HEIR TO S12,OOo,ooo.
A San Francisco Saloon Keeper Said |

From the Piftsb,Ir0 Disp0tcb

A San Francisco Saloon Keeper Bald
to be in Great Luck.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-A few days
ago E. G, Bert was making a comfortable
living out of saloon in the outskirts of the
city. To-day he finds that he is heir to an
estate valued at $4,000, coo. Bert told his
story as follows: "My father was French,
his name being Etiene Gdstave Bert. He
emigrated when a young man to PhIla-
delphia, and was known as Ed Bert.
There are three of US in the family, Charles,
Fred and myself. Ny father had an uncle
in France, who was very wealthy land
owner and manufacturer of champagne, OF
whom have often heard him speak, and
whose favorite he was. Being born in
America, however, we boys took little
interest in our great uncle and had almost
forgotten him until the story of his having
left large fortune to which our father and
through him ourselves are direct heirs,
came TO u.s.
"A lawyer named Schick had large claim
against the estate which ne could not COL
lect until it was administered upon. In
order to save himself he instituted a search
for the heirs and traced my father to Pbila-
delphia. Here he found my two brothers,
Fred and Charles, who are now in the the
atrcal business there. He laid the matter
before them and advised them to procure
proofs of their heirship and claim the estate
Fred, upon this, wrote to his son, Eugene F.
bert, who is q lawyer, to get from our
mother, Julia Bert, all the information she
can give. Mother knows more of fathers
French relatives than we do, because he
used TO talk with her about them and es-
pecially about this uncle and think she will
be able to furnish proof that will put us in
possession of our rights"
Etenne Gustave Bert, after living In
Philadelphia for several years, came to
California in 1849 and was we'll known ia
theatrical circles here. He brought out the
| Royal japanese troupe, the first Japanese
| who ever exhibited outside of their native
| country. With these he travelled through
| this country and Europe. In st. Peters
| burg his fame became known to the EN-
| peror Alexander, who sent his private car
| riage for him, and in an interview asked
| for q private performance of the Japs
| for the imperial family. This was given,
| and a purse of 5000 roubles was offered to
| the old gentleman and refused, whereupon
the car presented him with diamond ring.
| His sons have followed their father in the
! theatrical line, and are we'll known over the
coast as managers of leading theatrical
| companies. Fred Bert was for years man
ager of the California Theater aud opera
| house and the Oakland Theater while
| Charles was treasurer of the California
| Theater
Etienne G.. Bert died in this city two
| years since, but his widow is still living
with her relatives here. The estate consists
chiefly of lands in France, Germany and
| England

Was Columbus a Jew ?
From the Jetoish World.

Jews figure prominently in the history of
the discovery Of America. The plans and
calculations for Columbus expedition we're
largely the work Of two Hebrew astrono-
mers and mathematicians. The Jews were
also employed as interpreters by Columbus
and one of them, Luiz de Torres, was the
first European to set foot in the new world.
When Columbus sighted the island of San
Salvador he imagined he was approaching
portion of the East Asiatic coast, and be
sent Torres, who was engaged for his
knowledge of the Arabic. ashore to make
inquiries of the natives 1t was proba bly
this Torres who was the Mad ID JEW to
whom Columbus beuueathed half mark of
silver in bis will. Another curious fact is
that 1t has been curiously suggested-by
Mr.. Delitzch, we believe-that Columbus
himself was a Jew, or of Jewish birth.
The name of Christopher was frequently
adopted by converts, while the surname
Colon belonged to distinguished family of
Jewish scholars. Christopher's father,
Diego, bore originally the Jewish name
Jacob, which sounds surprisingly like
She II Kadosh. Perhaps during the coming
celebrations some Jewish scholars in Italy
viii make inquiry into the validity of this
daring suggestion.
