TO BE A YEAR OF ,ORRORS, Calamities Are Predicted by Paris for the Year 1904. A special cable to The Philed elphia Press from Pa'ris says: The' papers here are commenting gravely on the unanimity of the astrologers, fhagiciani, clairvoyants and trance medjums in' predicting a year of horrors for 1904. A leading astrologer named Jacob sizes up the situation as follows, and the others agree mnore or less as to detail: Here is the horosco'pe for 1904, made at the moment the sun entered the sign of Capricorn: It indicates a year of great immorality in London. The viceroy of India abdicates. The United States has grave quarrels with Russia and Ger many. Roosevelt falls sick and4 a' conspiracy is hatched against him. Serious financial disasters in Am erica. The Emperor of Japan has grave accident. An attempt on the life of the Em peror of ('hina. Volcanic shocks in Constantinlo ple, Chile and the Philippines. A fear of unihealthy literature and unlimited materialist. The French Clbinet falls between April 7 and 19. A panic in a music hall, grave ac cidents and popular disturbances in Russia. An attempt to poison the Czar. Serious dissensions between Russia and Austria. England loses prestige. The campaigii inl Tiibet falls through. Tremeidous failures in Calcutta and the Transv,aal. Anarchist trouble- in Spain; the government threatened. In China women massacred. l1verywhere crimes of passion, mysterious deaths and strange phe nomena.. Nineteen hundred and fofr is an anagram of 1409, the date of the birth of Joan of Arc. This year a wonderful child will be born with a high destiny, showing its power in 1924, an anagram of 1429, the date of the apogee of Joan of Arc.
