jewish Citizens Observe One of Their
Great Days.
At sunset last evening the Jewish
new year opened and was observed by
the orthodox Jews of this city by ser
vices at the Odd Fellows hall on East
Douglas avenue. No rabbi was present
but they selected one of themselves to
lead the services which were solemn and
impressive.
According to the Jewish calendar the
year 1851 begins this morning which is
the first day of the month of Tishri.
Orthodox Jews VIII celebrate the occa-
sion two days after the services of last
evening. There are a great many orthO-
dox Jews in this city, most OF whom
are what is known as Russian Jews.
There are also many Of them scattered
over southern Kansas and some Of them
came in yesterday from all quarters TO
attend the services.
The 10th of Tishrd, or Thursday. Sep

day of atonement The rest of the month

the detenLnat ton for the new year was
fixed through the calendar.

clare il holiday. nevertheless the
event was celebrated in the temple by
the burned offerings and the blowing

conlmemorated DIT rather as a convoca-
ton Of their families. Upon such occa-
sions they called upon the prophets.
During tolmudic eras thede were no re-
strictions as to the performance Of any
labor or other occupations. The wo-
men, however, abStained somewhat
from the more arduOuS household du-
ties. It was enjoined particularly that
there should not be fasting days on
these days.
This period is deemed by the Jewish
cult as the most awful and soul-trying
period. The devout rise before day

all the forms of the transgression OF

The institution Of this sacred season
was attributed TO the exile Ezra. who,
IL was claimed, had largely drawn from
the BabyloIdans, the custom OF the
celebration OF holidays, as is demon
strated by the Jewish writer. Rabbi
Krochnal who. from historical data,
clearly shows that the ASsyrianS and
Rabylonians celebrated the luna new
year and day of atonement precisely as
II IS observed by the orthodox Jews OF
today, except that they addressed their
supplications TO their sun god. Bioh-
cal exegetics assert, however. that the
celebration Of these Days is much older.

HE HAS A SCHEME
Bow New Yorker Manages to Play Even
With Hotels.

well. by Ned, that beats anything I
have ever heard of in all my experience
behind the counter" said Night Clerk
Steele of the Carey last night as he
watched a New York goldbug walk over
to the window and take a seat.
The goldbug in question was named
Rosenthal and he had just paid 81 90
for dinner and supper, registered out
and Immediately registered in for
lodgings and breakfast.
Mr.. RoSentlal always takes a three
dollar rate wherever he goes, providing
they have first-claSS hotels there, and
he manages, by extra good financiering,
to get it for So 80
Now, how does he do that?" asked
the reporter.
Mr.. Steele. took mis- pencil and ex-
planned. He came here this morning
after breakfast and registered. IncIud-
ing breakfast tomorrow that would be
one day or s.. 90. Now he comes up af-
ter supper and pays 81 90 for two meals.
That's all we could charge because UP
10 that time he did not tell US that he
wanted the 50 rate and we could only
collect the regular 81 rate from him
which, for half a day is only s.. Now
then, after paying the rate for half a
day he contracts for another half a day
at So, making his bill only s1.50 after
breakfast in the morning. Thus you
see that he gets the fun day, with So
accommodations, for 81. 80. The differ
ence, you see, is IN the lodging accom-
modations and not in the dining room
accommodations. That man is strictly
onto his JOB. 1 wouldn't have Thought
of that If I lived a thousand years In
reality the lodging at the IS rate is 81 80
and the three meals at so cent each is
81 so but according TO this mans
scheme he can get lodging and meal
for the price of lodging alone by say
ing your rate is So a day and 1 am here
just half day"
While Mr.. Steele and the reporter
talked Mr.. Rosenthal was over at the
shifting the salubrious air and
feeling quite satisfied with himself and

The Ohio legislature has passed a
law under which the heirs of a person
iynehed by a mob may have action
against the county in which the crime
was committed. This measure will no
doubt prove very salutary, inasmuch
as the knowledge that damages will
surely follow mob justice will actuate
the authorities and taxpayers to use
more than common precautions to
prevent its occurrence. The frequency
Of lyGchings in the United States de-
mands attention and the Ohio law
seems to fit the situation admirably.
