SIR MOSES M~ONrEFIoRE.
The Family History of the MOntefOres-His
Service for the Jews.

The Family History of the MontefiOres-His
Service for the Jews.
London Times.
Montefore is the beautiful name of a little
town on the eastern slope of the Apennines, in
Ascoli Piceno. According TO q family tradition,
confirmed by the records of the synagogue, the
Montefiores were at one time settled in Ancona,
The seaport of the district, and it is conjectured,
therefore, that they came to Ancona from the
Picentine village set among hills overgrown by
flowers. The name is in German exactly repre-
scented by Blumberg, which is a Jewish family
name, but Jewish surnames in northern Europe
must be used with great caution as Il guide to
the origin of the older and less accidental south
ern names. From Ancona the Montefiores mi
grated to Leghorn. and in the middle of the
eighteenth century Moses Hahn Mon
tefiore travelled from Leghorn to London
and settled in Philpot lane. He begat seven
teen children, one of whom became a merchant
and travelled for business purposes to Leghorn,
taking his wife with MIN. There Moses Monte
fore was born, but was reared in England.
v y y Montefiore has done his utmost to en-
courage agriculture in Palestine, and although
his efforts have been slow in producing success
full practical results, they bid fair to bear fruit
at last. More obvious and immediate were the
services he rendered in the Damascus affair in
1910 and in Morocco in 1864 At Damascus the
Jews had been accused of using human blood in
kneading passover cakes. Montefore proceeded
to Constantinople, demonstrated before learned
'Moslems how repugraut was the charge to every
prlnclpIe Oh JuudlSul, ana IneleupOn the sultan
issued the celebrated edict of the 18th Rama
zan, which discusses and refutes the in
veterate SANDER, In Morocco the Jews had
been frequently oppressed, and were in
1863 in special danger from a
false charge of murder having been successfully
brought against some of their number by a Eu-
ropean. At the age of seventy nine Moses Mon
tefore crossed the desert to the Moorish capital,
was received by the Sultan in grand audience,
and made so favorable an impression on sover-
pipO and npODla that the .Ja-ES for nQnv wears
enjoyed comparative immunity from onslaughts.
In 1860 Montefore started a subscription in the
columns of the Times for the relief of the
Christians in Syria, and collected over Ego, 900.
In 1871 he RENTED ELS, 900 for the relief of
famine in Persia. Twice on behalf of his CO.
.religionists he went to Russia, and his Interviews
with two. Cars were not without at least tenn
porary effect. Pilgrimages to Roumania and
Rome, the latter on behalf of the boy Mortara,
who was, in consequence of the treachery of a
maid servant, baptized, torn from his mothers
care. and reared as a priest, proved failures, but
the Mortara incident FASTENED the loss of the
temporal power.

MIR. BLAINE GOT ALLsTHE NEW 5.
The Reason for His Having to Buy Four
High Hat in About Seven Weeks.


High Hats in About Seven Weeks.
New York Sun. o
Although Mr.. Blaine has been absent from
Augusta about fifty days, and in that time has
travelled about II, 600 miles, he was not without
news Of his home affairs even before Mrs. Blaine
met him at the Fifth-avenue Hotel last Tuesday
night. Every night during his unprecedented
campaign tour he talked with his wife, his
daughter, and his more intimate, friends and
neighbors in Augusta, A telegraphic instrument
had been set up in his home, and WAS operated
there by his private secretary, who
remained there, and who has occupied
that confidential post fifteen years. Be
fore Mr.. Blaine retired at night, in whatever
town he stopped to rest, it was his habit to put
himself into communication with his family.
He greeted his wife and daughter, told them in
. few concise sentences Of the days experiences
and Of how he was feeling, and then heard from
them the days budget of family and local news,
30 that nothing of even minor Importance con-
corning his home and its neighborhood escaped
him. 1t will be through the cricket-like chirp-
ing of this same instrument that he will know
his fate as he sits by the operators side in his
home to night .:"}
He bought a new silk hat while he was in this
eity-the fourth one in less than seven weeks.
The third hat that was thus replaced was so
shabby when he reviewed the great street dem
onstration Of Friday night that there were per
sons present who. were willing to make affidavit
that it was worse looking than the historic and
familiar old tile which Mr.. Evarts has
carried ever since the war. Mr.. Blaine
has a habit of emphasizing his public
remarks by unconscious attacks upon his hat,
which he always carries before him in his left
hand, while he gesticulates with his right
Worse yet, for his hat, he occasionally uses the
left hand in moments of ferver. and then the
collisions between the hat and the right hand
are much more forcible and frequent than when
he merely bangs the crown or side as it lies in
repose in an idle grasp. He has had "a habit.
also, of moving through the enormous and COM
pact crowds wherever he has gone with his un-
fortunate hat held at his side, even. with his
knee, or in front of his stomach, and his compan-
ions on his recent journey say that when he has
gone into a multitude with a brand new hat held
in either of these ways he has returned with it
looking as if it was 1t century old and had spent
most of its time in a rock crusher.

An UnprontabIe Investment.

London Letter.
Lord Randolph Churchill has been dealing with
one of the new agencies which processes to col:
lect and supply anybody with newspaper cuttings
of any and every kind. Lord Randolph arranged
with one concern to supply him with cuttings Of
everything said against him. 'At the end of
o month, said the noble Lord, II found that l
owed them about thirty guineas, q hundred cut
tings a week being the fair average of abuse.
1t would have been much cheaper and pleasanter
If l had arranged with him for only the good
things said about me-" Certainly, 81 500 per an
mum is a good price to pay for the collection of
all the unkind things a free and independent
press may have to say about you.

Vanderbilt and the English for Cleveland.

Vanderbilt and the English for Cleveland.
New York Sneoial. ..: .r..4 ....
Wall street was a good deal agitated to-day
when it became known that w. H.. Vanderbilt
had declared himself in favor of Cleveland. 1t
has been known for some time past that Mr..
Vanderbilt favored Cleveland in % quiet way,
but he has refused to declare his preference pub
licly until last night, when he stated to n circle
of his friends that he should vote for Mr.. Cleve-
land, and sincerely hoped he would be elected.
Mr. Vanderbilt is reported as saying that the
Plumed Knights record is too bad to be Endorsed
by an honest man. Mr.. James Whitley brought
the news to the Stock Exchange. and it was af-
forwards substantiated by Addison Cammack
and others. The excitement on Change, when
it became generally known, for u time iuterfered
with business. and wild cheers. were given for
Grover Cleveland and Vanderbilt. A large
amount of betting was INDUCED in by stock
brokers' From all the talk it would be
judged that several hundred Thousand dollars
haea ben staked. Trustworthy accounts indi-
cate that at least 800, 900 was wagered. As a
rule the brokers denied that they were betting
for themselves, and the general impression was
that they were truthful in saying SO and that
She bulk of the money put up on the Blaine side
was that CT Mr.. Jay Gould and Deacon S. V.
White, of Plymouth Church, while that ven
tured on Cleveland came from Messrs. Campack
and Woerishoeffer. principally the latter. On
the general resultth betting was generally eeen.
The Republicans began to bet even money that
Blaine would carry New York State but were
speedily deferred from doing so by offers of
81, 900 to $500 that Cleveland would carry it. A
few bets were obtained on these offers.
The London cablegram giving an extract from
q Times editorial, wherein Blaine's canvass was
severely criticised, receiT ed here to day, excited
much comment. That portion of it which says
'tBlaine's inf1ammatory Western speeches have
not helped his cause is posted up all over town.

THE GOOD OLD CUSTOM,

Miss Lisbeth Nanderweyster was
stately gentlewoman above seventy
years old, very longtavored, and very
straight backed. She put on her rusty
cloak, tied her modest bonnet, and an
nounced to Sylvia, her servant for
half-century, "I'm going to market to
buy provisions for the New-Year's ia
be-"
Sylvia was an aged, toothless mulat-
to, born in New York, and in the Van
derweyster family, but curiously retain
ing the characteristics of her enslaved
race, and with ahectionate impertinence
she replied, sharply, 'Now, Miss Lis,
yer shan't go out, chile, in dis yere
weather; faint fit fur yer, nohow."
But Sylvia's admonitions were as fire.
quent as the kling-kling of the old
church bell hard by, and Miss Lisbeth
had long ago ceased to be conscious of
either; SO she went on, quietly:
"What with illness, and mourning,
and the scattering of our family, I've
not received for ten years, but in COM
ing out old Trinity last Sunday | men
toned to the Stuytevants and the Ten
Brockels and the Trivingstons that |
would certainly be at home this New
Years. Everybody has heard of my
intention by this time, Sylvia. Oh yes,
l must do my part towards keeping up
the good old custom, almost the only
reminder now of New York before it
became an emigrant station and a gamb-
ling den. l shall receive all friends of
the Vanderweyster family" No queen
dowager could have said these words
with a more benignant condescension.
"And, Sylvia" she continued, ''there
must be great many of our friends
left papa and mama had large circle"
"Bress us Miss Lis, Gineral Van
Bruyster and Mister Peter Vanduyck-
inck called dat ere last time yer receiv-
ed but de gineral he's gone stoneblind,
an Mister Peter he's gone clar silly
both wild ole age. Lor' Dress us !"
SAY, but there's Major Spuytenduyvil,
he'll not forget US oh yes, the major
will certainly come as young man he
was always here on New-Year's, and a
very handsome fellow he was. All, we
don't see such men nowadays There S
my granddaughter, Mr.. Evart Wander
weyster, come home from Europe at
last; he has quite fine figure, but not
like the major s-not like the MAJORS.
Why, on Evart's account l wouldn't fail
to receive this year, Sylvia. What would
he think if the Oldest representative OF
the family should refuse hospitality to
him and his young friends on New
Years day. Now there'll be certainly
a hundred of Evart's acquaintance, land
good hundred besides of my own.
Oh, everybody will be rushing here
As mamma used to say, they all appre-
ciate the honor of calling on Vender-
weyster. Let me see, we must have
cold fowls, and potted meats, and sal
ads, plum-cake, wine, punch, coffee,

mumbled the prudent Sylvia.

Humph. Job he'd nothin' to try him:

But it he'd one fault it never stopped till

Why, 'Bijah's invented heaps of 'em, but

Our folks all thought he was dreadful smart
but that was years ago.
He was handsome as any pictur then, and
he had such glib, bright way
l never thought that time would come
when I'd rue my weGdin' day;
But when I've been forced to chop the wood,
and tend to the farm beside,
And look at 'Bijah a-settin' there, I've jest

We lost the hull of turnip crop while he

But l counted it one of my MARCHES when 1t

So he turned it into burglar alarm 1t
