The coming Of the Jew to the new
world was very early, indeed. He came
over with Columbus. DR.. Moses Kay
serling, the renowned savant of Buda-
Pesth, has proved that the illustrious
Genoese navigator had among his crew
in the three vessels which sailed from
Palos on Aug. 8, 1892 members of the
race of Abraham. One of these Jews,
Rodrigo Sanchez, relative of the royal
treasurer Of Arragonian Spain, accom-
panied the expedition as Veedor, or
superintendent, at the special request
Of Queen Isabella. The ship physician
and surgeon were also Jews. Sanchez
was the second to espy the land Of the

Of course, when George Settled back
in his old-bachelor apartments with
this innocent little sweetheart fitting

he did not feel like stirring out of the

himself billing and cooling to his

On the fourth day he thought he
must go down to the club and see a
few old friends and give them his ad-

IF my memory serves me, the great
road was finished about 1882. For even
then nothing greatzwas expected of the

"Safeguards Of Our City, was the topic
discussed by Rev. H. Plantikow yesterday
morning at Emanuel Evangelical church,
Pine street and Van Slyke court. He referred
to Jeremiah's solicitude for the welfare of
Babylon, and disputed the common saying
that God made the country but man the city.
He discussed current topics as follows:
AS true citizens we ought to be intensely
interested in the well being of our city. Soon
we shall again be called upon to make use
of our suffrage as. citizens in the interest of
our city. Will We do it fairly? Will we
