THE ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY
Of Moses MOntefiOre Celebrated To-
Day in Europe, America and
ST. Paul.

The one hundredth birthday of Sir Moses
Montefore will be celebrated to-day in all the
cities and important towns in this country
and in Europe. This distinguished man
was born in Leghorn, Italy, Oct. "a, 1884,
the first born son Of Joseph Elias Montefore
and his wife Rachel Mocatta, and his native
city has made special preparations for the
celebration of his centenary, and an album
containing addresses voted by nearly all the
towns in Italy, is to be presented to him to-
day, and at Rome rabbinical seminary bear
ing his name, will be founded. The Monte
flores are one of the oldest and most honor
able families in Italy. Sir Moses was brought
up and educated in London, and after careful
commercial training was admitted to mem
bership in the stock exchange.
The successive birthdays of Sir Moses have
been celebrated in London and elsewhere,
and the occasion in 1873 was specially
marked by his receipt of 'the freedom of the
city of London, with a valuable present, in
token of his universal benevolence, which
has been confined to no class or creed, but
has been as unbounded as it has been con-
slant.
Sir Moses is to-day in reasonably good
health, though somewhat weakened by almost
the only severe sickness of his life, from
which he happily recovered last spring. His
mental powers are unimpaired, and he daily
devotes himself to the vast business affairs
compelled by his enormous inherited and ac-
cumulated wealth. His own confidence in
his physical powers and endurance is anus
ingly illustrated in the round-going para
graph about his just renewing the expiring
engagement Of his private secretary ''for
three years more.''
Thus this marvellously preserved man has
filed out the century Of a nobly, lived and
richly rounded life.
The event will be celebrated in st. Paul by
divine service in honor of the great
philanthropist at the Temple, on Tenth
street. at 80 this evening, Rev. DR.. Wechsler
delivering an Grafton in English. This SER
vice, which is open to all, will be in the fol-
lowing order:
Offering prayer. The 100 psalm.
Friday evening service as usual.
Offering prayer, as used in all the sypa-
gogues of England, France and the temples
of America.
Psalm 10.
English grafton by Rev. DIR. Wechsler.
Hymn, extra adapted for the occasion.
0lenu.
Closing hymn.
After this service, at p IN. banquet
takes place at the Breevort, for which about
one hundred plates will be laid.

GOSPEL UNION TEMPERANCE.
Possibility OF Another Series of Meet
ings by Francis Murphy.

The regular weekly meeting of the Gospel
Union Temperance society was, held last
evening in the parlors of the Jackson Street
NJ. E. church. In the absence of Mr.. Bris-
bin, Mrs. Farwell was called to the chair and
opened the meeting with beautiful, simple,
and yet eloquent prayer. Before pro-
ceeding to the regular business
Mr.. Brisbin entered and relieved Mrs. Jewell.
Mr.. Warehouse, for the committee on
rooms and finances, reported. He stated
that the committee had looked at eligible
rooms at Captain Barney's Commercial no.
tel where there was one fit for the purposes
of the society, 100 feet by 25, for which Mr..
Barney asked $50 per month, which he
would reduce by subscribing So per month
to the society. Another and better place
was in the new block, corner of Cedar and
Seventh streets twenty feet front
and ninety feet deep with a fine
basement, which Messrs. Greve g. Oppenheim
were willing TO lease till May l at 500 per
month, and would subscribe S25 per month
to thu society, virtually reducing the rent to
$75 per month.
After considerable conversation it was
agreed, on the motion of Mrs. Farwell, to Sc
cure the Greve block rooms. Plans were
then talked over for opening an attractive
and comfortable coffee house in connection
with the Gospel union rooms.
The president urged the necessity of get
ting additional members to the society.
Mrs. Farwell was very sanguine
of success, and instanced the
Murphy experiment, showing
how well financially they came out, expend-
n SQ50 and not owing DenOV
The secretary reported that he had had an
interview with Mr.. Murphy aud consulted
him as to the best means of Strengthening
the society and Mr.. Murphy was of the opin
ion that they could not do better than have
him back again for week. If the society
would only advertise him well he would, the
secretary said, fill any large bill they might
procure.
After considerable debate it was resolved
to engage Mr.. Murphy for week, winding
up with one night at the Opera house at
twenty-five cents admission, it being in
timated that Commodore Davidson would
generously give the house free
of charge. The secretary was empowered to
correspond with Mr.. Murphy as to date.
The question of holding the Murphy meet
ings in a church was next entered into by
several of the members, among whom the
president expressing themselves Of the opin-
ion that hall would be preferable if a suit
able one could be obtained, but as the i'm
mediate object in view seemed to be more to
add to their membership the names of peo-
pie who would subscribe to the funds and
strengthen their meaus, at first the opinion
prevailed that a church was the best place
for the object. After being established in
their own rooms, the society could continue
the work more effectively.
After empowering the committee on rooms
to make the final arrangements for the rooms
in the Greve block, and the president and
secretary to to sign lease and some other
minor business the meeting adjourned.
