ROSH HASHONAH

New York, Sept. 22.-The cerebra-

val of the New Year, beginning at
sunset this evening and continuing
over tomorrow, will be marked by
special services in all the temples of
the Reformed Jews and the synogo-
gues of the Orthodox Jews through
out the world. To show that the
day is one of significance to the
population of Greater New York it is
only necessary to cite the fact that
the population of this city includes
more Jews than are to be found in
all of the rest of the United States.
This is the beginning of the year
5672 of the Jewish calendar, and
with the exception of Yom Kippur, or
the great fast day, the Day of Atone
ment, the festival of the New Year
is most strictly observed of any in
the calendar. The celebration among
he Orthodox Jews last for two days.
During this time there is absolute
cessation of all work, except such as
might be regarded as charity, or as
an absolute necessity and cannot be
postponed. The days are given up
to religious observances at the syna-
gogues, and rejoicings for benefits re-
ceived. The Reformed Jews devote
only one day to the celebration.

OPERATION BY DR.. TROUT
ON EX-GOVERNOR TYLER
Former Official May Recover,
Though Chances are Against Him

Though Chances are Against Him
Interest here centers around the
very serious surgical operation un-
dergone by James Hoge Tyler, form
er governor of Virginia, at Jefferson
Hospital in Roanoke on Wednesday,
both on account of natural concern
for the former executives welfare
and by reason of the fact that DR..
Hugh Trout, an old Staunton boy,
performed the operation.
Ex-Governor Tyler was accompan-
led to Roanoke from Radford by
members of his family and stood the
operation wonderfully we'll in spite of
his advanced age. The operation
was, however, one of the most diff
ficult known to modern surgery and
the outcome is doubtful.
The former governor was born in
Carolina county, Virginia, August II,
1S46, being a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geogre T. Tyler.He attended Minors
academic school in Albemarle coun-
ty and served as a private in the
Confederate army. In 1877 he was
elected senator and in 1889 became
lieutenant-governor. In 1897 at the
Democratic convention in Roanoke
he was nominated for governor. He
was mentioned several times as an
aspirant for the United States sena-
torship but was never nominated for
that position.
