Awful prophecies for France
Noted Woman Seers Who Fortold Faure`s Death and Loubet`s Election Predict Strange and Dire Cataclysms
Sterling Heilig, the veteran Parisian correspondent of the American Newspaper press, writes as follows from Paris under recent date: Paris is to run red with blood in 1900. Ancient prophecies threaten the end of the country. Modern clairvoyants and astrologists agree in predicting a terrible upheaval that is to being in France.

That of Mile Coudon, which was been several times repeated was given to the world more than a year ago. Both these present day seers agree in insisting on the blood agitation through which France must pass.
"Yes, it is true that I fort old the death of Felix Faure", Said Mme. Thebes yesterday in a short but sensational interview. "But do not forget that I also announced deaths by assassinations. The astral influences of the year are deplorable. It will not pass without great and terrible events." More than this the general public will not learn from Mme. Thebes, the high priestess of aristocratic horoscopes, the best paid prophetess of modern times.
The warnings of Mile. Coudon on the contrary, are given to the public unreservedly, and their character is so remarkable that the greatest skeptics are astonished at them.

"Perhaps" they say, "there may be something in it, after all.
