ft) VOL. XX, NO. 53. ASTORIA, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1883. PRICE, FIYE CENTS. SIR 3IOSES MONTEFIORE. A Noted Centenarian. It is inevitable that the first thought of any one who sees or speaks with Sir Moses Montefiore should be the thought of his im mense old age. Even now, though human life seems to be really length eaing, centenarians are rare enough to make them interesting we extend the term, perhaps hardly legitimate', to Sir Moses Montefiore, who is 99 but when a man in a prominent posi tion lives to that age, the thought of what ho has seen and done, of the changes through which the world has passed during his time, becomes overpowering. Sir Moses has seen the great work of his life crowned with success in very niany coun tries, and this thought, no doubt, is that on which he and his Jewish friends will dwell with the greatest satisfaction to-morrow. But outside observers will reflect with almost greater interest on the men that he has seen in this long life of his, on the epochs through which he has passed, and on the contrasts which the world of to-day presents to the world in which Sir Moses Montefiore spent his youth. Born in 1783, he may possibly remember the taking of the Jsastile, and ho will certainly rec ollect the execution of Louis XVI, and the fall of ltobespierre. He can probably recall the sensation caused by each of Nelson's victories, and will recall with accuracy the feel ings awakened in England by the events of the "Pensular War. When the news of Waterloo came to his brother-in-law, Mr. N. llothschild, Montefiore, who was with him in business, probably shared with him the advantages to be gained from the exclusive information. He was past forty when Catholic emancipa tion and the reform bill was carried, and had arrived at full ago when Queen Victoria ascended the throne, let it is since that date that he has done tho greater part of the work by which he is known throughout the world the work of practically helping his suffering brethren wher ever they were to bo found. His journeys to Palestine began in 1827, imd they only ended in 1875, when he was past 90 years of age. He vis ited tho sultan in 1810, tho cfcar in 1816, and Cardinal Antonclli, to try to rescue the boy Mortara, in 185S. No journey has been too long or too difficult, and no work too tedious for him, if help could be gained for those who sorely needed it Nor has his help been confined to thoso of his own race and religion. We tell, this morning, some curious stories of tho aid he has given to persons who had no claim upon him except the claim of distress, imd we quote the letter which he wrote to this journal in I860, and which had so much effect in stimulating public sympathy for the unfortunate christ ian of the Lebanon. The clerical and other speakers in the meeting at Bamsgate yesterday had good reason to speak of his universal be nevolence. Tho Montefiores are, as the name implies.Italian Jews, though there is a difficulty in deciding when and whence they settled about the little town on the eastern slopes of the Apennine, which bears that name. In different countries the Jews have different modes of choosing sur names; in England they are mostly called by Old Testament names, pos sibly somewhat altered Levi, Lewis, Abrahams, Moss; in Germany and some other countries they take the names of towns and call themselves Erlanger, Breslauer, Oppenheim. A fortunate chance gave to the ancest ors of tho venerablo philanthropist the name of tho littlo town near tho Adriatic; but they aro first heard of as settled near Leghorn, where the .Jews number no less than 7000 at the present time. The grandfather of Sir Moses, Moses Vita Montefiore, settled in England 130 years ago as a merchant "trading with Italy. One of his sons married Bachael Mocatta, one of tho family of Spanish Jews, whose name is still so well known in London, and the first child of this marriage was Moses, born at Leghorn in 178i, on tho 24th of October, corre sponding in that year to tho 8th of tho Hebrew month Chesvan, which falls somewhat later in the present year. It is well known that the Jew ish trading community is headed by a kind of close aristocracy of great financiers, who are closely connected with one another by marriage; and of this aristocracy, if such it may be called, the Montefiores aro leading members. Sir Moses is half Monte fiore and half Mocatta; ho married Miss Judith Cohen, whose sister mar ried the founder of the English house of Rothschild. These four names are, with ono or two more, coextensive with the inner circle of English Jews. Many of those who bear one or other of the names have gone much more deeply into finance than Sir Moses, and have consequently left them selves neither tho heart nor the time to do the good that he has done. Ho left the stock exchange early and en tered into other and less exciting kinds of business. He helped, to found the Alliance Insurance office, tho Imperial Continental Gas associa tion and the Provincial bank of Ire land. But, though he did not cease his connection with business, he was never absorbed in it We have already said that his passionate devotion to his race led him to visit Palestine in 1827, through great difficulties more like those which would now attend a journey to Bokhara or Yunnan than those which wo associate with a trip to Jerusalem. But what distinguishes tho work of Sir Moses Montefiore from that of any other philanthropist is the success with which ho has pleaded the cause of the Jews in the quarters to whicl under ordinary circumstances, their cry could not have reached. In 1840 he extracted from tho sultan a firman, which has been of real service, many times over, in tho cause of the Jews of the Turk ish empire. He got something moro than civil speeches from the Em peror Nicholas, and in, 1872, in a second visit to Bussia, he was deeply gratified to notice the improvement in the lot of his Bussian brethren. He penetrated even to Morocco in 1863, and in 1867 to Bucharest, where the Jews are perhaps more hated than in any other city in Europe. Neither danger, nor distance, nor dis couragement has ever prevented him from going on his errands of charity. Sir Moses Montefiore has seen many changes in European society, but none greater than that which has passed since the beginning of this century, over the condition of the Jews. In Bussia and the backwood regions of eastern Europe they aro still, indeed, miserably poor, and are as liable as ever to outbreaks of hatred on the part of the Christian peasantry and of those who wish to turn that hatred to account. Civil ized Germany even is inclined to "boycott'' them; but the very fact is a proof that they have iu the last half century prospered so very much more than their rivals that the jealous hos pitality of the latter must from time to time break out. The difference is that what is now abnormal and ex ceptional was expressed by law fifty years ago. Jewish disabilities, not extending merely to the right of sit ting in parliament, but to half the rights of citizenship, existed even in England, which boasts of being in the forefront of enlightenment, until Sir Moses had himself had ample time to experience them. Now, not only have the Jews got rid of their disa bilities, but their power is very great and far-reachmg. Much of the conti nental press is in their hands. They control tho bourses. National finan cial operations are regarded by them as to a great extent their own affair. Their well known qualities of patience, insight and mutual fidelity, and their habit of thinking nothing beneath the notice of a man of business, havo given them success. What the future of the race may be no man would prophesy; but if their progress is as rapid as it has been during Sir Moses Monlefiore's lifetime, they will iu the next century be an important fact in deed. London Times. The Wrecked Victoria. Further information received at the offico of tho Pacific Coast Steam ship Company is to the effect tnat the Victoria struck a sunken rock off Port Orford at about two o'clock on Wednesday morning. She rapidly filled with water, and it was found necessary to beach her. The passen gers succeeded in getting ashore safe ly, although the sea was breaking over her. A messenger was at onco dispatched toCoos Bay, the nearest telegraph station, and from that point the intelligence was given. Sho had 1,600 tons or coal and a number of passengers for San Francisco. Cap tain Beichraann, who was in com mand, has been in tho employ of the Oregon Bailway and Navigation Com pany and the Pacific Coast Steam ship Company for several years past Tho cause or the disaster is left to conjecture. Tho place sho struck was nearly twenty miles out of her regu lar course, and it is presumed that at the time of the accident sho was making for Port Orford to tscape the heavy weather then prevailing; The Jiernard Castle reports a heavy gale and very heavy seas, in which sho re ceived some rough usage and sus tained moro or less damage about tho decks. Tho Victoria must have been in the same storm, and the indications are that she was seeking shelter, al though it may be that sho was too far in toward shore through a fault in reckoning. The steamer was built of iron, in Newcastle, England, in 1866, and for years ran under the name of Bolivar on the coast of Chile In 1878 she ran ashore on the Central Amer ican coast and was condemned. The hull was bought by GoodaL Perkins & Co. for something like $12,000. They brought her to San Francisco and had her entirely rebuilt The hull was cut in two and sevonly-five feet added to her length, $150,000 being expended upon her. She was then placed under the American flag, christ ened Victoria and went into the coal trade between there and Victoria. It is reported that sho was insured in England for $120,000. Her cargo of coal is valued at something over $7, 500, and is uninsured. It was sold at the mine by John Bosenfield to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and the latter will be the sole losers. The officers of the wrecked steamer are Capt. Beichmau, Chief Officer Humphreys, third mate H. D. Smith and Chief Engineer It. Turner. Deaths on the Idaho. Charles Carlson, a seaman, was lost overboard from tho Idaho on tho night of tho 29th tilt, while the steamer was doubling Cape Flattery. He was on duty as "lookout" in tho bows at tho time, and it is supposed a sudden lurch of the vessel caused him to lose his balance and fall into the water. Deceased was a native of Sweden, aged 24 years, and has an nnclo residing in Santa Clara county, California. Frederick Johnson, a seaman, whilo engaged in discharging freight at Killisnoo, Alaska, met with a fearful accident, resulting in his death thirty-six hours afterward. Amongst the freight was a heavy iron tank consigned to the Northwest Trading: Company, weighing ten tons. In un loading the massive tank Johnoon, to facilitate operations, got inside, and when thus engaged the rope by which tho tank was being lowered parted, causing it to slide aft. John son jumbed from the tank, only to bo caught between it and tho steamer, sustaining injuries which resulted in his death. Use DlmmlltV Cough Balsam. J. M. Yantis, Sweet Springs, Mo., writes: "My mother has had bronchial and pulmonary affection for forty years and in that time has tried almost every thing, but never found anything to give her the relief Dinimiti's Cough Balsam has."
