New Town Starting.

An opposition town, to be called Carbon Center has started netr Ga talla. The new site is three miles from the present town, near the terminal of the railroad, where several buildings have already been erected and saloons and other business houses are to soon start. $. o. Freedman, who is now in Valdez, has taken out license for saloon at the new town, where he has already constructed large building He says if the road goes ahead the new town will have Catalla on the run, be- ing in much better location.
 One change that should be made in the Alaskan laws is that which relates to the punishment of vagrancy and the care Of the indigent poor As the law now stands, if person becomes sick and exhausts their finances in any Alaskan community where there is no charity hospital, the only way in which he can hope for attendance at public expense is to cast himself before the authorities as vagrant. No provision Is made for the care of indigent and helpless poor, and thus misfortune must be punished the same as a crime-Sentinel.

Further important relief is looked for
from the facilities extended by the

allowing the substitution OF State and

eminent bonds are made available as

The Barbados Synagogue


Kadosh Nidhe Israel" is probably ono
of the oldest in the British Empire, for
it dates back to the early part of the
seventeenth century, and one Of the tomb
stones in the burial ground at Bridge
town bears the date 166O-only five years
after Menasseh ben Israel set foot in
England In it's early days the con
gregation must have been extremely
prosperous, and among it's members
were to be found some of the most aris-
tocratic of Sephardim, many Of whom,
no doubt, afterwards left for Jamaica
when that island became British pos
session. Towards the end of the
eighteenth century the congregation was
becoming smaller and less important, ow.
ing to the wealthier members being at
tracted to the mother country, and in
1882 the number Of contributing mem
beres seems to have dwindled down to
about thirty, the number OF Jewish resi-
dents, however, being considerably more.
In 1884 the funds of the congregation
seem to have become so low that the
warden, Mr.. d. M. Lobo, soueght the
opinion of the attorney general OF the
island as to whether he could be held
personally responsible for the salaries
OF uno CudZdu anu CLduIllttS. IL was
advised that, despite his bond, he would
not be liable, and meeting was called
with the object Of reducing the salaries
of the various officials. Matters, how
ever, do not seem to have improved, for
in 1S41, the funds belonging to the syn
agogue were handed over to trustees in
England and on the death of Mr.. l. M.
da Costa in 1912 Messrs Jacob Monte
fore Hananel de Castro, Judah Aloof,
and Nathaniel Lindo were appointed new
trustees Other gentlemen have served
this office from time to time, and the last
deed in 1887 vested the funds in the late
Sir Joseph Sebag- -Montfore, Abraham
Mocatta, Jacob Nunes CASTILLO, and
Gabriel Lindo, the last-named of whom
is now sole surviving trustee.
On February 2, 1869, Mr. M. B.
Isaacs, warden, wrote to the eight re-
naming contributing members, calling
attention to the very reduced number Of
members, and the necessity for placing
the synagogue property in the hands OF
trustees Seven out Of the eight contrib
uting members expressed their approval,
and the outcome was an indenture OF
conveyance, dated May g. 1869, by which

When mid the wealth Of Nature sweet
My heart is wrapped in dreams.
He drives me from the dearest place,
Though sweet the morning be,
And in my small room shuts me up,
Where hard toll is for me.
When my heart bleeds, he says, Be

And in thyself have trust
And if weep and say I can't,
He orders me: "Thou must!'
He causes strife, he gives me rest,
Earned by sweat and care;
