HEBREW ASSOCIATIONS AND
THEIR ORIGIN.

The Hebrew people are of IDEAL
principles. They always strive to inn
prove their position, and are in the
full sense of the word a Progressive
People"
1t is not at all surprising that they.
are prosecuted. by the tyrannical ma
tons for the Hebrews hate tyranny
and love liberty. They hate oppres-
sion and love free thought and free
speech. AS soon as these people
touch the Land of the Brave and the
Home of the Free" they Immediately
set about to accomplish that at which
their ambition aims: to better them
selves and to help their neighbors bet
ter themselves.

ROESSLER & ~HASSLACHER

Surpassed by no chemical works
in the country is the triple plant of
the Roessler & Hasslachcr Company,
il this City. The original plant.
still in use, is situated at Front and
Commerce streets, on both sides of
Front street. Here a large force OF
men is kept at work, the company
having a long stretch of water front
and a long and wide covered wharf,
at which land the large vessels which
carry on the company's commerce.
This original factory and works
comprises several buildings, covering
a large amount of land. The second
plant, known as plant No. 2, was
built within the last few years. 1t is
in High street, between DeKalb and
Buckingham avenues, and is very
large, including several buildings.
AT this plant, also the number Of
men employed runs into the hundreds
The buildings are all of the most
improved and up-to-date construction,
and the whole is one of the most
modern of its class in this city Of
factories and large works.
The third and most recently built
plant is at the corner of High street
and Buckingham venue. This plant
will one day, probably exceed the
others in size and Importance. 1t is
gradually, almost continuously being
added to and will ultimately, in all
likelihood, occupy the whole of the
large parcel of ground on which it and
Plant No. 2 are situated.
Plant No. ; was built for the manu-
facture of the disinfectant, form
aldehyde, now almost indispensable
for medical purposes. The demand
for this product is exceedingly
large, and the Roessler < Hasslacker
Company supply a large proportion
of this valuable disinfectant and germ
destroyer, for this part of the country.
This company also has a large fac.
tory at Niagara Falls, N. Y, employ
ing a large number of men.
This firm holds a prominent place
with its large works in Germany,
from which come a large number Of
the numerous chemists and other en-.
ployes brought from the Old Country.
AT these works are manufactured
all lines of chemical products, en-
bracing every branch of this import
ant industry. The company has
large salesrooms in New York City.
The vice-presiddnt, Franz Roesslcr,
makes his home in this city and has
personal supervision over the works
The officers of the company are presi
dent, Jacob Hasslacher; vice .presiden
Franz Roessler; secretary, William A
Hammann.

than it was when they occupied their
large store in the Hess block. =.
In line with their hustling policy,
the proprietors have decided to occu-
py one half of the new Slobodien
Brothers store, on Smith street, upon
its completion. They will take the
store directly adjoining the building
of the Perth Amboy Trust Company.
Their store will extend farther back
than the bank building, and this fact
will allow of their establishing their
delivery department on Hobart
street. They will thus be able to
dispense with the necessity of having
one or nor of their wagons almost
continually standing in front of the
store
There is always something origi-
nal in the news of their stores, all
ways an opportunity for the frugal
purchaser and for the connoisseur.
Absolute satisfaction can always be
found, and their customers are salts
fled with both grade and price
There is often trouble in securing de-
pendable groceries, but not at the
Hilsdorf stores. All their efforts are
directed towards raising the standard
of their groceries, and towards low-I
ering their prices in inverse ratio.
They have hundreds of customers to
to the success of their efforts.
The members of this enterprising
firm are John H. Hilsdorf of Red
and Frank Hilsdorf of this
city. Two other members of The
are also associated with the
business.

HEBREW EDUCATIONAL
LEAGUE.
A few months ago the Hebrew Ed
ucational League was organized. 1t
was organized by a number Of men
who were idealistic and scientifically
disposed. Its purposes are to have
lectures, every second one to be de-
livered by one of its members, the
subjects covering scientific and histor-
ical facts. AT the close of the lecture
the subject is literally discussed by
those present: The characteristics Of
this society are that it has no benefit
in the way of money, nor has it any
business outlook, it has not even a
set of officers with the exception of a
permanent secretary. The presiding
officer is chosen at each meeting.
YOUNG LADIES' SOCIAL
CIRCLE.
Among the younger element in the
,lubdom circles there is n which
has made stride and progress, much
beyond the expectations of the organ
izers. The Young Ladies Social Cir
cleasthey have named selves, com
posed of many pleasant young ladies
who have a desire to promote socia-
bility and also to improve themselves
physically and mentally. This organ
ization was brought into existence
October IL, 1908, with a membership
of eight. The first officers that ruled
the association consisted Of Lena
Goldman, President; Ida Levy, Vice
President; Malvina'Wiess, Secretary;
Sadie Frankel, Treasurer.
Their membership roll now shows
twenty-five and all are active mem
bers. They are charitably disposed,
,lways taking an interest III any un
lertaking of such nature and lend a
helping hand whenever the necessity
arises. Among the members are high
school students, and those of COM
mercial pursuit and some who are ent
,irely socially inclined. They meet
every two weeks, and at every meet
ing an interesting and pleasant pro-
5ramme is carried out. The present
officers of the circle are as follows

The effect of President Roosevelt's
action in afixing his signature to the
bill authorizing the opening In July Of
the unalloted lands OF the Fort Totem
reservation was immediate. Already
the excitement in the northwest states
is running high and the land depart
ments Of the various railroads report
that the task Of answering the inquir-
les concerning the details Of the open

bilities Of the situation furnish the one
subject Of paramount interest for
thousands Of eager settlers In Mime

states and even at this early date
families arc making their arrange

A GIANT OCTOPUS.
1he Way Thirty Foot Monster
Came to He Captured. "

1he Way Thirty Foot Monster
Came to He Captured. 81.
M One of the most interesting objects
In the Natural History museum, In
Trondhjem, Norway, Is a large octo-
pus. e. r. Kennedy, the author OF
'Thirty Seasons In Scandinavia" not
only saw the octopus, but little later
heard the story Of the capture of it, as
related both by the fisherman whose
boat it attacked and also by two in
dependent witnesses. The fisherman
was leisurely rowing on calm day
close to the rock bound shore of one of
the f1ords situated some fifty miles
north Of Trondhjem. Suddenly long
and glistening arm swept over the
stern Of the boat and remained there.
The fisherman, astonished at this un-
wonted apparition, dropped his oars
and sprang to his feet. Like magic
another hideous looking arm shot over
the gunwale. The boat canted. The
man, realizing that he was attacked
by some monster against which his
old fish knife was the only available
weapon, seized his oars and labored
with might and main to get his boat
into crevice Of the rocks, all the time
yelling for his mates, who were not
far of. He had to strain every nerve
to drag his hideous cargo after him,
for the suckers never relaxed. When,
half exhausted, he got the bow Of his
craft within reach of willing hands, it
took the three men to haul it up
slight incline, for the monster still
hung on, even over the bare rocks.
Then they belabored Its head with
oars and clubs. Having safely secur.
ed it, they sent of to the nearest sta
ton and telegraphed concerning their
prize. It was at once purchased by
the museum and carried there after it
had been photographed. They stretch
ed its arms out before preparing it.
The longest were each five allen, or ten
. feet four inches, in length. Over all,
together with the great carpet bag
body, the monster measured thirty
feet across.

BATH BRIEFS.

Never battle when overheated.
Never battle when exhausted and
feeling Ill. ,......
Do not prolong the bath beyond
reasonable time.
Wait more than two hours after
meal before bathing.
In cold weather one should not go
out for some time after hot bath.
Delicate people had better not battle
until several hours after breakfast.
The temperature of water for cold
bath should range from 80 to Is de-
grees.
II you are chilly and a cold bath
makes you shiver it is not the best sort
for you to take.
Dry the body quickly, using a dry
bath brush or Turkish towel to slim
ulate circulation.
Opinions differ as to the relative
merits of cold or hot bath. Nei-
ther kind will do for all. The individ-
ual constitution must be consulted.

Polk & Co.'s Gazetteer for Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota and
Montana, for 1904, is out. 1t is well
printed and well bound but If the
information contained therein is no
more reliable or complete than the
paragraph devoted to Bismarck then
a great many people are likely to be
misled about a great many things.
For instance, the startling informa-
ton is first given that Bismarck is
incorporated and is within forty miles
of the geographical center of the state.
That's all right; so far SO good. But
we are next told that "the buildings
at Fort Lincoln are nearly done and
when completed will cost $4,000.
Just think of it-$75 ,000-and will ac-
commodate six officers and 200 men"
The post when completed will cost
$500, 900 and accommodate 1900 men.
Where did the intelligent historian on
this book obtain his information?
And then listen to this: Grain,
hides, furs, wood and coal are ship
ped" Gentle reader just contemplate
the shipment of wood" as among the
principal industries of the capital
city However, aside from historical
