suceo,h, or the Feast of Booths.

This evening at sunset the Hebrews will
initiate the last of a long serie. of their fes-
rivals. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of
Tishri, upon which is celebrated the Festi-
val OF the Tabernacle, also called the Au-
tumnal Feast. The festival is OF eight days
DURATION the first and the last of which will
be observed as holidays. The intervening
days are known as halt-feast days.
(See Lev. 80 The holiday is rec.
ognized as religious thanksgiving day.
The teachings of this feast inculcate the
doctrines of charity, reminding those who
are happy and prosperous in the possession
of n full share OF this worlds goods, never
to forget the less fortunate, the poor, the
needy. 1t also teaches the Omniprescnce
of God, and the One in whom all trust
should be put. The American lsraelites, OF
all others, have reason to observe this feast
rs one of rejoicing and thanksgiving, from
the fact that, first, here justice and broth
erly love reigns supreme; second, that hui
man rights and liberty are not only mot
toes, but practical truths; third, that this
is the land in which every man is the
equal of his fellow; fourth, that here
each and every one is guaranteed the
rights of life, liberty and happiness and,
fifth, that that here the citizen can worship
God according to the dictates OF his con-
science, and, therefore, they sing unto the
God Of creation praises and psalms for His
eternal goodness, His everlasting kindness
The services at the Jewish houses of wor-
ship will be very impressive and interesting
and the temples all over the country, as
well as Temple Emanuel here, will be
adorned with plants, fruits, flowers and
evergreens, This evening service will be-

Some Of the papers are commenting on
the fact that so many young men are run
ming away just previous to the time set for
their weddings. The Philadelphia Times
has an editorial on the subject, and sug-
gests that the fact arises from the boys dis
covering that they are about to be married,
not from love, but for the purpose of being
worked, to death to keep the prospective
wives in luxury and idlcness, STILL it is
extremely ungallant in the young men to
first raise their intonded's hopes ofeaso
aud luxury so high, only to rudcly dash
them down. 1t is too utterly cruel,

and laid before them set OF drawings for the new
city post office and District buildings, which they
propose should be built on the square now oceu

story stone building, with tower at the corner OF

street, $50 feet high, and a smaller tower at thu
corner OF 9th and Louisiana avenue; the city post
Office to be located in the half near the Marke;

ment Offices The lower story plan shows an open
court in the center, accessible by wagons through
an entrance on street and outlet on 9th street,
where the mails can be unloaded and taken into
the wagons which carry them to the railroads.
The cost OF the whole is estimated at about one
million OF dollars for the purchase of the square
and erection of the building The square. ii is
