CELEBRATION OF THE
JEWISH NEW YEAR,

On the evening Of Sept II, and the
day of the 18th. the Jewish people
will observe the Rosh Hashanah4 or
New Years day of the year 1878.
The meaning and purpose of this fes-
tival is not set forth explicitly in the
Bible; we are left to infer them from
the scriptural titles of the day, The
Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets
(Lev. XIII, pa and the Day of Blow
ing the Trumpet Numbers xxx, y
as well as from the fact that the Jew
ish New Year is the seventh new
moon OF the Hebrew calendar. In the
Biblical age every new moon was re-
garded as solemn occasion, and the
seventh, the sacred number, was es-
pecially so.
1t became the day of the blowing of
ing the Israelite that a new period of
time begins; and that no occasion
could be more appropriate for amend
ment and reconciliation with God. It
was the day of memorial. when ISrae
felt himself held by God in merciful
remembrance. But If Israel would
have God mindful Of him, he must be
mindful of his responsibilities to Him
and to mans higher nature. The sym
bolic act of sounding the Shophar or
rams horn, which is performed in the
synagogs in obedience to thescrip-
tural precept, is intended to bring home
to the Iraelite this aspect of the day
meaning.
It is a solemn occasion, though not
a moUrnful one. It is a day OF reflect
ing on mans frailty of character. But
beneth this somber sense of weakness,
both physical and moral, there lies in
the worshipper's heart the serene GER
titude of Gods justice and mercy
At Temple Mt. Sinai, DR.. Martin lie

was full of joy and pride for she felt
sure it was her love ana prayers which
had compelled her companions saliva

During that awful week before the
names were known of those who had
been saved from the wreck her soul
had cried out for George in the name
of love This young woman, with
her healthy soul in her healthy body
had known no other love in all her
life, and now after eight years Of
married life she loved George as
warmly as ever.
During the weeks that George had
been in America, Helen had never felt
uneasy or worried Then came the
dreadful news, the reading of the tele-
grams as they were posted She suf-
fered the tortures of the damned Es-
pecially did she suffer when she read
how women and children had been

Helen began to ponder and worry.
At first George had talked about the
disaster and told of many incidents,
but Helen had stopped him for she
was afraid the strain might turn his
mind.
While he was resting Helen read
what the papes said about the catas-

Helen wanted to know more, and

senator Vardaman discussing the negro
question.
Mississippi is a medium sized state
with a sway back and a beautiful lace
work front produced by the Mississippi
river, which acts as a state line, and is
about as stable in that capacity as a bull
snake. The state rests on a shelf of
Louisiana with one foot in salt water
like Alabama, and is composed of $4,000
square miles of rich, damp soil, es-
pecially adapted for the production of
cotton, corn and darkies. Mississippi
has vast natural resources in the negro
line, and the Yazoo delta has barely
enough white men in it to hold the
political offices.
Mississippi has been a state for 90
years 1t got a good start but was fought
over and trampled over so much in the
civil war that it has been convalescing
in a languid way ever since. It is one
of our greatest rural communities, and
cities are almost as scarce in the state
as polar bears. Jackson and Vicksburg,
the largest cities in the state, do not
contain as many people together as the
polo grounds in New York during cham
pionship series, and when 8Iississippian

QUARANTINE TO
BE- LIMITED TO
few COUNTIES

The first step in the fight against
the California quarantine on the al
falfa of the whole state has been won
by Idaho. In a letter received yesterday,
A. j. Cook the, state commissioner OF
horticulture, promises to make an in
vestigation of the conditions and to see
whether or not he can limit the
quarantine to those counties where
the alfalfa weevil prevails.
The letter follows:
Mr.. r. W. Childs,
Secretary Boise Commercial Club,
Boise. Idaho.
My Dear Sir: In response to your
night letter just received assure you
we havev no desire or inclination to
do you any harm other than is neces-
sary to protect ourselves. l will at
once take the matter up very carefully,
and if we can limit the quarantine to
just the sections infected, we will do
so. 1t seems to me that it will do you
little injury, as you probably ship al
most no hay to California, and 1t is diff
ficult to divide a state in a quaran-
tine, but l will consider the matter,
and If possible will exempt the north
ern part of the state.
Yours truly,

State Commissioner of Horticulture.

Add to these the millions of rural
