Until late hour last night City Treasurer
Ha1lows Office was crowded with citizens, who
dropped IN TO pay their taxes so as to vote at
persons had paid in full, and 1t was thought
that voting would be very light, for the Vir-
ginia law on this subject is very strict and no
person that has not paid his tax can vote.

moment and were eager last night to pay up
and take a hand in the election.

not honored at the time in the New York
banks, and the sale went by default. num-

sale. II is thought that the road will be ex-
tended by the new owners, and placed in first
class order.

The Feast of Weeks.

One Of the principal festivals of the Hebrews,
the Feast Of Weeks, began yesterday, and will
continue throughout to-day. II is also called
"Pentecost," from the fact that is observed on
the flftleth day after the Feast Of the Passover.
The original designation, Feast Of Weeks, was
applied because 1t occurs just seven weeks
after the Passover. 1t was the feast OF the
first fruits Of the harvest, and was character
lied by hospital liberality and acts OF benevo-
lence to the poor. Since the captivity orthodox
Hebrews In foreign lands observe the festival
two days, as stated, in commemoration of the
revelation OF the law on Sinai.
At the Eighth-street Synagogue yesterday
morning the impressive confirmation cere-
monies OF the Hebrew Church were observed.
There was alarge attendance of the friends
and acquaintances OF the young confrma nts,
and their pure white dresses, happy faces
and the pr0fusion OF beautiful flowers made
the scene one OF great beauty. The services
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Stern, and con
sisted OF responsive exercises and short re-
marks by each of the confirmants. The fol
lowing were confirmed; Rosa Goodman, Louis

To Fill a Newspaper.
Chambers Journal. /

1t is common falacy among the general
public that it must be very difficult matter to
find news to fill each days paper. So far from
this being the case the ingenuity of editors
and sub-editors is continually on the stretch to
find space for even selection of the most i'm
portant news at their disposal. In the office
of leading daily newspaper there IS often
more matter thrown into the waste basket, or
struck out of manuscript, than would suffice to
fill the paper; while interesting kilograms, for
which not only the post Office, but the cores
pondents who have sent them, will have to be
paid, almost every night, simply because it is
impossible to find a corner for them. The cal
culations of the editor, moreover, are liable to
be upset N hundred different ways. Some
great crisis, storm, crime, or disaster occurs, or
an important debate suddenly arises in parlia-
ment, or some great man dies, or there is an
extraordinary and unexpected influx of adver-
t1sements-perhaps a combination of these
and all the arrangements of the Office are cor
respondingly disturbed
