THE END OF THE WORLD.
MANY TIMES PREDICTED, BUT AS MANY
TIMES POSTPONED.
y/REDKrESFons ?"?F MR. STtTZKE IN rTttTTUSM
PROrHF/MK.*? OF l'KSTKl .Tb'S.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Despite tho announcement mad* by Mr
Stutzko thai Ihe world vas t?. cune to an end
last Wednesday It still continues to "r.dl on"
According to his statement, the ice at the North
Tole waa to roach t.? the sun, and being melted
would cause a so<-?>!.d deluge, Th?? mean dis?
tance of the sun from ihe earth being a nulo
le?>s than :?:'>.ihn ?,??? mltea hoar mnny cubi??
feet of Ice would be required to ron? h from
the North Pole to iho sun? This is a question
Mr. Stutzke should bo propnrod t?. answer If h<
wishes to verify his somewhat startling stat??
ment. According to the latost newts, we are
assured that the event has been poatpon?*d for
a month, probably t?> allow !he necessary
amount of i<?.? t?-> collect at tli?? polar regione!
To the credit of the present generation be |t
said thai .Mr. StUttke and his band of follow?
ers were s.? greatly In the minority as t?> cause
more amusement than alarm Th.? day when
such an announcement would create a feeling of
terror has passed away, and the teachings ?if
science have made the world less credulous.
Nevertheless, as lonp as It exists, there will
doubtless be Mother ShlptOM t<? announce Its
extermination
In the year lOOd A D. Mother Bhlpton had
prophesied that the end of the world was t.? bo
brought about Indirectly by means ?>f Satan,
M'ho had been chained for ? thousand years,
and was to be loosened when the thousand
years were complete. His temporary triumph
was to lead to the s? comi cornine; of Christ.
the Day ot Judgment and to the end of all
things terrestrial. The anticipation of these
events caused natural phenomena, such as arc
.?? , urring at all times, to assume a more porten?
tous aspect. Every motoorologloal and celestial
phenomenon was ?tr.xtoualy watched as the pos?
sible precursor of the coming catastrophe. A
comet appeared and waa visible for nine days,
and every one h->?;an to ask, "Is this !he end?"
A meteor was seen, which was described in
the following graphic manner:
'The heavens opened, and a kind of (laming
torch fell upon the earth, leaving behind a long
track of light, like the path of ? Hash of light?
ning. Its brightness was so greal thai i' iricht
ened not only those who were In the fields, but '?
even those who were in th.? housea As this |
OpM Ing In the skv slowly closed mi ? saw with '
horror the figure of a dragon, whoae frot were ?
blue and whose h^ad seemed to grow larger ami
burger."
This description was llln-etrated with a win
derful pletore. Then la the meteor track ar- .
ranged so as to res.mile th?? figure of a dragon,
and lest unimaginative people should fail to sec j
the resemblance, a dragon to match Is set he- :
side the celestial apparition; nnd this creature
la labelled for the benefit of the Inexperience,
"Serpent with the blue feet."
In the* days when pc.pl ? were full of simp!??
faith and suporstltb.n men believed that tho
deluges and conflagrations that took place were
Intended for the regeneration of th?? world. Afi?>r
each catastrophe the human race was aupp '*<od
to be better, but gradually falline away from
this haijppy stato It was overwhelmed with new
disasters and threatened deatru ti?.n Th.?
Egyptians taught that In consequence ol the
gradually increasing wl< k dness of men toward
the termination of each era tho gods could beur
It no longer, and a shock of th<? elements or a
deluge was sent to overwhelm them, afler which
the golden age was reno wed an the ?arth.
In 1180 astrologers gravely announced that
th<* world would ie destroyed by the conjunc? ,
tlon of all the planets ?Some yeartl later another
alarm was raised, and It was announced that |
Antichrist was born In Babylon, and. therefore, ;
all the human race would be destroyed. In 1".o'_' .
Simon fJoulart gav- ar appalling account of
terrible sights s?"-n In Assyria, where "a moun?
tain opened, and showed a setoli with lettors of
Greek, 'The end of the world is <<>ming ' " But
rW the ?roar paFsi.ir In safely, a famous astrologer
S ?predicted It attain In IHM, and th<? |XM>ple were
W so terrified that they ?ought for refuge In ihe
churches. Some people actuallv mad?? th?ir
wllis. seeming to forget the fact that this was
a somewhat unnece sary ?performance if th?*
end of the world was at hand
stofTb-r. one of the most famous mathema?
ticians of ISui ?1??? In the sixteenth century, pre?
dicted a universal deluge for 1S24, which was
to take place during the month ?>f February, I
bei ause Jupiter, Saturn and Mars were then
together in ih.? sien ??f Pis. -s ?When "heae tld- ?
ings were spread al.r ?ad through Europe, Asia
and Africa mnny wer.? filled with consterna- ?
tlon, and in th?? maritime provlncea of Oer
many people sold th tir lands for verj little to j
th?MC who had more sens.? and b'ss credulity.
Sonic? bulli boats )ik<? arks, and a doctor >>f
Toulouse built a lar.'?? ark for his family an?!
frlenda However, fie month of February came
and not a drop ol iam fell, and tin- astrologers
wem very much nuzxl?*d.
In the year 17";; it was reported that l.alaude,
on?- of the abliest matheinatl? lana ?.? the <la. , had
pffedtcted th?? ?id ..f th?? world, as the ruult of
a collision ?between the comet and the earth.
No one ran mj how This atat? meni arose, but II
excited great terror among those who were un?
able to distinguish 1,?????????? fact and fiction.
In \y.\'l It was announced that Blela'a come? of
ISL'li would reto: ? thai ><-ar, and. t!,at 'he Pat!,
of the com??! very nearly Intersected the path
Of iho earth. This suggested an approaching
collision between the earth ami the ei met. al?
though iiothlnK of the kind was Implied, but
nevertheless there were man) ? ? ? - < ? j ? l - - who were
filled with terror nt ihe thought In I?V81, a? -
cording to anotner prophecy mad?? by Mother
Shlpt?>n, ih<? world was to come to an end, but
as the prophecy was noi verified we must look
f..r Its fulfilment at a later date As nothing of
Importane?? occurred ?n that year, a dismal re?
port was circulated to th?? effort 'hat the cornel
of 1M3. which was supposed lo hav?? returned
in iw>. would come ba< k again In IM??, and
brlnic about tho end of the world. But the
fears e*ite-.-talne?l with ?regard to the r-turn of
the comet of 1K4:{ or- without foundation, and
the world mr.y await with cali.miss Ihe future
return <?f this comet. Som?? believe thai th??
world will cune to an end in 20(10, A. I>. which,
according to them, will mak?? (?.lam years from
the creation; followed by I.imhi years of millen?
nial Sabbath.
In reality, as we know- ? ?thing of th*? origin
of the earth, so wo know nothing Of tho eg<l
of the world, and While selene?? teaches, us that
other worlds thp.n ours are passing oui of ex?
istence, yet others ar?? taking their place, so that
men may res? content in the Men thai life
eternal Is universal. ?Rather this than say with
the poet:
Oh star-eyod Science, hast thou Wandered
Through the Kigns of heaven.
To waft us horn?? the message of despair ?

Very similar to this was the answer of th?? doctor
to th?? present writer, who ????? carried a commis?
sion to him from one of the foremost msgaslnei ?if
1 the day.
"What shall 1 write about-" he asked.
"Anything you please It would be Interesting to
have vour opinions <?r. Ihe probable future of
1 music -the art itself. What Is t?> ?become of it?
What changes do you think will take place in it'"'
"I'm noi the seventh son of a seventh son I

"Well, then, write about the past your contempo?
raries, living and dead; your own labors and expe?
riences."
I'm not a ilog, that I should return to my vomit.
, I liave no interest In the past."
He promis.?,! to think Ihe matter over, however,
and give an answer on his return lo New-York
from his concert tour. The mattet scemi t" have
oc urn il to him again when In Baltimore, bul Ihe
way In which he answered Ihe requesl was lo con ?
posi a short musical joke, a "Scherslno alia
Polka," to which lie gave ihe title "Saraaparlllu"
In allusion to a humorous story lie had told when
taken to task for a confessed fondness for thai
beverage, and in which he mixed up an original
dance them??, the "Grand March" from "Norma"
and a bit of "Yankee Doodle." This he dedicated
to the writer and gave it t?> him In lutograph, with
? the request thai he be released from the proffered
commission
It dl?] not require a very intimato acquaintance
with Yon Billow to deteel that. In spite of tlin

With pleasure announce that the firm has been reorganized.
and hope to again enjoy the very cordial relations with the host of Customers
whose liberal patronage in the past enabled us to conduct the largest Furni
|S| | ture concern in the world, Owing to the termination of our lease and in
||| ? ability to secure suitable location we were reluctantly forced to retire. We
|3J ! resume Wednesday, September 9th, under most favorable auspices. Our new
hi : location?directly in the heart of the retail centre?is easy of access. The
improvements are extensive, and many new lines have been added. In fact,
we now offer every home requisite. During our retirement we never lost
sight of the market, but familiarized ourselves with its every movement, and
UH quietly purchased all the select goods that were offered at low figures. There
Ijll fore, next Wednesday will be a red-letter day in our history, and every depart- fjjj j
ilm ment will be noted for bargains. Our new establishment, new stock, new ideas, *5* *
