STEAMSHIP ASHORE IN
UPPER NEW YORK BAY
Paloma, of Porto Rico Line, Strands
Early This Morning During
Dense Fog.

NEW YORK, June 12.-During the
dense fog which hung over the harbor
during the night the steamship Paloma,
of the New York and Porto Rico Line,
went ashore at o'clock this morning
on Oyster Island In the upper bay.
When the mist cleared. a little after
daybreak. the crew of a Lehigh Valley
tug, off Communipaw, saw the vessel
high and dry on the island. She put
out to her and tried for two hours to
drag her off, but without success.
At o'clock the Mutual Towboat Com
pany sent out a small boat in answer to
distress signal. Captain Mclean. of
the stranded freighter reported all
hands well. and asked that his chief
mate, Simpson. be taken ashore. Simp-
son went to the offices of the New York
and Porto Rico Steamship Company, at
Broadway, to report the mishap.
The ship escaped damage. but is lying
in a precarious condition, as there are
number OF rocks on the reef. Even
at high tide 1t will be no easy job to
drag her off the bank.

HEBREWS OBSERVE
THE FEAST OF WEEKS
Special Services Held Yes
terday by Congregations.
Festival the Anniversary of the Pro-
mitigation of the Decalogue on
Mount Sinai.

Yesterday the Hebrew Congregations
of the city held special services in COM
memoration of the Jewish festival, She
buoth, or Feast of Weeks. The services
began with Appropriate exercises at sun
down Tuesday, and continued during
yesterday.
The special significance of the feast
is that it is the anniversary of the pro-
mitigation of the Decalogue on Mount ST.
mai. The feast also typifes the termina-
ton of the counting of the seven weeks
from the offering OF the omer at the holy
temple, the ancient period of harvest.
1t is also called the Pentecost from the
Greek, which means ''fiftieth."
Services at Hebrew Temple.
Perhaps the most important services
of the day were those held at the He
brew Temple on Eighth Street The
regular services as prescribed for the
feast of the Pentecost began at o'clock
yesterday morning and the annual con-
firmation took place at 1915 a. m.
The synagogue was filled at both
services. The chancel was beautifully
decorated with palms and flowers. ar
ranged artistically, and on either side of
the pulpit were large vases Of cut
flowers. The music which had beer es-
pec!ally prepared for the occasion was
impressive and beautiful.
Five Candidates Confirmed.
Five candidates were prepared for
confirmation. and promptly at 1915. pre-
ceded by two sponsors, they were march
ed up the aisle. The class consisted OF
two boys and three girls. The boys were
attired in black and the girls in pure
white. Each carried bouquet of flow
ers. The floral prayer was offered by
Miss Elsa Coblenzer.
Rabbi Stern conducted the examina
ton in the principal doctrines of Ju-
daism During the course of the public
examination the following short ad-
dresses were made by members of the
class:
Loyalty to the Past" Howard Ehr-
Itch; Loyalty to Our Mission" Leona
Young; Loyalty to Our Faith" Juniata
Kaufman; Loyalty to Humanity" Elsa
Coblenzer; Loyalty to Our Country"
Stanley Lansburgh. The remarks were
delivered without the slightest hesita-
ton, and formed a very interesting fea-
ture of the services.
