The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1899-03-24

BARON DE REUTER-, founder of the great news
agency, died at Nice on the 25th February. The
great work of his life was the establishment of a
system for the collection and transmission of news
which brought all the world into close touch and
communication. Born in Cassel, Hesse-Cassel, he
was the descendent of a verv old Jewish family. His
grandfather Loeb Witzenhausen, enjoyed a great
reputation and was highly respected in Hesse-Cassel
on account of his great learning and his great pres
tige with the Government. He was the judicial
advisor of the Jewish community of Witzenhausen,
where he resided. He had three SONS and one
daughter. One of his sons, Samuel, was the father
of the late Baron de Reuter-. His mother, Betty, nee
Saunders of Cassel, died in Halberstadt in 1858, at
the age Of eighty-seven. She had resided with her
eldest son, the late Rabbi Gerson J%osaphat, a widely
known Talmudist and great scholar. The Baron's
flial attachment to his mother is one of the MANY
excellent traits of his character. There were many
very gifted and learned men in the Baron's family,
but the Baron himself was undoubtedly the most
gifted and renowned. He was married in Berlin to
Clementine Magnus, his surviving widow, a niece of
Town Councillor Magnus, by whom he had three
sons and four daughters, two of former and one
daughter, the Countess Steenbock, surviving him.
His eldest son, Baron Herbert de Reuter-, is the
managing director Of the agency, having assumed
that office on his fathers retirement from the post.

THAT PEsAcH begins this Saturday night is a fact
of which all our readers are probably aware. To
those whom its celebration is unknown we extend
our sympathy, and assure them that the traditional
observance Of Passover is far from being a hardship,
comprising as it does one of the most pleasant as
well as important events of the Jewish year.
Failing, as the first day does, on Sunday, full syn
agogues and large congregations will be the rule,
and from all sides will be heard the complaint of
ShuleS being too small.
To our readers, great and small, may the festival
prove in reality yonim toy.

SOME OF our people who always see race prejudice
in the defeat of a Jewish candidate for office would
have been sadly nonplussed at the result of an cleo
ton in the parliamentary division of Hythe, England,
some days ago. Sir E.. A. Sassoon, Conservative, de-
feated Sir Israel Hart, Liberal, by 527 votes. The
trouble was both of these gentlemen are Jews, and
those who seem to think that the Jew who runs for
office must be elected, nolens volens, would have
been outraged at the idea of an election wherein a
Jew was compelled to be beaten, no matter which
way it went.

KILLED HIS BROTHER.

Evanston-The particulars Of killing
at Fort Bridger, which occurred at an
early hour on last Saturday morning
have just been learned in this city.

killed by his brother, Sam Rider, the
latter aged II.
The boys had been out attending a
dance at the schoolhouse and had been
drinking liquor. They started for home
at about o'clock in tho morning, and
having a slight quarrel, the elder boy,
in spirit OF bravado, being badly un-
der the influence of liquor, drew a re-
volver and shot his younger brother, the
bullet passing through the bowels.
Coroner Cunnipgton went out there and
held an inquest. The hoy Sam was ar
rested and brought in here this morning
and placed in the county Jail to await
trial for murder.
The two boys lived with their mother,
who is widow, on small ranch on the
Bridger bench, near the old fort. Their
father was accidentally drowned in
Blacks fork several years ago, and the

son that 1T will be very popular, not
only with the people who reside in che
country, but with those who live in

their customers in the country, and
will enable the press to furnish their

edcial, as 1t will place the residents on
an equal footing with the residents of
cities so far as getting the daily news
as it comes from the press.
Appropriations to the amount of
100000 were provided for the ensuing
year and the system is being tried in
several states. The western Lead
quarters are located at Indianapolis,
and the, and the system will be intro
duced into that state. The expense
will be very heavy for this service, and
is well to remember ,nat all of it
