And if these ohjects ye would galn, ‘The Shuphar’s veice will ihese attain.” | —Taimud B. Rosh Hashana, 16 a Yesterday was a day of general rejoic- ing among the devout Jews, it being their | day for celebrating ine festival of Rosh Hashana, the Hebrew New Year, and solemn services were held in ali the local synagogues. The month of Tishi, the first of the Jewish calendar, began Sun- | day at sundown, and was ushered iu with | solemn and most impressive ceremonies. It is customary with the orthodex Jews to keep up the festival for two davs, but with | ht | the reformed Jews, smonz which is ihe | | congresation Emanu-El, there is but one | day of fasting and prayer. A feature of | tue services is the annual blowng of the | shoptar or cornet, otherwise the rams- horn, which is done to awaken in the minds of the worshipers a due sense of the solemnity of the occasion. In the morning the synagogues were reopened and services, consisting of music and sermons by the rabbis, were held. At the Temple auu- music was ren- dered by a special choir under the direc- tion of Professor E. J. Stark. The music consisted mainly of melodies taken from | oid Jewish tradition and songs harmon- ized and fitted to modern music without losing any of their original character or | fa-cinating heauty. The soloists engaged for the occasion were: Miss Daisy Cohen, soprano; Mrs. L. Reynolds, contral:o; Veirner, tenor, and S. Homer Henley, bbi Voorsangerdiscoursed eloquentl The Transfer of David’s Poner to His Son,”” drawing comparisons between the | igion of David and Solomon #nd poini- the example of David, who under- e wisdom of the ave and directed s to Jerusalem a- the one to be fo!- | lowed instead of Solomon, who considered | himself so wise tha: for a time he forget | his God. Later in life, however, Solomon came to his senses and acinowl that he ha.l done wrong and becam penitent. | “David,” he said, “‘was the founder of | rature and above the companionship | men. He sought the association of the | | Lord, and by that association gained the loftiest wisdom, making that of man an | | ebsurdity. He hasexemvlified the buman ambition of man ana exhibiled a power of enterpri-e that has been practiced by his fo'lowers with good resuits.” At the Geary-street tempie the regular ritueal service as l2id down in the Hebrew | textbook was read by J. L. Isaacs of B rk- eley, after which Cantor Joseph Ravino- wiiz read u e additional service, assisted | by a special chotr, which rendered much | valuable assistance. Rabbi Levy then preached an eloquent sermon, taking his text from Deuterono- my xxxii:7: “Remember th»days of oid, | consider the yearsof many ge tion ask thy father and be will show thee thy elders and they will teil thee.” | In glowing words the rabbi picturea the days of old, when festival meanta | great deal—days of awe—when the sound | of the shopnar in<pired mens’ every action | with fear and reverence. He spoke also | of the changed cond:iion of modern times, | showing that everything physical and § | visible shifts, and that nothing we possess | abides with us forever. He then asked if | nothing had remained unchanged, znd in re pointed to the Jew, who to-day had left the great world of commerce to take care of itself and gathered in assemblages to worshir—a testimony that while every- | thing else may change God remains un- changeable. In the Bush-sireet temple Rabbi Mvers treated the Congregation Obabaii Shalome 1o the novelty of ., sermon in verse, beauti- fullv worded and well r-ndered. Thbe ser- mon was divided into four parts, begin- ning with the invocation: beav'n-sent boiy New Year’s Day! adiy greetings pu r of love divin velcon.~ thee our hearis combine, thank{nl hearts 1o joy restored, 4 this tempie of the Lo-d. hou dost b 0ps 1o us declare. s each blast compels! ery sound our bosom swells; C »ul Is stirred by every not That issues from Lhe Shopbar's throat. Atthe synagogue of the Congregation erith Israel the seivices were most com- pieie snd were pronounced the best ever | rendered in tuis synavogue. Under the able direction of Professor H. J. Stewart, the choir discoursed music in perfect ione | and rmony. Cantor Davis' voice was never hexrd to better advantuge abbi Ni-todelivered the discourse, tak- ing as s text, Job vi:8: “O, that I/ might bave my request, and that God would grang me the thing that I long| for.” He said in part: ‘"No untrained man knows that 1or which he should jong or that which he should hope for from God. It 1s the fashion of pevple to piace | their reliance upon the material advan. ges of position and to hope and pray for worldly iufluence and wealth. Judaism with its domestic philosophy took man as he isand by eradusl processes :ought to elevate him above the frailty of com- mon desire to the comprehension of a spiritual need and to the realization ot tue fact that divinity was resident in his | own breast.” | The musical programme arranged by | Cantor Davis was as lollows: Komocho,” by cantor and choir; “Sho- I,hur Hymn,” cantor aud choir; “Return, O cantor and choir; snthém, * n Thou Appearesi” (Mozart), ch prauno solo and chorus (Hiiler); | Tokef,” cantor and choir; eauntor aud choir; s ’ (Levanaowsky), choir; duet, soprano and aito (Rossini); “Eun lohenn,” arranged by Centor Davis; *‘Adon Olom,” cantor and choir. | The Congregation Nevah Zedekh is at present without a pastor, but this fact did not prevent them from bearing a sermon on Israe’s day of rejoicing, as Rabbi Myers, after preaching to his own con- gregation, delivered an eloquent add:e-s there. Under direction of Rabbi Levy, L. S. Matihews b-ld a service at San Quentin for the benefit of twelve Jews incarcerated there. The services of yesterday will be re- peated 1o-day in all the synagogues of the orthodox Jews. VIsiToRs to the city should not fail to inspect & & G.

The Case Takes On a Very Malodor- ous Hue in Judge Coffey's Courtroom. It was a sort of housec'eaning day in | the Bell case. All the fam rows were fumigated for the benefit of the curious mob that feeds on scandal, and a very nasty mess it was. Young Fred Bell had the stand all the day, and aceording to the story he told there was a good deal of jar in the family aside from the part Mammy | Pleasant piayed in its destiny. Mother and children did not kneel in family prayers together. | The evidence became so malodorous in | that the services of the | shorthand reporter were dispensed with | in order that it might not go on record. | The attorney for the mother was seeking | to disprove the statements of the son that | the children were neglected, and all the soiled linen of the family was hung out. By way of beginning, youaz Bell said | that since his father’s death five years ago | be had not received over $1000 for his own | He was shown a receipt lor | $1000 which ne received from the adminis- | trators of the estate, and =aia that although he had signed his mother's name to it the cash hud been turned over | t0 Mammy Pieasant.

He denied the chargze strenuousiy, but ad- mitiel that be had struck her, and that there were turbulent times in the house- | hold. He related a family row at which | the mother abused his sister in a very v.rulent manner, and as a result he was torced to interfere in behalf of the young woman. He admitted that he spent the preater portion of his time in corner grocer.es, but added as an excuse that Mammy Pleasant had denied him the u-e of the library in his bome, and Le 100k to the saloons for soiace. “‘How many glasses of beerdo youdrink aday?”’ 3 “Since my accident I have not drunk | over eighteen glasses a day.” | ““What do you do 1o spend your time?’ | 1 1alk, smoke cigarettes.” “What other exercise do vou indulge in besides smoking cigarettes?” None othor, except waiking.” How many times have you been drunk 1 since your aceident?” | “I don’t know of any.” | “How many places do ycu drink in?" ©0n! seven or eight.’ “Have you a route—a cocktail route?’ did before my accident, but I called it a 5-tent route—a steam-beer route.” Bell then related the history of his re- cnvery from his accident. He declared that while he was upoi crutches his mother used to urge him to drink ale and porter. 1t seems beer was most to his lik- ing and the “can was rushed” for his benefit, For two and a half years previous to his fatner’s death he admitted that he bead not spoken to his moth-r.

The accident occurred at the crossing of Fremont and Mission streets, and the unfortunate man was Gragged several | yards vefore the momentum of the car could be stopped. His escape from in- | stant death was something marvelous, but, as it is, his injuries are very serious. Dr. AMill of the Branch Receiving Hos- | pital sums them up thus: ‘‘Laceration of | the head, concussion of the spine and severe nbrasions of all parts of the body."” At first it was impossible for Mr. Nutting to use the upper portion of his body, but now feeiing is gradually returning, and | Dr. Hill says that in time and with care he will be as weil as ever. There seems to be a conflict as to| whether the bell on the car was ruag or | not. Mr. Other passengers again assert that the warning bell was rung. [ heard no warning bell,” sail Mr. | Nuiting, when scen in the hospital yes- | terday. “I was crossing Mission street | on Fremont when [ saw one of Wells- Fargo's wagons followed by an electric-car | coming from the ferries. I did not notice | towsrd the ferries, and when the one bound west passed I at- tempted to cro-s the track. Some one shouted ‘Look out,” and the next instant | the car bound east struck me. I grabbed | hold of the iron bar on the front of the | positively i | car and beid on as long as possible; then I dropped, and in an instant the car was on top of me. I remember trying to roll | out of the wav, but those who saw the | accident say the car did ali the rolling | necessary. | “When the car was stopped the pas-| sengers got levers and pried it up, while others pulied me out oi my dangerous | position. Then they carried me into the car and took me to the Receiving Hos- | pital. The men who helped me were | kinduess itse!f, and I coula not have been better cared for in my own home tiian 1 pital. A strange part of the whole affair | is that while the raiiroad’s employes took down the names of the passengers who | witnessed the accident, not one of them | came near me 10 ask my name or find out how badly I was hurt. “I am ihe patentee of two car-fender: and sirange to 8qy I nearly came to my | death for want of one.

The youngster, who is now 1) vears old, was entered in the books of that institution under the name of Tommy Tucker and its parents’ residence as 313 Fourth street. A monthor s0 later the people at the hespital sent word to the mother that iittle Tommy was cured and for her to take the child home. An answer was received that she would do s6 at onee.

The Supreme Court, by a decision ren- dered yesterday, uvset the calculations of the public officials who have been collect- ing fees under the fee bill passed by the Legislature in 1893, and placed them in the position of being comvpelled to accept the statutes in force previous to that time. | The issue on which the decision was based was raised by J. J. Rauer, the col- lector, who sued E. W. Williams, clerk of the Justice Court, to compel him (0 accept fees under the old laws. Williams based his refusal to accept the | fees offered by Kauer on the language of the act of 1893, which was entitled ‘*‘An act to provide and regulate the nianner of incurring and paying fees, commissions | and percentages and other compensations | for official services in cities and cities and counties having a population of over 100,000 1nbabitants, and prescribing the duties of officers with reference thereto.” In its decision the Supreme Court said: All laws of n general nature shall have a unitorm operation, and the Legislature is re- quired by general and uiiform luws to provide £r the sirict accountability of county officers | tor all fees which may be collected by them. This provision is not inconsistent with the sions of the constitution np{,fl\-mg 10 sities alone, and is, therefore, applicabie to cities and counties. The munifest purpose of the act in question is to provide a saie scheme for tne coiection of fees, which the Legisla- ture believed would be_better aud safer than the one in operation. Clearly, the law is not designed for the convenience of the public, but sor the protection and sccurity of the munici- pality.

Augustus Thomas Produces a Witty Play at the Columbia. New Actors Make Their Debut at the Alcazar in “Haz:1 Kirke."” Good Performance of “The Hugue- nots” at the Tivoli—New Orphenm Act. Augustus Thomas has inaugurated a new and startling departure in his breezy comedy, ‘“Don’t Tell Her Husband,” whicn was presented for the first time on any stage by the Frawley company at the Columbia last nigit. His theme is the violation of the eighth commandment, & subject which would scarcely arouse expec- tations of prolonged hilarity. Mr. Thomas has treatea his iugubrions sub- jectin such a gay and festive vein, how- ever, that the big audience fairly sim- mered with mirth. The ridiculous situations in “Don’t Tell Her Husband'” spring from the weli- meaning efforts of a blundering artist to tell his friend of his domestic infelicity. Every one but Thomas Bancroft can see that Mrs. Bancroft is forgettine poor Thomas for the cake of Lawrence Chand- ler, a roue. Francis Eli, a mutual friend, | undertakes to “stop this thing,’’ and the awful complications into which he gers | himself in the pursuauce of bis resolu- tion forms the plot of the play. After some ratuer verbose conversa- tions in the first act, the fun becomes fast and furious. At times the merriment verges on the farcical. The dialogue scintillates with smart sayings and there | are very few expressions that would shock | the most prudgish. But with ali his light, | feathery treatment, Thomas has chosen a | somewhat grewsome theme to jesi with. | The audience received “*Don’t Tell Her | | Husband” with outward and visible signs | of favor. They called the author before the footlights and hugely relished a litile | speech which was smart and haif | *jo<ning.” | "No dount “Don’t Tell Her Husband” 1s intended to be taken as a bumorously | evnicai comment on the morals and man- { ners of to-Gay. As the majority of thea- ter-goers do not want the labor of wrest- ling with mental problems, however, it will probably be regarded as a funny play with no deeper intention than to make people lau There is absolutely no pathos or sentiment in it and very little preaching. Under its semi-farcical situa- tions there is a good deal of truth to life, however, and cleverly drawn, Francis Eli, the officions friend, bears| | the burden of the performance on his | chouiders. When Harry Corsen Clark | | has ceasel to shar» this burden with the | prompter he will no doubtgive a more | clear-cut rendering of the cbaracter. | | Francis Carlyle, as the husband, had not | | much to do except be deceived with guile- | less unconsciousness, and ne did that nat- | urally. Frederic Perry was eff ctive asa | friend who refused to meddie and Frank | | Worthing was himsel! as the gay deceiver. Among the women Miss Selina Johnson was good as the erring wife, and Blanche | | Bates was in her element in the 1ole of a | trivolous grass widow. | “Don’t Tell Her Husband’’ is a clever, | amusing play. If the humorous treat- | ment of socinl problems commends itself | to the general public it may prove an | epoch-maxking play. 1 | The A c:zar. | “Hazel Kirke,” woeful and weeping, served | to introduce to the Alcazar patrous a number | of new members to the already excellent stock | | company now p.aying atthishouse. Mackay's tearful drama, that delighted pluygoers a gen- | eration ago, is the best and most valuable les- | son the youthlul thester-goer can have asto | the advance of the drama. In spite, however, | of the many defects—irom a realistic, up-to. | { date standpoint—that the play abounds in, the strong neart interest that runs through the drams will serve to mnke it interesting to | all ages, sorts and conditions of patrons of | the drama. The newcomers were intrusted with the leading rolesand had ample oppor- tuuity to display their particular talent. | Wright Huntington took care of Lord Trav- | ers, the antocrat who loves and weds the | farmer’s daugnier, and Wiiliam Gleeson was | the pig-headed old son of the soil who curses | the aforesaid daughter, und afterward forfeits | is sight in th: interest of a patbetic, far- jutched scene.
