The street car strike Is apparently over,
so far as Interference with the operatloi'

of people riding yesterday it is practically
ended. though the striking organization
has not called the strike Off. SLOWLY the
organization Is being weakened by the
return of its members to the company,

sistance they expected, and which they
regard as necessary,
In fact, many of those w:so In the carry
days Of the stubborn struggle were among
the most ardent sympathlzers OF the men
who went out are now tired of the strike,
and Of the sacrifices entailed thereby, es-
pecially since they regard the sacrifice
as vain by reason of the fact that the cars
arc all being operated and patronage
grows steadily. Many of those belonging
to labor organizations which prescribe
fine for riding on the cars during tho
strike arc riding in defiance OF tho pen
atty So far as reported publicly, no mem
Der of any of these organizations has
been fined. Many who are still walking
are weary of tho struggle. and express
the belief that further sacrifice Of their
own comfort Is useless. They will not ride

Organization Holding Out.

Meanwhile the strikers organization is
sticking 1t out and still holding meetings
in Sanger Hall These are not largely at
tended now for the reason that many are
absent from the city and others are at
work or seeking employment In other vo-
cations. Some contributions are still COM
ing In, but not enough TO meet the wants
Of all the men on strike. 1t IS not known
that any Of them are actually In need. but
they are not getting any regular income,
and are looking forward to ne future
when they must face the winter and con-
siderable debt Despite all these consider
atoms many Of the men are mistaken In
their resolve to let the fight go on to the
end, whatever 1t may be. Whether a test
OF strength would show majesty in falaS
of continuing the strike remains to ba
seen.
No violence or disorder was reported
from any quarter last night. On the
other hand. almost perfect order and
quiet reigned and the patronage Of tho
cars was the largest OF any night sincas
the strike was declared Tho fact that
the Casino would reopen the theatrical
vaudeville season mad much to do with
the large patronage. for the theatre was
filled and many others went out to the
Reservoir who did not attend the per-
Torrance. In fact. all the afternoon and
evening the patronage OF the cars was
better than 1t has been since that June
day when the strike was ordered. It was
not difficult to see that. OF course, it Is
not asserted that the patronage is yet as
large as 1t has been when there was no
sentiment against riding but 1t Is gradu
ally growing, one person being Influenced
by the example OF another.

JEWISH FAST DAY.
Feast of the Atonement Begins at Sun.
down this Evening.

The Jewish feast of the Atonement be-
gins at shutdown this evening and con-
tinues until shutdown tomorrow, During
that time no really good Hebrew viii
eat or drink. and all Jewish places of
business will be Theoretically sealed. The
Congregations of B'na Israel and Monte
iiore VIII observe the feast I'm their re.
spectlve tabernaces, the exercises among
the latter being carried on entirely in He
brew Rabbi Reynolds Of the Reformed
Jews describes the event as follows:
The day Of atonement marks the cul-
mlnation OF "A series Of deeply spiritual
and Intensely solemn days, during which,
every faithful and observant jew sur
renders himself to serious thought ana
religious meditation. The fundamental
Idea, which the ceremonies OF this day
are TO symbolic aud acCentuate is that
the spiritual as well as the physical uni
verse Is based upon an memorable law Of
compensatoni every sin of commission
and omission is pregnant with conse-
quences which must some day be trans
lated into the realities of life ana thus
constitute its atonement
I'VE believe that life is "A divine gift.
that the mental and spiritual faculties
are so many sublime powers which are TO
be dedicated to Gods service. that each
one OF us is entrusted with a certain mis-
sion, the nature OF which Is revealed in
everyoncs soul, and that the neglect of
our dlWnely appointed work through the
pursuit OF selfish aims, must find It's
alunelnt0t IN the Individual or collective
destinles Of man. The Jewish idea of sin
ana atonement is neither speculative nor
forCcful; IL Is q mental cOnceptlon of A
real tangible chain of cause and effect
ms manifested In the great process OF
universal life. The gift Of grace is with
In the reach Of everyone through his
ability TO lead a moral good and upright
life. These truths are fOrciblv brought
