a negro man who Used brass knucks
as a we&pon. This reporter wrote
Dr. Grimm and received a letter in
return. but it was not in time for
last issue. Tie readers Of this paper
will be glad to learn that Dr.. Grimm
was not seriously hurt, although he
had a very narrow escape. In his
letter heeXplains the assault and the
cause of it, although he naturally dis
likes the notoriety it has brought to
him. He had lost a coat, fountain pen
and SIS in cash A detective was tc
that the cook was suspected of the
taeft. The cooks husband became en-
ragged because the detective had
searched tahe house for the missing
articles and he went to DR.. Grimm s
office to wreak vengeance. The negro
knocked Dr. Grimm down with the
knucks. The doctor was reading a
book at the time and covered his
face with it, thus protecting himself
from further and more serious if not
perm nent or perhaps fatal injury. AS
it was he got a bad eye, but we are
glad to say his heart is still in the
right place and beats as warmly for
Newberry as it ever did He says he

regular visit here when the time
comes. to fit the good people of this

OUR FIRST COLLEGE.
Harvard Had Nine Men In Its Original
Class of Graduates.

The first commencement Of Harvard
college, the first of the educational in
stitutions of the United States. was
held Aug. 9. 1912. Nine young men
comprised the first class Of graduates.
In 1886 the general court of Massachu-
setts agreed to give 6400 toward a
schoale or colledge" and the next year
ordered that the institution be estab
lished at "Newetowne.'
In 1888 John Harvard, a preacher.
died and bequeathed about S700 to the
college to be built at Newtown. In his
honor the institution was named Har-
ward college, while the name Of the
town was changed to Cambridge in
honor of the great English university.
1t is doubtful if the original grant Of
f4OO was ever actually paid. and in any
event the college project remained in
allegiance until-t bequest Of Harvard
at once initiated the necessary meas
ures
The original fund was added to in
various ways. and much money was
raised by lotteries. Henry Dunster. a
Hebrew scholar, was chosen first pres
ident. and class began a course Of
study in 1893: and nine graduated in
1642.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

By some pretty experiments with
organ pipes of different materials DR..

more than is generally believed. Writ,

JEWISH NEW YEAR
BEGINS SEPT. 2>TH
Day Commences On the Evening
Previous III SundoWn-!.l)wing OF
Rams Horn.

Rosh Hashannah (the Jewish New
Year, also called Yom Hazikoron
Day Of Memorial, falls this year on
Thursday, september 2Sth 1t COM
mences however the evening prev
ious, since in Bible usage the days
re counted from sun down to sun
down The more orthodox will OBJ
serve not only Thursday but Friday
as we'll, it being their custom to keep
a second day in connection with
practically all the more important
Jewish holidays and festivals. This
custom on their part grew out Of
certain complex conditions in the
calendation of early r1binical times
and the practice once established, has
been kept Up by them, even though
the original reason no longer obtains.
The Reform Jews observe only the
day scripturally prescribed. The date
OF Rosh Hashannah is the first day OF
the month of Tishri and the New
! Year now to be ushered in, is, &C
cording to the traditional Jewish
Calendar the year 5677.
Unlike January 1st, Rosh Hash
annah has been fully able to- resist
secularization. 1t is in form and
spirit "a holy day distinctively-not
holiday. Solemn services character
ize its observance both evening and
morning.. It is a time dedicated to
retrospection, introspection and reso-
lutions for the future. The day bears
the special designation of Yom ha-
Din or Day of Judgment, with
ouaint mysticism the old tradition
represents the souls of men as being
on this day before the divine trlbu-
nal at the annual assizes on high.
The great Recording Bookslie open ana
the individual destinies are set down.
hnt and this is the significant ele-
ment in the conception the award IN
each given o3se must be sealed Dy
the nerson himself meaning thereby
that. though the varying issues OF the
New Year proceed from Gods proVi-
dence no ones future is determined
apart from what he himself is and
does Out of the above conception has
grown up the familiar greeting IN
terchanged by Jews on Rosh Hash
annah. namely. "leshonah tova IT,
kasevu" meaning 'May you be IN
scribed for a good year,"
An important feature of the ritual
Of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing OF
the shofar or Rams horn. In an
cient days the sounding OF this IN
strument was associated with times
of national crisis and other solemn
occasions There are various fanclful
explanations of the connection OF the
shofar with the celebration of Rosn
Hashanah. Each of its dominant notes
likewise has been given a symoollc
significance. AS the tones of the Sho-
far are of peculiarly piercing DUAL
itv the sounding of the shofar may De
regarded as clarion-caIT to the con-
science to .trive after the hlgner
life in the New Year. The prominence
according to the ceremony OF the
sounding of the shofar during the SER
vices has made Rosh Hashanah known
as 1be Yom ha-Teruah, "the day OF
the Sounding of the Ishofar."
