CELEBRATED WITH GAYETY.
The Jewish Festival of the Taber-
nRcIes Begun.

The Feast of the Tabernacles with the
Jewish people began yesterday. and will
continue for week.
The celebration of the festival was
placed in the hands of the Young Mems
Hebrew Association, and it has succeeded
perfectly in rendering it, in its beginning,
the season of jubilee and feasting that the
traditions of the Jewish people assign
to it.
Under the direction of the MANAGING

hall in Masonic Temple was set aside for
the holding of the celebrat ton, and the
efforts of the lady friends of the associa.

the season.

a THOUSAND CHALLENGES.
REGISTRARS MAKING SLOW PROG
RESS IN THEIR WORK.

VIII Take n Week 40 Complete the
CIassIficat ton of Voters Before the
Hearing of Charges Can Begin.
The Citizens Club Files Charges
Against 40 COIOred Voters in the
First District and 05 in the second
District-The Liberal Club ChaI-
IenEes Foot Up About 500.
1t is very evident that the registrars
will be compelled to have clerks in order
to facilitate their work. Up to last night
they had only succeeded in classifying
about one-half of the voters of the First
district At this rate it will take a week
longer to complete the classification.
The really important work, the hear
ing Of charges against parties whose
names are claimed to be on the list ille-
gally, must come afterward 1t is evil
dent that challenges will be filed against
fully 1000 names and how the registrars
are ever to pass upon all these cases,
even if the utmost expedition is used,
passes comprehension.
So far the Liberal Club has filed about
500 challenges. of this number 217 are
trict and 80 in the Third district
The Citizens Club has filed about 100
challenges in the First district, and about
sixty-five in the Second district. The
challenges were withdrawn later for pur-
poses Of classification, and the exact num-
Der could not be acertained. These chal-
lenges are all against negroes. Practi-
cally all of the Liberal Club challenges
are against white men.
Liberal Club men charge that the Citi-
zens Club is fling challenges against all
the negroes on the list merely for the pur-
pose of obstructing the work of the regis
trars. The Citizens Club men deny this
and point to the fact that so far they have
filed only about half as many challenges
as their opponents. They also point to
the work they are doing in the way
looking up the records OF negro voters.
Many discrepancies, they claim, having
been discovered in their statements as to
age, residence and other points of iden-
tity. They are now overhauling the rec
ords of marriage licenses in the ordinary's
office and state that they have found
many Rlaring contradictions between the
records and the sworn statements of the
registered voters. Negroes who stated
their ages when obtaining their marriage
licenses during the last several years at
anywhere between Is and 80 are found to
have registered at from q to 25 years IL
is asserted that one negro who regis
tered as p years Of age has a wife and
10 children.
1t is likely that there will be some very
interesting evidence when the registrars
undertake to purge the list.
Judge Norwood has granted the use of
the city court room to the registrars for
their sittings for the present

AN ANCIENT FESTIVAL REVIVED.
The Feast of Our Lady of Ransom
Observed at st. Francis Home.

The Feast of Our Lady of Ransom
Observed at st. Francis Home.
st. Francis Home, for colored orphans,
celebrated yesterday in honor of Our Lady
of Ransom.
Our Lady of Ransom is one of the titles
of the virgin growing out of her answers
to the prayers of prisoners for ransom.
The name was bestowed upon the virgin
during the middle ages when Englishmen
were so often taken captive on the con-
tinent. Their prayers were offered and
her intercession for their liberty asked.
The feast of Our Lady of Ransom is
rarely observed in this country, but in
England and some other countries Sept.
"a is always set aside to be celebrated in
her honor The sisters of the home have
decided to make it one of the days for
special observance.
The new building at East Broad and
Castor streets was illuminated last night
and during the afternoon the children
were treated to refreshments. School for
the children in the home was opened yes
terday and a new child was received in
honor of Our Lady of Ransom.
