SUFFRAGIST NOT SUFFRACETTE
Mrs. Robert Moss COrrects Error Of
Governor During BOY Scout Meet
ing Last Night.

An incident no less amusing than II
was corrective, occurred during the
meeting in the House Of Delegates
hall last night, when the preliminary
plans for the formation of a local
branch of tie Boy Scout of America
were laid dowa.
1t happened when Governor Colds
borough extended an invitation to
che women present to give their
view concerning the movement, after
he nad heard from several Of the
gentlemen in the audience.
should be delighted. . said the
Executive, IF some of the ladies
here present would say few words,
as ! feel that a mother is more intel
ligently equipped 10 tell of what is
best for the general welfare of a son. =
There were about dozen ladies in
the audience but none apparently had
any desire to speak on the subject, at
least they made no move to that effect.
So, presently the Governor, arising
from bis seat, said laughingiy /:
Then, ! assume there are no 'suf-
fragettes' among the ladies present,
as ! believe that they would like to
talk upon such a subject. "
: Whereupon Mrs. Robert Moss, who
is among the strong workers in the
Just Government Leagues was quickly
on her feet, and said, somewhat point
edly: "Mr. Chairman. there are no
suffragettes, but there are several
suffragists among US.
And the Governor. very politely,
though somewhat embarrassed, ac-
knowledged the slip he had made in
differentiating between the two
terms.

Tomorrow is St. Matthews Day.

Tomorrow. September 2, is known
in the church calendar as st. Mat
thew's Day. St. Matthew, an Apos-
tie and Evangelist was Jew, the son
of Alpheus. His Hebrew name was
Levi. He was an officer appointed to
collect the hateful Roman taxes,
hence the name publican. Too fre-
quently the publicans were harsh and
dishonest, consequently to be a pub
Iican was to be hated by the people
generally.
Our Lord saw Matthew sitting at
the seat of custom and said: Follow
Me-" This was sufficient. After
the Ascension, Matthew preached the
Gospel in Judea. and afterwards in
Parthia and Ethiopia. He wrote his
Gospel in Hebrew, and this is said to
have been translated into Greek bv
one of the disciples. Special ser
vices at st. Anne's will be held at 7
a.ssm. 10 q. N. and p. m. tomorrow.

DAY OF ATONEMENT.
YOm Kippur Begins TOnight-A Jewish
Holiday.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atone
nent the most solemn of all Jewish
bolidays. will begin at sunset this
evening and end when the sun disap-
pears behind the horizon tomorrow.
This Sabbath Of Sabbbaths, as il
was termed by the old teachers, is
,bserved by the Jews the world
over. During the twenty-four hours
they abstain from meat ana drink.
Nothing passes the lips. The entire
neriod is devoted to prayer, and in
.orne of the extreme orthodox church
es the worshippers, attired in their
white shrodds, 10 not leave the syna-
poqus from the beginning TO the end.
In all Of the reform congregations
the music is in conformity with the
.olemnity Of the day. The evening
services. beginning at sundown lasts
until about 9 o'clock. the worship
pprs returning tomorrow morning at
Z o'clock The serious character i'm
pressed upon the day from the time
of is institution has been preserved
10 the present day. No matter how
much else has fallen into desuetude,
so strong is its hold upon the Jewish
conscience that no jew, unless he has
cut himself entirely loose from the
synagogue, will fail to observe the
Day Of Atonement by resting from his
daily pursuits and attending services.
The mosC impressive feature of
the dav is the service for the dead,
when prayers are offered for the
repose of the soul. All worshipers
confess their sins and express pen
itence Services applicable to the
day are preached at the City Assem-
bly, Rooms, the rabbi expounding the
law which makes necessary atonement
for all sins if Gods favor is to be
retained. The Day Of Atonement
marks the close of the penitential
season. When nightfalls the shofar is
blown and the worshipers 60 to their
homes.
All Jewish stores and places of
business in town will be closed tomor-
row until sunset.
The Rev. Glass, of Baltimore,
Rabbi, and the Rev. Zenith, Of An
napois, will officiate at the Atone
ment services, or Yom Kippur. On
this occasion the pious Jew becomes
forgetfu of the flesh and its wants
and banishing hatred, i'll feeling and
ignoble thoughts, seeks to be occu-
pied exclusively WITH things spirit

is given over to prayer, fasting and
charitable works.

tend. Rev. Mr.. Holloway telegraphed
from bis home in Wilmington, Del. !,

According to Attorney General Poe,
the question as to whether or not rae

yesterday that in his mind il is en-
tirely up to the commission. Asked
whether the racing at Havre de Grace
could be stopped, Mr.. Poe stated:
Assuming that the law was
regularly passed and the Hartford
County Racing Commission has
complied with its provisions in Ii
censing the meet, and that the race
track people have not violated the
terms of the license. there is. in
my opinion, no way in which the
meeting can be stopped except by
the act of the commission itself.
