DESPAIRS Of dawn
OF The MILLENNIUM

The Rev. R. r. Martin. pastor Of the
Seventh-Day Adventist Church, at
Howland and Clayton streets, gave an
interesting discourse on The Millen-
MUM last evening before a large
congregation. In his lecture Mr.. Mar
tin stated that he had heard much of
the millennium, which was to begin in
1914, but seven months of the year
have already passed, and the predic-
tion has not been fulfilled, and de-
clared that a perusal of the daily pa
pers regarding the condition of Eur
ope does not cause him to be very
hopeful. that the one thousand years
of peace and wonderful opportunti-
ties to attain to eternal life under the
most favorable circumstance" will
take place in the remaining five
months.
These lectures on Last Day
Tokens" are given every Tuesday,
Thursday and Sunday evenings, at the
Seventh Day Adventists Church, How

are answered at the close of each SER
vice. The subject for Tuesday will

BELIEVE GANG IS
ONE OF AMATEURS

POCOMOKE CITY, Nd. Aug. "a
gang of yeggmcn, apparently the same
who have been operating in Pocomoke
City on Saturday nights for several
months, broke into the fruit and con-
fectionerv store of Mrs. Sallie Tilghman
Saturday night and after rummaging
the store and rifing the cash drawer
went upstairs in to the room where
Mrs. Tilghman was sleeping, chloro-
formed her and carried away 5000 in
cash which she had concealed under her
pillow.
Mrs Iilghman was unable to furnish
any clue as to the identity of the
thieves.
The Office of the Baltimore, Chesa-
lpeake and Atlantic Railway Company
was also broken into Saturday night
presumably by the same gang. The
agent had placed all the money in the
safe, which the thieves were unable
to open.
In the last few weeks many stores
have been entered, but the loot in each
case has been small.
Tho gang evidently is composed of
amateurs so far as safe breaking is
concerned The cash drawer in the
lobby Of tho Parker House was rified
several weeks ago and one week later
a slot machine in the same hotel was
broken into and $50 in cash taken.
The dry goods establishment Of w.

1t is calculated that $4,000 con-

Bay while the system Of transporta-

The "Success" continued its career
of infamy without change until 1852,
when swifter vessels were employed
in the transportation of convicts. She
was in that year stationed at Fort viii
Jamestown, about nine miles distant
from where Melbourne was then begin
ming to grow, as a "hulk" or floating
prison for the convicts then engaged in
building that fort. But even then she
was horror and plague spot Of iniquity.
The regime of her sailing days was
in no way improved; il anything, more
refined cruolties were perpetrated. For
example, the cleanliness and health OF
the prisoners were better looked after
and consequently the compulsory bath
was installed and into this wretche.

BEES ROUT Thieves
FROM Peach ORCHARD
Kent County Youths Have
"MumpS' and Measles
After Attack
WERE MEMBERS OF
STRAW RIDE PARTY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
sEAFORD, Del, Aug. S-When II
comes to protecting property from
thieves, the ingenuity OF Benjamin
Farrow, q farmer, cannot be sur
passed. Farrow owns one OF the
largest and best bearing peach orch
ards in the Diamond State. and 1t
is situated near Hartley with a
country road passing on either side.
The deliciousness of the Delaware
peaches makes them almost unresist-
able to travellers, and during the last
few years several hundred baskets Of
fruit have been stolen from the
orchard.
Watchmen, watchdogs and various
other things have been used to pro-
tect the orchard from depredations,
but all failed to give satisfaction.
Farrow was about to despair of his
efforts when he conceived the idea
of placing several hives Of honey bees
along the sides of the ornard ada
cent to the county roads He then
dismissed his "peachy" troubles and
dirfted peacefully into Sunderland.
But lol In the still of the night, cries
Of agony and despair aroused him.
A party of about thirty boys and
girls from a nearby town had been
strawriding, and some of the mascu-
line members of the gathering jump
ed from the wagon to gather the fruit.
Two of the beehives we're overturned
during the raid, and the busy occu-
pants resented the intrusion very ef-
fectively.
Several of the well-known young
men of that section had the worst
case Of "mumps" and measles" ever
recorded the following day. but Far
rows orchard remains untouched.
