There have been no new famines this year, but there is still a great deal of suffer ym last season s shert grain crops in China, Russfa and India. It was estimated in March last that 2,500,000 persons. were then facing starvation in China. The rebel- lion in the Middle Kingdom is attri- buted partly to food shortage and Partly to the Manchu dynasty s edict against opium. Hundreds Haye Died Storms, Creat storms, involving extensive logs of life, have be n unusually pre- valent in the United States and else where. In Februany . elght persons Were killed and fifty injured at Shrev- port, La. In March scores were kill- ed in one of the severest storms on record in Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. In April twenty-five buildings were blown down iP wind. Later that month between 5 and 100 persons were killed by tornadoes in lt;Tilinols and Indiana. Bush, Til, was the greatest sufferer. In June 27 people died in a tornado that raged and roared in Western Missouri and Ohio, The culminating event of tlie six months disasters was the Regina cy- clone, which came in the dying hours of the last day of the half year when 40 lost thelr lives, 300 were injured and millions of dollars lost in. pro- in Terrific perty destroyed. v The worst moving picture tragedy. happened on May 2 at Villareol, in Spain, when 84 persons were burned or crushed to death. The place had been run without a license. Earthquakes in This Country Abroad. Earthquakes have been numerous. On January 1 there were two shocks, close to the city of Washington, and since then-there have been shocks in a majority of the States of the Union. to Father Odenbach, a Cleveland, 0., astronomer, the many recent quivers indicate that a part of the surface of the United States is taking 2 slant in the direction of Can- ada, It is not considered likely the up-tilt will become great enough to cause New York.to slide into Hudson Bay not for a million years, at least The quakes-have been markedly felt in, Cuba and Germany, and have de- stroyed villages in the Greek islands in the Mediterranean, in Costa Rica, in Panama and Mexico. Floods and storms attended the quakes in Central America and bridge was shaken down in March just ahead of the train on which the American Secretary of and Dardoateatpatertoctoctecdoatoctocte eatpateetoctesteatoats Septet Adverse Your Wanis Nov in Da es State, P, C.

In June riots occurred in Belgium and many persons were killet and hun- dreds wounded fn conflicts with the soldiery and police. In the United States more than-400, 000 miners: suspended work in the. hard and soft coal regions, while the bosses and the labor leader, were agreeing on 4 wage scale. For a time it was feared there would be a repeti- tion of the great anthracite strike of 1902, Chicago had a newspaper strike in May, and seyeral people were kill- ed. in strikes at Perth Amboy, in June. Philadelphia had a baseball strike, the first-of the kind on record anywhere. There was a fatal food strike in San Quentin prison, Califor- nia, In May 75,000 were involved in tex- tile strikes at Lawrence, Mass. and other places in New England, and-the Industrial Workers of the Wprld put sabotage, or malicious destruction of property, in practice, and several per- scns were killed in conflicts with po- lice and the militia. Number of Train Wrecks a Breaker. Never has there been, in the sam period of: time, as many bad train wrecks in this country as in the first six months of the present year. The latest was that ci a children s plenic train. om the Ligonier Valley branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, near fo Latrobe, Pa., on July 6, when twenty. were killed and thirty hurt. Mistaken orders caused the accident. The Lackawanna rear-end smashup on July 4; near Corning, N. Y., in which forty-one people were killed, was the worst to date. Many of the 'wrecks have been due, it Is said, to brittle rails, supplied by the rolling mills at the d mand of the railway officials, who clamor for very hard rails. In the case of the Lackawaua wreck, the express engineer is said to have run past his signals. Most to suffer have been the crack fliers on the big roads, the Twentieth Century and Bighteen-hour New York- Z many of the car Imiteds, made up of very heavy cars, travelling at high speed. Among the victims. of an Ilinols Central wreck on Jan. 22, at Kinmundy, JL, were James T, Harahan, farmer Pres- dent of the line, and two high offi- clals of the Rock Island system, F. Q, Melcher and B. B. Pierce. Train Robbers Add to the Disasters. Train robberies have been frequetit. On May 16 bandits got 200,000 from a Queen and Crescent express, near 19, 360,000 was taken from a Mobile and Ohio passenger train near Corinth, Miss, On March 13, a train-robber was.
