SHOFAR WILL
SOON SOUND
Jewish New Year Will be
UShered in on Saturday
of Next Week

At the setting of the sun, Septem-
Der 26 will be ushered in the year
1868 of the Jewish calendar, and OrthO-
dox and Reformed Jews the world over
Will observe the day as one of glad
ness. Joyous greetings will be ex-
changed, and in temples and syna-
gogues the historic rams horn, known
as the shofar, will be sounded.
The shofar is the oldest Of known
musical instruments. and its purpose
is to arouse the people from religious
negligence to a more perfect perform
ance Of their duties. In some syna-
gogues the cornet has replaced the
shofar, but in general il is said that
wherever Jews the world over con-
gregate, there the blasts of the rams
horn are heard on the new year.
Rosh Hashanah is the Hebrew name
for the new year. and it is celebrated
on the first day of the month of Tishri.
The Jewish year is shorter than the
year in the Gregorian calendar. and in
consequence the new year. which will
begin on September 26, will expire on
September Is, 1909. Services will be
held in all the synagogues and temples
and special sermons will be preached
Reformed Jews celebrate but one d~y
but with the Orthodox Jews the cele-
bration lasts two.
Whenever one Jew meets a friend
on the first day of the new year hs
is supposed TO exclaim "L'shono tobC
tikoser," which, by a free translation
/ signifies May you be inscribed to Z
year of happiness"

What Street and Sewer De-

Doing in Way Of Paving

The Street and Sewer Department Is
giving New Castle avenue, South WIN.
mington, a coat for winter Having laid
the foundation OF concrete the department
is now laying the coat Of asphalt and by
another week, South wilmingtonians will
be wondering at the strange appearance OF
their main street. The department began
work on the avenue last month with the
idea Of having the work finished before
cold weather. The last stage OF the paw
ing. the laying Of the asphalt, has been
undertaken with vigor and viii be COM
pleted perhaps before next week
From New Castle avenue the paving
force of the department will returna to the
main part Of the city to tackle Tenth
street between Monroe and Madison
streets. Here a foundation has been con-
structed for the asphalt top coating and
all that remains 10 be done is TO apply the
asphalt, which is the simplest process OF
paving the streets. From Tenth street the
department will extend its paving opera
tions around the corner TO pave one square
of Monroe street This work will be COM
longest.
This. of course, is the immediate work
OF the department. Before cold weather
shall have set in the department will have
begun work on many other streets that
are on the list to be paved. A strenuous
effort will be made to have as many
streets on the list disposed OF as is pos
sible before winter

DISPLEASED WITH
DEMOCRATIC TICKET

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Sept. 1.-THE Democratic
ticket just nominated is still under the
scrutiny and general criticism of the
masses about here. Aside from the
statement that a majority Of the local
option men would accept the ticket and
leave to the old party Prohibitionists
the job of running a third ticket, there
were many uppercuts for the new
Democratic ticket from Democrats.
why it was dictated by the rail-
roads and the corporations, who used
the wet leaders and voters Of tho
State to help carry it through" was
one mans public statement on the
street. a man of political influence,
while another added:
why there is not a single farmer
on the ticket-even the Presidential
electors. and they expect to get their
big vote out of the farmers of Della
ware. an agricultural State. Even
the Republicans. who were accused OF
bossing their ticket, looked after this
and have a farmer for governor, two
farmers for Presidential electors, and
farmer for State auditor"
The question of whether the local
option men viii run a third ticket will
unauestionably be brought up and
probably decided tomorrow at a meet
ing here which has been called by the
Anti-Saloon League OF Delaware, Of
which Rev. John NJ. Arters is super
intendent.. There are many local op-
tion men who were in or passing
through Dover to-day. who do not be-
'ieve that the Ant,-Saloon League has
anv authority to either promise Or
force a third ticket, and the political
leaders do not now believe that any
prominent party men Of either the Re-
publican or Democratic parties will be
