The Maccabean summer home, located

closed for the summer yesterday, after
having done untold good work in aiding
the poor, Ill and crippled of that city to

section with the Maccabean settlement
house, at 1904 East Baltimore street. was
opened June 1, the managers planning to
give such persons as were found deserv-
ing of assistance two weeks outing in

accommodated every fortnight, and it is
estimated fthat during the summer at
least $50 people enjoyed delightful So
journ there.
Yesterday those who had been num-
bered among the Maccabeans' guests dur
k,1 -

season, which has been very successful.
About 300 gladly responded, and the lawn
and grounds surrounding the house,
which Is large, airy and cool, with an
untold number of rooms and wide. de-
-lightful porches, were the scene Of much
merriment during the afternoon.
In the middle of the day the throng
was treated to a sumptuous repast, con-
sisting of sandwiches. coffee, roast corn,
pickles, fruits, cakes of all kinds, stick
candy and other delicacies. Following
the dinner the reunionists scattered over
the grounds, some strolling off for a
walk the boys playing ball, while others
danced on the piazza to the strains of a
