JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Solemn Period of Yom Kippur, the
Day of Atonement APP

This evening, at the setting OF
the sun, the new year, 5656, of the
Hebrew calendar begins. The day
is especially celebrated in the jew
ish religion as feast day, and all
the faithful in our city will observe
the event in proper way.
Its Hebrew name is Rosh Hash
onah, although the Pentateuch,
where it is first ordained, it is
known only by the names of Yom
Teruah, the day of blowing the
trumpet, and Yom Hazzikkoron,
the day of memorial. To these is
yet added the name of Yom Had
din, the day of judgment. In the
allegory of the rabbis is beauti-
full myth to the effect that on this
day God sits in judgment on the
deeds of His people with two
ledgers before Him, each presided
over by a recording angel. The
angel that records the good deeds
is happy and wreathed in sunny
smiles; the angel recording the
evil is streaming down with tears,
so that his ledger is blotted, where
as the formers is clean. The good
men are inscribed to a happy life,
whence the usual greeting among
the Jews this day "Leshanah
tovah tikkasayo" ("mayest thou
be inscribed to good year'').
Those of evil are inscribed for mis-
cry, but have this day the oppor-
tunity for repentance, which OPP
portunity is heightened until the
Day of Atonement. The Yom Hak-
kippurim, making ten days of
penitence in all from Rosh Hash
onah to the Day of Atonement, in
elusive, and called in Hebrew
Asereth Yemai Tishubah. The
Rosh Hashonah is thus day for
summoning the deeds of the past
year before the mind, symbOlized by
the summoning notes of the rams
horn, and the observance of the
day is characterized by the in
terest, devotion, determination,
confessions of sin, REPAYMENT, as
far as possible, of all injury or
wrong committed during the year,
sincere repentance and honest re-
solutions. 1t is thus made in truth
a day of soul trumpeting, day of
remembrance, and day of self
judgment, while from its very
character it is worthy beginning
of the religious new year. The
Day. of Atonement is but the con-
and intensification of these
thoughts and sentiments, made so
profound that the man becomes,
or rather should become, so asorb-
ed in them that he has no time or
for his physical wants,
remains in the synagogue all day,
observes complete fast, not tast-
ing any food nor taking even the
slightest swallow of water. From
the character of, these two days,
which are totally different from all
the other Jewish holidays, which |
are prominently days of "rejoic-
ing with God" they are called the
Yomim Noroim, the awful or
sublime days.
The services in synagogue Beth |
Ell for the New Year commence
this evening at $3.50 and tomor-
row morning at 9. The services
for the Day of Atonement, which
take place on the evening of the
2Sth and the day of the 10Th of this
month will be announced later.
The Sabbath that intervenes be-
tween these two days has special
sanctity and is called Shabbes
Teshubah, the Sabbath of Repen-
lance.

SHORT STOPS.
" hat the People are Say ing

Sec. 246 of the city charter has
fallen like a firebrand in the city
hall. The mayor has seen fit to
veto a resolution sustaining the
opinion of the city attorney giving
strict construction to the mean
ing Of the section.
The wisdom of this veto is doubt
ed. If the mayor can set himself
up as legal authority and contro-
vert the opinions of the city attor-
ney, then we have no further use
for the city attorney.
We have contended that Mr..
Minor in his opinion upon the Sec
ton gave it too strained an in
depreciation, but if he erred he
erred upon the right side.
1t should not be impossible to
secure the services of a dozen good
citizens to act as 'councilmen, and
a half dozen more men to serve
as officials who would be willing
to sacrifice their personal interests
while serving the city, and not be.
come engaged in business with the
city in any manner, shape or
form.
Alderman Beckmann suggested
that "a friendly suit" be instituted
to test the section. The only kind
of a suit that will test it is an in
dictment. If any member Of the
city council or city official has been
guilty of a violation of this section
he is liable to Indictment.
The discussion of section 246 by
this city council is greatly to their
credit. The council has shown
courage and determination in al
most unanimously sustaining a
strict construction of the section.
That it is the first council that
for years and years has had the
moral courage to discuss the re-
quirements of this section, is an
honor to them.
The personal fallings out over
this discussion are not creditable
to the gentlemen engaged in them,
but the row may clear the atmos-
phere.
It's a mistake to think that the
people don't understand this mat
ter. They do. And what is more,
the tongue of rumor is buster than
the local reporters connecting city
officials with all kinds of city
speculation. We say, "Don't be
tempted by the devil" Stick to
the charter.

The exclusive publication in tho In

the city gas board ia about to try an en-
,tiroty new SyStem Of making iiiuminat'
ing gas, caused a decided sensation,
aud was the leading themO OF conyersa'
lion about town nil day. The fact that
moro and better gas could DO made with
80 small plant than with tho old works.
and that nearly every part OF the old
process could DO abandoned, seemed in
credible to many people until they read
the INrgLLIGESCEE's complete and COM
prehensiyu explanation OF the process.
The libsrality OF the terms on which tho
plant il to DO acquired by tho city also
seemed marvellous. paper suggested
that business men would be glad to take
the old works and ruu them Tor what
saving they could effect, but that ia II
diculOusIy different proposition.
George l., Harvey * 20, construct tho
new plant at no cost whatever TO tho
city. They operate it until such time
as its workings are demonstrated to bs
satisfactory, when II is to be turned
over to tho city. The city buys the now
plant outright II satisfied with It, aud
pays but q small sum-about SlO,OOO-
out OF hall tho savings effected by the
now process, That II, when the plant
has saved the city $4,000 over tho old
process, Harvey d Co. will hayo re-
ceiyed $4,000, and the city will own the
plant aud the right TO mako gas by that
process, without any further charge at
any time.
4 moro liberal offer could not DO i'm.
agiued. AZ Mr.. Harvey said to an Is
rELLIGESCER reporter, the company
would not put III another plant on the
same terms. This il put up TO domou'
stralo that it is all that is claimed for II.
Referring to the lSrELLIuENCETs pub
LEGATION, an afternoon paper said:
THE article published to-day created
tho impression about the city that the
gas trustees had entered into contract
with the Harvey company which would
finally bind the city to purchase tue
plant ono oil the gas trustees stated,
however, that the purchase OF the
plant, which will cost in the nOighbOr-
hood oiSlOOOO, will DO solely dependent
on tho success Of the process, in which
matter the city is TO be the supreme
