Electric Railroad Notes.

The Portland Railroad company have
nearly completed the double tracking on
the Deering line which they propose to
do at present. On Preble and Green
streets the double tracks are completed
and in USE From the Portland and
Rochester crossing to Deering street, at
Deering Point, the track laying is com
pleted, but the paving is not yet in.
The Portland and Cape Elizabeth E~aa'
road will hardly have it's cars Running In
to the city today. The double track has
come along Commercial street as far as
the Portland Beef company's offices. But
work has probably been slackened pend
ing the decision by the city government
on the petition for leave to bring the
tracks to Market square via Market and
Federal streets. Captain Boyd says that
the city fathers will probably be asked to
have special meeting to consider the
matter.

The Hebrew Fast.

Yesterday was the greatest day i'll all
the Hebrew year for on September ~, the
day of fasting and atonement, is carried
on all over the world.
EThis is the day, according toEthe Hebrew
tradition, that all sins are forgiven and
resolutions for the new year whose be-
ginninggwas celebrated one week ago,
are made.
Yesterday afternoon at four O'Clock,
every Hebrew place of business was
closed, and all repaired to their syno-
gogues. There are three synagogues; one
in the rear of 70 Middle street, another on
Deer street, and one on Fore street.
There were about one hundred in eact
synagogue. and in the lower part is an
ark, surrounded by oanules. and unde1
which sat the minister or chanter. who
sang the penitential psalms OF the
Hebrew religion, which was answered by
the congregation.
Each ones shoulders were covered by
a cloak of dark material, through which
ran light stripes and each one carried q
psalm book.
b, The day, as one of the Hebrews ex'
planned to a reporter who had wandered
into the Middle street synagogue xtends
way ack in the Hebrew history. They
began ia sting and chanting and praying,
at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
will continue it until sunset today. From
four O'Clock yesterday afternoon until
eight o'clock last night, all remained II
the sy nagogue.
At eight O'Clock last night, about one
half of them went to their homes, leaving
about fifty silent figures praying. :,
Those who had remained in prayer vii
stay there until about six O'Clock this
afternoon. In every Hebrew househoulc
in Portland, and there are one hundred
of them, candles are being burned during
the fast, which lasts twenty hours.

HAYDN ASSOCIATION.
Some Reasons why There should Be
Larger Membership.

| Naturally, local organizations minis
tering to the need or pleasure of a COM
munity, especially those which have
stood the test of time and service, are
held in high esteem. Among those which
have "a name to live' must be counted
the Haydn Association of Portland. Or
ganized nearly 80 years ago, it has steadi-
ly and faithfully held on it's way Its
object has ever been to develop and cultl-
vate musical taste and expression, giving
the singers of this vicinity the opportu-
nifty of studying the best works OF the
great composers. From the first it has
been singularly fortunate in having for
conductor, Mr.. Hermann Kot zschmar,
whose musicalgtaste and leadership are OF
the highest order, second to none in the
country. That the chorus, under Mr..
Kotzschmars' critical training, has done
splendid work, emitting it to high
rank, is conceded by every one familiar
with itsThistory It is needless to recount
the many oratorios, cantatas, and musl-
cal gems of the world s famous compos-
ers brought out from yearsto year. Large
audiences. and the Communications of the
press have borne witness to the ability
Of Mr. Kotschm ar, and the efficient work
of the association Surely it has stood
the5 test of time and service and merits
hearty recognition from all our singers,
and generous patronage from the public.
Tt offers to the musical talent of Portland
and vicinity an opportunity equalled
by very few societies of the country.
TO sing we'll in chorus is within the
reach of all of our singers. The music
of we'll trained ch0rus.is always inspir
ing and -ennobling, and all who can should
avail themselves of the privileges of
the association for their own good and
the enjoyment of others.
It is not, as some have thought, diff
person of proper age, and good moral
character, able to read fairly well COM
mon church psalmody is eligible for
membership If vouched for by MEM
Der of the board Of government, no ex
animation is necessary. The initiation
fee is So for gentlemen and 50 for ladies.
The annual assessment is IS for gentle
men and So for ladies, payable to the
secretary on Cor before the annualamset-
ing in FEBRUARY.
All rehearsals andRconcerts are he'd in
Kotzschmar Hail. q most desirable place,
easilygaccessible to everyone
It is expected that large addition
will be made to the chorus this season.
Rehearsals commence next Monday eve
the beautiful cantata "The Holy City,"
by Gaul, will be taken up. A nest
cordial invitation is extended to the sing
ers Of Portland and vicinity to join the
association.

Another Cart Tower Incident.

A funny incident happened in Monu-
ment Square, yesterday. They were draw,
ing the tower in the cart cross the street.
1t is so high that it was got under the
two trolley wires with some difficulty.
One of the men was standing on the
ladders, short distance from the tor
and lifting the trolley wire up over the
top of the tower. He had got the last
wire up high enough and told the driver
to 60 ahead. By mistake he backed the
horse. The man lodged just quics
enough to prevent the wire taking him
under the chin, but it caught his pipt
and snapped it out of his mouth al
quick as flash.

A HORSE WITH 4 PAST.

From The Chicago Tribune.
\ hungry looking horse htched TO a sewing-ma-

North Clark and Indiana SITS yesterday afternoon.
He was of the calico variety, with big reddish
spots and streaks a background Of dirty white
He looked as though he had been good horse in
his youth
A little German band stopped IN front OF saloon
near the corner and began 10 play. The tune was
OF those staccato waltzes, OF the pronounced
"one- twO-ihree' variety.
Before ten bars had been played the calico
horse showed he was deeply Interested. He began
to sway softly from SIDE to side. and when the
on the big tuba the old horse began to Eft his
front feet and dance He curved his neck and
pranced and all the old pride of his circus days
shone IN mis- eyes.
In two minutes he had crowd around him and
the sa!oonkeeper gave the musicians a half-do.lar
to play another tune But just the band be-
gan 10 play a red-headed boy dashed out OF a
stairway, Jumped on the wagon. and, giving the
lines a jerk exclaimed:
"Go wan! Wots der matter wild yer?' And the
old circus horse had come back TO earth again
