IrHAs been observed that in recent

IT HAS been observed that in recent
wears more interest is manifested by the
house of Israel in concentrating their
animal feasts than en- former occasions.
10 the larger cities of the United states
this has been especially noticeable.
These feasts are ancient, the New Year
zen days ago. and Yom Kippur, the
Day of Atonement, which began last
night, having been celebrated annually
for the past $500 years. Throughout
the civilized world the Israelitish race
assembled in. their houses OF worship
after sunset yesterday where services
were held as providedin the Pentateuch.
Yom Kippur is the most sacred and
most generally observed of the Jewish
festivals. The Day of Atonement is
the tenth day of the penitential season,
which began with the Jewish New Year
5665 last Friday week. In the days OF
IsraePs national life this holiday was
more particularly celebrated by the
priests in the temple at Jerusalem.
The high priest appeared in the Holy
of HOLES and there confessed not only
his own sins for those of his family but
also the sins and the whole house OF
Israel. The people waited on the out
side of the temple and upon beholding
the priest returning from the Holy OF
HOLES they praised God for having
accepted the atonement of the Priestly
representative. Ia ancient times two
goats we're sacrificed on this occasion,
one as burnt offering and the other
the scapegOat--sent to the wilderness to
carry away the sins of the house OF
Israel. Since 20 A. d., the time of the
destruction of the temple, the sacriti cial
cult has necessarily been abrogated and
the priestly holiday has become holi-
day for the people when every Jew is
expected to make atonement for his own
cine

Death Pact Executed.

Nellie Geyer and James Bay, sweet
hearts, committed suicide at GAINESVILLE,
O., Saturday under circumstances show
ing a premeditated agreement, although
they did not die at the same place, and
possibly not at the same hour. The
girl left letter to her mother. foretell-
ing the deed and leaving nc doubt that
there had been an agreement for the
double tragedy during the night. Mrs.
Parker, with whom Gellie Geyer was
staying, was aroused before daybreak by
groans and found Nellie in a pool of
blood in her room. Later in the day
James Bay was found about three miles
outside the city, having shot himself
during the night while en- route home
from a visit to Miss Geyer. Neither of
the suicides lived long enough to tell the
motive of self-destruction.

THE OBSERVATION of General Sher
man concerning war is fulfilled to The
letter by the operations now in progress
in the East. The venOmOus spirit shown
bv both Russians and japanese in the
horrid war now being waged have but
few parallels in the history of the human
race. It's war to the knife from start to
finish. No attention, it is said, is paid
by either nation to Red Cross flags and
often flags of truce are violated. Japa-
nese soldiers are refused quarter by
the Russians and the former are act
ing upon the blind passion of re-
yenge. 1t is believed that should the
Japanese get into Port Arthur whole
sale butchery will follow. Hence Rus
STA prociaims to the world that she will
resist her adversaries until the last cent
in the treasury is spent and all the blood
of the troops OF the empire is split. 1t
is hard to conceive a more desperate
state of affairs. In the meantime the
resources of an old nation are being ex-
hausted and the youth and flower of
great empire sacrificed to the goddess of
war, while a small but vigorous country,
which was rapidly growing in civiliza-
tion and prosperity, will be set back
probably quarter of a century should
success crown her arms in the conflict
now being waged.

Curious Cause for Turning Coat

Boston, Sept l9.-RObert Treat Paine,
jr., four times offered the democratic
nomination for Governor Of Massa-
chusetts, twice the candidate of the
party and who, against the tremendous
popularity of Gov. Crane, polled the larg,
est democratic vote since the candidacy
of William f. Russell, announces his
intention to break away from the dem.
ocratic party, its candidates and its plat
form, and vote for Roosevelt for Presi
dent. In an interview he says 81 am
democratic enough still to feel that |
want the President of this country dem
ocratic enough TO meet any man whose
character deserves it at any function.
| have myself dined with Booker Wash
ingtOn, and would consider it privilege
again TO do So" Mr.. Paine imagines
that should Judge Parker be elected he
might at some time be compelled to
entertain Booker Washington, when the
South would cry out that it had been
buncoed in its candidate.

State Department official confirmation
of the press dispatches to the effect that
the Russian government has formally
accepted the views of the United States
and Great Britain as to the distinction
between conditional and absolute con-
traband of war. Fuel and other sup
plies that might, under certain circum-
stances, be regarded as contraband, will
not be so judged if consigned in good
faith to an individual in the country of
the enemy, such consignment being ac-
cepteG as prima facie evidence that the
goods are not intended for military pur-
poses.

RECENTLY halfa dozen pertty Georgia
girls discussed kissing from various
standpoints and decided that it is silly
and unsanitsry practice. Accordingly
they organized as the Anti'Kissing Club
and adopted a constitution which pro-
yides, among other things; Each
member shall sign the following pledge
with her own blood secured from her
lips-I pledge myself to never kiss any
one except father, mother, brothers,
sisters, husband and children. / pledge
myself furthermore to never kiss my be-

CHAIRMAN COwHERD, OF the demo-
cratic congressional campaign committee,
will Law before the U. S. Civil Service
Commission copies of the circular SEM
to all the iowa republicans in depart
ments in Washington by Chairman
Spence, of the republican central com
mittee OF that State, demanding cam
paign contributions from them. They
are printed on the official paper of the
republican State central committee and
bear what purpGts TO be the sig
nature of Chairman Spence. They
recite that the republican party in Iowa
is in great need Of funds and suggest
that federal employees from Iowa should
send contributions equalling 3 per cent.
of their annual salaries. 1t has not yet
been ascertained whether the circulars
were addressed to federal employees at
the departments or at their residences.
If the former was the case Chairman
Spence will be amenable to the law for
bidding solicitation of campaign contri-
buttons in government buildings. Ifthe
circulars were sent to the residences it
is question whether the act constituted
a violation Of the letter of the law. There
is no donbt that it was a violation OF
the spirit of the law as interpreted by
President Roosevelt and the commission
but circumstances alter cases add Mr.
Roosevelt will have himself elected il

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10, 1904.

FALL RIVER, Mass, has lost almost
as many of its population by reason OF
the recent strike as are contained in the
corporate limits of..Alexandria, fourteen
thousand persons having left the place.
Unless there is a settlement soon, 1t Is
believed that at least 5000 more opera
tives will seek homes elsewhere. In al
most every section of the city tenantless
blocks and cottages are seen and many
merchants have been financially ruined.
Big stores contemplate giving another
vacation to their clerks. Small shops
are closing in many instances. Few land
lords receive full and regular rents.
People of means are living on past earn
ipgs. The more prosperous of the opera
lives are surviving with the aid of their
bankbooks. The "a, 900 strikers repre-
sent 10, 900 families. OF these at least
5000 families have gone away. VI the
remaining 5000, 5000 are still self'suP-
porting from their earnings of other days,
or from the treasures of their unions
The remaining 1000 families are assist
ed by the relief stations when they are
open, or by the city and State poor boards
whenever application is made, and IN
other WAYS. There is no perceptible
break in the cloud that has hung over
Fall River for the past eight weeks, and
as winter approaches and the needs Of
all classes increase, wholesale suffering
seems inevitable.
