section of the Talmud Torah is in
better condition than it has ever
been heretofore. Rabbi Soko1ow is
the principal. Under his direction
the pupils presented Joseph and

The Synagogues.
The Adath Israel synagogue paid

The Tefereth Israel congregation
has purchased the corner at Fourth

the leadership of it's president, Da-

membership almost one hundred
per cent during the year, until it
now stands at $50. Some time ago

The life of the nation was about to

was the first to take that stand. He
has left nothing unsad that could have
been said in defense of the Constitu-

While he spoke to the crowded gal

arose before me like dream. I could

night. I could see the farmers gather
