SLACK AT THE QUARRIES.
Decrease In Amount or stone Quarried
and shipped.

For the past week or ten days there
has been a very noticeable falling off
in the amount Of stone quarried and
shipped from the quarries Of the Stand
dard Lime and Stone COMPANY OF this
city. Inquiry developed the fact that
there was great falling Off in the
orders and parties to whom the stone
has been shipped regularly. have
ordered these shipments discontinued.
This decreased demand for stone of
this quality at this time makes things
look discouraging for the coming win.
Ter. If the orders do not come in in
the next few days one or more of the
quarries will be closed down.
In speaking with several gentlemen
who are interested in these quarries
the reporter learned that at this time
of the year it was customary for the
large furnaces to>shut down for re-
pairs, but the general belief among
the stone men is that the furnaces
have been closed down in definitely.
There is large amount of steel on the
market and the price is dropping sew
eral points each dav. The shutting
down of the furnaces for an indefinite
period, it is believed, is being done
to materially decrease the visible sup
ply of steel and iron and thus force
up the price again.
One of the gentlemen said this morn
ing that he expected falling off 10
the demand for stone next year, as il
will be a presidential wear, but he
was surprised that the demand for the
stone should be falling off SO soon.
1t is learned from a most reliable
source that the business of this par
ticular company has been less during
the present month than during any
month In the past three years.
This is an very bad outlook fol
the people of this city for the coming
winter and it is to be hoped that the
business along this.line will soon pich
up.

Mr.. Jacob Trammell, who went 60
Baltimore ON Wednesday to consult a

certain whether an operation would
be of any benefit, or what treatment
should be taken, returned last evening
on train No. /.
He reports that the specialist. after
an examination. decided that an ope-
ration would be of no benefit at all,
as it would in no way restore the sight,
and that it was useless. He, however.
administered a treatment for the eyes
which he thinks will be a decided
aid in restoring the sight. His ewes
have of late been giving him no lit

most left him. His friends will be glad
to know that there is hope that the
sight will be restored.

JEWISH FALL FESTIVAL
New Year Season, Ending With
Day Of Atonement.
CEREMONIES BEGUN MONDAY
SHUTDOWN lnaugurates the Annual Celebration
Of the Jewish New yesr--WiI
last for Ten DAYS.

Hebrews all over the world are Gel
ebrating the Jewish New Year. which
commenced Monday at shutdown. New
Year falls on the first day of the
seventh month of the so-called lunar
calen lar. The determination of the
New Year depends upon legend found
in the talmud. which says that the
universe was created at the time OF
the autumaal equinox. and in accor-
dance with this legend the Jewish
New Year commentaries the begin
ming OF the world.
New Year begins the series of ten
days known as the Days of Penitence.
and ends with the Day of Atonement
the most solemn of all the feasts of
the Jewish religious cycle. During
the DAYS of Penitence orthodox Jews
retire from the pleasures of the world
and pray daily in the synagogues.
The reformed Jews only observe two
davs-New Years and the Day of
Atonement.
New Year is known by three names,
suggested by three verses in The Bible.
which command it's observance. The
names are Beginning OF the Year, =
DAY OF Memorial" and DAY of
Blowing the Trumpet" Because OF
this last the rams horn Cor shoplar)
is blown several times during the
morning service. The blasts are in
tended to arouse the people to con-
sciousness of Gods rule, a-review of
their deeds of the past and resolutions
for the better in the future.
Services will be held in the 81 ma
gogues at midnight Monday, and at
the close of the ceremonies the people
all pass the compliments Of the season.
wishing one another a happy New
Year.
In the reformed temples number OF
special PRAYERS will be said and eiab-
crate musical programs. in which
much of the music is traditional, will
be given.
The New Years itself is devoted to
calling, and among the Jews. ort he
dox and reformed alike, the pretty
custom of sending New Year cards
prevails. Some of these are plain and
others verv elaborate. The day Of
atonement acquires its solemnity from
the fact that the Dietv Is supposed
to sit in Judgment on the universe Oh
that dav. In the ten days between
New Year and the Day of AtoDemenI
He records TIE deeds of men and or
the Day of Atonement passes judy
ment on them. Men are given the ter
days between the two feasts in which
to repent of their sins. aud if their re.
pentence be sincere they are forgiven.
At the evening meal on New Years
night it is the. custom among the Jews
to eat bread and honev. symbolic Of
the blessings and sweetness of life.

INTEREST IN SCHOOLS

Should Be More KeenIy Alive.
STUDY or The CONDITIONS
Hinder Which the Educational Work Of the
City is Carried on is Also
Urged.
Urged.

AS one walks through the streets of
Martinsburg. the observing person
cannot help seeing that a spirit OF i'm.
proving things paryades our people.
Sidewalks are peing improved and
made more substantial, an effort has
been made to improve the streets. new
buildings are going uD new homes are
being built. old ones are receiving
new aud fresh coats of paint. the fac
tories are enlargin0 and there seems
to be the general spirit OF growth
everywhere. AS one looks back over
to years, great deal of Improvement
can be seen. The newspapers come in
for their share of and in the good
work. They have daily and weekly
noted the various improvements as
they have occurred and been projected
by our MANY citizens. These various
reports. plans and projects reveal the
ideas of their projectors in tie various
lines of work in which each is inter-
-ested and in which he is spending his
life energies.
In all this good work. the schools
have not been left out. Thew have
come in for share of the interest and
notice. But we. the principals OF the
various schools, believe that a greater
interest would be taken in school at
fairs, and in educational subjects gen.
erallv, were we to give to the public
more of the TOPICS discussed in our
meetings. The meetings are not pri-
vate, not intended to be such. We
teachers are all of us public servants.
and the public has right to know
how we progress. on what principles
we base our work, whether our
methods of work are rational. in ac
cordance with the great laws of growth
of mind and body and character !;
whether we have the most favorable
conditions for his great work. or wether
we are working in very unfavorable
conditions. SO that the best results
cannot be gotten and ought not to be
expected.
A large part of the teachers work
is to see to it that there are condition
favorable for the best work. 1t is the
chief work of citizens, parents. and
teachers to study continually to know
what are the best conditions for men,
tai growth. and then to strive to the
utmost to secure there conditions. If
it is the proper thing to tax the city
to it's constitutional limit that there
may be favorable conditions for bodily
health in the procuring of water. is it
of less importance that the conditions
should be of the best possible for
healthy mental life? If a cesspocl of
water is menance to bodily health.
is not cesspool of ingorance and vice
lust as bad for the mental health of II
people? These are some OF the things
that we ought to study and discuss.

Producing Cold Ar,ificially.


The production of cold by artificial
means began in the warmer climates,
especially in India, China and Egypt
where ice and snow were not ayaiia.
BILE. 1t was early discovered that
porous receptacle would keep the con.
tents cooler than non-porous. In Egypt
and East India the vessels containing
the water to be frozen were covered
with stalks Of corn or sugar cane. Ref
crences are found in the works of
many ancient authors indicating that
some of the principles OF artificial re-
frigeration were understood by the
Greeks and practiced by them in cool.
ing water and various other drinks.

and put them In trenches. The discov.

posed to the air is susceptible Of great.
cr evaporation than cold is generally
ascribed to Nero, although Aristotle
relates that, if it was desired to cool
water suddenly, it was customary tc
expose it first to the suns rays. 1t Is
believed that saltpeter for refrigerating
purposes was first used by the Italians
in 1850. The liquid to be cooled was
put into a little-necked bottle, which
was immersed in a receptacle filled
with cold water. Saltpeter was then
added to the water of the outer vessel,
and the bottle containing the liquid
to be cooled was twirled around on
its axis like a modern ice cream freezer:
