Still digging. Twenty-eight years of it.
Actually we were at it this very day in 1876.
Putting in the first foundations of parts of the
present structure. Going down under the old
Freight Depot to make its first basement, and
holding up the building all the while. Rather
a new idea to Philadelphia. But even
that was much easier than to dig out old Gus

but queer-like, and other notions of the wait

see first whether you succeed or not
To be first at anything is never easy. But
we kept on digging, knowing all the time
that it would be bad not to succeed. but still
worse not to try to do it. A picture of " The
Man With the Hoe" hangs upon a wall
twenty-eight years long. And still we are

Only necessity would compel us to dis
card these old lodgings to which so many
have pleasing attachments. In the passing
years, while waiting for the right time to
build the whole world and a useful expert

JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Occurs To-Morrow.-The Celebration
Begins This Evening.

: New York, Sept. 9.-The Jewish
people throughout the world begin
this evening the religious celebration
of the Jewish New Year, which oc-
ours tomorrow. 1t is a feast of mark
ed significance in their religious cal
endar and is strictly observed by all
the congregations. The year that is
ushered in is 1865. 1t is the New
Year of the Old Testament. and in
the Hebrew tongue is known as Rosh
Hashana. The New Year is an en-
bolismic perfect year of 1856 days,
while the year just closed consisted
of but 354 days.
In America, where the members of
the Jewish denomination are divided
into the orthodox and the reformed
congregations, there are some minor
differences in the manner of celebra-
ting the occasion. In all of them
the ancient ceremony of blowing the
shofar or rams horn, is still used.
In the orthodox congregations, which
cling most tenaciously to the oldt
time ritual, n of the custom is for
the men to appear in the temples
wearing shrouds to typify the signiff-
canoe of the day as a reminder of
death.

compared to that of some of the ga

worldwide regulations. among them
every country of Europe and repre-
sentatives of the laW-making bodies
of the Central and South American

AS its name implies the union
seeks to establish international ar
bitration as a can of settling dis
puteS between nations. One of the
propositions discussed and which is
expected to attract universal atten-
ton, is that the President OF the Uni
ted States be requested to call a sec
ond congress of governments, similar
to that held at The Hague, for the
purpose of negotiating arbitration
treaties between the United states
and foreign governments, n be-
and also for the purpose of consider
ing the reduction of ornaments.
