THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS.
Continuation of the Celebration Yes
terdny, the Services Being Largely At
tended.

Yesterday the Jewish celebration of
the New Year which was begun Sunday,
was continued. The service in the morn
ing began at O'Clock, ana lasted until
$50 in the AFTERNOON. Rabbi Sprince
otticiated and there was large atten-
dance. Another service was neId at the
same place at O'Clock in the evening,
continuing for about an hour and half.
Both services consisted of preaching by
the rabbi and singing by the people.
Many of the Jewish places of business
were closed throughout the day, and the
usual noise OF the children in the Jewish
quarters cL the city was not heard. Near
ly all who could were In attendance at
these services. 1t is a we'll known jew
ish religious rule that none are excused
from attending these most solemn rites of
the year except by illness. Rabbi Sprince
spoke at considerable length. He extend
ed to the members of his congregation a
hearty welcome and then proceeded to
dwell upon the solemnity of the occasion
and the duty incun bent on every He
brew to be true to his faith and to make
plans for the highest life in the year now
beginning. He took especial occasion to
describe the feeling of the day as SYM
bolizing the strength and duration of
the Hebrew faith, which stood unshaken
and was yet to stand in the future.
This morning similar services win be
continued at Rossini hall, and at the
same hours as yesterday. Beginning
Wednesday the services VII be resumed
in the Jewish synagogue on Middle
street, near Franklin. 1t was found neees-
sary in order to accommodate the large
number to hold the opening three days
services in Rossini hall. After eight

Judge. Haskell took great interest in the
affairs of his native town OF New
Gloucester, and In 1874 when the cen
tennial of the town was celebrated, he
was the orator of the day. He also pre-
pared the history of the occasion which
was published in that year.
Bowdoln College of which he was one
of the board OF overseers, conferred upon
him the honorary degree of Master of
Arts In 1894
He married in 1867 Miss Elizabeth Par
sons Whitman, of New Gloucester, who
survives him.
Judge HASKELL both as a lawyer and
a judge, was noted for an extreme quick
ness of perception, and the ready COM
prehenslon OF the vital points of case.
He was distinguished on the bench for
his careful preparation of his opinions,
which always went directly to the point
In issue. AS an equity lawyer he stood as
one of the ablest II not the very ablest on
the Supreme Bench of Maine While not
a ploddlng student, he had great love
OF the law. He enjoyed It's subtleties and
technicalities, although he did not allow
himself to become bound up in them.
These characteristics made him a most
useful member of the court, where he did
much valuable service in holding the
practice of the State up to his ideals of
corr sct pleading.
One of the most notable of the opinions
drawn by him was that on the case aris-
ing over the Medical Registration Bill,
which Governor BodweIl vetoed and over
which there arose much agitation in 1887.
This opinion was commented on with
terms Of commendation by the Supreme
Court of the United States In the case
of Field V. Clark, found in the 143d
United States.
Personally Judge Haskell was genial,
agreeable gentleman, although a man
of firm convictions, which he did not
hesitate to express. One of his diversions
was the study OF mechanics, and In his
hours OF recreation he constructed several
model steam engines in machine shop
which he fitted up for his own amuse-
ment. Had he not been an eminent law
yer and judge, he might have besn an
eminent mechanical engineer

REV. BENJAMIN A. ROBIE.


Rev. Benjamin Adams Rob1e, Is years
pastor Of the First Congregational church,
Grafton. Mass, who died in ST. Vim
cent hospital, Worcester, Sept. Is, had
been in poor health nearly year, but
his remarkable courage and Vitality en-
abled him to perform his duties as pas
tor until a few months ago.
Rev. Benjamin A. Rob1e was born
in Gorham, Me-, in 1885, He was edu-
Gated in the public schools of his native
town, and was graduated from Bangor
theological school.
Rev. Mr.. Robie S first pastorate was in
WaterviIle, Me. After a pleasant pastor
ate there for few years, he was called
to larger field in Wilmington. There
he RENAME d 10 years, resigning to accept
the pastorate of the Congregational
church at Groton, and continued to min
lister to the spiritual wants of his people
for 10 years. In 1884 Mr.. Robie resigned
to become pastor OF the Congregational
church in Grafton. At the time the
church was near the zenith of it prosper
ity, and was one of the best COngrega-
tionaI churches in the state outside the
larger cities Rev. Mr.. Rob1e entered
upon his'duties in Grafton with all the
energy and devotion Of faithful servant
of God, and maintained his early zeal
to the end. Earnest in the belief that he
was called upon to do GODS work, he en-
Enthusiastically gave his all to the religion
of which he was most worthy expon-
ent.
Although his exceptional zeal and
ability several times placed larger fields
andghigher salaries within his grasp. he
was ever willing and content with his
humble lot Combining the earnestness
OF the old ministerial school with the
progress1veness of the man, he always
directed his eloquence toward the spirit
ual welfare of his congregation, rather
than with the mere idea of momentary
qualification.
This trait, as we'll as his constant affa-
b1lity and liberality, won him the Rs
spe ct of all who knew him.
In the history OF Grafton probably no
Clergyman was more esteemed by. Protes-
tants and Catholics alike. Ever kind,
courteous. broad-minded, and, above all,
true Christian, his death leaves a
record on the annals OF the Grafton Con-
gregational church to be equaIed in the
future, not surpassed,
AS citizen he was always quiet
champion of right, regardless ofsdenomi-
national ditferencesadvent. Since his
in Grafton he has been trustee of the
public library, and for many years
chairman of the board. Under his careful;
conscientious administration, the library
has steadily prospered and become the
pride OF the town. He leaves two broth
ers, one sister, one son, Edward A. of
New York, and one daughter, Miss Ethel
M. Robie OF Grafton.
