Observe 1t.

Grave solemnity will mark the observa-
ton Of the Day of Atonement, which COM
meneed with the setting of the sun yester-
day. and is completed at the same hour
today. Descendants OF Abraham, devout
in their attention to religious duties on
this day. close up their houses and their
places Of business, and repair to the syna-
gogues. Here the day is passed in the
contemplation of sins committed, and in
prayer directed to the Almighty for for
gfveness. Only the few hours spent in
sleep are passed in the homes and away
from the places devoted to worship. Fast
ing must be duly observed. Neither food
nor drink is permitted 10 the true devotee.
The ceremonies At the syDagogues are
accompanied by the rendering of tradi
tional music, which has probably been
used by the Hebrews since the days OF
King Solomon's temple. This music, OF
ne most solemn and exalted melody, has
besn common TO the Hebrews In every
cline. from time immemorial. The exer-
cisss at the Temple of the Hebrew con-
gregation, Eighth Street, between and
7 Streets northwest, were conducted by
Rabbi Louis Stern, and the musical pro-
gramre was rendered by the able quar-
tette. Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Clln, Mrs
Margaret Nolan Martin, Mr.. Macfarland,
and John Nolan.
The Day of Atonement will be followed
by feasts OF Thanksgiving for the bounties

slider designs for the medal to be adopted
for the celebration. A number CT very
effective drawings were submitted, most
of them having been prepared by local
artists. An extended session was held,
during which the committee was given
some interesting expert suggestions by
Mr.. Barber. While no one design was
selected at the meeting. the committee
noted the best features of those submitted,
and In a general way decided upon the
nature of the medal. 1t is intended that
it shall be as valuable. historically, as
possible, Notwithstanding the short time
available in which to produce 1t, and the
committee hopes to be able to secure a
sufficient quantity of metal of the period

to be made, and # Is thought this will
greatly increase its value. The commit
tee is confident that there will be great

Appeals to Governments to Stop The

Steamers in Default Of

The following dispatches appear ir
the New Zealand Herald:
Wellington. Aug "A letter has
been sent to the Postmaster General
by fifteen New Zealanders, who were
passengers on the X. NJ. S. Moana's last
trip. drawing attention to the manner
in which the American shipping law is
operating to the disadvantage Of ves-
sells sailing under the British flag, SO
far as trade between Honolulu ant
San Francisco is concerned This law
provides that no vessels other than
American shall be allowed to carry
freight and passengers between Ameri-
can coastal ports, and since annexation
the Hawaiian Islands rank as coastal
port. The writer's consider such a po-
sition so entirely opposed to the Brit
ish open door" policy as to call for
special remark. particularly in view q.
the fact that a subsidy Of 100000 is
now being demanded from the New
Zealand Government for a service from
which British ships are entirely eNciuO-
ed. At a meeting Of New Zealanda's
the following resolution was carried:
I'm view Of the American law. viii
prohibits British ships from carrying
passengers and cargo between Honolu-
In and America the New Zealand pas
sengers on board the Moana wish 20
express their hope that a subsidy viii
not be granted to the new American
line If British ships are TO be exclude !
from participating in It," The letter
concludes by hoping the publication Of
these facts will help straighten the
hands of the Government in their well
known desire to obtain fair treatment
for the British flag.
Sydney. Aug. 2.-Mr. Greed moved
the adjournment of the council to call
attention to the effect on the prosper
ity of Australian commerce produced
by the annexation of Hawaii. and the
effect on the mail lines between sgd
ney and America. He pointed out tina;
the American navigation laws prevent
ed our steamers taking passenger car
go at Honolulu. This was serious
handicap to British steamers travelling
to Australia via San Francisco. He in
stanced the circumstances in which the
Moana would be placed as against the
Mariposa and Alameda. In view of IT,
American Company seeking a subsidy
the whole question demanded serious
attention.
/ Mr.. Suffer promised that the Gov
eminent would bring the matter under
the notice of the British Government.
