New York, Dec. 1.-THE trus-
tees of the Hebrew Orphan Asy-
lum have declined the offer of a
gift of money from Mrs. A. r.
Stewart through Judge Hilton, and
it is expected other Hebrew associ-
atoms will take similar action. The
President Of Mount Sinai Hospital
says If Mrs. Stewart had quietly
sent check to the institution it
would probably have been accepted,
but in view of the way in which
the offer was made there was a
feeling of opposition to the accept
ance among the Hebrews generally.
The President of the Home for
Aged and Infirm Hebrews says the
offer made through Judge Hilton
would not be accepted, as he had
thrown down the gauntlet and
procribed the whole Hebrew race.
There was naturally a strong feel
ing among the Hebrews against
accepting gifts from such a source.
