Boston, Aug. 31 Only a few -hours more and this old world will go to the demnltion bow-wows. This statement id made on the authority of Eder A. J.

The great tragedy will be gin with a fire, against which the puny efforts of mundane fire depart ments will be as nothing. All of the peoples of the earth will be consumed in the big blaze, except those who have been born ' again, namely, the Holy Rollers. " The Rollers will enjoy the spectacle of seeing their neighbors, Protestants of other sects, Catholics, 'Jews, agnos tics and all other adherents of false religions or of none, burned to ashes, but angels will come down from heav en and carry away the Rollers, safely nestled in the folds of the angelic wings. Finally, when the world has been entirely "cleansed" by. fire, a new spirit will descend upon the earth, a garden of Eden, world-wide in extent, will spring up in a day, and the Holy Rollers will descend again and claim the vyhold world as their own. But the Rollers, instead of stomach, liver, blood, gizard and . similar internals, will be filled to the nozzle with im mortal glory, and will live forever In this worldly Arcady. , ; ? . All of the Rollers in Massachusetts are spending the day in fasting and prayer, as a preparation for the new world that is to come. Veracious re ports from several places state that some of the Rollers already have , a goodly growth of fuzz upon their shoulders. Card of Thanks.

Is hot on the trail of Frank Gotch, the world's champion. . The ! latest challenger is Ivan Padoubny, the giant Russian Cossack, who is six feet seven Inches In height and weighs 800 pounds. Pa- doubny is about thirty years old. He was born In a village with a Jawbreak ing name In eastern European Russia. Out of the last six great wrestling tournaments held In Paris Padoubny has won five and would have won thn sixth, but be was unable to be pres ent, unese tournaments are "recog nized as the blue ribbon events of the wrestling world, and giants from all over Europe throng to compete. Two years ago on the final night of the tour nament Padoubny was called up to wrestle five men ranging In weight from 250 to 400 pounds. He threw them all between 9 p. m. and midnight. These are his measurements as giv en out by his management: Neck, 24 Inches; chest, 58; waist, 40; upper arm, 22; thigh, 83; calf, 23; height, 6 feet 7 Inches; weight, 800 pounds. Be is principally known as a Greco Roman wrestler, but according to wrestlers who have met him on the mat the things he knows about foot holds and leg twisting would make Frank Gotch turn green with envy. Dr. Roller, who next to Gotch Is con sidered to be the best in this country, has seen Padoubny wrestle and says be is the best foreign wrestler be ever saw and will give Gotch the greatest tussle of his career. Roller Is now In Russia and says be will bring over Padoubny fo Gotrh next wlpter. tore Will be in Our Show Window Thursday Evening 7:30 to 8:30 Friday Alt 3:00 to 4:00 and Saturday Evening 7:00 to 8:00 Jones Makea Difference. v No use talking, Tom Jones stiffens up that Detroit team. He fields in grand shape, hits the ball hard, and he's got the stuff. You cannot find blm sticking around any infirmary If there b a chance for him to wax Into action and get into his garb. Hit In Head, Bats Good. Catcher Street of the Wasbingtons was hit on the head by a ball In De troit and has been batting good ever since. McAleor was hit on the head by a fist in Detroit," and the Washington? have been going at a fast clip ever since. .. ,i Rooting Dots Not Always Holp.
