JEWS WILL OBSERVE
THEIR new YEARS DAY
RosH HAsHANAH WILL BE cELE-
RRATEo BEGINNING THIS EVE
MING, CONTINUING 2 DAYS.

The Jewish people will observe the
Rosh Hashanah or New Years day
of the year 5673 beginning at o'clock
this afternoon.
The meaning and purpose OF this
festival is not set forth explicitly in
the Bible, but is inferred from the
scriptural titles of the day, ''the me-
mortal of blowing of trumpets and
the day of blowing the trumpet" as
well as from the fact that the Jewish
new year is the seventh new moon of
the Hebrew calendar. In the biblical
age every new moon was regarded as
solemn occasion, and the seventh,
the sacred number, was especially so.
1t became the day of the blowing
of the trumpet, reminding the Israe-
lie that a new period of time begins,
and that no occasion could be more
appropriate for amendment and re-
Cancellation with God. 1t was the
day of memorial, when Israel felt him.
self held by God in mercifM remem-
brance, but if Israel would have God
mindful of him, he must be mindful
of his responsibilities to Him and to
mans higher nature The symbolic
act of sounding the shophar Or rams
horn, which is performed in the syn
agogues in obedience to the scriptu-
lal precept, is intended to bring home
to the Israelite his responsibilities to
God and to mans higher nature
1t is a day of chastened memories,
day of rejecting on mans frailty
of character. But beneath this SOM
Der sense of weakness, both physical
and moral, there lies in the worship
er's heart the serene certitude of
Gods justice and mercy.
In Brunswick the day will he cele-
brated as usual with the closing of
all Jewish business houses and the
attendance of the people at service.
New Years services will be held on
the third floor of the Brunswick Bank
building, beginning at p. m. today
and continuing through until c p. m
Friday.

There is an electric power plant and
complete system of lighting, and an

WILSON SHOWS DEMOCRATS
MADE GOOD FIGHT IN MAINE
COMPARES REPUBLICAN VOTE in
1904, AND VOTE FOR TAFT WITH
VOTE OF YESTERDAY.

atlantic City, N. j., Sept 10.-Gov.
woodrow Wilson declared himself as
satisfied with the outcome of the gu
bernatorial election in Maine.
Il think the results are very salts
factory indeed" he said, chased on
the results of both four years ago
and two years ago. Two years ago
the republicans were divided, but this
time they were united. That makes
a great difference. In 1904, as I re-
member, republican governor was
elected by $4,000 and Mr.. Taft's ma
Jority was about $4,000.
Governor Wilson added that the es-
sential things to consider was that
while the republicans in Maine had
gotten together, the democrats had
more than held their own, reducing
republican pluralities extensively. He
thought also that the vote in Maine
showed ''the same drift as it did in
Vermont, namely, that the democrats
were not losing but gaining votes In
states ordinarily republican.
The governor came here on behalf
of the state to attend the ninth ma
tional encampment of the United
Spanish War Veterans. He was ac-
companied by his military staff. He
was in the program to review the pa
rade this afternoon and he also de
livered an address of welcome on al
ocean pier tonight.

REVOLUTION IN NICARAGUA
is ON THE wANE
Uprising Has DwindIed to Usual Cen
tral American Revolution.

Washington, Sept. 10.--The revolu-
tion in Nicaragua is on the wane, ac-
cording to advices from Rear Admiral
Switzerland today to the navy de-
partment The admiral reported that
the railroad now completely Is in the
hands of the American landing forces
and that the uprising had dwindled to
the proportions of the usual Central
American revolution
The turbulence appears to have sub
sided in proportion to the rapidity
with which the American marines and
-bluejackets restored traffic on the
railroad line. The road will be in
operation soon from Corinto to Gra-
NADIA, the southern terminus where
there has been much suffering among
the starving people.

PEARLS WILL ADVANCE.

New York, Sept. 10.-Advices re-
ceived in Maiden Lane indicate that
the, past season in the pearl fisheries
has been almost completely unsuc-
cessful The result will probably be
an advance OF 20 to 25 per cent in
the prices Of pearls.
Dealers insist that fine pearls are
very scarce, in both the American
and the foreign markets. They have
risen from 10 to 80 per cent in the
last few months.
