Pittsburg, Pa, June 28.-Greater
Pittsburg walked yesterday amidst
intermittent thunderstorms and tor
rid sun. After s o'clock yesterday
morning only one street car carrying
the United States mail moved in the
city or suburbs. Persons living in
outer Allegheny county used the mas
tily provided shuttle train of the
Pennsylvania railway and the Balti-
more and Ohio.
Downtown Pittsburg was deserted
for the entire day except at the head
quarters of the Amalgamated street
railways employees and the offices OF
the Pittsburg railways company. At
union headquarters the strikers con-
gregated early. The men unitedly
declared for long, hard fought
strike.
At the offices of the Pittsburg Rail-
ways company the executive officers
consulted all day, planning their cam
paign to break the strike and to quick
ly settle the traction tie-up problem
The day was marked by only one
clash between union men and would
be strike-breakers. Two negroes APP
piled to the superintendent OF the
Homewood car barns for situations,
and were set upon by alleged union
sympathizers and chased from the dis
trict.
Conveyances were early placed at
premium by enterprising wagon and
cab owners. The taxicabs OF the city
did stupendous business and wore
allowed to break speed limits.
At many of the churches morning
and afternoon services were dispens-
ed with.
Rev. DR.. A. Fisher of the Wylie
Avenue Baptist church, an arlstocra-
tic congregation in the Heron Hill
district, made reference to the strike
situation at his morning worship how
ever in the words following:

tormen and conductors are only ask

tors could have granted without strain

such as marked Pittsburg by trail
of blood during those unforgettablc
days of the Homestead strikes"

is the dwelling in "tabernacles," or booths, for seven
days. Under a perfect blue sky, surrounded by these
eternal hills round about Jerusalem" amid ancient olive
trees, or in desolate, stony fields Of ruin, stand the little
Jewish colonies-and by each house its little "succa" for
celebrating the feast. Each colony has its own syna-
gogue and here the rabbi leads the congregation in the
songs of thanksgiving, while the women prepare the
festive meal to be served within the green booth. Here
the family will meet in deep happiness, because they
have been able to fulfill the command of Moses, their
"lawgiver," once again-and in the Holy Land.
The feast of Thanksgiving commentaries, Gods good
ness in the past to the Israelites in the wilderness. Their
long wandering in the journey to the promised land is
s%ymbolized by their residence by day in these booths for
the space of a week. This festival is also called the
feast of Ingathering. This thought is illustrated by the
plants in the "succa" and by the branch with which
it is built; also by the palms and willows and lemons
which are brought into the synagogue and rejoiced over.
All the services are exceedingly picturesque and all
the customs are surrounded by ~symbolical tokens and
people belong to a past age, when man chung to symbols,
and to an oriental cline, where all speech is fowery and
filled with imagery. In this land, sacred by its wonder
full history, mystic by its strange traditions, ancient be-
cause the birthplace of venerable religions, where the
hills speak sorrowfully of what has been and is no more,
there is something peculiarly touching and appropriate
in the continuance of these old@time customs.
The construction of these "tabernacles' furnishes a
time of great amusement to young and old, for all mem
bers OF the family take part In the rearing and decorat-
ing of this airy home within which the feast is to be
celebrated. Some choose the large, open courtyard of
the house for the site of this temporary residence and

issue forth in family groups, escorted by their brothers
or male friends, to visit the synagogues. Boys ana
youths are already assembled in and about the syna'

being greeted with wishes for their marriage that year.
They go up to the "Sepharim," the scrolls OF the law,
embrace and kiss them, looking shyly round the syna-
gogue, and depart to make room for other groups.
Many marriages are brought about as a result of this
visit to the synagogue. The whole week is a fayorite
time for arranging marriages by heads of families and
for celebrating b%etrothals.
If a youth or a maiden in the home are of a marriage

this feast as an appropriate occasion to plan for their
marriage and even to solemnize the betrothal before the

have in charge the choosing of the right parties and

and scented plants. The reeds are fresh cut and still
covered with leaves. The family set to work immedi-
ately to remove the leaves and to sort the different
sizes and thicknesses, cutting them all the required
lengths. Then the construction Of the temporary domi-
cie begins.
There are specific rules to be observed. The booth
must not be round or circular, but of four corners-that
is, square or oblong; and the roof and walls must let
in light and air. There should be no windows, but as
many doors of entrance as is practicable, Putting up
the corner pillars and joining them strongly with stretch.
ers, the rest is formed of pretty lattice work, and in in.
tervals the stems of green plants are inserted, which are
made to cover the walls and roof, the leaves projecting
inside and out. For the arched doors the choicest
branches are selected. Then comes the decorating of
the booth, and the women suspend glittering lamps
from the roof and silk and damask curtains, hanging in
graceful folds on the walls within and before the en-
trance. 1t is not the season of cultivated flowers, but
lemon branches and wild flowers are procurable and
festoons Of them adorn the corners of the archways.
The "succa' is to serve for dining and reception room
during the first seven days of the feast, according to
the command, "Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all
that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths" No meal
must be eaten outside of it, visitors are received in it,
and all religious exercises or reading must be held in it,

of the seven days.
