DOWNFALL OF A PROPHET
New York Commanltr Relieves Its
Feel I a as by Cfcaalac Hlsa Oat
of Town.
The end of the world, which was to
have occurred December 27 Just on the dot
of Mgh noon, with the disturbance cen
tered Just above and below Nyack, N. Y.,
was indefinitely postponed at 12:06 o'clock
because of the unexpected translation to
nother sphere of the prophet who had
projected this day of doom, Lee J. Spang
ler of York, Pa. There happened to b
a warrant out for the arrest of prophet
Bpangler as a public nulaance contempo
raneoualy with hla announced migration
to a higher plane than that upon which
Nyack stands, and the warrant haa not
yet been served In Nyack, at least.
Despite the absence of the prophet.
v.hlch he had previously arranged to
account for on the Elijah hypotheosl
but which was really accomplished with
the help of a horse and buggy, fifteen or
twenty women and little girls, dressed
all In white, awaited the crack of doom in
tha Oak Hill cemetery, high up on th
snow covered slope of South mountain
back of Nyack. There waa a dogfight,
one of those who had faith and much
weight fainting beoauae of the steepness
of th grade, and that was all.
Some time near midnight on Saturday
Spangler, who had heard about the war
rant, told Mrs. Henrietta Murdock, th
high priestess of the saints who gathered
In Nyack to await the rolling up of the
sky aa a scroll, that the Lord had called
him and that he was going to go right
up to heaven In advance of the general
cataclysm. Then he went right out of the
back door of Mrs. Murdock's house on
lower Main atreet, over a back fence and
Into a buggy.
Many of the prophet's followers did not
go to bed at all Saturday night, determined
to be In at tha first blast of th trumpet
of the destroying angel. At the first sign
of dawn, a party of the faithful all women
performed their ablutions nnd put on
white dresses, "specially made for the oc
caslon." Then they foregathered. After
that they walked in procession to the
railway station to meet a party of saints
who were expected by th early morning
train.
In due time the train arrived. Not a
saint waa seen unless It be the milkman
arriving with tha early morning supply.
Behind the ."faithful" waa a crowd.
Thla was composed of about 160 rude
cltutens. They made fun of the disciples
of Spangler when no aalnts appeared.
Undlacouraged, however, the white-robed
ones, followed by th rude citizens,
marched sorrowfully to Oak Hill ceme
tery. Why there, no one seems to know,
unless It be that the cemetery appealed
to them as a happy bunting ground. Ar
riving, tha procession attracted the at
tention of Superintendent Halsted. Not
having been posted aa to fta object, and
not liking the looks of the ttO followers
of the white-robed ones, Halsted drov all
from the ground.
Many of tlio 150 had eggs which. It
was rumored, had been sent up specially
for the occasion from New York City.
The rumor was enough for Halsted; h
didn't propose to try the eggs.
Leaving the cemutery the faithful Jour
neyed to the South mountain. There a
large congregation had asaembled. All
watted for the trumpet call of the angel,
but after a while they got tired, aa
nothing happened. Then they dispersed.
Spangler got what la known in th ver
nacular aa "cold fuel at the last mo
ment. Whether or not he thought that
Nyaok was or was not a fit place In which

Which means, of course, that there baa
bean a decrease la tha production of
liquor In thla country during the last
year.
As a result of tha prohibition campaign,
combined with an Increased price of grain,
thra was a decrease In th productloa of
Intoxicating spirits of 40.000,000 gallon
for the year.
Not that Uncle Sam has stopped drink
Ing entirely; he haa unly determined to be
more moderate. And he haa been moder
ate to auch an extent that th quantity
of liquor which ha haa rejected la equal
to th displacement of six battleship of
the new North Dakota type.
Imagine Uncle Sam sitting down to a
table with this vast quantity of liquor
beside him. Can you conceive It T An i
amount of win and whisky and brandy
which would be equal to the displacement
of six battleships.
Or, If you cannot conceive In your mind
th amount of water equal to auch dis
placement. Imagine a tank 174 feet 10
Inches long, 174 feet 10 Inches' high and
174 feet 10 Inch wide, filled to th brim
with Ita rejected liquor!
The report of thia amasing decrease In
th consumption of liquor comes from
Commissioner Caper of the Internal rev
enue bureau. Th total production dur
ing th year amounted to 124,8,740 tax
gallon, which waa 40,000,000 gallons less
than the amount produced during th aim.
