THE G. A. R.-For general informa-
ton it is stated that the G. a. r. is a
military organization by itself and for
itself with powers and benevolent pur-
poses similar to those Of Masons and
Odd Fellows. Apparently this mill
tary organization is composed only of
survivors or followers Of the Federal
army who served as soldiers, marines,
sailors or in other capacities during the
war between the States against the
Southern Confederacy and its army
and navy, Gigs. Consequently the
men of 1776-'S3, 1S12-15, 1S46'4S can
not join the G. A. r. The survivors, of
the Mexican War in that organization
are mostly enlisted men of the regular
l. S. Army, still in service when the
war between the States broke out.

THAT SENATOR HILL does not agree
with Mr.. Peek, the New York commits
sioner of labor, that the Mckinney bill
has increased the wages Of labor, is
proved by the fact that in his speech IN

"There is no satisfactory evidence that
it has increased our prosperity in any
degree or advanced the wages ola sin
gle workingman. Skilful statislsians,
capable Of jusgling with figures, may
assume to have more information than

pie that the Mckinley bill has not in
creased wages either IN New York or

sets this evening the Jews in al parts
of the world begin the celebration OF
their New Year. 1t is one Of the iesta!
DAYS which is observed by all, be they
reform or orthodox in their religious
views. Divine services will be he'd in
the synagogue OF this city this evening
and tomorrow morning The feast is
celebrated on the first day efthe seventh
month, called in the Hebrew almanac
Tishri. 1t might appear strange that
the new year commences with the
seventh month. But it must be remcm-
bered that the Jewish year is divided
into two parts, summer half year
commencing with Nissan, the first
month. and winter half year COM
noncing with Tishri, the seventh
month. According to the express in

CT nature, which, in falling after the
completed harvest, concludes the
circuit of the annual activity for
man as well as for the earth.
The biblical name of the feast is Day
of the Trumpet, and its object is self
examination Of the conduct of man dur
ing the past year. and thorough repent
ance. The other names of the feast,
Day of Memorial and DAY OF Judg-
ment,p suggest the same means for
thorough repentance and Improvement.
The principal idea connected with the
feast is that God, the almighty Creator
Of the world, is at the same time our
ruler and judge. His providence de-
cides the fate of the individual rs well
as of mankind. Life and death, happi-
ness and misfortune are destined by
Him. To him man is accountable for
his acts and deeds, commissions and
omissions. Before His judgment all
human beings are cited and they are
Judged according to the record Of their
lives. The customary congratulations
with which friends and relatives are
greeted on this festival is "Mayest

Fatal Railroad Accidents.

ful railroad accident has occurred on
the Fort Wayne road. The Chicago
express, while running at full speed,
crashed into the first section ola freight
train on the Fort Wayne road at
Shrcve, Ohio, early this morning. Nine
people were killed outright, five are
missing, three seriously injured and
Others were slightly hurt. The freight,
which had been lying on siding, sud
denly pulled on to the main track
in front of tho passenger train and be-
fore either train could stop, they had
collidcd. Both engines were ditchcd
and ground into shapeless mass. They
were followed by the postal car, two
express cars, the baggage car, the
smoker and one coach, together with
five of the freight cars.

Yes indeed. The G. A. r. is composed

practical purposes, may be considered

has democratic members to be sure,
but they are so few, comparatively,
that they are hardly observable.

THE report of the labor COM
missioner of Massachusetts,, unlike
that of the so-called democratic labor
commissioner of New York, is to the ef-
feet that the laborer in his State is not
receiving as large share of the profit
of his product under the Mckinley bill
as he did before the passage ofthat bill,
but that his share of the losses, and also
of the expense of living, is larger now
than it was then. Dir. Peck should be
compelled to eat his report, or else tell
where he got the information upon
which it was founded.
