&. 600.
Nearly every jewelry store in the city,
including Moore g. Leding, Castelberg' s
Spier's, Goldsmith's. and several other
prominent ones In Pennsylvania Avenue
and Seventh Street, were visited. sup
posedly by the prisoner, and something

Ten Days.

At the Washington Hebrew Temple last

organ and the sweet voices of the choir
the advent of the Jewish New Year-Rosh
Hashanah or yom iHayikaram-the me-
mortal day of the people OF the faith,
which began at sunset. The services will
last for ten days.
The magnificent structure was crowded
TO the doors with the elite of the Hebrew
community. Here and there an orthodox
member was distinguishable by the fact
that he retained his hat from the COM
mencement to the end of the impressive
services. and more than one of the mem-
bers of the congregation wore the uni
form of the United States.
Precisely at o'clock Rabbi Stern COM
menced the services with the solemn
prayer prescribed by the Hebrew ritual,
praying for life, health, prosperity joy,
knowledge and peace during the new
year. After this followed the 9lst Psalm,
read alternately by the rabbi and congre-
cation.
The rabbi, choir, and congregation then
intoned the solemn invocation, Hear, o
Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one;
praised be His glorious name forever and
ever" The rabbi then read number OF
prayers in Hebrew. and the choir intoned
The Lord is my light and salvation;
whom shall I fear? The Lord is the
strength of my life; of whom shall 1 be
afraid? Wait on the Lord, be of good
cheer: He shall strengthen your heart.
Wait on the Lord.
The congregation then listened to a
basso solo by II. Nolan, being the first
and last stanzas of the hymn on page %
of the ritual prescribed for this particular
occasion:
Into the tomb OF ages past
Another year hath now been cast;
Shall time unheeded take its flight.
Nor leave one ray OF higher light,
That on mans pilgrimage may shine,
And lead his soul TO spheres divine?
Peace to the House sf Israel
May joy within it forever dwell,
May sorrow on the opening year,
Forgetting It's accustomed tear
With smiles again fond kindred meet,
With hopes revived the festival greet.

pressive part of the services, in which the

passed away during the past year. This
