JEWISH HEW YEAR TODAY
Opening of the Year 5636,'hich Dates
from the Day of Creation.
BEGAN AT SUXSET YESTERDAY
Social Intercourse and Religious Observa
tion Will Feature the luiings of tho
Festival Oay-Servlcca Held In
ilho Linden Street Temple.
At sunset last night berran the Jew
ish New Year, .MiMi. whicli Is from the
beginning of t-reiitinn. Soclali'.llt v ami
religious olmcrvaiUiii on a scale greater
than is observed by Christians and
their churches will be the order of
things until sunset tonight, when ter
minates tile greatest of Jewish holi
days. Ten days from yesterday, or,
on Saturday, Sept. lis, will occur tin
Day of Atonement, the daylight hours
of which will mostly be spent in wor
ship in the Linden Street temple a ml
oilier Jewish churches ill the city. The
New Year and the Day of Atonement
are called "fearful days," but the latter
rather than the former Is given up ex
clusively to religious fund ion.
The 'New Year was begun at 6.!M
o'clock List night by special service in
the l.iudeii Street temple, where was
used for the llrst time 111 Scranlon the
new reform ritual, lately adopted by
the Central Conference of American
rabbis. It conlains new music, con
gregational Kinging and responsive
readings, ami Is mostly in the Knglish
tongue, whereas the old ritual was
chiefly lu Hebrew. The new prayer
book will be permanently used, dating
from yesterday.
Last I ening's Services.
I'sually the New Year's eve service
begins at ".:''' o'clock, but owing to the
special music and !in unusual elabor
ateness of detail ill tll- service the time
was set one houii earlier. Kev. .1.
Feiierllcht's sermon dealt with I he sig
nificance nnd Importance of the festi
val and the duty which comes with the
New Year. Another service will be
hi Id at lit o'clock tliis niornlu'?. when
the lecture topic will be "Itelief and
Disbelief."
During today nearly a'l tli- places of
business owned by Jews will be cloved,
tnaiiv of them being tight sdwt at (1
o'clock list night. New Year's calls,
familv dinners and social intercourse
will be the order of things nnti' thi:'.
evening, or. to be ex ict. a! the hour of
sunset, when the festival ends. As ev
ery New Year's day Is a most pro
pitious time for the exchange of rivil
ties and the compliments of the season,
so is the Jewish. In the ritual of the
svnagogue. the prayer is on that day
that all men, without dlstlneMon of race
or ere. d. be recorded in the book of life
for a year of h:ipplv. ' and good
works, am' as the friends meet they
repeat. In Hebrew, the wish. ''I'""-' a
good year may you be recorded."
Opinion of TnlimiJic Hoclors.
That on this day the world was creat
ed Is the opinion of some of the Tal
niudic doctors. Hence its annual oc
curence adds another year to the num
ber elapsed since Cod commanded
chaos to range itself into his designed
order. I'.ut, nevertheless, -the habit of
counting, according to the era. from
tile creation of the world Is.
comparatively speaking, very recent
among the Jews. The tirst Indications
of Us employment are found In docu
ments of the latter half of the tenth
Christian century. The number of the
vear opening last night, r.iii". Is based
on the following figures, computed
partlv from biblical data, and partly
from traditional calculation.
Prom the ereatjon to the exodus from
Egypt were reckoned 2. Us years: from
exodus to the destruction of the sec
ond temple. 1.3SA years. This year cor
responds to the year fis of the Christian
era. So. to know which year the new
one of the era Anno Mundi Is. we must
subtract fis from l.Siiii, which leaves
1.S2S, and add thereto 2.44S and 1..V-U-3.S2S.
To recapitulate, l.SiiS and S.SJS
5.B5S.
The years of this era are not of equal
lengths. The Jewish year is a lunar
one. Hut. as the solar years and thr
lunar do not correspond, and th" sen
sons of the festivals are flxed by blbll".il
or lltiance, the Jowb-h year is in contra
dlsdietion f. 1. with the Mohammedan
lunar year not movable, but fixed.
Cvcle of Nineteen Lunar Years.
The Jewish calendar has a cycle of
nineteen lunar years in which seven
Intercalary months occur, ' coual
(though not finite! to nineteen solar
years. The Intercalary year consists
of thirteen months, the twelfth Adar
being doubled; while the other lias
twelve months of thirty and twenty
nine days respectively. Two months,
the eighth nnd ninth, may have either
twenty-nine or thirty days, while the
Intercalary month, and in leap years
alo, his namesake have thirty d.iys.
The fact that the eighth nnd ninth
months may be Increased or decreased
Is due to certain nstronomical-sii It h
rpetleal considerations, and ritual ne
cessities. Fragments of days are neg
lected each year until they amount to
a full day. when if Is lidded to the
eighth month, making It thirty days.
For certain ritual reasons. New Year's
day can only fall on a Monday, Tues
day, Thursday or Saturday. In conse
quence, we have six dillcrent kinds of
years fit ordinary; fa) defective, of 27?
days: fb) regular, of ""I days; ()
abundant, of . '!"'' dnyn: and the Ihree
corrf sponding kinds In the Intercalated
class, of 3S3, I'M and ,1fTi years respec
tively. The year now h-ginnlng will
end on Sept. 8. ISM. Tt belongs to the
class of the ordinary abundant.
On next Saturday, the Day of Atone
ment, service will be held nil day In
the Linden street temple beginning at
10 o'clock n. m.
KAII.KOAI) NOTES.
The engineers, firemen, conductors
and brakemen on tho Lehigh division
of the Lehigh Valley are being exam
ined on I lie book of rules by order of
the superintendent.
The lines running enst from Chicago
are at loggerheads with the big (lack
ing companies nt the Union Stock
yards over the amount if dressed meat
and provisions that shall be loaded In
a car.
A number of cars are being remod
eled at the 1'hlludolphla and Heading
shops to conform with tho standard
adopted by law. which requires all enrs
to be applied with patent couplers and
air brakes.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western 1ms begun the. sale of mileage
books. It was Intimated, afler the
passage of the law regarding the mat
ter, that the Lackawanna would re
duce Its fare to 2 cents a mile rather
than Issue the books. Kxchnnge. ' '
For some months the il'ennsylvanla
has been testing the rioldle tie plate
on the Middle division, nnd'ihe results
have shown that while the plates
lengthen the life of a tie they cause a
passing train to make more tiolse.
While they may not be adopted on the
main line, they may be ued In the
yards, where the heavy trnilllc is so
severe on the ties.
A new rule, which has taken effect on
some sections, and which, It . Is said,
will be ridopted on the entire Lehigh
Valley system, Is plvlng satisfaction.
Heretofore, when employees of the road
desired to travel they have had to go
through the usual formality or asking
for passes, and tlvcse were hard to get.
At the same time the men were obliged
to tiay for their families. Hut an order
was Issued a nhort ilme ago that here
after all employees nrT their families
will be allowed to rifle on the rond for
one-half cent a mile i ,' '
Vice President Baldwin, of the South
ern railroad, has Issued an official cir
cular in which he says that oil em
ployees who have teen In the com-
pnny's service for one year or more and
wish to attend the Cotton States and
International exi)sitlon at Atlanta
will, on application to their immediate
superior otlicers, be grunted leave of
absence, when possible, with passes to
Atlanta and irtlurn for themselves,
wives and dependent children. Em
ployee who have been In the service
for less than one year may receive
like transportation at the discretion
of their superiors, other roads will
be asked to pursue the same policy.
Dr. Chauncey Depew. on his return
from his recent trip abroad, had this
to say. In part, on the mutter of rull
loails: "The general verdict on the
International liiilhvny congress was
that our representatives were most
hospitably entertained by their I'.rllish
brethren, but learned nothing from F.u
lope whicli would be useful in America.
They have adopted our air brake, but
look with distrust upon the automatic
coupler. They prefer to have a man go
between Hie cars, and. by turning a
lever, which slowly winds a screw,
bring them together. It takes Just live
times as long to make up a train by
this process as by the automatic coup
ler. Tlie racing between the rival lines
running lentil has resulted in their
making renin rkalde speed within Hit
last month, hut. taking into considera
tion the weight of the trains, I lie num
ber of miles run and the uninterrupted
continuance of service for years, the
Kmplre Slate express still holds its pre
eminence. The Ktic'lisli trains weighed
only ::n tons, while the 'Kmplre State
express weighs 2'."l. Ill less than a week
tlie Knglish companies were alarmed
nnd abandoned their speed. The gov
ernment controls Ihe French railways,
and is very proud of Its train "do
ll.tixe," which leaves IViris twice a
week for the Pyrenees. It is the fast
est and best equipped they have. The
illstance from Paris to l.iichon Is al
most the same as that between New
York and liulTalo. My boy and I tried
It. We had 170 pounds of baggage and
two berths in Ihe sleeper. The berths
were single. They have no double
ones. The fare, the sleeping car and
extra baggage cost $;s. The time oc
cupied was sixteen hours. The N"W
York Central does the same service be
tween N.-w York .'iml Huflalo in ten
hours and for a little more than ono
quartcr the cost."

HEXXE TRESPASS SLIT ENDED
The Jury Went Out at Adjournment to
(icliberuie I'pon a Verdict Tho
lliimnore Horse Tonglo on All
Day He fore Judge Scarle.
No new cases were begun In common
pleas court yesterday. Hie three that
w ere placed on trial ihe day before hav
lug continued over. The $.",,iiihi trespass
suit or Albert Hemic against the 'Peo
ple's Street 'Uuilway company lor the
death of his child went to the Jury at
adjournment. Thomas Thomas, the
motormaii on the -car that killed (iraee
I! I el t no. was on tlie stand for the de
fendant, die swore that when tlie lit
tle girl darted in front of the car it was
not running more than four miles an
lrour. He denied that he had been con
versing with a passenger on the front
platform instead of attending properly
to Ids business.
Two women, Mrs. Needhani and iMrs.
'Mctieever, neighbors of Ihe I loll no
family, were called by the plaiiililf
and asked their Judgment as to the
earn In capacity of the child. Their
opinion was that to ,tr. and Mrs.
illeime, in money value, tlie child would
In- worth $:i.i""i over all expenses in
curred for its support between the ages
of :l It to L'l yea i s.
Judge Jessup applied for binding In
structions to the jury when presenting
Ihe law points, argiiinglhat Hie plaintiff
had not shown by any evidence what
the child's expectancy of lite was, and
therefore the earning capacity could
not be fixed, and tin- jury should not lie
permuted to guess whether the child
would Ihe one year or until sin became
21 years of age. Judge Jessup argued
lo the court Ihe qn -stloil of coiilijbil
toiy negligence. His contention was
Hint the evidence showed that IMrs.
11. 'line went upstairs and the child
wtis left on the .lining room Hour while
Ihe kitchen door was open. Although
the servant girl an I Mrs. Henne'w sis
ter were In the room with the child, yet
the mother in going from tin room had
I Hot left file child 111 care of ell her of
tlvni. and was therefore guilty of con
tributory negligence. Mr. o'lirlcn. for
the plaintiff, argued thai tlie question
of negligence was one for the Jury to
determine.
lApectniicv of I ife Slum n.
Juihre Cunsti'i ruled that th" plaintiff
could lie permitted to show tlie cx
pectiincy of the child's life according
lo the mortality tallies. Trie Town
send, an Insurance agent, was sworn
nnd gave the expectancy of the life of
a child between :: and :i years of age,
according to the Carlisle tables, ns 17'
years, a child years of age, us IX and
M-bW years. Counsel then begun t Heir
arguments to the jury. Attorney
o'Hileii argued for the plaintiff and
Judge Jessup for the defendant. Judge
(iunslt r gave a long, exhaustive charge
to the Jury, which retired tit 4.. 10. It
agreed upon a verdict at 11.3a last night
which Is said to lie in favor of the com
pany. In No. 2 court room th Dunmore
horsp case was on trial nil day, and the
testimony was in at adjournment. The
arguments of tlie counsel and the
charge of the court will be made this
morning, and tin case will go to the
jury about noon. Harry Dcpuy, the
plaintiff, was recalled to the stand at I)
o'clock. His story was that, acting as
the agent of John Silkninn, of Provi
dence, he made a bargain with Jesse
A. Hrady for the sale of a brood mare,
the agreement being that Hrady should
pay $ii.rii): that Hrady. who Is a bene

Ic fondant Savs It Is Fraud.
Hrady was the first witness In his
own behalf; he stated that he would
not take the mare an a gilt, and tint
the order he signed was done while he
was consider.-! tdy under the Inlliience

Hrady did. When he found out that it

to know tlie reason of it and claims he
was told by Dcpuy that it would bene
fit him (Depnv! givatly if Hrady signed
the order and allowed him to use it.
John Coleman, another 'Dunmore clti
r.en, had an execution issued on the

to circumvent tlie sin-riff from making
a sale of the brood mare, as Hrady al-legi-s,
that tlie supposed sale of the
