The Jews infrmary and Hebrew Benevolent

have never obtained any funds from
home associations except by spe-

for thirty orphans outside of the asylum and
attend to and entirely support over 500 suffer

than ever and will increase e month longer.
We therefore appeal to the israelites of ou1
country to aid us promptly in this unparal-
leled calamity. Chas. Simon, acting president,
