III. Jewish feast Of the Passover began
=, undown last night and will continue
'r,1 sundown next Monday. Through
.r, the East Side yesterday there was n
s.,sral housecleaning. The streets were
s,,.red with refuse OF all kinds, and the

furniture
II hasn't been good for the asphalt pave
,.n,s. though, in the Hebrew districts Of
-. lower East Side. Commissioner Liv-
,,sston said yesterday that the bonfires
bsd damaged the asphalt pavements at
.ast $4,000. Mr.. Livingston laid the
natter before Commissioner Partridge yes
,srdav and was assured that the police
would see TO II in future that no fires were
allowed on the asphalted streets.
According TO Hebrew custom, the re-
urou. must also bathe before Passover,

r,pts did a rushing business. 1t was no
unusual sight to see In front Of one Of these
a line OF men almost block long waiting
their turn. Dry goods dealers also did a
thriving business. A religious Hebrew
must be poor. indeed, who cannot appear
IN new clothes to-day. II is even not un-
common for subscriptions TO be raised to
purchase new outfits for the worthy poor.
In the Yiddish restaurants during the
week prices on all dishes will be advanced
Eve cents, because the proprietors are
compelled to 90 TO the expense OF buying
new dishes, knives. forks and spoons. for
none that has been used before may be
used during Passover.
Promptly at sundown last night there
Was a transformation in the streets OF the
lower East Side. The throngs melted
away, the pushcarts vanished and the
doors Of the shops were closed. Practi-
eslly all business was suspe nded and in
a.oh house where the feast was observed
the family gathered around to participate
in the devotions accompanying Its begin
ming. Services were held In the synagogues
