with his window opened toward Jeru-
salem as in the days Of the Babylonlsh
captivity. Yom Kippur, the Day OF
Atonement. was more generally observed
By tbe half million of Israelites in that
CITY on Wednesday than at any time in
wears. The synagogues throughout the
CITY as we'll as every Hebrew theatre
were crowed. In every hall on the eas'
side there we're congregations al prayer
There were not enough meeting places K
accommodate the thousands, and men,
women and children visited Central PARK
for the purpose of prayer. Men wrapped
in white shawls and with prayer book, in
hand occupied the benches in the park
More than ten thousand visited the
Brooklyn Bridge on foot, and the mos
orthodox emptied their pockets into the

mittee will accept the State committed 5

dictiOn.
