Trials of Persian Hebrew Seeking
for His Brother.
From the Nev York World.

From the Net1 York World.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-On the steamer
Belgic, which sailed on Tuesday last for
Hong Kong, was paralyzed, discrepit and
emaciated man whose name is Chaskel
Halevy. He is native of Bagdad, Persia,
and is about SO years old, but, through ILL
LESS, privation, ard ill-usage, he might pass
anywhere for 20. He Knows only the
Persian Hebrew language. In his wallet
the man clutched purse containing $40 OF
American money, with a steerage passage
ticket to Hong Kong. In the inner pocket
were letters signed by Rabbi Aaron Mess
ing of the congregation Beth Israel of this
city, open Y addressed to all benevolent
Hebrews between San Francisco and
Persian lands, and vouchsafing the bearer
to be worthy object for Charity.
Halevy has queer history. About two
years ago, in Bagdad. he was stricken with
paralysis, and then decided to go to Bonn
bay, where lived his brother who had
amassed a fortune. He Travelled on crutches,
living on charity, but in Bombay he was
told his brother had gone to Hong Kong,
where he learned that he had settled in Yo-
kohama. Thither be went, only to find his
brother ruined, and as poor as he. He then
decided to return to Bagdad by way of San
Francisco, where he arrived in the middle
of last August. He made himself known
to some XII d-hearted Hebrew VS. who aided
him, and were much alarmed when, about
five weeks ago, he disappeared. Rabbi
Messing interested himself in the case, and
found he had been arrested, policeman be-
lieving him to be drunk. Mischievous BOYS
had stolen his clutches, leaving him help
less. When the policeman approached him,
Halevy, as is the custom in Persia with
mendica1ts soliciting charity, tire him.
self forward to kiss the officers hand or
feet. He seized the policeman's hand, and
the officer, thinking he intended to bite
him, struck him several times with his CT b.
He was sent to the amshouse and was
then taken before the insanity commits
sioners and was adjudged lunatic At the
insane asylum his beard was shaved off,
which is a severe modification to Persian
Hebrew. So much did he feel his shame
that he tried to starve himself to death, and
was strapped down and m Tx and bread was
forced down his throat. Whenever any of
the attendants approached him he would
attempt to kiss their hands or feet and they,
as was the case with the policeman, feared
he was about to attack them and beat him
numerically. When found by Rabbi Mes
sing he was in a filthy cell In the asylum
and his body was mass of bruises aud
Commissions. The rabbi secured his release
and soon secured enough money to send the
poor fellow on his way to home.

TRIBUTES TO GEN. LEE.
The Sentiments of Eminent Men To
ward an Illustrious Soldier.

The Sentiments of Eminent Men To-
ward an Illustrious Soldier.
RICHMOND, Jan. 20.-The Richmond
State sent requests to number of prom
inent men all over the country for some
sentiment appropriate to Lees birthday,
which it publishes this afternoon. Among
those who responded are the following:
Gen. Schofield says: Il will say that it
was tae well-known character of the
southern soldiers, of which that of Gen.
Robert E. Lee was the highest type, which
made it possible for the union army to re-
gard the confederates not as rebels, to be
either punished or pardoned, but as hon
orable antagonists, worthy to become
trusted friends when they had laid down
their arms. Thus tuis high character be-
came of inestimabls value to the southern
people, and hence to the whole country"
Admiral Porter writes: mo man should
hesitate to bear testimony to the reputation
of Gen. Robert E. Lee as one of the great
est soldiers of the civil war But for his
generalship the southern confederacy would
no doubt have sooner broken up, and he
kept his army together under circumstances
that would have appalled, almost any other
leader. Gen. Lee accepted the situation
after Appomattox in the true spirit which
characterized all his actions, and i feel sure
that when he died he had the respect of
every northern soldier and sailor, to say
nothing of the thousands of citizens who
admired his private character
Gov. Campbell of Ohio SAYS Gas a
northern man and member of that wing
of the Democratic party which readily con-
coded anything to prevent war, yet cheer
fully risked everything to preserve the
union after war had come, pay my modest
tribute to Robert E. Lee, the christian gen
tleman, the fearless soldier, the upright
citizen, the model husband, son and father"
Cardinal Gibbons says: "Gen. Lee was
hero of whom e whole nation is proud"
Charles A. Dana says: Robert f.. Lee
was man of ideal personal character. He
was always gentleman, always sincere,
always true, always considerable of others
His moral elevate IN was especially manifest
in the readiness and calmness with which he
bore disaster. Defeat never shook his edui-
librlum. Misfortune was never followed by
any relaxation of his principles. His intel
lectual resources were prompt, broad, COM
prehensive, admirable. In his dignity there
was no affectation, IN his self-respect no
petty egotism, in his Judgment no unjust
depreciation Of others He was great ia the
noblest qualities Of human nature"

Phthisis a Persistent Foe.
From the London Lancet.

From report by DIR. l.. Schroeder on the
distribution of phthisis in Switzerland, it
would seem that The inhabitants even of
high attitudes are by no means so free from
phthisis rs we are perhaps want to suppose.
Tne tables Of deaths for the eleven years
1S16-S6 show that phthisis is endemic in
every part of wiUzarland, not a single dis
trict being free from it. On the whole, the
deaths from this cause are fewer in the high
than In the low lying districts; but it can
not be said that the mortality from this
cause is lnversely proportionats to the alti-
tude. Wherever there is Ian ge industrial
population the phthisis mortality is con-
siderable. Industrial populations always
suffer much more than agricultural popula-
tons whore the altitude is the same.

PLAYING AT BARN PARTY"
A recent fad with some of the owners of
these mansions of the brute, - who happen
to be society leaders. is to so construct and
maintain the buildings that they may be
available occasionally for so-called barn
party" At such times, before the invasion
Of the ladies', heavy Turkish rugs are hung
upon the walls, and flowers and evergreens
literally used in decoration; while the car
riages are oanished from the polished floor
to make way for the dancers-an orchestra
being placed in one corner.
All this forms a picturesque scene, and is
highly enjoyed because of its novelty and
strong contrast to the ordinary bali room
but whether the genuine rustic would
recognize in it a barn party seems doubt
full. Society likes to play at being simple,
as a child likes to play at being in school.
The interest which centers about these
stables of men who cannot count their
millions upon their fingers. and the perfec
ton of detail observable in them, are
justifiable when it is remembered that each
shelters horses whoe purchase money
represents a comfortable fortune. As horse
flesh is perishahle merchandise there is no
reason why the owner should not be as

as about any other investment representing

BUSINESS VS.. SENTIMENT
This is business But the mass of hui
manity is ruled by sentiment, and sentiment
says to the day Iaborer that it is a trifle
queer that he should toll twelve hours a day
to keep wife and child a squalid tene-
ment. with prospect of Bellevue hospital
in the end, while the dumb brute lives in
luxury, with a skillful physician within
call. But doubtless the car horse thinks
the same, and with mora reason.

OTHER VANDERBILT STABLES.

OF all the handsome private stables in
town, probably the most snowy is that of
Cornelius Vanderbilt, present head of the
famous family of millionaires. This stands
in East Fifty-eighth street, just out of Mad
lSon avenue. 1t is a costly and substantial
structure, with a front of red brick, terra
Gotta and gray stone 50 combined as to
have most pleasing effect. 1t was de
signed by one of the leading architects of
the city, and the most striking feature of
the front are the immense dogs heads in
terra Gotta, designed and executed expressly
for their present position.
All the appointments are, of course, equal
in elegance to those of the older stable, and
the details are decidedly more gorgeous.
The coach room occupies the front of the
building, with the stable proper in the rear.
The stables are all lighted by skylights of
colored glass, which throw rich and subdued
tlnts upon every side, and are literally sup
piled with every convenience and comfort
which the ingenuity of man has thus far
suggested for the blue-blooded horse.
The second floor is given over to apart
ments for the men, which are all hand
somely furnished
third Vanderbilt stable is located on
Fifty-tnird street, near Seventh avenue.
and is the property of William K.
While not IN any way copy of either of
the others, its interior is equally elaborate.
though less snowy.
OIe of the latest and most elegantly fitted
OF the millionaires' stables is that of Frank
Work, on West Fifty-sixth street, near
Seventh avenue, the well-known amateur
of fast horse flesh, and William Rockefeller
has also spent small fortune on the home of
his trotters and carriage horses; but none
have yet surpassed the Vanderbilt estab-
lishments. the aim Of the local millionaire
of to-day is to possess a stable which will

The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1890-07-16

WASHINGTON CITY, July 15-senator Power
this morning presented mammoth petition
from fifty -one towns in Montana. signed by 2I3o
citizens asking for legislation 10 preserve to the
people of the state the mineral lands in II.
and to prevent the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company from acquiring the lands to
which 1t is not clearly entitled
under its charter. The petitioners allege that
the Northern Pacific is claiming nearly all the
odd sections OF mineral lands and has caused
them TO be certified to. This certiication is
based on plats made By deputy surveyors show
ing them 20 be non-nineral lands
which, the petition says. are erroneous
statements. Under the decisions OF the courts
there Is little hope OF correcting the existing
errors. Millions of dollars are now being in
vested in developing these lands, the benefits Of
which the company is not entitled to. and the
petition says that unless relief measure is
passed the title to nearly one-haf of the mineral
land of the state viii go to the company.
