AsBURY's NEW MODE OF WORSHIP.
Went Into Effect Sunday and Seems to be Re-
ceived With General Favor.

The new order of things at the
Methodist Church in reference to the
methods of worship went into effect
Sunday with the simplicity of launch
of big ship, which is usually de-
scribed by reporters as gliding
smoothly down the ways to cher native
element" 1t was executed as natur-
ally by full house as if it had been
their stated custom. The pastor, Rev.
V. S. Collins, however, preceded the
services by statement in reference to
the change that it was not something
new, but only in conformance with the
mode of worship as formulated by the
General Conference of 1896. 1t was
not a getting away from Mr.. Wesley,
but getting back to him who besides
having much more form in his worship
which the congregation took part in,
reading prayers, &C., but who alw ays
preached in a gown.
The order is as follows: Voluntary
on the organ, singing of the first
hymn, Apostles Greed, prayer, anthem,
reading of psalm followed by singing
Gloria Patri, scriptural lesson,
second hymn sung standing, then ser
mon, short prayer for blessing OF the
Word, and berediction.
The sermon Sunday morning was OF
the Modern Man" and if quaint in
some of the illustrations, was not with
out pungency in making the applica
tion.

WATKINS ORCHESTRA CONCERT.

mastery over the strings, and demon
strated the various and difficult meth
ods of performing upon the instru-
ment. He responded to an encore,
and was presented with horseshoe of
flowers"
This is rare opportunity to hear
such music and should not be missed.

Adjournment WIS Made Yesterday In Order
That Court Might Attend Funeral of Ex'
Gov. StOckIey-Cases Disposed Of.

The Kent County Court met in |
Dover about noon on Monday, with
fewer persons in attendance, it is said,
than has been the case for the first
day i'll number of years. This lack
of interest would indicate fewer break
ings of the law than usual. The Grand
Jury was the first to get down to busi-
ness, and examined a half dozen or
more cases that afternoon. No ses-
sion was held yesterday. The Chief
Justice said he had high respect for
his old friend. Ex-Governor Charles
Stockly, and the court wishing to at
tend the funeral at Georgetown, ad-
jOurned the session of our court until
to-day. The Hearn murder case of
Harrington, will come up this after
noon.
All the witnesses in the Bending

mond valued, at $4OO This is the case
that caused stir during the exciting
closing day of the Legislature, when

Hughes pleaded not guilty. Senator
Kenney, who represents him asked that
the trial be deferred until tomorrow

fenced to one years Imprisonment and
twenty-five lashes by Chief Justice
Lore. He pleaded guilty to the theft
of a coat from Warden Ward, who had
befriended him. For the horse blan

CONNECTING DELAWARE TOWNS.
Construction of the Milford..W Woodland Beach
Trolley Make a Move For Complete Line
From Sussex to Philadelphia.

Ex-United States Senator Richard
r. Kenney and Mr.. James Lord, of
Kent county, Delaware, were at the
Hotel Rennert, Baltimore, Friday
night and filed on Saturday bond for
800, 900 through the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Company of
Baltimore City with the City Council
of Dover, Del. At that point the Della
ware General Electric Railway Com
pany proposes to begin the building of
an electric railway system connecting
Milford, Frederick, Magnolia, Rising
Sun, Camden, Dover, Leipsic, Flor
ence, Smyrna and Woodland Beach.
Senator Kenny in speaking of the
enterprise, says the Baltimore Sun:
"We have been working on this
project for two years with view
to giving better railway facilities and
cheaper transportation to the people of
Kent and Sussex counties. The enter
prise is now fully launched and the
work of building this road is to be
started at once. The route will be
about 35 miles long and will pass
through the prosperous part of Della
! ware.
The road will be bonded for 81, 900,
900 and these bonds have already been
marketed by the KnickerbOcher Trust
Company, of New York City. 1t is the
intention of the promoters of the en-
terprise to use the road for both freight
and passenger service. Woodland
Beach, the nothern terminus of the
line, is a well-known Delaware resort
and is largely patronized during the
summer. This property will be greatly
improved with a view to attracting ex
cursionists.
The electric railway that is to gridi
ron lower Delaware, will take its mo
tive power from the third rail system
instead of having the overhead wire
The third rail will be placed in tn
centre of the track and fed by fee,
wire running under the cross ties
from which the electricity is drawn by
a magnet in the moving car. Tn
third rail is not live rail as is feare
by many and is not charged eithe
ahead of or behind the car. 1t is tn
coming propelling power for electri
cars and rapid transit.

Mr.. John r. Cameron, who had
been sexton of Asbury M. E. Church
for twenty-five years Sunday, was
given a genuine surprise as me-
mento of the anniversary. AT the
close of the last hymn the congrega-
tion was asked by the pastor to be
seated for a moment, when Geo. M.
Stevenson seized him by the arm and
conducted him to the chancel, Mr.. Cam
eron not knowing "what was up"
Pastor Collins in a neat little speech
referring to his faithful services pre-
sented him with package containing
$3.50 which Mr.. Cameron modestly
received, remarking by way of ac-
acknowledgement, that he had tried to
do his duty and should continue to do
so as long as he was entrusted with
the place.
