The cost of the road is estimated at 800. 900,

pay for itself in one year. The number of
visitors will Undoubtedly be lar gely increased

A New York letter says: No class of New
York's population increases faster than the
Hebrew. 1t is now estimated at 200 and
is still growing rapidly. As rule the Jews
marry young, and their families are general
ly large. Old bachelors and old maids are
not near so numerous among these people as
among others. With all their fondness for
money making, the domestic instinct is strong
among the Jews, and the home circle appears
to have greater attractions for them than for
many who rail at them as people who live
only to grow rich. Another notable charac-
teristic is their morality. 1t is very rarely
that Jew appears in the police courts; they
are not quarrelsOme. they do not get drunk,
they respect the law, and they seldom have
any trouble among themselves. Among
what is called the lower class of Jews, when
any trouble Of this kind does occur, it is u.s.
ually settled in the synagogues, by a sort of
council which exists especially for that pur-
pose. The proportion of Jewish women
among the degraded of that sex is very
small, if it exists at ALL On this point the
statement of q Division street milliner to
reporter. the other day. has some bearing.
There are about fifty milliner shops in Divis-
ion street. and all are kept by Jews. You
cannot pass any of these shops at any hour
of the day without seeing an attractive young
woman outside, soliciting people outside to
go in and buy. The solicitingi is done quietly
and the manner of the girls is always modest
A reporter making tour Of the neighbor-
hood asked one Of the store-keepers if the
girls were not too much exposed by being
Kept outside. The answer was that they do
not suffer in any way. and no offensive re-
mark is ever made to them, and that, at all
events, Jewish girls as class are well able
to take care of themselves. Most of these
girls are daughters of the people who keep
the stores. and will probably keep similar
stores themselves when they marry.
