END OF THE WORLD IN 1915.
Font years more of life is tho limit allowed the world, by Lee J. Spangler, known as the York Prophet, of Pennsylvania, who predicts that some time in 1915 the earth will drop from its orbit and bo annihilated by its plunge through space to destruction. On six previous occasions Spangler has predicted the end of the world. Two years ago ho created terror ' among a hundred or more of his followers at Nyack, New York, by leading them to outlying hills in their ascension robes, there to witness tho pyrotechnics that were to accompany the dissolution of the globe. When nothing happened Spangler was chased out of tho town. He declared tho prayers of a few righteous men that New York City might bo saved was what prevented the international catastrophe which ho had expected to witness from the hills of Nyack. Bpangler remained quiet after tho discomforture of his Nyack prediction, but now ho is out agcin with his seventh prophecy. He says tho real prophet prophesies seven times, and then the event comes to puss. This is his culminating effort.
