The base ball game between Por-
tage and the local team was pulled off
on the Old Fair grounds Sunday
afternoon as scheduled. While the
field was somewhat wet as result of
the heavy rains in the morning, it
was in fairly good shape at three
O'Clock. The game was attended by a
large crowd, but the play was ragged
on both sides. A large number Of
errors were made and the score was
piled up by both teams. The Por-
tage boys took the game by one tally
to the g0od-the score standing to s..
The Green Bay pitcher who was sup
posed to twirl the game for Grand
Rapids was ''easy money" for the
visit rs, and the locals were compelled
to put in their regular twirler, Barlow,
who was an improvement to a great
extent.
The game was marked Oy general
good nature and was quiet through
out. The visitors were a bunch of
good fellows who conducted them
selves in gentlemanly fashion, and
will be welcomed on any further
occasion. The score by innings was as
follows:

HEBREW FESTIVAL SEASON

The Hebrew New Year begins to-
day and is continuously celebrated for
ten days. 1t begins with Tishi the
seventh month and ends Sunday
September 30th-knOwn as Yom
Kippur-or the Jewish day of atone
ment. The services for this peneten-
tial season begins at sun down and
marks the completion of the year 5667,
as dated from the Biblical chronology
of the creation of the world
Saturday according to this people Is
the day of merry making, but the
most solemn occasion in the Jewish
calender is the last day, or Yom
Kippur. At this time according to an
exchange:
The hosts of Israel come together on this
day for the atonement of their sins in ac-
cordance with the statute to make an atone
ment for the children of Israel for all their
sins once year. In ancient times it was
the token OF sublime brotherhood. 1t was
the custom for enemies to meet at the very
door of the synagogue and there beg each
the day OF atonement must not apply only
to the relation between man and man but
also the relation between man and God.
The day of atonement teaches How goodly
OF families but sad is the spirit of this
union, when he who should clasp his
brothers hand and support him in his hour
of need turns from him and coldly refuses
the help that he should extend, to gladden.
the hearts of his parents if they are living
and to honor their memory if they are dead.

DECORATIONS COMPLETED
s.. Peter { Pauls Church Has
Now Become one of the Beauty
Spots in This Neiehbor hood.

Shearer Bros. of Appleton, have
completed their work Of decorating
the interior of the SIS. Peter s. Pauls
Catholic church. Saturday all day d,
likewise Friday all day, workmen were
busily engaged in tearing down the
mammoth staging used by the
decorators, in order that the church
might be cleaned up for the Sabbath
service. This was no small job when
it is known that there was used in
this staging fully Is, 900 feet of lumber.
The decorations-that is to say-the
fresco and paintings, cost this con-
gregation something like $500 and
| only thu, Vho will take the trouble
TO view the interior Of the church, can
get even fair conception of the ex-
quisltely artistic work performed
The paintings alone are well worth
going far to see, and they are I'M
mistakably the handwork of master.
Fr. Hugenroth. who has watched Mr..
Shearer work from day to day, is
lavish in his praise of that gentle
mans ability.
Not all the work is complete on the
interior OF The church as yet, for new
windows, quarter-sawed oak pews,
new doors, and the graining of the
woodwork is still to be done. The i'm
proyenentS are all costly and the
public as well as every member of the
church congregation should feel CRATE
full to those having the work in hand
for the excellent manner i'm which it
has been performed. The congregation
may well feel proud of their practi-
cally new edifice.
