ObserveG-Tne Sarvlcas

It's Origin and How Il Was Formerly
Observed-Tle Services.
The Jewish feast of Succoth or Taber>
nacles began last night. The name of the
festival is derived from the booths in which
the Israelites we're commanded to dwell fer
seven days. the sacred observance Of the
feast OF which is strictly enjoined. 1t was
originally the harvest festival, marking
practically the conclusion of the agricuit-
ural labors of the year, and was one Of the
three days on which the Israelite went up 60
the temple and offered from the fruits OF the
field according to his prosperity.
Usually the palm branch or Llttdv and the
cltron figure conspicuousiy in the services
in the synagogue, but as the first day falls
on the Sabbath this year these will be dis.
pensed with.
In olden days the command to dwell in
booths was literally obeyed, aud nearly
every Jewish family during the entire week
ate their meals In a succoth OF their own
that is, a room with a lattice top, across
which were laid cedars or pine boughs.
Gradually the custom passed away until
now it has become very rare.
The march Of progress has almost OBJ
liberated the day itself until the sacred OBJ
servance OF the festival is nearly q thing of
the past.
Saturday week the fall holidays will end
with the eighth day Of solemn assembly,
which, like the feast or tho Tabernacle, is

TIE SOLDIERS ARE PLEASED.

Savannah's Military Proud of Capt.
Fields Complimentary Report.
Savannah's soldiers are elated over the
complimentary manner in which Capt.
Field speaks of them in his report of the
Chickamauga encampment. The Cadets
are especially elated with the encomiums
showered upon them, and the members OF
that organization were the best
pleased men in the city yester-
day. Capt. Brooks was compli-
monted on all sides on the impression
Savannah's crack corps had made upon
such an old soldier as Capt. Field. His re-
port of the skirmish drill, which he said was
the finest he had ever seen and far beyond
what he imagined attainable, was especially
have given SO much time to this particular
branch of the school Of the soldier.
The Greens also felt happy at receiving
special mention outside of the general in
spection and it will have the effect of spur
ring them on to further Improvement.
The Guards are pleased with the report
made upon them, although they don't en-
tirely agree with Capt. Field that discipline
depends too much upon the personal char
acter of the commanding officer. The
Guards think Capt. Field was a little ir
error in dra wing such conclusions. but will
ingly overlook that for his other high
words of praise.
Savannah's soldier boys say they will
strive TO have even a superior report from
the United States officers at the next en-
campment.

A PRosPE aous PEOPLE.
Ex-senator duBignon's Impressions of
Tatrnall County.

Ex-senator duBiRnon's Impressions of
Tattnall County.
Ex-senator f. G. duBignon is back from
Tattnall county, where he went to defend
Henry l.. Futch for the murder Of Alfred
Kennedy. He says he found the feeling of
prejudice against his client very great, but
since Futchs confession the fesling has
toned down very considerably.
The statement made by the prisoner that
Kennedy fired at him first is borne out by
the fact that when the pistol of the deceased
was found one chamber was empty.
Mr.. duBIgnon reports having been
royalty treated by the people of TattnaL
1t was his first visit, but Representative
Clifton took him around and introduced
him to everybody in Reidsville. The
Tattnallites knew him by reputation, and
each We'd with the other in treating him
with the utmost hospitality.
Mr.. duBignon said Tattuall is one Of the
most prosperous counties he has ever visit ed
in Georgia. The people are all comfortably
situated as to finances; crops are in excel
lent condition, and the stock shows signs of
being well fed and well cared for. Every
body is contented and cheerful, and the
| prosperity of the county. taken as whole,
| is surprising.
What struck Mr.. duBignon more forcibly
| than anything else was the excellent
| material OF which the juries of Tattnall
county are made up. The panels, he said
are drawn from the best people, which
cannot be said Of all the country counties.

Some OF the Things it Did.

representative Clifton Erumerates
Some OF the Things it Did.
Hon. William Clifton returned from At
lsnta yesterday morning aud spent the day
in the city. The great hand-shaker seemed
delighted to get home again, and bore down
upon all his friends he met with hearty
greeting.
Mr.. Clifton did not seem to think the
last legislature had acquitted it,
self very badly, and SO expressed
himself to MORNING NEWS re-
porter. ut passed a bill fixing annual
sessions of fifty days each hereafter, ~ said
Mr.. Clifton, instead of indefinite biennIel
sessions as heretofore. I'heu it passed bills
that all charters If railroads and other
corporations should be issued by the secre-
tery OF state hereafter aud that all charters
for the Incorporation Of towns and villages
should be issued by the superior court of
the county in which the town is located.
That will lessen the work of the legislature
hereafter and will be q considerable saving
In expense to the state.
There is good deal Of complaint be>
cause of the increased taxes imposed by the
legislature, but the heavy tax rate could
not bs avoided. There was the S40O. 900 ap-
propriated TO the pensions of soldiers wild
ows. That was u constitutional amend
ment already decided by the people at the
polls, aud could not be gotten around. Then
there was over 100000 which had to be
appropriated in payment of the cost of set
temeut of the Western and Atlantic bet
terments claims. This made over $780,
COO above the usual appropriations
which had to be made up by extra taxes.
with regard to railroad legislation
think the legislature was very conservative.
The Brewer bill and every other measure
tending to the injury Of the railroads wa'
killed.
How about indorsing the Ocala plat
formP Mr. Clifton was asked. Mr.. Clifton
Is now member of the alliance.

THE COST OF RUNNING TRAINS.

Col. Baines' Address Before the Gem
eral Time Convention in New York.
Sixty-eight railroads were represented
in the meeting of the American Railway
Association, or what Is better known as the
general time convention, In New York this
eek.
Col. H. 8. Haines of the Plant system,
who presided, delivered an address on THE
Unit Of Cost for Passenger and Freight
Traffic." He pronounced the ordinary
basis for obtaining the cost by an average
rate per ton per mile and average rate of
passengers per mile to be absolutely value
less. He proposed in its place division Of
accounts based upon certain items in the
cost of train service, handling freight
expenses, classified as follows: Class
A, expenses directly affected by the amount
of traffic; b, expense indirectly affected
by the amount Of traffic; G, expense
incurred by car mileage; ID. expenses
incurred by the amount of freight loaded or
unloaded. On this basis, he urged, the
entire expenses OF operation could be
readily ascertained.
Willard H. Smith, chief of the depart
ment Of transportation of the worlds Co.
lumbar exposition, addressed the associa-
ton. A committee Of the Train Dispatch
ers' Association suggested certain changes
in telegraphIc orders, which were referred
to the committee on transportation.
Companies operating 5000 miles of road
have adopted the standard code of rules to
date, and seventeen more roads, operating
6,947 miles, have agreed to it.
. No action was taken on the subject of
lighting or heating cars. The committee
on safety appliances reported that the testi-
mony was over whelming that the danger
fr 1m high test oil used for car lighting was
unappreciable. 1t was the opinion that
steam heat would be the future method of
heating railway cars.

Hermann will play his first engagement
in Savannah in many years to-day. He is
beyond question the greatest of living nee
ronancers and sorcerers, and his perform
ances are among the most interesting Of
fored our theater-goers during the season.
This year HERMANN has entire new en-
tertainment, and he will produce several
startling novelties in the way of illusions OF
his own invention. One of these is the
famous "Strooeika." What constitutes the
charm and insures the success of Herrmann's
work is his admirable faculty OF entertain
ing his audiences while performing his diff
cult feats Of legerdemain with little comedy
interbolations and bits of by-play that serve
the double purpose of amusing his audience
and distracting their attention from his
nimble and expert sleig at ,of-hand work.
At the matinee, with which Hermann
will open his engagement here, he promises
a special performance for the entertainment
Of the little folks, besides each little one Will
receive present Of national flag as q
memento Of the occasion. The attendance
at night promises TO be large Hermann
