WOSM HASHaANA.

Yesterday the Hebrews celebrated their festi-
val of Rosh Hashana, that is. the first day of the
year according to them. This day is set apart
by the Israelites as one of preparation by I'M
pressive ceremonies for the day of atonement,
which occurs ton days after Rosh Hashana. and
Is called Yum Kippa. Oh the latter festival
fasting and praying is obligatory on all believ-
ers In order that Jehovah may pardon the
people all their sins of commission or omis-
sion during the year. :, There is an an
cient legend among the Jews that on
the first day Of the year Jehovah opens the
dread book of destiny and inscrbes thereon
the fate of every Individual, and the record Is
sealed on the tenth day. Therefore, In order to
propitiate the Supreme Ruler, the Jews prepare
for that day. and usher 1t With fasting and
prayers, so that the Almighty may cast an eve
of pity aud fatherly love on his penitent people.
The observance Of these festivals may seem
puerile to the skeptics. who In this era OF pro.
gross and artificial acqu rements and habits Of
Judging laugh at tradition and treat with irony
the hallowed legends Of old. But when we
reflect that forty centuries ago the Hebrews
same faith in that tradition as the Israelites Of
spect is due to belief that has outlived the
countless changes and revolutions Of the world
and still remains observed from the time OF
Moses to the present day. Rosh Hashana and
Yum Kippa. the first day Of the year and the
day OF atonemept. are dogmas symbolical OF
the belief Of @ nation whose religion has had
its existence In the dark and mysterious ages
ere yet the children of God had entered the
promised land.

M0w lc Worked ON the People OF Hands
boz @, Miss.
OF all the many ridiculous and even inhuman
proceedings which have been inspired by the
yellow fever scare, none Of them parallel that
transaction which took place in Handsboro I,
Miss, last week. The circumstances Of the
affair as related by parties who arrived in the
city yesterday are as follows:
4 man, an Italian. was taken sick with what
was and is supposed to have been the. yellow
fever. He was single man and lived alone IN
small house. So great was the fear of the
disease entertained by the people of the town
that the moment it was stated that the unfor-
tunate man had the yellow lever be was desert
cd and the house in which he lay sick was
Stunned and avoided. and he was allowed to
die without attendance of any kind. no one at
all going near him..
After 1t became known that he was dead an
effort was made to have him buried but the effort
was not successful, and the body, 1t is said. re-
NAMED in the house until 1t mortified, and the
stencil from 1t became unbearabie. By SUBJ
scription from the citizens sufficient money was
raised to purchase from the owner the build
ing in which the body lay, and the house was
then set on fire. and 1t well as tie body of the
dead man was consumed.
The affair Is in, every particular most horri-
bic one, and shows TO what extent fear can carry
an entire community. The average man. how
ever, cannot r. aIiae or appreciate thar condi-
ton of panic which can rob tho entire popula-
ton of a town OF all feelings Of humanity and
charity and 1t will for many year be remeEa
bored against the citizens and the town of
Handsboro.

The total number Of cases as reported by the
Board OF Health ON Friday at IL M. was 8462,
and on Saturday at the Same hour 1t was oo21.
Now, yesterday the new cases reported were
iba, which, added to si82. the previous total,
would foot up 662t. instead Of 902i, as pub
lished. 1t Is necessary to explain this seeming
increase of over 500 from one day to the other
Ia order that our people should not get
alarmed For some time the Board Of Health
has been In the habit Of rejecting all old cases
were placed on tho books but not published in
the papers.
Yesterday the rejected cases were added to
the total and In consequence the whole mum.
ber OF oases was sweled to 9a21. But our peo-
pie should not rely on tho figures showing the
total of new cases. as they are entirely too un-
reliable, Physicians are much occupied
now to report every case Of fever that they at
tend and 1t can safely be said that at least
25 900 people have had the yellow fever In this
city, though the real number will only be
known afr the epidemic Is over. when O cor
rect estimate can be made.
Tho only criterion Of tho decrease or increase
of the disease, Ia TO watch the report OF deaths
which ara perfeotly reliable and correctly re-
ported. We should entirely ignore the new
crease, or hopefulness at their decrease. but we
should Judge Of the course Of the epidemic by
the deaths alone. The report Of new cases
absolutely amounts to nothing. and gives no in
dications Of the rise or fall or progress OF the
disease.
