COMING OF MILLENNIUM.
Alleged Prophecy Of an Infant Nea,
Warsaw, in Russia.

I'm one years s time there will be a great
war between the world powers, and in three
years We will witness the coming Of the
millennium"
This startling prophecy, 1t is declared,
was a short time ago made by male child
only three months old born in small VIII
lage near Warsaw, Russia. Mr.. S. Berlin,
a 7th street merchant, recently received a
letter from his father in Russia relating
the incident. According to the letter the
mother left the home for few moments
and told her seven-year-old daughter to
look after the babe.
For some reason the little girl became
frightened and began to cry, when, accord
ing to the letter, she was startled to hear
the three-months- baby address her plain
ly with the words: Don't cry; mamma will
be back SOON" This unexpected speech
from such source scared the girl still
more. and she ran out of the house in
search Of her mother, to whom she rela ted
the incident. The mother Immediately went
in to the baby and began questioning him.
and finally the boy spoke again and said:
Send for the rabbi"
The rabbi was Immediately called and
several of the ne:ghbors who had noticed
the excited state of affairs about the house
also dropped in to ascertain the cause of
the commotion. When the rabbi entered
refused to speak until he and the rabbi
were left alone, and when the room had
been cleared it is said, he gave utterance
to the prophecy mentioned previously.
A few days after Mr.. Berlin received his
letter with the story of the wonderful ch Id
another gentleman In Washington received
a letter from different party relating the
same incident as that told in the first let
ter. 1t is said that the prediction has ere
ated great CONSERVATION among the Jews
of Russia, as. naturally, it was calculated
to do.
Several Hebrews told a reporter for The
Star that. according to the Torah the
millennium is due in about three or four
years, and thsy seemed much impressed by
the reports that have come from Russia
They consider this prophecy a vertical
ton or reminder of the approaching reign
of the Jews. The destruction of the Ma
hometan and anti-Christian kingdoms and
the restorat on of the seed of Abraham to
the favor of God. they say, are all that is
necessary to the Introduction of the millen-
MUM.

THE NAVAL VETERANS
Feature Of G. A. R. Encamp-
ment Omitted.
THE REASONS GIVEN
SUGGESTION OF BATTLE SHIP
CAME FROM THE PRESIDENT.
Meeting Of Committee on Music to Be
Held This Evening - Notes
From Headquarters.
THE REASONS GIVEN

The prospective attendance of naval vet
Grams on the Forthcoming encampment of
the G. A. r. occupied the attention of the
officials at encarnpment headquarters this
morning. The matter came up through an
interview given out yesterday by Col. Will
lam H. Michael. chief clerk of the State
Department and chairman of the subcom-
mittee on the entertainment of veteran sea-
explained why it would be impossible to
construct a model of some famous wooden
battle ship, as suggested recently by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. When this interview was
published this morning several persons ex-
pressed fear that the absence of a battle
ship might lessen the attendance of navy
veterans. From this point of view the mat
ter took OD an acute interest for Chairman
Warner and Secretary Bulkley of the citi-
zens executive committee
1t was agreed at headquarters that the
construction of a battleship on the White
Lot would be most desirable adjunct to
the regular encampment. To build such
model would cost, however, not less than
5000, which is much more than the CHI
Zens' committee could expend on one fea-
ture of the naval veterans program of en-
tertalnment Moreover, it is said, it was
distinctly understood a the outset of the
encampment preparations that no ship or
any similar structure to be built, and
that all the original announcements to the
naval veterans We're made with this under
standing. The idea of another ship like the
model OF the kearSarge constructed ten
years ago came from President Roosevelt
1t would afford the committee the greatest
pleasure. as Mr.. Bull<ley stated this morn
ing, to act on any suggestion the President
might make But in this instance the COM
mlttee is altogether without the necessary
funds.

Repeal Of Retirement Law.

about one of the first things the new

will be to ask for the repeal of the present
odious retirement law, which gives to a
man who was educated at government eX-

all enemies, both foreign and domestic,
and who afterward fought four years to
destroy that flag, retirement for life with
the rank and emouments of a major gen.
eral, while the faithful government clerk,
who served in the Union army four long
years-and the balance of his life to the
present time in the government service-iS
given discharge, with a kick and curse
for his fealty and fidelity.

Loss Of Over $1,000 Caused Last
Night

A fire last night in the clothing store Of
Block & Co., at 625 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest damaged the stock to the ex-
tent Of over $S,oOO. The blaze was discover
ed at about $40 o'clock, and 1t is believed
to have been caused by live electric wire
coming In contact with the ceiling in the
rear of the store.
The flames spread rapidly, but the fire.
men succeeded in keeping them confined
to the first two floors. The smoke was
dense and greatly interfered with the fire
fighters, and the rear entrance and upper
windows had to be broken in.
Smoke and water, it Is said worked
most of the damage to the stock, which
was covered ty insurance.
