raising fruit have proved q failure OF late

a decided gain. Twenty years ago the adj

raising plums, the curcullo rendering 10 i'm

Corn was easy early, owing to the fact
that the weather map failed to show any
serious frost anywhere IN the corn belt.
This encouraged short selling. and there
was less demand to cover. The opening
price of October was 594c. but it at once
began to break and eoon sold at 5Salc.
Then, on a report that a cold wave had APP
peared in the Northwest and was moving
toward the corn belt, there was n little
scare, which was helped along by vigorous
buying by the clique. and October jumped
to tOlsc. But the excitement sOon 81 bsided
and the price fell back to 59ssc. During
the last hour corn developed good deal OF
weakness on a suspicion thai he clique
was quietly selling all the market would
take. and October after touching 6O4c,
broke to SOC, rallied to 59l2c and closed at
59Ac.

Training q Colt.


We have atwo-year- gelding offspring
of as vicious mother as ever kicked at the
stars. She was simply q perfect example
of horse total depraviJy. She would kick
with her hind legs if you but touched one
of them. she would strike. with all the pre-
cision and force of q John l.. Sullivan, il
you attempted to handle her fore feet, and
if neither of these methods of attack were
practicable she would bite with all the
strength and force of the woman with the
iron jaw. The Plowman has on many occa-
siOns narrowly escaped losing it's editor as
result of trying to Christianize this mare.
With such mother. the colt we allude to
was regarded Is good subject for expert
ment His training was begun within .
week from the day that he discovered
America. 1t was made part Of the duty
of the the day tn handle tins colt carefully
Every leg was lifted. and il he showed any
disposition to kick or strike q sharp switch
was kept in readiness to follow the kick
with Il cut. Still, kindness was the ruling
principle In the system of training en-
plOyed.
He was given to understand that nobody
intended TO burt him. but that he must,
positively must. submit quietly to any
handl'n g we subjected him to. Nobody
was allowed to tease or triie with him in
any way. He has been brought M as
pet. He is not afraid of any body, because
he has never had any cause to be afraid.
We began barnessing him when he was a
year old. and now he will stand like an old
horse. and submit quietly To the harness be-
ing put on, adjusted and readjusted, SEEM
ing TO take II all as n matter of course This
colt has never been broken. He will never
have TO be. He has simply been trained in
the way he should 60. He looks upon MS as
his companions and friends. and we have
only TO make him understand what We
want him to do and he will cheerfnIly and
freely do il. Coming from so vicious
mother, we regard this colt az striking
example of the efficacy of kindness Some

JEWISH CUSTOMS.
Commencement of the Beautiful Feast
of TabernacIes.
One of the Most Charming in the Jew
ish Calendar Of Religious Events
Its Pretty Features.

Last evening commenced the Feast of
Tabernacles, Jewish festival of great
interest, which viii continue for period
Of eight days. The festival derives its
name from the tabernacles of booths,
which form the chief feature of the cele-
bratiou. ''Succoth," the Hebrew name,
means tabernacles, and the German
"Laubhuetten," verbally translated,
means booths made of foliage.
The orthodox Israelite erects booth
in his garden or yard, or anywhere ad-
jacent to his dwelling, makes the roof en-
tirely of branches and twigs of trees or
shrubbery, decorates the interior of the
booth with the choicest ornaments at his
command, and during the eight days OF
the festival conducts the family service,
pronounces the daily blessings and par
takes of his meals in the booth.
The modern Jew is satisfied with par
ticip ating in the ceremonies of the festi-
val within the tabernacle provided by
the congregation adjoining the syna-
gogue, where each evening aud morn
ing at the close of service the entire con-
gregation join in the ceremony of the
festival, pronounce the benediction and
taste OF the wine and the fruit provided
for the occasion.
The booths are in compliance with di-
vine command to commemorate the ex-
odus of the children of Israel from Egyp-
tian bondage.
According to the "Midrash" Jewish
folklore1 among the great miracles which
the Lord performed in behalf of Israel,
while they wandered in the wilderness,
were the pillar of fire to guide them,
mamma for food, water from the rock and
the weed which grew from the barren
wilderness and which served as a cover
ing for their tents to protect them from
the scorching son OF an African desert.
They were then commanded once year,
at this period, to dwell in booths covered
with weeds and foliage, they and all their
future generations.
The Succoth was also the harvest feast,
when all Israel flocked to the temple.
bringing THAR offerings and sacrifices of
the first fruits and cereals of the season.
1t was during the Succoth festival that
the temple was filled TO overf1owing with
the choicest products of the orchard. vine
yard, field and farm, and the custom still
prevails in Asia Minor and other Oriental
lands.
On this festival branches of the palm.
the myrtle and the willow twig, the en-
biems OF the proudest and the humblest
plants, and the aromatic citron are used
in the service at synagogue and at home.
Tradition designates the citron as the
forbidden fruit, and superstition confirms
the belief, because many citrons bear
marks as though made by human teeth
There were services at the synagogue
last evening, and another will be held this
morning, bat the ancient Jewish customs
and ceremonies will not be adhered TO
during the entire festival

GARDENERS CASE.
A Motion For q New Trial to be Made
Sentence Postponed.

A Motion For q New Trial to be Made
Sentence Postponed.
Daniel Gardner, who was convicted oi
criminally assaulting little Lizzie Cox,
will not be sentenced to-day, as was first
announced.
Attorney Holl, of counsel for the de-
fense, appeared before Superior Judge
Van Fleet yesterday and asked that the
passing of sentence be postponed, as he
was compelled to leave the city for few
days. He was anxious to be present
when judgment was imposed, as he
desired to move for new trial.
Judge Van Fleet allowed continuance
until Thursday next.
Referring to the result of the trial yes
terday the RECoRD-UNIoN stated that
Gardner was defended by Grove L. John
son and Judge Holl. This was partly in
correct. Mr.. Johnson conducted the
opening of the case, including the i'm
paneling of the jury, but subsequently
went to Marysvi1le, leaving Judge Holl
to conduct it, the hearing being private.
1t was, it appears, Hiram w. Johnson
who participated in the argument for the
defense, but he did SO without having had
time to thoroughly familiarize himself
with the evidence.
