JEWISH CHURCH FESTIVALS.
September an Important Month In Hebre

September an Important Month In Hebrew
Circles.
Septem Der is the month of all other:
in which occur the festivals of the
Jewish church. Monday evening the
celebration of New Years day com
menced. The first day of the year
opened at sunset. 1t was the first
day of the month Tischri, and the
opening of the year 5000 after crea-
ton. The celebrated rabbi, DR.. Emil
G. Hirsch, speaking of this festival
month, said the other day:
The new year is a solemn day for
pious Jews, for they believe that then
God sits in judgment and assigns to
each man his fate and his fortune
There is fasting among some Of the
Jews, but the day is observed by nv
congregation in solemn service only.
The Day of Atonemeut comes 10 DAYS
later. That is also one of the most
sacred of Jewish festivals.
There are many peculiar cere-
monies associated with the Jewish
New Year, the Rosh Hashonah In
many of the synagogues the rams
horn is blown by the one who reads
the prayers. There is tradition that
this custom has descended from the
incident of the substitution of a ram
when Abraham was about to STAY
his son. l have theory which would
not please the orthodox Jew. 1t is
that the custom was one which en-
listed among the Babylonian shepherds
to greet the new moon and that it was
by the Hebrews. In my
church the tradition is preserved by
the music of trumpets and from
bones.
lone of the salutations among the
Jews on this day is: May you be
written for a good year. 1t seems
proba BILE that the Hebrews adopted
the belief on which this custom is
based from the Assyrians. The Assy-
rian year began in the autumn, and
the gods were supposed then to hold
4 council where by an oracle the lot
Of mankind was determined.
Sept. II is the Day of Atonement
Or Yom kippur. That is day when
here are solemn services for purifica-
ion and when large sums are given
,or charity. In the evening on that
lay there is service in my church
md each year sum of S12, 900 or
plO'OOV Is Idlseu ny SuoScIiptIon Will
n a few minutes. 1t is also a day for
| service in memory of the departed.
That is held in the afternoon, and not
,nly members of the congregations
md prominent Jews are memorialiZed, |
'ut all the great men who have died |
within year are spoken Of"
The Fast of Gadaliah, which is on |
he Jewish calendar for Septem Der 8,
Dr.. Hirsch said, is almost obsolete. |
t originally was held to commemor-
tie the death of ruler who died as
lis people were about to move. The |
Sunday, according to the |
alendar, should be observed as har-
est festival, but this custom, too, has |
eclined in interest since the Jews |
eased to be the farmers of Pales-
inc.

TRADE NOTES.

Firewood dealers of Spokane have add
yanced the price of wood on all kinds 20
cents per cord.
The Northern Pacific railway receipts
at South Bend were $2,S26 larger for De-
cember than in the same monuh In 1897.
S. j. Allward has been awarded the
contract for carrying the mail from Gle
Elum to Blewett, Wash, at $7SS per year
The receipts at the Everett customs
house for the year ending December 81,
1898, were 500, 1864. This is the largest
in any one year since the office was es-
tablished
Lieut.. Henry T. Mayo U. S. N, who
for number of years was stationed at
Port Townsend, has been ordered to re-
port for duty at the Union Iron Works
at San Francisco
The big wind of last week played havoc
on the line of the Port Townsend rail
way, large number of trees being blown
across the tracks. Between Port Town
send and Leland, no less than fifteen trees
were removed to permit the passing of the
passenger train.
The o. r. & n boat service between
Riparia and Lewiston has been resumed,
after being interrupted recently on ac-
count of ice in the Snake river. The
season is so far advanced that it is be-
lieved that there will be no more incon-
venience on that account.
N. Roman, the Spokane contractor, has
secured big railroad contract from the
O. r & n. Company to build part OF
its line leading out of Wallula. Camp
will be pitched within a few days and OPP
erations will Immediately start He will
have force of about seventy-fve men.
The stamp sales at the Rossland post
office for the past year were $l4,6l595
divided as follows: First quarter, $3,7O5.-
20; second quarter, $3,36l.ll; third quar-.
ter, $3,4G349 fourth quarter, $4,OS5G5
There were shipped from Prosser l29
car loads of products during 1898, as com
pared with 70 during 1897, according tc
the Yakima Herald. The shipments fol
1898 comprised: Wheat, 20 cars; flour
II; wool, "a; hay, 90; melons, l2 cat
tie, %; sheep, 4. In the one item of cat
tie alone is a decrease shown.
Although the various transcontinental
lines have buried the Ratchet so far a:
through rates are concerned, there is q
prospect of sharp fight for the Kootenay
and Victoria traffic between the Canadian
road and the Northern Pacific. The for
mer threw down the gauntlet with $2.5C
cut, and this has been promptly met by
the rival line.

Oregon Is hound TO NInniIn.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Oregon Is
not going to Samoa, but will go straight
ahead to Manila after taking coal at
Honolulu, according to officials at the
navy department. The dispatch of the
ocean-going tug Iroquois yesterday from
San Francisco for Honolulu was not in
spired by desire to change the Oregon 5
order, for as a matter of fact the navy
department arranged two months ago to
put the IrOquOis to use as dispatch
boat between San Francisco and Honolulu,
pending the laying of cable and this
trip was projected at the time.
OF course the opportunity TO send dis
patches to the Oregon was seized by the
navy department.
