by King Ferdinand at the time he drove three
hundred thousand Of them out of Spain.
The Jews Of to-day are good fighters in the
courts. and so were they at the very beginning
Of their history on Manhattan Island. The first
Hebrew settlers who came here in a body num-
bered twenty-three and they arrived aboard the
st. Catarina. in September 1864. They were
refugees from the oppression of the Portuguese,
and came originally from Brazil. by way of the
West Indies, but they had no sooner landed than
they started a series of lawsuits. Some Of them
said they had no money to pay their passage,
and accordingly their baggage was seized, TO be
sold at auction, while at the same time the au-
thorities ordered two of them imprisoned pend
ing the payment of the money. To complicate
matters still further. Asser Levy, who afterward
distinguished himself fighter in the law
courts for the rights Of his people, brought suit
against a woman member Of the party for
money which he said he had lent her at the be-
ginning Of the trip. Indeed. the quiet of New
Amsterdam had not been broken by much
litigation since it had been founded forty years
before.
While these cases were still pending some more
Jews landed. They were Of more wealth than
their predecessors. and It is believed they must
have aided their poorer kinspeople. for the law
suits seemed 70 have been settled out OF court.
The New-York Jews Of the seventeenth CEN
tury, ike those Of the twentieth century gener-
ally succeeded in overcoming whatever obstacles
blocked their progress. The first settlers for
instance would doubtless have been promptly
driven out had II not been for friendly kins-
people who owned stock in the Dutch West Inoia

WOn Respect from GentLea-TO Celebrate Their Coming.

The 100000 Jews in this city, together with
about 100000 more of their kinsfolk in other
parts Of the United States. are preparing to
celebrate their first coming TO this country. two
and half centuries ago. The occasion is to be
one OF rejoicing. for never in all their memora-
bic history, even including the glorious days of
King solomon. have they prospered as they have
here Never since the dispersal of their race
have they enjoyed greater liberty or won
higher degree Of respect from those with whom
they live
For many reasons the coming festival VIII
centre in this city. It was here that the first
actual Jewish settlement in this country was
made. Here too, the Jews founded their first
religious society in the United states. Here
they fought their first battles for commercial
and civic freedom and won Here they have in
creased in numbers faster than in any other
community Of either the Old or the New World
until al the present time New-York contains
more Jews than have ever before lived in one
place. Jerusalem to-day has a population OF
about 10000, OF whom only one-half are Jews.

lived together in those days any more than they
DO now. Consequently, the city to-day has no
quarter which may be strictly called a
Ghetto" There is 4 constant shifting Of the
Jewish population the East Side, and as fast
possible the moro prosperous members OF
that community move uptown, settling in Lex
ingtOn and Madison aves. and in Harlem, both
east and west OF Fifth-aJe. At the present
time the wealthiest Jews have homes in the
most aristocratic districts, and many of the
houses in "AIilIionaircs' Walk opposite Cen
tral Park are owned by them.
For the that many Of the first Jewish
settlers of this city had been accustomed IL
Spain and Portugal to observe their religious
rites in secret, the command TO exercise their
religion within their houses was not such
a hardship to them might be supposed In
Spain the Inquisition brought out the fact that
numbers of Hebrews had publicly prOfessed
Christianity and attended the Catholic Church
regularly, who in secret still wOrshipped God in
their own way. At any rate, the Jews did not

a synagogue on the south side of Beaver-st.,
near Mill-st. (now South W'illiam-st.), with

The Jews stayed but their oppression con-

wanted ground for a cemetery and asked simply
for the right to purchase an appropriate piece
OF land. The Governor thought some time over

they were also told that they could not have
one. When they tried to sell goods at retail
they learned that the directors of the company
had refused them this right. When they wanted
to buy real estate they were informed that this
was against the law. All these privileges. how
ever, they obtained later after persistent fight
ing for them.
The refusal of the Dutch to let the Jews carry
on a retail trade had pypfound effect not only
upon these people, but also on the commercial
development of the whole city AS told by Max
J. Kohler. the Hebrew historical writer, the first
Hebrew merchants became importers, and TO this
line of business they have ever since devoted so
much attention that they now carry on most of
the wholesale trade of New-York. At the pres
ent time their stores and Offices crowd Broad
way for miles More recently, too they have
forged far ahead in the retail business, most
OF the department stores in this city being
in the hands OF Jews
AS the Dutch afterward found out, much to
their chagrin, the foreign trade into which they
drove the Jews proved TO the latter far more
lucrative than any other kind of business. The
most profitable commerce carried on from this
port at that time with the West Indies and
South America, with which the Jews were espe-
cially familiar, most of them had come from
those countries. They at once got in touch with
Jewish relatives and acquaintances at Curacao.

Had the wishes of the directors Of the Dutch

York to-day might have had a real Ghetto"
instead OF a semblance of one. 1t was the de-
sire of these Hollanders TO have all the Hebrew
inhabitants of New-Amsterdam live apart from
the rest of the community, and one of their let
ters of instructions TO Peter Stuyvesant con-
tained these words:

their religion within their houses, for which

HODGDON Will
Be TRIED HERE
Case Which has Attracted Grert
Ded! of Interest Remdnded to
District Court.

The supreme court, through an opin-
week annulled the action of Judge
Cheadle of the district court Of this ju-
dicial district in dismissing the appeal
of c. G. Hodgdon from the judgment
of the justice court, and ordered the
noted license case tried on it's merits
in the district court.
The Hodgdon case is one which has
attracted wide attention throughout
the state and threatens to continue ir
the limelight of judicial investigation
for some time to come. Hodgdon, ac-
companied by another man, came in
to Fergus county early last spring and
commenced to canvass the county in
the interest of an Illinois manufacture
ing concern. He sold a number of
buggies and vehicles throughout the
county before he was arrested on the
charge of violating a statute passed
at the last session of the Legislature,
the provisions of which require that
outside concerns must put up in each
county, a license of $500 before they
can peddle their wares about the coun-
ty.
Hodgdon refused to pay this fine and
upon being tried before Justice Nc.
Farland was found guilty and fined
$3.50 and costs. Hodgdon appealed
from this judgment filing as an ap-
peal bond, a certified check for double
the amount of the fine. After a legal
battle in which some of the best at
torneys of the state were engaged,
Judge Cheadle dismissed this appeal
on the ground that no undertaking on
appeal had been filed. The defendant
appealed from this decision of the dist
rict court and the supreme court now
holds that an undertaking is not neces-
sary and orders the case tried here.
