Jewish Holidays.

Preparations are being made by thelsra-
elites of this city for the month ofIlshrl,
wherein are celebrated the three most
important Jewish holy days. The first
or these. Rosh Hashonah, falls on Sep
tember % and the services will COM
mence in the Synagogue on Washington
street at 1880 O'Clock Monday evening
next, Rev. Mr.. Rauch, Of Cincinnati,
conducting the same. This anniversary
marks the commencement of the 5664th
Jewish year. The first 10 days OF the
wear are days of penitence and eliminate
in the Day of Atonement. Five days
after that is celebrated the Feast of
Tabernacles-th Jewish Thanksgiving.
Jewish New Years Day among the
orthodox has for its distinguishing
feature the blowing of the "shofar."
This trumpet-cSll is designed to serve as
a summons to all Israel to enter upon
the work of sanctificatiOn and prepare
for the Day of Atonement. 1t IS the
Jewish belief that ON this New Years
day the deeds of men are weighed and
their destinies determined. Atonement
Day is the day of national humiliation,
the only fast day commanded in the
Mosaic law, and the most widely OBJ
served of Jewish holy days. Business is
suspended for that day by the most
liberal as well as the most orthodox.
Services appropriate to these occasions
will be held in the synagogue in this
city, Rev. Mr.. Rauch officiating at each.

Saws Assault Was Unprovoked.

Mr. Harry Simpson, who was arrested
ST Riverside Park last Wednesday while
an excursion was in progress there, says
his experience was akin to that OF sew
eral Alexandrians a few years ago who
were numerically beaten at the same
resort by the same parties. He says the
assault was made by members Of a fam
,iK living in the neighborhood Of River
,side Park. and that it was unproyoked.
According to Mr.. Simpsons version OF
abe affair. he was in buggy with his
wife. when several men belonging to one
family, including the father, blocked the
road. When he asked them to step
aside and allow him to pass they cursed
and threatened him with bodily injury.
He called the attention of the men
to the fact that his wife was with
him in the buggy, and this made
them repeat their harsh language.
One of the men took hold of the
horses bride and another seized
loaded whip and dealt Mr.. Simpson
blow on the head Other members OF
the party struck him with their fists
until he became almost uDronsclous.
