The cleansing of the world would seem to be a task too gigantic for the hnman mind to undertake or to imagine. Nevertheless there lioa rarely been an epoch in the history of our poor old mother wanting its prophet, its thaumaturger, to predict either her utter destruction or her absolute renovation.

Then his friends carry him quickly to IkJ, where he remains for hours mute and unconscious. William Miller, founder of the sect of Adventists, is, however, the most noted as well as one of the earliest of tlie prophets America haa produced. He is also the most interesting personality. His works still survive and his character is still held in esteem. Born in Pittsfield, Mass., in February, 1783, he came of good Revolutionary lineage, as his strong features denote. In the war of 1813 he wns a recruiting officer and a captain at Plattaburg. Although he was religiously educated, in later life, after having gained a competency on his Green Mountain farm, he retrograded into unbelief, and the works of Hume, Voltaire and Tom Paine were his favorite reading. But he became converted at Low Hampton, N. Y., and began the study of the Bible. At this he persevered without assistance for many years, and at length in 1831 he rose from the perusal of its pages sincerely Imbued with the belief that he had the correct interpretation of the parables, and nnder the solemn conviction that to him had been given the key to unlock the prophetical numbers. lie set out at once to proclaim to a doomed world that in twelve years the end of all tilings would come, that sometime between March 21, 1813, and March 21, 18U, Jesus Christ would appear in person to judge the world. Wherever he went multitudes flocked to hear him, and many were persuaded by his lectures and the charts he used to illustrate them, whereon were depicted in terrifying form the beasts of the apocalypse. The time finally set for the total destruction was the great day of the atonement, or Oct. STAGE ROBBERS CAUGHT. They Are Typical California Rond Agents anil Hart Had Kecsrds.

OUE PRICE TO We -A- Joseph Smith, Andrew Jackson Davis, William Miller, Fredeiic Olcott, Mrs. Miner, Jemima Wilkinson, are a few of the names of men and women who have assumed tlie prophet's role. Tittered their predictions while gathering In followers and money the latter always seeming to be necessary in these cleansing operations and made themselves notHble figures in the history of fanatlulsm. The methods of these people and others who have not attained an equal celebrity-le- ss by their own fault than by tlie stolididissimty of the unlieliuvcrs- - are not wryseems to ilar. In fact the office of prophet be one which destroys all originality in its inception.

The this broad faoed, rotund prophet is fa said to reJohn D. Kauffman. semble somewhat in pemon, and exceedingly in fluency and rapidity of speech the lute President Gaufleld. About ten years have elapsed since Brother Kauffman saw wealth and renown in the denunciation of the earth far surpassing what could be gained by accepting U for what ft is and tilling bis forty acres of it. The scene of this assumption is, in a rude way, not without it dramatln aide. He was sitting on his own porch when suddenly or ut most with a few premoniLis consciousness fled, tory twitching and be began iicilrr.uijM.if of astranga gionerisB which alarmed the goou, wholesome wife by his side. Next he fell on bis knees, and began preaching. and PMjiltg in an insnirsd fashion. if this was n sort of 'triai performance it must have been satisfactory to him, for his wife was alarmed almost to hysterics, and try as she might she could neither calm him nor herself. Now the publlo performances were in order, and accompanied by Mrs. Kauffman and his cousin, Mr. Stutsman, he started on a little tourof the neighborhood preaching and predicting the end of the world near the year 2000. In his methods Kauffman preserves a certain order. When the faithful Assemble they find him stretched out on a lounge in the room of the meeting, and while they are singing and praying he maintains a rigid attitude. Then his arm moves upward and halts immovable as a statues. This is the signal, and two of the elder assist him to the floor, and he begins his rambling discourse. He talks in two languages, Germn and English, speaking longest in the tongue which is understood by the majority of his hearers. Recently he journeyed as far east as Pennsylvania, and he had a successful tour through the rolling Lancaster county, fifty miles west of Philadelphia, among the Amish Mennonites, Many wonderful things are related by eye witnesses among these simple people; how the prophet witl dosed eyes, still in the deep trance, recognizes the people in the room, seem to read their thought, etc., and how on one occasion when a blind man whom he had never seen before eat among his hearers Kauffman went directly to his side and talked for half an hour lout blindness, physical and spiritual, quoting the Scriptures have to aay on the subject. His favorite theme is Noah the prophet, whose place he has assumed in the present degenerate day and generation- - Hut the fec. -XiXj are never Undersold. Established 1864. lit A TRANCK. tion. Out of the trance state he is rood ns t, retiring and hesitating in speech. It is pnly when the command to speak is heard within him that he divesta himself of simple John Kauffman and develops into the second Noah.

Since A WILLIAM MILLER, thelesa disooursed fluently and gracefully while in a trance upon medical, psychological and historical subjects. His first trance, wbioh lasted sixteen hours, fell on March, 1844, and he then learned all he ever knew, and from the highest authority, as he claimed spiritual beings who had been famous teachers on earth, and who had not, in theirsublimated state, forgotten how to teach. For Davis at least there was a royal road to learning. Jn 1845, while clairvoyant, he dictated a h book of 700 pages to Rev, William in New York. A later book is "The Approaching Crisis, which contains startling assertions concerning things in heaven and earth, and sets down the end of the world to occur on July 4, 1880 a choice which shows that Mr. Davis was patriotic as well as willing to take the assistance of email boys, firecrackers, etc., to assist him in raining down fire and brimstone. A remarkable woman in many ways was Jemima Wilkinson, born in Rhode Island in 1780, fibs wa the daughter of a rigid Calvinist, and at the age of 35 died, as far as appearances went. The bodyipM carried to the church, and in the midst of the funeral services the congregation was startled at hearing three loud knocks from within the coffin, and terrified a moment later to see Jemima throw off tha lid and it upright. She declared herself to have died, and (q have been resurfected and redeemed from corruption through the power pf God. She claimed tq possess from that time all the attributesof Jesus Christ, and pallor herself the Outbeaming of God on parth. fills hod a numlierof followers, but their enthusiasm wo sqmewhat dampened when Jemima declared against SH marriage and giving in marriage. Nevertheless a band of about 900 followed her to a beautiful tract of country in western New York, which had lately been bought of the Indiana, and where, six miles from the town of Geneva, she founded a little colony, calling it Jerusalem. She ijmwnd in male attire and created great astonish mnnt and awe among the Indians by her eloquence and some simple feats of legerdemain she performed by aid of the steel and magnet. The colony flourished, and she lived respected and beloved until be year 1830, when, to the surprise of her Jgilowerf the died in earnest, and the sect i She founded wa beftRl pf no mors.
