Monday was Rosh Hashonah,

Monday was R0Sh Hash0nah,
which is equivalent to the Christian
New Year, and ushers 10 the 166lst
year Of the Jewish calender Unlike
the Christian celebration, it is not a
day for rejoicing, but is the inaugu.
ration Of u ten days penitential sea-
son, Of which Yom Kippur is the last
and most solemn. The next ten days
means a great deal in religious way
to the orthodox Hebrew, the services
with which they are introduced being
those which have existed for centur.
les in the Jewish church. The festi-
walls are also observed 10 the reformed
Hebrew church. but there are certain
differences in the ceremonial o. the
two congregations. The Jewish New
Year is called variOusly the "day OF
remembrance" the "day Of judg-
ment," and day Of blowing of the
sbofar." This last name is derived
from the custom Of blowing a rams
born in the synagOgues by one Of the
elders. In this time all the orthodox
Hebrews are told to forgive the sins
of their neighbOrs, at the same time
repenting OF their own sins. 1t Is q
belief amoug the Jews that their old
sins cannot be forgiven until they are
forgiven by their DeighbOrs, and on
this account there il a general visit
ing of one another among the ortho-
dox, asking each others pardon for
any sin which has been consciously OF
uuconsciously committed. YOm Kip
Dur is observed among the pious by a
fast, which lasts all day, neither food
nor water being allowed to pass the
lips. Four days after there is the
feast of Succoth, when every ortho-
dox Jew builds hut Of branches 10
the yard and eats and drinks there,
the most pious even sleeping there.
During this feast they visit the syna-
gogue, bearing branches 10 their
hands OF the palm tree, OF the myrtle,
OF the willow and some sort OF fruit
tree.

regarding the GUayaQuil & Quito rail-

made in the location of the line, as
evidenced by landslides during the past

STANDING OF CITIES
AS TO WICKEDNESS
u. NJ. Deuel. in Town ToDics@

o. NJ Deuel. in Town Topics.)
In a tabulation of police statistics
100 American cities, so scattered as to
cover all sections of the country, have
been selected. their official statistics
couated and then the computations
made on one common basis, to-wit,
1000 of population according to the
census of 1900. The object is to show
the moral tone and condition of 1U0
cities in comparison with each other.
Actual arrests made during a period
Of twelve months, mostly for 1899, or
for a year ending in 1900, were the data
used. It may be suggested that police
activity varies in different cities: that
the police in one city may arrest all
offenders, while in other cities there
may be police sluggishness or leni-
ency or indifference, and, therefore. the
comparison is unreliable. But this
leniency or indifference is never eX-
hibited as to serious crimes. such as
larceny, burglary, arson, frauds, per
jury. forgery. felOniOus assaults. etc
The averages for the 100 cities are
placed at the head of the table. New
York is below these averages; that IS
TO say, it shows a better condition in
every column except as to excise Of
lenses and the cost of police service.
Compared with New York - cities
in serious crimes SO in assault 46 IN
!
IS in gambling, Il in excise, 81 in dis
orderly houses, - in vagrancy and 81
i'm totals. show higher crime rates.
The cities of extreme wickedness are
Norfolk, Savannah and Lexington
KY, which show, in serious crimes, ra-
tics of 24.S1, 25.77 and 24.23, and in
volume of crime 1856. 1858 and 112. 25
respectively. The volume of crime in
Norfolk exceeds that of Savannah to
such an extent as TO overcome the
small difference in serious crimes and
the record of being the wickedest city
in\the United States must be given TO
Norfolk. Savannah and Lexington
Ky, however, make a close second and
third.
Three cities divide the honor of be-
ing best and most orderly. Allegheny
Pa, has 81 in serious crimes and p. %
in volume, Tacoma. Wash, has OF in
serious crimes and 800 in volume:

Neb., is the most economical in police
expenditure and has the largest nu-
meFciat ratio between police and pop
ulation; the cost per capita for police
protection is only SO cents, and there
are 2,67S inhabitants for each member
of the police force.
A plan kindred to that by which Cow
ington deals with po0l rooms is said
to be in vogue in excise matters in
Maine and in some of the western
states, where the sale of Intoxicating
liquor is strictly prohibited Portland,
Me. has 30.S9 and Bangor &C. 96 drunk
ards in each 1000 of population. Bos-
ton. Mass. and Spokane, Wash. each
has more drunkards to population than
New York City has of all the crimes
on the catalogue.
One striking result Of the tabulatiOn
is TO diSprove the general belief that
higher ratio in seriousness and vol
ume Of crime is a cOncomitant of very
large centers Of population.

The county attorney, it is said. is
seriously considering a suggestion made
by the saloon men 10 withdraw the
charge Of malicious destruction of prop
eity and prefer one of insanity against
her. There is no doubt in their minds
that they can hold her upon the pres
ent charge, and they are bound to pun
ish the woman in some form for the
mischief she has done.

ASBECidA NIoiAGobD44dCiANtJ
Washington. Dec. 27.-Miss Estelle
Reel, general superintendent of Indian
schools, has Just issued her third an
nual report on the Indian schools of
the United States In addition to Civ
ing much interesting data, she dis
cusses in an entertaining way the con-
dition, needs, and the prospects Of the
Indian schools, treating the Indian
question in a clear manner and from
d practical point of view.
Miss Reel emphasizes the oversha-
dOWing Importance of industrial train
ing for both boys and girls. The boys
should be taught stock raising and
farming and given q sufficient knOwl-
edge of tools to enable them to mend
their wagons and farm implements and
shoe their horses. and the girls should
be trained in the art of practical house
keeping. The teaching of the house
hold duties to the girls is even more
important than industrial training for
the boys, says Miss Reel for with the
future wives and mothers viii rest the
fate Of coming generations. The In
dian child should be given a knowledge
of the English language, but 1t is not
wise to spend years over subjects for
no use in later life. The problem now
is the selection Of the best method for
Transforming the Indian from con-
sumner to a, producer. He must be
brought to the point where he will
have a respect for the dignity of Ia
Dor and where he win have the am
bitiOn to support his family and not
look to the government for help. The
moment the Indian can be induced to
labor voluntarily for his own welfare
from that moment his future will be
assured. This point viii be reached
only through patient application and
faithful work 2 ong industrial lines.
Favors the Cutting System.
The superintendent strongly indorses
the outing system as one of the most
effective means of training the chill
dren in habits of civilized life. The
outing system, which originated with
superintendent Pratt of the Carlisle

school, Pennsylvania, consists in plac-
ing the Indian children in good white
homes. where they win be treated as
one of the family and paid a small sum
for their services. Here they are con-
stantly subject to civilizing influences
of the most practical nature and ac
quire habits of right living.
The property ownership plan has
prominent place in Miss Reels system
Of training, and the cultivation of bet
ter crops and more acres of land is con-
stantly urged.
Miss Reel also pleads that a compul-
sorry education law for the Indians be
enacted and enforced. She recites the
difficulty and often impossibiiity of in
ducing the old Indians to permit their
children to attend school, and says that
the future of those children should not
be allowed to be blasted by the super
stitious ignorance and prejudice of
parents.
Travels Far in Her Studies.
During the twenty-six months Miss
Reel has been in Office she has devoted
her undivided time and attention to
the betteTment of the Indian. over
seventeen months of this time she has
spent in the field. Her plan of action
has been to visit the Indian in camp
and in the school, observing the pc
culiarities of athe different tribes and
endeavoring to devise plans that will
work the greatest good to the greatest
number and make them self-suppOrt-
ing.
Travel in the Indian country is of a
very difficult and fatiguing character
reservations in the west being far
apart and located in wild and remote
regions of the Rockies, in almost in
accessible canyons, or isolated on the
bosom of vast prairies. To reach them
the superintendent has Travelled Al, 1876
miles, 2,0S1 miles being by wagon. on
horseback and on foot
Increased enrolment better accom-
modations, greater facilities for indus
trial training and gratifying improve
ment over previous years are noted
Miss Reel speaks in the highest praise
of the earnest Christian administra-
ton of Commissioner w. A Jones.
