THE PILGRIM OF FEASTS.
Interesting Jewish Services Celebrated By
The Local Hebrews.

Yesterday the Jews celebrated the
Feast OF Pentecost, the second in the
cycle of feasts called Pilgrim
Feasts, I" in which every male Israelite
was enioined 10 visit the Temple at
Jerusalem. 1t is also known as the
Feast of Weeks, or the Day Of the
First Fruits, the first name due TO
the fact that it falls seven weeks or
fifty days after Passover. and the sec
ond because il marked the beginning
OF the wheat harvest just as Passover
ushered in the season of the barley
harvest.
In the past Biblical times, it re-
ceived yet another name-the Season
of the Giving of the Law, referring
it TO the Revelation on Mount Sinai,
the third month of the Jewish year.
At the synagogues services were held.
During the sunday morning services
a sermon was preached. In Biblical
times the Feast was exclusively agri-
cultural as most of the Jewish feasts
betray their agricultural origin, to
which a religious or historical signifi-
cation has been attached during the
period of the Second Temple. The
nature of this festival
was emphasized by offering on the
altar of the Sanctuary two Ioaves of
bread made of the new wheat. This
offering ushered in the period which
extended over the whole summer, dur
ing which the Israelite fulfilled the
enjoining him to bring his
first ripe fruits of every kind TO the
temple of Jerusalem as an offering TO
God The picturesqueness of the pres
entation of the FIRST fruits by the coun-
try-folks can easily be imagined. The
streets of Jerusalem were teeming
with visitors, with jubilant farmers
who brought the best and choicest of
the products of the field as an offering
to JahoVah

A HEAVY HAIL STORM.
1t Lasted For Half An Hour And PeIted The
Leaves Off Trees.

One of the heaviest hail storms that
has ever visited this county lasting
for a longer period of time, passed
over this section yesterday afternoon
between the hours of five and six
O'Clock. While the hail stones fell
thick and fast in town, the storm
here was not to be compared to the
county's storm.
All along the Severn river, in the
Second district, the hail dropped so
thickly and continuously that the
ground looked as though it was COW
cred with moth balls, and in less than
ten minutes party of gentlemen on
an outing near Grassy Island gathered
up a keg full of hail stones, some of
which were as large as walnuts. The
Oldest inhabitant declares he never saw
anything like yesterdays storm, and
one old man on the Severn declared
ing to an end.
The hail stones were SO large they
beat the leaves from the trees until
the ground was covered with leaves
cut into bits as though clipped by the
scissors. The sight of the hail drop
ping into the Severn river was that of
myriads of fire crackers that had been
thrown into the water and went pop,
pop, pop. as the big stones dropped
into the river in quick succession.
All boats in exposedd places with any
glass about them had the glass shat
tered by the hail stones, which is said
to have done considerable damage
throughout the county to fruit and
crops.

whv kirkwood Shut Do~a.

Some time ago the city OF Kirkwood.
No, was reported to have shut down
the generating plant Of its electric
light plant and made contract for
current with a private company. The
arrangement was not, however, con-
summated, for the company, Mayor
Ochterbeck claims, did not act in good
faith. The mayor gives the further
frank statement in regard to the mu-
nicipal plant:
"Our plant was built about the year
1901, and on account Of it's being a
municipal matter the city did not get
an up to date plant and is today suf-
fering from having a plant that does
not meet the requirements, and the
cost Of production is too high; con-
seQuently it does not pay the city If
we take into consideration deprecia-
ton and the interest on our invest
ment"

been made by an almost unanimous
vote Of the aldermen. This matter has
been under discussion for some time,
and an estimate Of the cost Of a plant
was obtained from an engineer. The
amount OF this estimate. $4,000. seem

another estimate from an entirely dis
interested engineer, who figured that
the cost would be tSs.00Q

Another good piece of road working
in this county is the one from Hardins-
burg to the fair grounds. It's a reg
ular boulevard-a splendid piece of road
work, and as smooth as asphalt. II
does a mans soul good to drive or ride
over it. Do you know how this came
about? Just two or three men put their
heads together, aroused public senti-
ment in favor of it, and public senti-
ment went after the road supervisor
and the road was built Every man,
woman and child in Hardinsburg was
crying for good driveway to the fair
grounds, and they got il. No ordinary
road, thirty feet wide, filled with rock
as big as your head would satisfy
them. They must have the best, the
widest, the smoothest piece of road in
the county, and they got it. People
get just what they go for in this coun-
try. We are glad that public sentiment
was aroused sufficiently to build such
a splendid driveway. It is a pleasure to
ride over a good road, especially in this
county, where there are so many good
horses and buggies; and what we want
is more of just such roads. AL we have
10 do is to put our shoulders to the
wheel and well get it just like they did
at Hardinsburg.
