JEWISHiNEWiYEAR,
Celebration of "Rosh Hashonah"
Begins at'Six.O'clock This Iff
Afternoon:? ;.;r.
SERVICES IN i WILAlNQJON
They WW be Held for Ten i Days ' Dnrlnr
Seasoa of Penance and Are Very
;..:; Solemn aod Attended by All of .
VV -V " Irieltte Palth. 'k v.
This evening at 6 o'clock, our fellow
citizens of -the Jewish persuasion will
meetat their Temple, corner Fourth
and Market streets, : to celebrate,, the
beginning ofthe new year, 5,663 A.
M. . As the beginning of a year in
augurates among the Jews a season
of penance which lasts ten days and
closes with the Jay of Atonement,
the services- held : durihrtharperiodv
are alwayj of a very solemn"' nature
and attended -by- every professing
Israelite.V The services this 'evening
will last about an hour, and will be
continued to-morrow morning, begin
ning at 10 o'clock. " - "
The Hebrew name for new year i is
"Rosh Hashonah,'f which means head
of the year. The Hebrews observe
this year the first day of the month
Tishri, which comes on September
14th. Likeall Jewish holidays, it
is observed from sunset to sundown.
One well versed in the doctrine of
the Jewish church says: "The day
is not & holiday so much as it is a holy
day. It is of solemn - and : earnest
prayer introspection and self review.
It isalled variously the day of mem
orial, the day of judgment, and the
day of the blowing of the trumpet
It has received this last title on ac-;
count of " this peculiar ; service., the
blowing of the Shofar or ram's horn.
"The "holy - day will be observed
universally and devoutly through
out the city, every Jewish house of
business beings closed and every Jew
ish family participating : in : the ob-'
servance , of the sacred .-s festival.
The day is observed in 1901 with the
same idealism which characterized it
in the most ancient days. The ad
vance of civilization and the onward
progress of the world . has changed
only some of the outward forms, but
its spiritual significance is unchanged.
"As the merchant at the beginning
of the secular year casts up his ledger
and sets down his debts and credits, so
does the Hebrew observer of the New
Year day balance his life accounts, re
pent sincere of his faults and follies,
and start out with fresh strivings for
higher and purer living. -1-1
The old year of sin is buried in the
cemetery of the . past . and the New
Year, a child of hope, turns its face
towards the future. Eight days after
'Rosh Hashonah' comes Yom Kippur,
or the day of atonement.'' - - U

' Stewart pitched for New Orleans
against Chattanooga Tuesday. The
Picayune says of his work, although
he lost the game, three"to one:: -
Stewart had a chance to pitch the
first full game since he -has been with
the Pelicans. Before joining the
Louisiana boys Stewart pitched over
eighty games; he was tired out and
the little rest he has been given seems
to have proven of wonderful benefit
To-day he had a world of speed and
very good control. He was handi
capped as the game opened by a lack
of knowledge of the players against
him. For this reason hits were re
corded in the first inning. He seemed
to learn them quickly, however, for
when the second inning opened all
three men went to the bench with
strike outs. He simply carried Chat
tanooga off her feet, and all through
the came, especially after the first
inning, he had the batters at his mer
cy, it was one or the best exhibi-
uonspi piicntng ever seen on tne
local grounds; and the Chattanooeras
will remember it - Ten hits were re
corded off Stewart but nine strike
outs also went to his credit
Umpire Ed Clark, who officiated for
some time in the Virginia-North Caro
lina Baseball League, appears to have
grown 4n disfavor in the Southern
League, where he went after leaving
here. The iNew Orleans Picayune
says: "Umpire Clark was so bad to
day that Manager . Whistler, of Chat
tanooga, has refused to play another
game under his incompetent service.
Clark could umpire a good game if he
would conduct himself properly, but
unfortunately he does not seem to be
doing so. To-night Powell and Whist
ler held a consultation and to morrow
either a local umpire or two players
will officiate."
THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
Recommesdstloa of : Electrician of Tariff
Association Being Rapidly Complied
With Varlons Improvements. "
When Mr. A. M. Schoen. electrician
of the Southeastern Tariff Associa
tion, inspected the Wilmington fire
alarm system about three weeks ago,
he left the following report with Chief
Charles Schnibben :
"Although this entire system was
straightened out and put in good re
pair a few years ago, re-inspection and
test shows a number of deficiencies ex
istent at the present time. As the re
sult of testing a number of boxes at
different points in the city, with the
exception - of the test bells, the me
chanism of the boxes themselves was
found to be in good working order, as
was also the main tower bell,' the
indicators at the various houses, how
ever, worked very badly, those at one
or more of the -four houses either strik
ing or showing wrong for almost every
alarm turned in.
"As a result of this. Inspection I
would recommend as follows: Indi
cators to be thoroughly overhauled
and put in proper working condition.
Battery strength: of circuits JNoa. l ana
3 be increased to at least 28 or 30 in
dicated points on the galvanometer. A
ground- detecting galvanometer pro
vldea ana sec up at tne nailery room.
Repeater to be pat in good working
order. All test bells in boxes to be
Dut in working order. I would also
recommend that going over the boxes
in the city seriatim a single round, be
sent in from one each day in order to
note whether all of the apparatus is al
ways in nroner workine order, the one
piece relative to the others." .
Chief Schnibben said last night that
since the recommendations above were
made, all of . them have been and are
bihg complied with as fast as possible
and that in his opinion the system is
now in as good order as it has been
for four years. The indicators have
been thoroughly overhauled; batteries
increased in strength as suggested; re
peater and test bells put in first class
shape and the seriatim test of all the
boxes being made. ; A ground detect
ing galvanometer has been ordered and
will be here shortly for installation at.
once." . - - - '

Two hundred and fifty operators,: re

This was the most imnartant action-
taken by the meeting of tbe - naval
stores operators in their most success
ful effort at organization to-day. For
the first time in the history of the in
dustry those who are the source of
supply to the entire world of a pro
duct which has become indispsnsable
and for which no , substitute has yet
been found, have perfected an organi
zation for their common protection on
lines which cannot fail to succeed:
For weeks the originators -of the
movement to combine the turpentine
operators have labored to get together
the operators and form an organiza
tion that would bring a condition that
would enable the nroducers of naval
stores to control their own product.
By the agreement to curtail r reduc
tion and at the same time to regulate
the abuses of labor a most important
betterment in the condition of the in
dustry has been achieved.

to notify all factors of the - action of
the organization and ask for their co
operation. it was agreed that the action of the
convention and the resolutions adopted
concerning the cutting of boxes and
the scale of wages should not go into
effect until operators-representing sixty-six
and two-thirds of the entire tur
pentine output shall have become
members of the association, ana agreed
to abide by the rules laid down. This
percentage those present are confident
they can secure.
The most animated discussion was
upon the question of the scale of wares.
The following scale , was finally
adopted:
Uhipping, S23 for 10,600 boxes and no
rations; raking trees, 20 to 25 cents,
horse, wagon and driver $16 to 120;
dipping S3i cents per barrel; cutting
boxes one and one-quarter cents.
Renting out boxes to laborers was pro
hibited. ;'
