FROM ASSYRIAN TYRANNY.
Jewish Celebration of the Hanukah.
or Feast of the RededicatiOn.

Services were held at the Ados Israel
(orthOdoxD Synagogue, corner Of Sixth and
q streets, last evening. to observe the begin
ming OF the Hebrew festival, Hanukah.
They consisted of special prayers and hymns
of thanksgiving, written to commemorate
the deliverance of the Jews from Assyrian
tyranny. Rabbi Samuels offlciated.
"Chanuccab,' or 'Hanukah,' the Hebrew
Feast ofLfghts, or Feast ofthe Rededication,
began last night at sunset and will extend
over period of eight days.
In165B. c., three yearsafter A ntiochus of
Syria, and his Greek mercenaries had pill
hged Jerusalem and profaned the temple
with drunken orgies, the victorious Jews,
under Judas Maccabaeus, redcdicated the
sanctuary TO the worship of God On this
occasion the city was brilliantly lit up in
honor OF the event, the jew having learned
from the Greeks the custom ofpublici illumi-
nation in celebration of victory, and from
this the festival, which was specially insti
tuted to mark the anniversary OF the recon
secration, derives its distinguishing feature
OF the Channccah lights and its appellation
rs the Feast Of Lights
In n any Jewish homes a separate candle
or lamp is lighted for each day, prayer
and ben.diction being given as the flame
is started. In some cases the custom pre-
walls OF having separate set of lights for
each OF the male members of the household,
and, in consequence, on the later evenings
OF the festival there is quite an extensive
illumination.
In the strict orthodox congregations,
where morning and evening services are
daily held, Hanukah is observed by appro
pirate services, but in the reformed and pro
gressive synagogues special services are
rarely held. The feast is one of the minor
ones of the Hebrew calendar.
A number of festivals and entertainments
will mark the recurrence of Chanuccah In
Baltimore. Tonight the Ladies' Auxiliary
Association OF the Greene Street Synagogue
will begin festival in the vestry rooms Of
the temple. On Friday afternoon the chill
dren of the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation
will have a festival, and next Monday there
will be a "Chanuccah coffee given by the
Hebrew Ladies' Sc wing Society. =

FURRY IN MONEY.
High Rates For Call Loans in the
New York Market

High Rates For Call Loans in the
New York Market
New York, Oct. 81. = A somewhat
apathetic speculation III stocks to-day
was enlivened by extreme stringency
in rates for call money. The first loan
was made at 10 per cent, and the rate
advanced to Is per cent, and finally
about 1890 p. m. a broker who wanted
money was compelled to bid up to 90
per cent before he could secure the re-
quired accommodation. The price
then fiuctuated between 40 and so per
cent, and finally went to 100. 1t
closed at so.
Business was only moderate, as of
ferings of funds were extremely light.
The immediate cause of the stringency
was the calling of loans by some of
the banks that wished to prepare
themselves for possible large demands
tomorrow. Loans made on Friday go
over until Monday, according to the
custom of the street, although the
banks legally have the right to call
money on any day of the week. The
banks, as q rule, are reServing their
surplus funds for the accommodation of
their regular customers, who are being
SuDDI1Su al V pei CS1l III pAOpOAtAoA "
the business done by them. In some
instances, however, banks have called
loans for the express purpose of max
ing turn in money on the street.
The stringency was not specially due
to the shipment of funds to the
interior, as the volume of this bust
ness has not exceeded the average of
last week. Bankers report sharp in
quiries for funds by their clients, and
sympathetic hardening influences upon
the money market was eXerted by re-
port of an increase in the demand for
cash gold Bullion brokers advanced
the commission premium of the gold
3-16 per cent to Labs per cent, Pre-
dictions are current il the street of
materially higher figures in money to-
morrow, but some leading bankers eX-
press the opinion that the worst OF the
furry has been seen.

CZAR CHANGES HIS MIND.
Proposed Currency reform Given
Tn for the Present

London, Nov. 1.-The correspondent
of the London Times at Berlin ful4
nishes his newspaper with ali im-
portant statement regarding the
finances of Russia. He says:
/ hear from st. Petersburg that the
car has decided to postpone the cui'=
rency reform which it was proposed to
submit to the state council this after
noon. This proposed reform Of the
Russian currency, briefly, was to be
an introduction of new gold coinage
to correspond exactly with the present
value of the silver and the paper
rouble. The ministry of finance is Of
fering to purchase bullion and foreign
gold. Some 1000 tons of new coined
silver are arriving every fortnight
from France, and the new copper coin-
age is being struck at the mint in
Birmingham. Ali Russian officials are
now paid partly in gold and silver and
the public is compelled to accept metal
to which it has not hitherto been used.
The proposed coinage has been called
devaluation and depreciation of the
currency by it's opponents and most
disastrous consequences are foretold,
including the probable effiux of gold.

Enormous Sums Being spent on the
FOrtficatiOn of Copenhagen.
London, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Copenhagen
to-day relative to the enormous sums
which are being expended by the Dan
ish government upon the fertilization
Of Copenhagen, says this work is I'M
dertaken in pursuance of secret I'M
derstanding arrived at between Rus
STA and France, by which Russia guar
antees the integrity of Denmark and
that, should favorable occasion arise,
she will insist upon the part of Schles-
wig Holstein inhabited by Danes being
restored to Denmark, in case a plebis-
cite of the inhabitants expresses the
desire of the people that this step
should be taken.
On the other hand, the dispatch
adds. Denmark undertakes, should
Russia be engaged in war, to place at
her disposal the harbors, forts and
shipbuilding yards of Copenhagen,
which, it is pointed out, as base of
operations against North Germany,
are worth over 100000 men.
