Eight Degrees of Charity From Maimonides Teachings
This piece outlines eight levels of charitable giving from Maimonides. It progresses from the reluctant gift to the donor’s hand to the ultimate act of preventing poverty by aiding the recipient to become self-sufficient, including anonymous gifts and those that support a poor person’s dignity. It cites scripture Jeremiah 25:35 as the guiding ideal.

Slavery in Hawaiian Islands Plantations Report Draws Criticism
A San Francisco Chronicle dispatch quotes a machinist who describes brutal conditions on Hawaiian plantations. He reports overcrowded slave quarters, harsh fines by overseers, enforced long workdays, and food prepared under abusive supervision. Ethnic groups are described as blended into a single degraded labor system, with liquor bans ineffective and debt prolonging bondage. The account links these abuses to plantation power structures near Nasicha and cites lingering colonial exploitation in Milwaukee memories.
