Rosh Hashonah or New Year's Day marking the beginning of the Jewish year 5.672 falls this year on Saturday the twenty-third of September. It 18 observed 08 3 holy day from sundown of Friday, the twenty-second until star rise of Sunday, the twentyfourth. The Biblical basis for the observance of the first and second day of Fishri AS a New Year's day and the most solemn day of the Jewish calendar.

next to Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement, is found in the reference to a "memorial day" in Leviticus XX111, 24, which reads: "In the seventh month. in the first day of the month. shall ye have 8 Sabbath. A memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy Ezra also refers to the day a8 one "holy to the (Nehemiah VIII. 9).

Not a mere day of rejoicing. like the secular New Year, is this Rosh Hashonah. It is A Day of Memorial. or a Day of Remembrance. reminding the Hebrew of the duty of self-examination and self -judging.

To arouse the conscience to this solemn task the ceremony of sounding the ram's horn, forms all important feature of the service. It is customary to assemble in the Synagogues for a few days before New Year's day for the recital of penitential prayers called Sellchot. This continueg until the eve of the Day of Atone. ment. These Selichot are chanted before dawn in the dimly lit houses of worship.

praying for the sins of the past year. In many places the ceremony of Tashlich. originating with the German Jews about the X1Vth century, is observel on the afternoon of the New Year's day. The worshipers congregate near a running stream when the eighteenth to twentieth verses of the VIlth chapter of Micah are entoned. ending with phrase which no doubt suggested the ceremony, "Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." It is custom to extend to one another the greeting "A good "Mayest thou be insertbed in the Bool: of Life for A good year." It is also this custom to send to friends New Year's greeting cards and presents, and when the earnest devotions of the day are done, the festival is made an occasion of social and domestic rejoicing.

FIRST JURY CASE. C. H. Martin Seeks 81.500 from C. W.

Papin as Result of Collision. Chittenden court took up Its Arst jury case vesterday morning. it being county, that of Charles Martin va. Charles W. Papin, an action to recover damages 11.

of $1.500. The plaintiff sets up that on the night of July 29, 1910, while driving 8 team toward Essex Junction, he was run down and thrown out of his wagon by an automobile, driven by the defendant. The accident, it is alleged, occurred on the curve in front of St. Michael's College, or, to be more precise, opposite front gate of that institution. Testimony of H.

M. McIntosh, city engineer, who drew two plans of the scene of the accident, and of the plaintiff, was heard yesterday afternoon. The Jury was drawn in the morning, and as none of the members was familiar with the scene of the accident. it was taken there by Sheriff Allen. A.

Sykes of Hinesburg was appointed by the court as foreman, this being in accordance with a new law adopted in 1910. The former custom was to have the Jurors chose a foreman from among themselves. As the jury is composed mostly of farmers, the members were asked if they had any prejudices against automobiles, whether they had ever ridden in cars. whether they were the owners of cars and whether they had met automobiles in the highway while driving. It proved that none of the jurors was prejudiced against the much maligned "buzz wagon:" that none owned one, but that all had ridden in It was claimed in the opening statement for the plaintiff, made by John J.

Enright, that the collision was due entirely to the negligence of the defendant. It is claimed further that because of the collision the plaintiff was thrown from the wagon and severely injured, and that he has not yet completely recovered the sight of one eye, It was also claimed that he was unable to work until last spring. In the statement for the defendant, presented by R. E. Brown, It was claimed that Mr.

Papin was driving his machine on the right hand side of the road, but the plaintiff was driving on the left or wrong side of the hignway. It was claimed further that the defendant's machine was not exceeding a speed of 10 miles an hour, and that the machine was protected by lights. It was claimed, also, that the lights on the machine shone on the approaching team and that the driver appeared to be asleep, and that when he awoke he pulled his team directly in the path of the car, instead of to the right. The testimony of City Engineer MeIntosh had to do entirely with distances, and was purely technical. The defendant was summoned to testify by the plaintiff's counsel, and was asked about the speed of his car at the time of the accident.

Mr. Papin answered that it was about seven or eight miles an hour. Pending the examination of this witness, A recess was taken to this morning. During the present tern. the court has found time to hear the divorce case of Hattie Tacy vs.
