The Jewish New Year. $3.50 after the
creation, according to Jewish belief, be-
gan at sundown yesterday. The New
Years Day will end at sundown to-
night Until then Jewish business
houses will be closed.
Services in the Linden street temple
last evening were conducted by the
rabbi, Rev. DR.. Chapman.T His sermon
was on the topic "Retrospection."
During this mornings services, which
begin at $50 O'Clock, he will preach on
the subject, THE Writing on the Wall"
The blowing of the rams horn will be
included in this service. 1t has a SYM
bolic meaning jealously cherished by
the Jewish people. The service will he
interspersed with special music.
1t is not generally known among
Christians that the New Years cele-
bration is in the same tongue and after
much the same ceremony as were used
in Jerusalem in Solomons day. This
is true, however, and speaks much for
the faith and stcadfastness of the Jew
ish people who have seen the downfall
of many generations of prosecuting ma
tions. Their celebration of Rosh Hos
hanna now, 1868 years from it's incep-
tion, is an astounding evidence of 10y
atty and perseverance.
On the 26th comes the Day of Atone
ment, the most important religious fes-
tival of the Jewish church. 1t is a day
of prayer. fasting and service, services
generally lasting the whole day.

STATUS OF THE N. G. P.
Relations of Provisional Guard to
Guardsmen at the Front.

An interview had on Thursday by
the PittsburG Dispatch with Adjutant
General Stewart is of local interest.
Said the adjutant general:
The work of enlisting and armng men
for the provisional guard has nearly been
completed. By the end of the month it
will have been finished The organizing
of these commands has been conducted
with the express provision and undcr-
standing that the officers and enlisted
men who serve as the National Guard
shall have their old positions back at the
conclusion of the war with Spain.
There seems to be an opinion that as
soon as each regiment that volunteer for
service in the United States army has
been mustered out it will assume it's orig
inal identity at once. This is mistake,
for period of sixty days will lapse be-
fore the old mel mbers of the state guard
will be expected to resume their positions
in the guard.
| desire to make a statement about the
enlisted men of the National Guard who
were in the service of the state prior to
April 2S 1898, who did not enter the SER
rice of the United States or whose en-
listments have not expired. They have
not been mustered or carried as recruits
on rolls in the new organizations recruited
under general order No. 10. They have
been transferred from former organza-
tions to new ones to serve cut their terms
of enlistment. The men who were re-
cruited for the provisional guard will DC
continued in the service only so long as
is necessary in the judgment of this de-
partmcnt.
In cases where terms of enlistment
have expired since April 2S, and the sol
dier has enlisted prior to August 20 in
any of the organizations recruited under
general order No. Is. such enlistment will
he considered as within the period to en-
title the soldier re-cnlisting to credit for
continuous service.
When the former commissioned oifi-
GERS return home they will occupy their
old posts. A man who was a second lieu-
tenant before going TO war may come
home as a captain or major of volunteers,
but when he returns to the service of he
state he will occupy the same position
as before-no higher no lower. OF course,
it may be necessary to make promotions,
but the promises made TO the members
of the guard at the time of their enlist
ments as volunteers will be religiously ad-
hered to.

Glass instruction in Music.

The conservatory system of class in
struction in music is taught in all the
Conservatives of the world, notably
the conservatories of Paris (founded
in the last century,, Berlin, Leipzig.
Dresden, st. Petersburg founded
by Rubinstein), Munich, Stuttgart,
Cologne, and is indorsed by the great
est musicians of the world as being
superior to private lessons. The fol-
lowing famous musicians have taught,
or are now teaching in conservatories
of Europe: Mendelssohn (founded the
Leipzig conservatory, Moscheles, Rub
instein, Reinicke, Joachim, Kullak,
Tausig, Ehrlich, Jensen, Raft, Bargiel,
Gade, Guilmant, Dubois, Widor, Shear
wenka, Klndworth and scores of 9TH
ers. The great master, Liszt, the great
est pianist that ever lived. instructed
in no other way; the same is now true
of Madame Marchesi. the celebrated
voice teacher of Paris. A prominent
musician has said: when / see how
much better my class pupils play than
my private pupils. l feel that 1 never
want to give another private lesson"
The class system is used in the Scran-
ton Conservatory of Music because 1t
is the best. ~

THEY GO TO JERSEY CITY
Morans Do Not Want to Remain
in the Vicinity of the Recent
Tragedy--Poor Board
Gives Assistance.

At yesterdays meeting OF the poor
board, Mrs. Moran, of Millers row,
mother of the girl who accidentally
shot and killed the Russell girl, asked
the board for transportation for her
self and daughter to Jersey City.
Mrs. Moran appeared to be very sad.
AS she answered the questions ad-
dressed to her. she plainly showed her
grief over the distressing accident She
said her daughter had been almost
heartbroken over the shooting and
could not live i'm the vicinity of the
occurrence any longer. On her account
the family wanted to go to Jersey City.
MI. Shotten was directed to furnish
Mrs. Moran with the tickets.
Mrs. Joseph Hersvogel, who came
here year ago from Salt Lake City
to visit her parents on Thompson
street, told the board her husband had
failed to send her money for a return
ticket. Her respectable appearance and
youth and the presence of her two
small children caused the board to re-
fer the case to Mr.. Shotten with power
to act.
Mrs. Ellen Campbell, a middle-ag ged
woman, of Mary street, Providence,
won the boards sympathy. She has
six children, the oldest being thirteen
years of age. Her husband has been
dead three years. She said she earned
scant living by picking" coal and
selling it, Her case was referred to
Mr.. Shotten with power to act
Mrs. Elizabeth Hawkins of Bellevue
an aged woman, said her husband had
fooled her for twenty-five days by taxi
ing his dinner pail with him each day.
She thought he had found work, but
several weeks ago she found him at
Hillside Home. Her case was referred
to DR.. Paine.
John Miller, of the West Side, who
has left Hillside Home as many times
as he had been admitted there, ap-
piled for re-admission. His request was
granted after he had promised that he
would not leave the institution with
out permission.
Mrs. Bake, of Crown avenue, an aged
woman, Indignantly declined to accept
the privilege to go to the Home. She
lives alone, is destitute and wanted as
sistance, but she refused to leave her
home.
The meeting was a mid-monthly one
and on that account no reports of off,
GERS were received.

HOW REVENUE IS RAISED.
No Farmer, Laborer or Mechanic
Pays State Taxes.
lao Wy oming.

Colonel Stone, at Williams Grove.
Thestate revenue today is raised
from taxes on corporations, taxes on
money at interest, taxes on collateral
inheritances. fees paid on writs, liquor
licenses and taxes paid by merchants
engaged in mercantile business. Not
one foot of land in Pennsylvania paid
a dollar to the state: no farmer, no
laborer, no mechanic nor any man fol-
lowing a profession contributes to the
expenses of the state.
We began by taking taxes off the
land, then from trades and professions,
then from horses, cattle, gold watches
and carriages. The purpose and policy
of the Republican party has been to
remove the burden of taxation from
the people and place it upon those who
obtain some franchise or benefit from
the state, and who can better afford to
pay it?
