DAY OF ATONEMENT.
Services Held All of Today in the
Linden Street Synagogue.

This is the Day of Atonement in the
Jewish church, one Of if not the holiest
of, the Holy Days of that faith. Ser
vices are being held all of today in the
synagogue on Linden street and in all
Hebrew places of worship in this and
other cities throughout the world.
Last evening, in the Linden Street
synagogue. was held preparatory
service. The rabbi, Rev. DR.. Edward
M. Chapman, preached.
At 10 o'clock this morning will begin
a period of solemn worship which will
last throughout the day until sunset.
There will be two sermons. one just
before noon and the other between 3
and o'clock. The afternoon worship
will include a memorial service and
prayers for the dead. The congrega-
tion will. in addition to the general
service, conducted by Rev. Chapman.
offer individual and silent prayers for
departed relatives and near friends.
Special music will be included in the
services.
The Day of Atonement is what the
title implies, day of repentance for
reparation Of wrongs or injury done to
fellow man and for reconciliation be-
tween the Almighty and mankind. The
chief function of the day may be best
understood from the original sense of
the word "atonement," which always
denotes some amends, or satisfaction
for the neglect of some duty, or the
commission of some fault; a satisfac-
tion with which, when supposed to be
complete, the person injured ought
reasonably to be contented, and to de-
mand of the offender nothing more on
account of his transgression" Dwight,
Theology, lv.).

NOVACK IS DEAD.
Michael Koket viii Now Be Called Upon
TO Answer a Charge Of
Murder.

Andrew Novack died at 1880 o'clock
this morning at the Lackawanna hos
pital. He is the man who sustained
a fractured skull from stone thrown
by Michael Koket, who is now is the
county Jail.
Novack's condition for the past few
days has been such that his recovery
vac hopeless. Vostcid day ne showed
sure signs of approaching death and
early last evening it was thought that
the injured man would not see the
morning. Novack was unmarried and
lived at Dickinson city.
The circumstances of the assault
have been previously told in the Trib-
une. He was a Polander and in the
locality where he lived there is bad
blood existing between Novacks
nationality and the Hungarians. a
crowd of the latter one night threw
stones at Novack's house and when he
came out a missile struck him on the
head.
Three men-Stanley and Andrew
Grutkoski, of Priceburg, and Joe Col
fish, of Olyphant--were arrested by
County Detective LeystrOn last Satur-
day night and We're placed under $500
bail each for "felonious wounding" by
Justice of the Peace Logan, of Price
burg. In default they were committed
to the county Jail. These men inform
ed on Koket as the person who threw
the stone and upon his being arrest
ed Koket could not furnish $1,000 bail
and was committed.
The three men We're released yeSter-
day having secured bondsmen. Koket
is still In iail.

RECEPTION FOR MISS SEYMOUR.

I BEFORE BREAKFAST. s

Aren't men funny? If a real nice, re-
spectacle woman had a friend who used
coarse xpressions-naturally this is only
IA suppositious case, no real nice woman
has such a friend-but If by a stretch of
Imagination it might be stated that she
had, do you suppose she would hear
these remarks without in some way
showing that they We're obnoxious to
her sensibiites? Men suffer such in
|1ictions daily and hourly and make no
protest Yesterday good, respectable,
Religious citizen, one who is prominent
In church and philanthropic work, was
walking down the street with Il COM
.panion who was swearing like a pirate
Ialthough the conversation was not on
an exciting subject. and the language
lsed seemed to be his habitual mode of
speech. The good, churchly man was
looking pleased and interested as if his
ears were not offended by the shock
Ing oaths. Queer, wasn't it? And yet
here are some men, not preachers eth
er, in whose presence you nor anybody
else who knew them would never dream
pf swearing.
The present condition of Vine street,
between Washington and Wyoming ave-
nues, would give the impression that a
rural supervisor had been getting in his
work in the usual fashion, carefully
heaping all the stones and boulders into
he roadway. In the country, it is then
expected that the travelling public will
drive over this delectable surface and
carefully smash the rocks. Here it is
probable that in time a stone crusher will
be perambulated to and fro over the ac-
cumulation, but just now 1t isn't an in
viting thoroughfare.

turing Mr.. B. Fl. Pratt on it's editorial

The costliest and probably the larg-
est frame residence in the city, and
among the costlest and largest of the
many palatial homes of any descrip-
tion, is now being erected on Taylor
avenue for w. H. Taylor, of the Scran-
ton Supply and Hardware company.
1t will cost, when finished, about $40,-
600, which is exclusive of the $12, 200 or
$4,000 additional which will be expend-
ed on the grounds, approaches, shrub
berry and fencing.
Mr.. Taylor and others have pur-
chased for building purposes the entire
block between Pine and Gibson streets,
1t being their purpose to have the resi-
dences face the west and have delivery
and servants entrances from Irving
avenue, the alley between Pine and
Gibson streets having been closed by
councils in response to the petition of
the property owners.
The framework and the enclosing
boards of the Taylor residence have
been put in place, but the roof is not
on, no plastering has been done and
the interior work will not be completed
until next March or April. 1t stands
on ridge, which runs north and south
between the two avenues and faces
west, commanding an unobstructed
view from the highest point in the city
toward all points of the compass. The
ground slopes gently toward Taylor
avenue and toward Irving avenue
farther in the rear The property is
120 feet wide and extends through the
middle of the block.
The purest style of old colonial will
be shown in the architecture of the
building. 1t will be sixty feet square
and relieved of exterior plainess by
only a one-story bay window on the
south side, a small porch on the north
side and an immense broad veranda
extending across the whole frontage
The veranda will be one of the dis
tinguishing characteristics. Six col
umns, three feet in diameter and twen-
ty-eight feet high, will support the
veranda roof. The column capitals
will be Corinthian, carved and -four
feet square. A fight of ten steps will
extend across the entire length of the
veranda. which will be sixteen feet
wide. The flooring of the porch will
be twenty-five feet above and seventy.
five feet away from the street level.
Much that will be shown in the in
terror arrangements and finish can be
better described after completion, but
a general comment will convey an idea
of it's comfort and splendor The house
will contain three floors. A novel fea
