Jewish New-Year.

"Rosh Hashonah," the Jewish
New Year, which, according to the
Mosaic law, dated from the crea-
ton of the world, was observed by
the Hebrews on Tuesday.
According to the chronology of
the Hebrews, this celebration marks
the beginning of the year $3.50,
and the month is called Tisri and
the day is the first of that month.
1t does not always fall on the same
month day, according to modern
calendars.
Orthodox Jews everywhere
throughout the world are strict OBJ
servers of the day. The ceremony,
it is said, is identical with that
which was carried out in the early
days of the race with the exception
of the burnt offering commanded
by Moses. This cannot be carried
out, because the succession of the
priesthood has been lost, and none
other than the descendants of the
anointed are permitted to offer the
sacrifice which has been purified by
fire. But this is typifed by the
lighting OF a candle in candle
stick suspended in front of the Ark
of the Covenant, the holy of holies.
The men sit on one side and the
women on the other side when the
congregation assemblies. From one
of the five scrolls of the law the
reader delivers the lesson to the
people. The reader wears tall
hat, as do all the male members ol
the congregation, as well as a
fringed sash thrown over the left
shoulder. The reading continues
throughout the day and the next
day. The strictly orthodox, nota'
bly, those from Russia and Poland,
observe two days, but the American
Hebrews observe but one day.
One of the ancient customs fol
lowed is the blowing of the shefar
or the rams horn, which is sup
posed to awake those who hear il
to a full realization of the impor
of the day and the fact that the
day of judgment is close at hand.

An Exposition Quickstep.
The Official Music Of the National Export Ex-
postion has Been Decided Upon.

Latest among the musical compost
tons that are destined to be popular
is "The National Export Exposition
March, which has been officially en-
dorsed by the Exposition management
and which will soon find its way into
print.
Composers of more than dozen
States were in the competition, and it
was only after the various compositions
had been gone over number of times
by Anders famous Third Regiment
Band that the committee made the
selection.
The Exposition management has
not given out the name of the success
full author, but it is learned that the
young mans home is in Boston. No
prize was awarded. The copyrighted
edition of the march has been present
ed to the Exposition. 1t will be first
played officially by the United States
Marine Band upon the occasion of the
opening of the Exposition, and repeat
ed each evening during the progress
of the big show.

ShnmrOclS's Trial Spin.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The first trial
spin of the latest aspirant for interna-
tional yachting honors, Sir Thomas Lip
tons Shamrock, in racing trim, occurred
in American waters yesterday. The spin
occupied about three hours, and the
yacht covered about 80 nautical miles,
although she did not sail over any pre-
scribed course. At times she Travelled at
a rate of about II knots an hour, judged
by the speed of tugboat whose power
is we'll known. The breeze was strong
throughout the day and at times attained
a velocity of 10 knots an hour. After
the yacht was anchored safely in the
Horseshoe Sir Thomas Upton stated that
he was entirely satisfied with the per-

The People VIII Demand n Reason
For the Nassing of British Troops.

PRETORIA, Sept. G.-rhc volksraad
has accepted Mr.. Cocstcrs motion TO fix
the debates to grow out of the intcrpella-
ton of the government as to the as.
sembling OF British troops along the
Transvaal borders for Thursday next.
LII presenting his motion Mr.. CoesteI
referred to 'the Jameson raid and other
Autrages and murders committed by Brit.
ish troops" as leading him to distrust the
present concentration. He declared that
the convention of 1884 did not contain
the suzcrainty stipulation, and he main
tanned that Mr.. Chamberlain had broken
that convention by interfering in the
internal affairs of the republic.
Other burghers supported Mr.. Cocster
saying that, while negotiations were pro.
ceeding, all the British colonies were
offering armed assistance.
And must the Transvaal remain ST.
lentT exclaimed burgher. ut is op
posed to Christianity to conduct friendly
negotiations and yet mobilize troops.
We must know why the British troops
are on our borders"
The motion to wait until Thursday fol
the governments reply was agreed &c
unanimously.

McOlure's Magazine for September.

McClure's Magazine for September opens
with poem on the Dreyfus affair by Edwin
Markham which proves that the mark reach
ed by Mr.. Markham in "The Man with the
Hoe was not beyond his reaching again. 1t
is truly high and noble strain which he
strikes here, exhibiting in apt, strong, rhyth-
mic phrase the inner, universal import of the
most singular episode of recent history. Fol-
lowing this comes a character sketch of Ad-
mlral Sampson, by Ray Stannard Baker, CIV
ing many interesting incidents and anecdotes
of the Admirals life as boy and young man
IN his home town of Palmyra, New York, and
estimates and "reminiscences of him by his as
sociates in the navy. 1t is illustrated with a
series of portraits of Sampson and various
other pictures.
Miss Tarbell concludes, in this number,
her series of papers on the later life of Lin
coin with an account of Lincoln's funeral.
Such tribute of affection and reverence was
probably never paid in the world before; and
from unpublished contemporary remins-
cences and other new material Miss Tarbell
has gathered an account of it that is practi-
cally new story.
An illustrated paper by Theodore Waters
describes the wonderful methods of the Hy-
geographic Office in "guarding the highways
OF the sea-" and gives, from records of the
Office, some strange stories of sea storms,

by Cleveland Moffett gives very interesting
account of Menelik, the king of Abyssinia, a
black man, more or less barbarous in costume
and custom, but still eagerly interested in
the newest developments Of science and in
vention and devoted to the elevation of his
people.
There are half dozen good, strong, inter.
esting stories in the number, including a true
story of army life by Capt. J, T.. Brady and
a true story of railroad life by Cy Warman.
