FESTIVAL OF HoSn 1d-SnOnan is Sele-
brated Today.
Fanfare of rams horn trumpets,
thirty times repeated, ushered in the
Jewish new year in all synagogues this
morning. Jews, orthodox and reform
ed, united in observing the festival of
Rosh Ha-Shonah, the head of the
year." bowling low at the call of the
sacred rams horns and murmuring the
prayer, 'Inscribe us in the book of
life, o Lord" which runs like re-
frain thru the days ritual. There
were solemn services in all Hebrew
temples this morning, altho the ortho-
dox synagogues started their devo-
tions at sundown yesterday, when the
feast began.
Years Fortunes Allotted.
Besides being the first day of the
Jewish year 1861, since the creation of
the world, Hebrew tradition makes it
the annual day of judgment, when the
fates and fortunes of the chosen peo-
pie are allotted for the coming twelve
month. That is the significance of the
prayer, ''1nscribe us in the book of
life, 0 Lord and the greeting, MAY
you be written for good year." with
which all Jews salute one another to-
| day. Casting up the dead years bal.
| ances of good and evil. God rewards
or punishes nations and individuals as
| their acts deserve, according TO Jew.
| ish tradition, and writes down the fate
| of each in the book of life.
| Orthodox Jews give public testimony
of their desire to begin afresh by seek
| ing out running water and casting
bread crumbs upon it as symbols OF
the sins which they would throw off.
| Pockets are turned inside out as fur

| alton.
! Here in Ottumwa, there being no
| synagogue, the day was not observed
| in a religious way. Stores were clos.
ed, however and the day spent quietly
| at home. The Russian Jews of the
city secured hall and held the regu.

Greets the Jews of America.
London, Sept. 24.-Rabbie Hermann
Adler sends the following greeting to
| the Jews of America: "The chief
rabbi of the Hebrew congregations OF
the British empire heartily wishes his
American brethyen a divinely blessed
and therefore happy new year, rich in
high endeavors and the accomplish.
ment of duty. The Jews of America
and Great Britain have much in com.
mon. Their hopes and ideals have
been conceived amid an environment
of tolerance and liberty which are
characteristic of the English-speaking
peoples. The names of Disraeli and
Montefiore are cherished no less by
the Jews of the United States than by
their co-religionists in the land hon,
ored by having been the birth place OF
such men. In the growing community
of interests between the great Anglo
Saxon nations, the British Jews are
cad to feel that there is union of our
hearts with those of the Jews in the
splendid republic across the sea.
Hermann Adler, Chief Rabbi"

This picture is made from a photo
graph of the celebrated "~tarasque,"
which is carried annually in the great
parade and feast Of st. Martha, in
France.
The animal is about ten feet long,
and it takes eight or ten men to carry
it. They have a lever which opens it's
mouth and wags it's tail as they march
along, to the merriment of all the chill
dren, and sometimes to their ear.
It is supposed to represent the orig
ina1 "~tarasque'' which LIVED in a cave
near Tarascon, which is in the de-
partment of the Mouth Of the Rhone,
France. Shortly after the death Of
our Saviour St. Martha sailed from
the Holy Land to convert h Gauls
at the mouth of the Rhone. She was
told by them that they would embrace
Christianity if she could either tame
or kill the voracious ~"tarasque," which
had been eating up the stray children
in that vicinity. She therefore armed
herself with a bottle of the holy water
and proceeded to his cave. Throwing
some of the holy water on his head,
he became tame immediately, and she
marched him into the Town of Taras-
con, with her girdle around his neck,
so the people believed in Christianity
and embraced the faith.

Republican party attempts to in

lish no good but it will help to
perpetuate the feeling of section
alism which now happily has al
most disappeared.
Does the Republican party
wish to fan sectional fires, and
that without doing the least bit
of good to anybody! The party
has congress now by an over
whelming majority and can do
anything it wishes. That ought
to satisfy the greediest map-

If the good sense of the Repub-
