 One of the most interesting charitable organizations in the city Is located at No. 70 Gouverneur Street, in the heart of the Ghetto. It is known among the Hebrew population as the Home for the Aged of the Daughters of Jacob.
 This home has been in existence for the last seven years At present it shelters sixty Hebrew men and women who have reached the winter age of life without sufficient funds left to keep them for their remaining years, and many more are asking for admission. To provide for such as these women of the Jewish faith who compose the wealthiest and best social strata organized and diligently ap- pealed to their friends for funds to se- cure a home where proper care could be administered to the unfortunate. When the ladies of the order informed the prosperous Hebrews that many of their kind were in want money was given with a free hand.
 The present quarters were established and applicants were received. Among the l first to aid the Daughters of Jacob was Judge Herman Joseph, Gustavus A. Rogers and George Krouse. The com mittee turned all their energies to find- ing the poor and needy who had passed their sixtieth natal day
 It was not hard to find among the enor- nous population of New York indigent Hebrews who had no place to lay their aged heads. To meet the increased de- mands upon the institution a new home has become imperative. The Committee on Building of the Daughters of Jacob has decided to purchase the property Nos. BOP and 3oS East Broadway.
 Some of tho most interesting charac- ters in the great flotsam and jetsam of New York life are to be found within the home. Two. people of special interest are Michael Jabowsky and Rachel Levine MT. Jabowsky is one hundred and one years old. Mrs Levine has passed her ninety eighth birthday. They have both outlived all their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Jabowsky was compelled to leave Hungary, his native land, seventy years ago. He was pa triot, who followed the flag of Louis Kossuth. Of the patriot of the Hunga- rians he never tires of speaking.
 Although the old patriot has been on earth for more than century he hears we'll and talks with a clear, deep voice that is distinctly heard in all parts of the ward. where he regales his fellow in- mates of the home with the blood curd- ling tales of the Hungarian fight for liberty.
 Mrs. Levine is not so fortunate. She has been bedridden for years and can scarcely hear. Her second sight has re- turned, however. and her vision is as clear as a clIilds.
 The other old women, most of them in their eighties, lovingly. refer to her as 'Matka," the Polish word meaning mother.
 When addressed recently in regard to her health Matka Levine replied:
 'T am as happy and contented as God can wish for. We have all that mortal can desire"
