needs, so that last year more adjoining lots were
acquired, on which an extension, with an im¬
posing frontage on One Hundred and Sixth
street, is now approaching completion. Com¬
mencing with the care of four inmates, it now
gives shelter to one hundred and seventy,
while the completed building will afford health¬
ful and pleasant rooms to three hundred. The
character of the Home has been well expressed
by its late indefatigable President in the
statement that it provides, "not only a
shelter, but a Home." It is the largest
Hebrew Institution of its kind in the
world, and has served as a model for many
others since its establishment. The members
of the Executive Board, together with the hon¬
 

ored Physician of the Home, Dr. S. N, Leo,
have been untiring in their zeal in its behalf,
and it is to them that its splendid achieve¬
ments are so largely due.

The Trustees at present are : Simon Borg,
President; Mrs. Jacob Scholle, Vice-President;
Charles Sternbach, Treasurer; Mesdames
Henry Gitterman, L. Kohns, S. Herman, J.
Z. Coblens, Jacob Rothschild, L. Zeckendorf,
L. Friedman, F. Rothschild, P. Banner;
Mes.srs. Chas. Minzesheimer, C. L. Bernheim,
Frederick Nathan, Henry Sidenberg, G, A.
Goldsmith, Isaac Bierman, I. A. Englehart,
W. Caspary, M. Goldman, I, Boskowitz, J, E.
Hyams, G. Blumenthal and A. Cohn. Mr.
and Mrs. M. Helm are the Superintendents.

His life went out:
If go I must, so must I go."

Ah ! what were life without thee? "
