NEW JEWISH YEAR.

New York, Sept. 14.-The setting
of the sun last evening ushered in the
Jewish new year 5673. The festival
is one of the most important of the
Jewish calendar and is sedulously OBJ
served by the reformed and orthodox
alike. The orthodox carry the OBJ
servance over two days, during which
time they cease all work. The re-
form Jews celebrate only one day.
There are more than sixty Jewish
churches in Greater New York, but
even this large number is insufficient
to accommodate the large number of
worshippers on important feast or
fast days. This lack of adequate &C
commOdation is not to be wondered
at, in view of the fact that nearly
100000, or considerably more than
half of the total number of Jews in
America reside in this city.
For the present holiday season the
Kehillah, or Jewish Community of
New York, has made arrangements to
use a number of provisional syna-
gogues. The organization has also
made arrangements for the holding
of services for the benefit of the Jew
ish inmates Of the tuberculosis camp
at Westfeld, at the emigrant station
at Ellis Island and in various other
public institutions.

THIS FROM BURSLEY.
Kansas Citv Sent

hduSdS C1Cy, sept. lO.
Dear Friend: Just thought I'D
drop you a line that you'd know I'm
still alive, but that's about all, This
is some village. Every other one you
meet is black. I think there are
about five million people in this
town. In three blocks on Broadway
tonight I met 10000.
The only way could get along was
close behind a big cop. He stopped
and asked me what I was following
him for. Yesterday I was run over
by an auto, and a suffraget kicked
me in the shins for nothing, just pure
meanness.
A delegate from Montana got to
fooling with "a little iron box on a
light pole. Pretty soon a big bell
rang and the fire department came
down there and big cop wanted to
pinch us all.
I can't find anything to eat that I
like, and it is so darned hot I can't
sleep. Otherwise I'm having a fairly
good time. Missouri and Kansas may
be all right but little old Bemidji
looks pretty good to pa. Your friend,
Fred Bursley.

BATTLE ANNIVERSARY

Washington, d. c., Sept. 14.-Fifty
years ago today the national capital
was anxious1y awaiting news of the
outcome of the great battle that was
being fought by the Union and Con-
federate armies at South Mountain.
less than fifty miles distant from
Washington. This battle was really
the decisive one of the Maryland
campaign and led to the great fight
at Antietam three days later.
South Mountain is a spur of the
Blue Ridge range, extending north
of the Potomac to Harper's Ferry
There are two passes through the
mountains, one known as Turner's
gap and the other as Champions gap.
The first named affords a passage
from Frederick to Williamsport
while Champions gap, a few miles to
the south, gives similar opening tc
Harper's Ferry.
General Lee, after the victory at
Bull Run on August 80, had crossed
the Potomac and invaded Maryland
A few days later he divided his fore.
es,, sending "Stonewall" Jackson tc
capture Harper's Ferry. To relieve
Harper's Ferry, Gen. Mcclellan or.
dered Gen. Franklin through Cramp-
toms gap. The remainder of the
Federal army was to pass through
Turner's gap and fall upon Gen. Lees
main column.
Gen. D. H. Hill, of the Confeder-
ates forces, succeeded in reaching
Turner's gap before the Federals
The Confederate general, McLaws
likewise succeeded in getting into po-
sition at Champions gap. The bat
ties of the 18th were fought to wrest
these positions from the Confeder.
ates.
AS Gen. Lees object in occupy
ing and holding these positions to de-
lay the Federal advance until the cap
ture of Harper's Ferry and the con-
centration of his forces, they were
held tenaciously. Gen. Hill, rein
forced by Longstreet's corps, succeed
ed in holding Turner's gap until the
day was ended. Gen. Franklin forced
Champions gap late in the afternoon,
but not soon enough to relieve Har-
per's Ferry. This important point
fell into the hands of the Confeder-
ates and Gen. Lee was enabled to
unite his forces for the battle Of An
tistam.

Not" said tho private" 81 will

ner speech was quite out of the or
binary, and was asked for his rea-

before dinner, he told the following
story:
There was a ne'er-do-well that
lived near Tupelo, my home town.
some years ago named Bill Jones.
Bill had brother Bob, who had gone
to Texas quite a while before, and
reports said that he was enjoying q
fair share of worldly prosperity,
When a Texan, from the town in
which Bob had located, came ia
Tupelo, he looked up Bob, who said
to him:
"Tell Bob that have a large fam
lily, and things are against me some
how, and If he can give me a little
assistance it will be greatly appre
ciated."
He continued on this strain fol
come time so that the Texan to re-
lieve the situation proposed that they
have a drink. The drink was dis
posed of, and Bill was cheered up con
siderably; began to tell what a good
crop he would have this year, etc
Another drink was taken with like
result, and after about the fourth had
been disposed Of, he slapped the Tex

Improved Gas LIaht.

According to the Scientific Ameri.
can, experiments are at present in pro-
gress In Paris as the result Of which
it is hoped to secure an increased
light efficiency from 1ncandescent gas
burners. Under present conditions
the gas pressure in the mains is sui
ficient to draw a certain amount Of air
into the burner, where it becomes mix
ed with the gas, causing the character
tstic blue flame. But the amount of
air thus drawn into the flame is only
about three times that of the gas,
whereas, for the best effect, the ration
should be five to one. It has been
found that by COMPRISING the gas in
the mains the desirable ratio Of air
can be caused to enter the fame One
Of the boulevards In Paris has lamps
working on this system, and the re-
suits are exceedingly satisfactory.

CHINA HAS YET
SOME TROUBLES

PEKIN, April 21.-Another plot of
the Blood and Iron society of Tient-
sin has been nipped in the bud. The
government forces raided the head
quarters of the organization and seized
a large quantity of bombs, rifles, am
munition and miscellaneous explosives.
Hundreds of arrests have been made
and the government proposes to deal
sternly with the plotters.
PEKIN, April 25.-The new republic
is facing another obstacle in the form
of three million Mohammedans in
Karsu province who are arming
against the government and preparing
to set up an independent organization
of their own. Steps are being taken
by the Pekin government to send suffi-
cient troops to the Kansu region to re-
duce the opposition and establish the
authority of the central government.
TIENTSIN, April 2O.-Six of the
Chinese river pirates who participated
