“FMILE DUA New York Rabbis Unite in Having Congrega- tions Remember Him in Holiday Devotions. EVE OF RBSH HASHANNA. Prayers Are Offered for Soul of Man Who Befriended Capt. Alfred Dreyfus in France. Prayers for the soul of Emile Zola, the French novelist, whose life was so abruptly ended in Paris this week, will play an important part in the celebra- ton of Rosh Hoshanah, the Jewish New Year, which begins to-night in all the New York synagogues, It Is because of the earnest and fear- less stand which Zola took in defense of Capt. Dreyfus that the Church of Israel is departing from its rarely broken rule not to recognize in its cere- monies a Gentile name or cause. Zola so enshrined himself in the He- brew heart by his valiant defense of Dreyfus during the eventful days of the celebrated case that New York rabbls, with ono volce, express thelr willingness and gladness to have their people re- member the dead novelist in their pra ers. They speak of him as the most righteous man of his time. For two days, beginning to-night, the Jewish people will devote themselves to continuous observance of the New Year's holiday, and a series of fes tivals extending over a period of three weeks will follow, First after Rosh Hoshanah, comes Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, ‘The intervening time Is set aside as the Ten Days of Penance or Days of Awe, This season will be given up to song, prayer, fasting and alms-giv- ing. It is the bellef that during these days {3 determined the fate of a follow- er of the faith for the year to come. Therefore the greeting of the hour is: “Mayest thou be Inscribed for a good year.’ Following Yom Kippur Is the Feast of Tabernacles and the Refolcing of the Taw. For this period hemluck-thatchod booths will be erected in the smail courtyards of east side tenement- uses, wherein the faithful will eat their meals.

JUMPED FOUR STORIES. > Ever Since She Saw Him Electrocuted on Elevated Road She Has Imagined Repetition of Scene. Nearly a year ago Mra. Alice Ahearn, sitting at the window of her home at One Hundred and Eleventh street over- }looking the Third avenue “L' road, saw her husband electrocuted, and every day since she has gone through the same scene. To-day she screamed to neighbors that her husband was being shocked to death by the current As on every other day she begged nelgh- hors to help her save him. They did nol heed her and she crled: “I'll leap to him myself.” Before any one could stop her she had hurled herself out of the fourth story window.

The noise was being made by a burglar ‘The burgtar leaped for the window, with Crotty after him. The burglar was nearly out when Crotty caught his foot. While his captor called for help the burglar hung head downward outside of the window, Crotty, sr. responded, and with his | wife and two sons drow the burglar back.

Ahearn and his wife had been mar- ried for more than a quarter of a cen- tury. She was a slip of a girl when they fell In love, but theirs was a ro- mantic match. He had always worked hard, and no matter where he was em- ployed Mrs. Ahearn always managed to move somewhere so that she might at jleast see her husband Consolation in Vain, Neighbors tried to console Mrs, Ahearn, but thelr efforts were useless. Expert alienists were called in. They {sald her case was hopeless, She would |rush to the window whenever she could jand live the tragic scene over again. Her sons and the other tenants watched her carefully and gave her every atten- tlon. Several times each day she would rush |from the house and frantically beg passers-by to rescue her husband from the deadly third rail on the structure above. She made appeal after appeal to the police, and frequently she was found biocks from her home in her bare feet telling her pitiful story.
