1)0 remembered that Kilkenny Is not Ireland. They shall bo forced to renew the xv a go of battle at every spot on Irian soil irom the center to the sea." The Freeman's Jonrnai says that Parnell starts for Paris to-night in order to meet his "trusty lieutenant." William O'Brien. Mr. Parnell, according to the journal, roluses to believe that a friendly conference between Mr. O'Brien and himself will bo barren ot results until they have delinitely failed to establish a modns Vivendi. At a meeting of theMcCarthyite committee held here, to-day, Mr. Michael Davitt denied that the priests had used intimidation tactics daring the campaign, or while the voters were bein? colled in North Kilkenny. He described Mr. Parnell as being the descendant ot a "common Cromwellian eoldier' vrho was "now Attempting to destroy Ireland." Mr. Healy said that the league funds in Ireland wera overdrawn to the extent of 2.000. as the bulk of the money credited to the league was locked up in Pans. Mr. Healy added that a compromise arrangement between Mr. Parnell and his opponents was out of the question, and that the latter would light to beat Mr. Parnell on every platform. Mr. Healy also said that, had Scully won in the North Kilkenny election, he would have been unseated in Parliament, owing to bribery and corruption by his political agents, who had expended in the recent campaign 1,000 more than the legal allowance. Mr. Healy declared his belief that secret-service money had been spent in Kilkenny to widen the split in the Irish Prty. ParnelTs Ohject In Going to Farts. London, Dec 24. Persons who know Mr. Parnell well say that it is useless to entertain the idea that he is open to conciliation. His sole object in going to meet Mr. OBrien In Paris, they say, is to convert the latter through bis emotional nature to Pa rn ell's Tiew of the situation. Mr.Tarnell is said "to have the most unbounded confidence that he can influence O'Brien in this degree. It is stated that the conference in Paris will begin by a personal interview between Messrs. Parnell and O'Brien, and that if their intercoure proceeds satisfactorily Mr. Justin McCarthy will be called In, and possibly other prominent Irishmen. The bitter language used by Timothy Healy in the late campaign is now recogBized as a serious obstacle in the way of harmony, as Mr. Parnell is said to be deeply wounded by the allusions to Mrs. O'Sbea. Timothy Harrington said to-day that any settlement which would retain the invaluable services of Mr. Parnell would be satisfactory to him; but he still regarded Mr. Parnell as indispensable. The conduct of the priests, ha added, had been such as to bring shame upon the church, and he feared that it would tend to alarm the non-con-formist massesof the English Liberal party far more than the O'Shaa matter had offended them. One cardinal principle of the non-conformists was that the church must not be permitted to dictate the politics of the people, and Catholic priestly interference had always been held up as a bugaboo to prevent Englishmen from doing full justice to Irishmen. Intelligent and liberal-minded Irish leaders had taught their followers to discard, in a large decree, those old notions as to priestly power, but what could they say now to the exhibition in Kilkenny! Mr. Harrington feared that home rule had received a blow, the eflect of which would bo felt for many years. The steamship Obdam, from New York, having Messrs. O'Brien and Gill, Nationalists, on board, was sighted off Prawle Point at 1 o'clock this afternoon. It is expected that the two gentlemen named will be landed at Boulogne-Sur-Mer at about 6 o'clock to-morrow morning. Several gentlemen, supposed to be Irish members of Parliament, are awaiting the arrival of the Obdam at Boulogne. JatIn McCarthy's View. Boulogne, Dec 24. Justin McCarthy arrived here yesterday. Regarding the election in Kilkenny he says the result surpassed his expectations, its decisive character being accentuated by the fact that Mr. Scully's vote included at least from four to six hundred Conservatives, making the total Parnellite strength only one-quarter of the total poll. Mr. McCarthy said he believed the defeat of Mr. Scully would have the effect of disorganizing the opposition, and would induce many waverers to come out against Parnell. Mr. McCarthy declared that his idea in coming here was to inform Mr. O'Brien fnlly in regard to the sentiment in Ireland. Mr. McCarthy said that he believed that in view of Mr. Parnell's declaration concerning the Kilkenny election all ideas of reconciliation between tho two factions must be abandoned. Mr. O'Brien, he said, was eminently a patriot, and might have left America with tho intention of effecting a reconciliation, but events since his departure would cause him to find this impossible. Even negotiations were hardly possible, he added, as no basis for a settlement of the dispute existed, Parnell having refused to accept the result of the election as a verdict, or to abandon the leadership. "The Nationalists," said Mr. McCarthy, "will never consent to Parneirs retention of the Irish leadership, borne of the Parnellites are lukewarm in their adherence, and only stick to Parnell out of a feeling of chivalry. It is likely that some will become detached

in order to joiu Mr. O'Brien when his de cision is known." Mr. McCarthy spurned the idea that O'Brien would join the Parnell party with out openly declaring hirasolf. "O'Brien's patriotism," said be. "is too well known to admit a suspicion that be would join the Parnellites, even if he fails to eriect a rec onciliation." He thought it probable that Parnell would go to Paris to see U'lirien. but said he himself would not see Parnell. as he had nothing to do with him, his sole object in coining here being to see Mr. O'Brien and explain the position of affairs. After he had had a talk with O'Brien he would return to England and await the result of the conference between O'Brien and Parnell. The outcome of that confer ence, he said, would constitute a final ground of action on the part of the Nation alists. The Nationalist party, he said. -would be glad if Mr. O'Brien should accept the editorship of the- new daily to be published in Dublin. Mr. McCarthy said be knew nothing regarding the discovery of league papers in raris. GENERAL. FOREIGN NEWS. TJoulanger Reminded by an Old Follower' that Ills Cause la Dead. Paris, Dec 24. General Boulanger's friends recently determined to press his old claim to a seat before tho Chamber of Deputies. Yesterday it was brought to vote and rejected. M. Laguerre, who was formerly an active supporter of the General, voted against the claim of his old leader. This Action was not unexpected from M. Laguerre's recent utterances, and especially his speech at the Salon des Families on Oct. 31, when he discussed Boulangism simply as an historical fact. In giving his vote M. Laguerre explained that his action was not directed against Gen. Boulanger personally. He was intluenced simply by motives of public policy. Ho was utterly amazed that General Boulanger should interpret his present opposition as a personal matter. Neither was it an indica tion of a continuance of a back-stairs pol icy against tuo ueneral, and it was a senous mistake for him so to think. Boulang ism was dead, and the sooner this fact was recognized the better for the country. Anarchists Convicted of Conspiracy. Paris, Deo 24. The trial of Labruyere, the Anarchist French journalist. Mine. Duquercy and Gregoire. the latter also a French Anarchist journalist, all three charged with conspiracy to defeat the end of justice by aiding in the escape of the Russian Anarchist.

Panama, Dec. 21. Humors of revolutionary movements in Peru have been rife here for some time past, and it is known that on tho 2d inst. a meeting was held in Fort

Santaclin. outside of Lima, and that. an effort was mado in behalf of ex-Dictator

Pierola. The movement was suppressed, but at a cost of forty lives. As matters stand in 'Peru it is not unlikely that similar risings will occur at short intervals, the conditions beingentlrely favorable. The extreme destitution prevailing throughout the republio is largely responsible for the unsettled state of anaira. neroia was recently in Lcuador. Catholic Missions Pillaged In Madagascar. London,. Dec. 24. Advices from Mada gascar, under date of Not. 26, state that a body of Hovas, paid by the Malagas pre mier, have pillaged the Catholio mission aries' premises at Antananarivo.

Commissioner Kauni's financial affairs are still pending unanswered, awaiting Chairman Morrill's retnru to the city. The com mittee has once before refused by a formal vote to go into these matters, 'and if, as even Mr. Cooper thinks, that the decision should be reaffirmed, thero will remain practically nothing more to investigate. 1 V Bynum Gone Duck-Hunting.

Tin-plate has been made in St. Louis by the Granite Iron rolling-mills, the sheet to be coated having been rolled from the basio steel made by the Southern Iron Company, of this city, from cheap Southern ores mined in this vicinity. The St. Louis men write that they are delighted with the material. It is excellent for the purpose, and they propose to use it steadily. Tin-plate from Chattanooga steel means making the finished article here in due time. . We are all free American citizens, enjoying our personal liberty; but most of us are in physical slavery, sobering from scrofula, salt rheum or some other form of impure blood.

ESCAPED TO THE BAD LANDS

Two Hundred Braves of Big Foot's Hostile Band Break Away from Col. Sumner, Four Companies of Cavalry Ordered to Recapture ThemBloody Fight Likely to Enbuo Before They Surrender Again. Pine Ridge Agency. S. D.. Dec 24. There was mounting in hot -haste here today when the news came that two hundred of the Sioux braves who surrendered to Colonel Sumner had escaped and were on their way to the Bad Lands. General Miles heard the news first and wired Gen. Brooke to send out troops to head them otZ In just an hour four companies of theKinth Cavalry, with pack animals, two Hotchkiss guns and one mortar were trotting down the road and were soon lost to sight over the hills to the north. A wagon train and escort followed to-night Colonel Henry is probably too late to prevent the union of the warriors, and will go into camp on White river, twenty miles east of the Bad Lands. If these bucks unite with Kicking Bear's band in the latter stronghold, there will be a bloody fight before the red-skins are induced to surrender again. The Indians who got away from Colonel Sumner were a part of Big Foot's band and included many of Sitting Bull's followers. . A squad of Indian scouts was sent after the troops to assist in the movement against the escaped hostiles. The Seventh Cavalry is under marching orders and will move before daylight. ' Seven friendly Indians have just returned from the Bad Lands and report that Short Bull's band refuses to come in and defies the troops. A dispatch from Rapid City, this morning, said that Colonel Sumner rounded up SCO of Big Foot's people on the Cheyenne river, and would probably bring them into Fort Meade. Colonel Merriam is looking up the stragglers from Hump's camp, who have joined the Indians in the ' Bad Lands. Tho majority of the outlying troops are now concentrating along the Cheyenne river, and the order is daily expected to close in on the renegades. The Indians, last night, set fire to a ranch belonging to a man named McCormick. The troops were immediately sent out, bnt on arrival found nothing but a heap of smoking ashes. The Indians had taken everything of value, burned thousands of tons of hay and killed nine beeves. McCormick and his famiy left the ranch some days ago. Ghost-Dancing in Indian Territory. Guthrie, O. T Dec. 24. White Cloud. Hatch-E-She and Running Deer, known as General Grant, were in this city, to-day. They came for the purpose of inviting some of their friends and their legal adviser, W. P. Thompson, to meet them nine miles east of this city to participate m what is commonly known as the ghost dance. The Iowas are entertaining many Indians from neighboring tribes, namely, the Kickanoos, the Ottoes and the Sao and Fox. There are also representatives from the Cheyennes, the Arapahoes, the Creeks and two messengers from the Sioux. The white visitors will do all in their power to allay, so far as possible, the Messiah craze. It is believed that they will have very little difficulty, as most of these tribes are friendly and of civilized nature. The dance, will commence on Christmas day, nine miles east of Guthrie. To most people a ghost dance means a preparation for taking scalps. The Territory Indians, however, are engaging Jn,it merely as a commemoration of the' birth of Christ 4 AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACT. i Pennsylvania's Law Forbidding: the Sale of Oleomargarine in the State Declared Invalid. """""" ,2 Philadelphia, Dec. 24. In the case of the Commonwealth against George Paul, Philadelphia agent of Braun & Fitts, of Chicago, manufacturers of oleomargarine, as to whom a special verdict of agreement of council was rendered for selling oleomargarine. Judge Reed to-day delivered a decision, in which he holds that the State law forbidding the sale of oleomargarine in the packages as originally imported from another State is unconstitutional. Judge Reed, after an extended opinion, sums up his conclusions as follows: First The right of the State to enact police laws, at least when such laws prohibit the sale of articles which, without prohibition would be legitimate subjects of couinierciai interchange, is subordinate to the power of the United States to reirulate eorairjerce between the States. Second The richt to sell iu the original package goods Imported from another State, if the latter are merchantable and legitimate r.uhjects of trade and commerce, is guaranteed by the United States, and though it can be regulated, It cannot be prohibited by any State. Third The United States has the paramount right to declare what goods are merchantable and what regulations of their sale are reasonable. Fourth By an act of Congress the United States has declared oleomargarine to be a merchantable article and has regulated its sale. Filth The act of the Assembly of Pennsylvania of May 21, 1883. does not regulate, but prohibits the sale of oleomargarine; therefore, such act cannot apply to the goods described in the special verdict, and the defendant is not guilty as he stands indicted. Cumulative Voting Unconstitutional. Lansing, Mich., Dec. 24. The last Legislature passed a law providing for cumulative voting for Representatives to the State Legislature in districts where more than one member was to be elected. The law allowed the voter to cast one vote for each of the candidates for Bepresentative on his ticket, or. if he chose, as many votes for one candidate as there were candidates on the ticket for that office. The county boards of canvassers having refused to issue certificates of election to Bepresentatives elected in this manner the matter was carried to the Supreme Court. The court decided to-day that the law was clearly unconstitutional. This decision makes the lower branch of the Legislature stand sixty-eight Democrats to thirty-four Republicans. Reception to Stanley at Omaha. Omaha, Neb., Dec. 24. Henry M. Stanley paid bis first visit to Omaha to-day since bis residence in this city twenty-two years aco, when he was a frontier correspondent Before his lectnre this evening the Mayor of the city delivered an address of welcome, and Governor Thayer, who presided, congratulated him upon his return to Nebraska and his career r. an explorer. At the close of the lecture an impromptu reception was held. Mr. Stanley met a number of old friends who were intimate with him during his former residence in Omaha. Christmas Mall Damaged at Chicago. Chicago. Dec. 21. The continued settling of the walls of the government bnildjng resulted to-day iu the breaking of a waterpipe and Hooding the basement with water. There is a vast quantity of Christmas mail in the building, and thousands of Christmas presents, many of them costly ones, have been ruined. About five hundred sacks of second-class mail matter were soaked. As far as possible the matter will bo dried out and forwarded to its destination. Some sacks of letter mail were also wetted, but it is believed that none of the letters were damaged enough to prevent their forwarding. Expert Testimony In the Sat? telle Case. Dover. N. II., Dec 24. The defense in the Sawtelle murder trial examined ouly a few witnesses to-day, and closed ita case. Dr. Frank H. Decker, of Boston, professor of medicine at Harvard University, and medical examiner in Suffolk county, was then called by Attorney-general Barnard. He testified that he made nearly seventylife autopsies and 2T5to three hundred postmortem examinations a year. He had repeatedly examined persons whodied from gun-shot wounds, and stated that the liability of bleeding ia very small. A wound

entering the left aide and passing backwards would not necessarily be fatal. Some hemorrhage would probably show itself at the month or nostrils. It would be thrown out, assuming that the man had his consciousness. He said a bullet passing through the heart would cause immediate unconsciousness. He did not think there would be any bleeding from the mouth or nostrils, and that transportation of a body in small space would not necessarily produce blood on the carriage. He thought, from the testimony of others, that three hours elapsed between death and decapita-. tion ot the body. A few more witnesses were examined and then the court adjourned until to-morrow, when the final arguments will be begun. m m m ' BAPTISTS AXD EDUCATION.

Dr. Harper's Plan of Establishing Schools or Academies for the Poorer Classes. CniCAGO, Deo. 24. It has been known for some time that Dr. Harper, president of the new Baptist University to be located in this city, had made a rather startling educational proposition to the trustees. The nature of it was not known until today when the Rev. Dr. Goodspeed, one of the trustees, outlined it. Dr.; Goodspeed says: The plan of Dr. Harper is one for college extension. It is proposed to bring the higher education within reach of the common people, and to do so it will be the purpose of the new university to operate through a system of branch schools or academies scattered throughout the country. This plan has been generally misunderstood. Those branches will be nothing more than preparatory, with no power of conferring diplomas or degrees. All of these branches will, however, be nnder the supervision of the central institution of learning. Onr great object will not be so much to graduate as to educate, and we hope to accomplish the greatest good by bnnging the means of higher education within reach of the poorer classes. The plan, as I understand it, is not patterned after any other now in existence, but is original with Dr. Harper. But that portion of Dr. Harper's plan which impresses the trnstees most favorably is that which dispenses with a regular curriculum, and gives the brighter students the privilege of completing their COllege C0Qr8e aDd receiving their fUll Complement of degrees and honors in less time than the mediocre can accomplish this. Students will be given the full benefit of their own energy in this direction and may complete the work in a short or long term, as their circumstancea or ambitions may direct. The plan of organization will doubtless be adopted at the next meeting of the board.'7 TWO FIGHTS TO A FINISH. Hogan Knocked Out by Van Heest in TwentyTwo Rounds and Griffin Bested by Johnson. Minneapolis, Deo. 24. There were two prize-fights to a finish, last night, in the rooms of the Twin City Athletio Club, of Minneapolis. The principal event was a match for a purse of $1,000, offered by the club $800 to the winner and $200 to the loser between Johnnie Van Heest, of Buffalo, N. Y., and Tommy Hogan, of St. Paul. Van Heest weighed 119 pounds, and Hogan 11SL2. Hogan had the advantage in height and reach, but was outfought at all points by Van Heest The latter rushed his man from the beginning, but broke his hand in the second round, thus prolonging the fight. Hogan showed himself a glutton for punishment, and a good general, but could not land eilectively. Van Heest finished his man, in the twenty-second round, with a hard swing on the neck. It was the best fight in this section for many a day. The other right was for a purse of $200, offered by the club, between Charley Johnson, of St. Paul, and Jimmy Griffin, of Minneapolis, two well-known middle-weights. Griffin did most of tne leading, and held the advantage until the tenth round, when Johnson floored him with an upper cut. Griffin came up groggy, and another upper cu.t in the twelfth round knocked him out. The Third -Party Convention Will Be Held. Kansas City. Mo., Dec 1M. Gen. John H. Kice. who is taking a leading part in the third-party movement, was asked what he had to 6ay about a recent message from Florida to the effect that the Cincinnati conference was declared off. "All I have to s.iy is that those who purport to have declared it off had no authority. The call wfcs signed by individuals from various States, members of different industrial organizations, in their individual capacity, and the Alliance, as an organization, had nothing to do with it, and only the gentlemen who signed it have any power to declare it oil. If the time fixed should be too soon the signers of the call will confer and agree upon a date not later than April or May as the proper time." Code of Laws Adopted in Oklahoma. Guthrie, O. T., Dec. 24. Oklahoma's first Legislature adjourned to-night. It has passed a complete code of laws, a composition of the Dakota. Indiana, Nebraska and Illinois statutes. While drawing from the many different authorities the code is rather mixed, but still on the whole compares well with the laws of the other territories. The capital question was uppermost in the minds of the members. Lvery Other measure was secondary, but when they fonnd that Governor Steele would not approve of a capital removal bill they got down to work in earnest and did all they could to adopt a code of laws best suitable to the people of Oklahoma. Lupus Patients Benefited by Koch's Lymph. New York. Deo. 24. All the inoculated patients at the various hospitals are doing well. The young man from North Adams, Mass., arreted with lupus of the face and hands, who was inoculated yesterday, showed marked reactionary symptoms today. His temperature rose to 105 degrees, and the epidermis is already beginning to scale off slightly. This (only two hours after injection) is regarded as almost marvelous. A similar effect has been produced in the case of the old woman who has lupus of the face. She is also "scaling" at a most satisfactory rate. Three Tramps Lynched. Walla Walla, Wash., Dec. 24. News has inst reached here that three tramps have been lynched near Hnntiugton, Ore., on the Oregon Short line, by railroad men. Four tramps boarded a freight car near Glen's Ferry, Idaho. They were put off by the brakemon, but .afterwards got on the train and overpowered a brakeman, whom they threw under the train. Both his legs were broken and he died soon after from his injuries. The report says the tramps were caught near Huntington and three of them were lynched. The fourth escaped. Killed by Electricity; Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 24. A negro named Will Grosvenor was killed, this afternoon, by leaning up against an iron post to which was tied a loose telephone wire. The wire was crossed with an electric wire, and the full force of the current went into the post. A mule, which the negro was driving, had touched the post with its nose and had fallen to the ground. The negro had gotten down from the wagon to see what was the matter with the mule, and leaned against the post with the result as stated. He died almost instantly. Reforms Urged by a Grand Jury. New York. Dec. 24. Before the' grand jury for the December term were discharged to-day the foreman handed up three important presentments. The first advocates the establishment, immediately, of a municipal lodging-house for poor people; the second calls for the compulsory application for a divorce by the courts by Jewish residents before the divorce is granted by the rabbi, and the third is in relation to persons who seek the criminal laws to aid them in the collection of debts. 860,000 for a Swedenborglan School. Cincinnati, Dec 24. The widow of the late Charles II. Allen, of Glendale, has, by a will which was probated to-day, given $00,000 in trust to Rev. Sewell. of V ashington city, to be used for founding, in Glendale. a school in which the tenets of; the Swedonborgian faith shall be taught. . 1 General Splnnar's Condition. 1 Jacksonville, Fla., Deo, 24.

The valuables were in a satchel, which was snatched while ' McClintock's back was turned. The Canadian government has declined to grant the request of the Ontario and Quebec Indians to revert to the old system of electing their own chiefs on the ground that the Indian advancement act gives perfect satisfaction. Mrs. Annie Smith, a patient at St. Vincent's Insane Asylum, St. Louis, committed suicide yesterday by hanging herself to the transom of her room with a bed sheet, which she twisted into the shape of a rope. She was sutlering from acute melancholia. Dan Brannan, ,a blacksmith, in jail at Emmettsburg, Ia., for intoxication, set fire to the bedding last night while lighting his pipe. The jail was considerably damaged. When Brannan was reached he was conscious, but dropped into an epileptic lit and expired. He was horribly burned. At a test of steel manufactured at the Carpenter steel-works, in Beading, Pa., a one-inch bar broke at a strain of 233,883 pounds, being abont twenty thousand pounds in excess of the highest record authoritatively .known. The test was made under tho supervision of government officers. S. E. Lane, who murdered J. E. Wilson, of Dallas, Tex., in 1SSS, for slandering his wife, committed suicide in prison there yesterday. 'The poison is supposed to have been smuggled into the prison by his wife. Lane had been convicted of the crime and was awaiting the final decision of the Court of Appeals in the case. Eliza Crafton, a young girl aged fifteen years, committed suicide by poison at the residence of WB. Buchanan, at Gratoit Station, a suburb of St. Louis. The girl was employed as a domestic, and was scolded by an older sister for associating with questionable companions. This so mortified her that she committed the rash act. At Fall River. Mass., John B. Cooney, extreasurer of tho Trades Council has been arrested on a charge of larceny on the complaint of the oflicers of the council.' The offense alleged is that Cooney has retained funds belonging to the organization and has resisted every effort of the officers to obtain possession of either this balance or the books. The statement is made on good authority that the French Canadians living near the New Hampshire State line are forming organizations with a view of obtaining many of the abandoned farms of that State and also, of Vermont. It is believed That there will be considerable emigration from the lower part of Canada into the States the coming spring. The proposed combination of tobaoco warehouses of Louisville and Cincinnati will nrobably prove a failure. The articles of incorporation were riled some time ago and organization effected, but it does not seem possible to carry the plan through. The deeds by which tne properties of the various warehouses were conveyed to the combination have been nullified by deeds yesterday made, which reconvey these same properties to the original owners, HMi mm BREACH OP PROMISE SUIT. mm Chicago Board of Trade Man Sued for $20,000 by Miss Patrice, an Actress. Chicago, Deo. 24.Miss Mary PatriceWhitbeck, now playing in "The Midnight Call" at one of the theaters here, is the plaintiff in a breach of promise suit for S20.000, begun to-day against A. P. Blakely, a yonng Board of Trade man, whose office is in the Royal Insurance building, and who is said to be pretty well fixed financially. Miss Patrice is the daushter of exJudge Whitbeck, of Hudson, N. Y. It was during an engagement here, it is said, that Miss Patrice and Mr. Blakely first became acquainted, and for some time he was eagerly, to all appearances, pressing for a marriage. The actress claims to have a number of letters showing conclusively that Mr. Blakely promised to marry her, and for this purpose took her to Waukcgan, 111., Dec. 13. He intended, he said, to go to Wisconsin, where marriage licenses are not required, and when he discovered his mistake in supposing Waukegan to be across the State line, he brought Miss Patrice back to Chicago, saying they would soon go to Kenosha, which is certainly in Wisconsin, to have the ceremony performed. They never went there, and the defendant is charged with backing out of the arrangement, tor which the court is now asked to pass upon the question of compensation for injured affections. The case promises to be a racy one Changes in the Jewish, Ritual. Cincinnati, Dec 24. The committee appointed at the Central Babbinical Conference at Cleveland last July, to formulate a ritual to be used by all the Jewish synagogues in the United States, met here and has agreed upon the following plan: The Sabbath and holiday prayers will be so recast as to be in accordance with the modern conception of Judaism, so that while retaining the striking and typical sentences in the Hebrew, the greater part of the service will be in English.
