THE OMAHA RITNPAY BEE: SEPTEMBER CO. 19H.; 9-B y TODAY IS JEWISH HEW YEAR Feait of Bosh Hash&nah to Be Ob served by Follower! of Mogei. TO HOLD SERVICES LOCALLY t erwwonles rrrllnrnt to the Orcn Sloa Will Hr ObwfTf In the Onihii Trmplrt and Syn- mitnM, The feast of nosh Hashanah or New Year' day, whlrh Inaugurates ths mort Solemn season of th Jewish religious year, btRlns this year on Sunday evening, September 20, and lasts tlU sundown Mon day, the 3st, Among orthodox Jews who relebrate two days, the following day, Tuesday, Is also observed. This day opens the Jewish calendar year 6"75. The observance of this day as a holy season is commanded In two passages ot the Five Books of Moses, namely Iev1tl rua xxlil, 14 and 2"i and Numbers rlx. 1. In neither passapo 1 there any speclflo command as to how the day Is to be ob served beyond the injunction to blow the trumpet, to hold a holy convocation and to engage In no servile occupation. It is to be noted that this day is the first day of the seventh month or the day of the new moon of that month. The new moon was observed as a holy season by the Jews of old; the seventh month wsjs a particularly holy month, as the seventh day was the holy day of the week; bnrice the new moon of the seventh month was invested with a significance of far holler import than the other new moon days of the year. As in all holy seeasons no ser vile work, no gainful occupation was to be followed. Called with Trumpet. The Injunction to Wow the trumpet on this day was to call the people to remem brance before the Lord. In the course of time, this ceremony of blowing the shofar became the central feature of the elabor ate religious service conducted on the day. Just as the shofar called the people to remembrance before the Lord, so also were its sounds to arouse the people to their shortcomings and to their duties In which they may have failed. The day Is railed on this account Tom hazikkaron "The day of Memorial.' Another idea which In time came to be associated with the day was that on this day God weighed men's actions in the scale of Justice. For this reason another designation of the day is Torn haddln, "The Day of Judgment" The days in tervening between New Tear's day and the day of Atonement are called "The Ten Days of Penitence," during which the opportunity Is had to reflect finally on and repair the wrongs done during the year; If the repentance is sincere forgive ness is gained on the culminating day of the holy season, "The Day of Atone ment." The New Tear's day in the passing of tha centuries has thus come to embody the great religious ideas of divine Justice snd human responsibility. A the be ginning of the Jewish religious year It emphasizes the religious uniqueness of the Jewish people, the servant of the one God, the priest people of humanity. Local Service. Services will be held in the various Jew ish synagogues and temples this evening and tomorrow morning. At Tempel Israel Rabbi Cohn will speak on "Foundation of Peace" tonight at 8 o'clock and tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock on "The Perfect Triumph." Judge McPherson Says Courts Will Decide Shrinkage In a test suit brought In federal court the Omaha Oraln exchange has won what It considers a pronounced victory over the rsllroads. On the federal court docket the suit was known as that of the Nebraska ft Iowa Grain company axnlnst the luulinglon road. In cham bers In Red Onk. la, Judge Smith Mc Pherson has decided In favor of the grain company. Tim suit brought by the Nebraska ft Iowa Grain company was to test the right of the railroads to app'y an arbi trary rule relative tc the shrinkage of grain In transit- Some months ago the railroads operating Into Omaha pub lished a tariff, arbitrarily contending that the natural shrinkage on grain should be one-fourth of 1 per cent on corn and oats, mid one-clglith of 1 per cept on wht-at, regardless of the distance of the haul. On this shrink they would not allow claims for lews. letter the shrinkage clause was ellm Inated from the tariffs of some of the roads and continue! by others. In the meantime to test the validity of th tariff the matter was taken to the Interstate Commerce commission and was sent back, that tribunal holding that It was a ques tion for the courts to decide. Then to settle the matter the Nebraska ft Iowa Grain company brought Its suit, being represented by Ed P. Smith, general attorney for the exchange. Tes timony was offered and arguments heard by Judge McPherson some time ago when he was In Omaha. The case was taken under advisement and Friday he handed down a decision, holding that the shrink age Is a matter of proof and that no railroad company can fix: an Inflexible rule, saying that the shrinkage on every car of grain Is the same, whether it is hauled fifty or 1.000 miles. Under the rule that the railroads adopted and applied, their Idea of shrink age amounted to about $3 per car and during a year amounted to many thou sands of dollars which members of the Grain exchange were forced to lose. However, a close account of all shrink age claims have been kept and If the railroads do not pay suits will be brought to collect.

He received but a scanty education and was for a while a mere drudge In a warehouse and after ward became a clerk In an attorney's office. Having made himself acquainted with shorthand, however, he became a newspaper critic and a reporter. Later he was a contributor to the Monthly Magazine and Evening Chronicle, In which were published the essays and tales known as sketches by Bos. These were so successful that a new series were begun and in Pickwick Papers a new class of characters, eccentric, Indeed, but with vital representations of humor and oddities of life, such as Mr. Pick wick, Sam Weller and his father. Mr. Winkle, and others, were made familiar to the public To Bentley's Magazine Dickens con tributed Oliver Twist The special object of Oliver Twist was to expose the abuses of the workhouses; the same as Nicholas Nlcklcby was to denounce the manage ment of cheap boarding schools. Both did much toward correcting the abuses against which they were directed. "Master Humphrey's Clock," Issued In weekly numbers, contained, among other things. "Old Curiosity 6hop," and "Bar naby Mudge," the latter a historical tale.' On his rjturn from America he wrote American notes for general circulation and Martin Chlzzlewlt, which dealt with his American experiences, which con tained, perhaps, more of characteristic humor than any of his other works ex cept "Pickwick Papers." He also wrote a series of Christmas stories. In 18-15 Dickens went to Italy and on his return the editorial management of the Dally News was offered to him and he accepted it, but soon gave this up, as he was not Interested In It. The "Pictures from Italy" was published the same year. Next followed "Dombey and Son," and "David Copperfleld," the latter which was Dlcken's favorite among his works. In 1SC0 Dickens became editor of House hold Words, which was later changed to All the Tear Around. In 1853 appeared "Bleak House." This was followed by "A Child's History . of England." "Hard Times." "Little Don-it," "A Tale of Two Cities." "Great Expectations," the best rounded of his works, and "Our Mutual Friend," the last novel which he lived to finish. "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" was left unfinished at his death. Dickens was of a sociable temperament and delighted In having his friends about him. One of his most marked character istics was his dramatic ability and ex treme fondness for tl theater. He often took part In private theatricals and It is said at one time an old banner-bearer at RULES FOR YOUNG WRITERS 1. Write plainly on en side of the papsr only an 4 number the pages. 8.
