Mr.. Wolf admits that the movement
voices the endured agony OF many ages.
that it sounds the trumpet tones of
outraged and prosecuted humanity, yet
he emphatically denies that Zionism is
the remedy. ITO secure recognition, f"

evolved" I should be very thankful to
learn what these remedies are. He con

terms can. and should. appeal to the
heart of the millions of his coreligion-

other places? Does he actually believe
that at the moment Zionism will die out
in Russia. the Kishineving will cease,
the cruel and barbaric laws of ostra-
cism there will at once be revoked and
the Jew be emancipated and suffer no

American Zionists' Patriotism
Take. for instance. all the American
Zionists. and 1 am most positive that
each and every one, individually or as a
body. will be at any time first to respond
to the first call for the defense of the
American flag, which they revere and
cherish most terderly as perhaps no one
else can do.
Ii Is quite unnecessary for me TO
expatiate on this well-known truth. but
l mention It merely as a direct retuta-
ton of Mr.. VOLTS assertion that Zion
ism means disloyalty to country Did
it ever occur TO anyone here to accuse
the Irish OF disloyalty to the American
flag while they made the strongest agi-
tation in behalf of Irish home rule on
the Green Island? Or were any such
char es made against the Germans be-
cause they made every effort TO collect
funds for relatives and aid in the cause
of their kindred and nativity abroad2
Surely. the author of The Jew as a
Patriot" will never find the Jew deprived
OF this great characteristic which he has
SO Justly granted to him. The patriot
ism of the consistent Jew and loyalty
to his adopted home are unquestionable.
And this Zionism agitation can never
reflect, even in the least degree, upon
those whose duty it is to come TO the
rescue OF their suffering brethren and
sisters in barbaric lands, who are tor
tured and massacred without reDrieve
or stay.

Another Rumor.


The rumor monger was busy again
yesterday. This time the Goulds are
coming into Washington over the rights
of way of the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Railroad. which
for the time being is in the hands of
receivers. The company has been ac-
curing good property for a loag time,
and the worst enemies of the concern
cannot deny that it has an excellent line
for either electricity OF steam The
route runs through the levels of the
country; ii has bought all Of the rights
needed to cross the tracks of the Balti-
more and Ohio and half a dozen other
companies; 1t has one line Of cars
now in operation in Washington proper;
It has a big power plant all but nm
ished. and in fact IL has about every
thing Mr.. Gould would need 10 establish
hrst-cIass connection between Baltimore
and Washington and his property at
properties could be bought for little
more than they actually cost the pro-
moters Of the electric railway. In fact,
the views expressed by the knowing
local railroad men yesterday were to
the effect that Mr. Gould had bargain
in sight, If he has not already selected
another route into the city.
At the local Offices OF the electric
company in the Bond Building yester-
day IT was said that the general Of
ficers were still out in Ohio, attending
the refinancing of the company. and no
one here could either affirm or deny the
report This is said to be progressing
satisfactorily. The trouble came upon
the company because 1t could not dis
pose of its stock at a time It needed
money. These were the panicky times
not so long ago, when everybody ap-
peared to be getting ready for the slump
which came later. The company could
not raise cash enough to complete the
work in hand, so the officers concluded
It would be better to suspend opera
tons indefinitely. The action for re-
ceiyer followed.

The Hon. Simon Wolf. of Washington.
has recently INDUCED in a severe crit
iclsm OF Zionism, which the newspapers
have treated as the opinion of one OF
the representative American Jews, for
getting meanwhile that It was the opin-
ion of an advocate OF assimilation. He
starts out with the assimilation OF the
Jew as a matter of necessity He
should have gone no further. and we
might have been equally aware of his
tendency as regards Zionism and Juda-
ism.
Mr.. Wolf can hardly hope that his
theory OF the assimilation of the Jew
will ever be materialized. much less
than his loathed Jewish renationaliza-
tion-yet. If this be. indeed, his earnest
purpose, / cannot quite comprehend the
meaning OF his words: The Jew, to
be of service. must be the pioneer OF
civilization in every land" II. ia sc-
cordance with Mr.. VOLTS decree, the
Jew must either let himself be murder
cd, or assimilated, which is destroyed
by an extinction of the race. how then
shall the Jew be of service, ask, How
thus can he be blessing to the rest
of mankind. as he wishes him TO be. by
aiding in an upbuilding of all the
states?" We must not lose sight of the
fact that the Jew can only then be a
blessing to the nations of the earth
when he exists as Jew. The entire his
tory of past and present will bear me
out in this matter
The best Jew of the past century
doubtlessly was Sir Moses Montefore,
and he was the peculiarly loyal subject
OF the British Queen. With all this his
heart was broad enough 10 comprise
love for his prosecuted brethren in the
lands OF their captivity. He was no less
a Zionist than any of the professed
Zionists. The truly religious Jew viii

Notwithstanding the rumor. II is more
than probable that Mr.. Gould at the
present. has his eyes elsewhere than on
Washington. He has won only a part OF
his fight in Pittsburg, where his rivals,

Ohio, are still opposing every move he
makes. His lines just now are in parts
OF the Smoky City, but he cannot get

so that he can bridge the Allegheny
River He has offered TO make these
tracks public so any railroad can use
them.
All the political influence of his enc
mics. however. has been brought to bear
on the city fathers. and they are holding
up the desired permits. In the mean
time a proposition has been made 10 in
crease the number of men on the com
mittee having the matter in charge TO

Railroad men into the committee. This

SOUND OF THE SHOFAR
WILL Be HEARD AGAIN
Jewish New Year Begins
Next Monday at Sunset.
GREATEST HOLIDAY SEASON
Followed by Day of Atonement and
Feast of Tabernacles-Services IN
Temple and Other Synagogues.

Great preparations are being made by
the Jews in this city for the New Year
services Of the Jewish religious year
1904. which begins Monday at sunset.
Beginning with New Year, on the frst
day of Tishri. and during Tishri, several
of the most important feasts in the Jew
ish calendar are celebrated. The first OF
these Is the period of atonement, or
penitence. which continues for ten days.
The first day is New Year, or Rosh-
hashonah. and the last, or tenth day. Yom
Kipprr. The services at the beginning
OF this period il the reformed church
last for one day only and in the ortho-
dox for two days
on -hashonah the "shofar" or
rams horn is blown TO remind the pious
Jew that the time has arrived when they
must begin their religious lives anew.
The period is one OF self-examinaticn
ana penitence, and OF the most solemn
significance TO the Jews.
A Season of Fasting.
On the last day business is sus-
pended by the most radical as well as
the orthodox Jews. For a period OF
twenty-four hours nothing whatsoever
IS eaten, and a spirit OF rest and quiet
prevades every Jewish community.
This most solemn OF Jewish holy days
is followed 1--WE days later BY eight days
OF rejoicing. which are known as the
feast Of tabernaeles. The festival is
TO remind the Jews OF the period when
their fathers dwelt in tents and booths,
and il also TO celebrate the ingathering
OF the harvest. The first seven days OF
this period in the reformed churches
are TO celebrate the feast of tab
ernacles. and the eighth day to celebrate
the feasts OF conclusion. In the ortho-
dox church these feasts are held and also
one additional, which Is on the ninth day
and is called the festival Of the law.
Elaborate Services.
The services in both the Eighth Street
Temple and that of Adath Israel, at
Sixth and G Streets northwest, Will be Of
the most elaborate character. A special
choir has been provided at the Eighth
Street Temple. while special singing will
be heard at Adath Israel. The Rev. j.
T. Loeb will preach a Rosh-hashonah
sermon on Tuesday morning. Dr. Stern,
Of the Eighth Street Temple, will also
preach special sermons.
