AUK LKVY is dead!- When at mesvaso passed from the ps of hundreds a week ago yesterday It Is but the truth to say that few deaths have ever occurred among" the buHlness men of Portland that caused more general regret. Mark Levy waa of a type of his own. I knew him but slightly, but I was surprised when 1 beicau to gather facts about him th almost everybody In Portland knew him and esteemed him. Almost every person I Interviewed said "Mark Lovy never said an unkind word about any person." Not alwaya did they say that in those precise words, but In tub stance all s.tld It. Perhaps Kufus R. Pall, who waa for It years Mr. Levy's bookkeeper, knew more about the everyday life of Mr. Levy than any other person In Port land, for he waa his friend, counsellor and adviser. Mr. pall said that during the It years of hla employment he never heard Mr. I-evy utter an unkind word to or about anybody. Sometimes he might get vexed at what he thought waa unfair treatment, but not a harsh word passed his lips. Voluble In praise, usually Jolly with Jest and story, he went lightly and Jokingly about his business when all went well: when a vexing subject arose he closed his lips, grew aa silent as the Sphynx. paced silently up and down the store until he could go calmly back to busineaa. Pwaetaallfy la Marked. In all of his business years In Port land he never discharged a single In dividual, lie chose his helpers with rare Judgment, and onca hired they were ttxturrs until they chose to quit. He never had but the one business, and the only change In that for the 3 years of his career was the removal from the east side of Kront street to the store opposite. In his habits he waa one of the most regular and punctual of men. His departure from his borne In the morning was almost as evenly timed as the striking of a clock. Let us go back to the little boy Levy. He was born January 12, IsZt. In New York City and came to Sacramento. C.il . when an Infant. His parents were poor but were gradually getting a bust- PROMIXrTOREOOl CITY RES- iut:TriMKiAH.tii . THIS CITY. - .v 1! i n i r al.Ls ness foothold when the great flood o ISnl came and wiped out their every earthly possession. Mark was then lad of S years, and knew what It wa for several years to have meatless and almost eatless days. When less than 10 years old he took up his share of the family responsibilities by selling fruit on tha boata crossing and passing In tha river. As Harry Lewis, a boyhood friend, writes, "While we were playing or swimming and having a good time, Mark was carrying his basket selling fruit." lie went to school aa occasion offered at nights. He never got be yond about the fourth grade. He worked at fruit selling until he was 13 and then -be took employment In commission house, where lie remained until he got married. His elder sister had married the late L. Samuel, and she and her husband lived In Portland. Mr. Samuel wrote to Mark that there was no regular commission house here. there being but one house doing a par tlal commission trade, the grocery nouse or Dunbar. So with his wife and his Utile hoard of savings having but little owing to assistance to other members of the family the scant sum of about 100. he came here In October, 15S1 and rented the store which is now tha south room of the Page & Son store. Yes. he waa the pioneer in that business, and the fact that the com mission ousiness or Portland Is con ducted on a high level is largely due to Mark Levy, who was. until his death, th dean of tha Portland commission business. One of the prised letters re ceived by Mrs. Levy since his death expressing their grief at his death, was signed by every commission man on rront street. Coensaaloas Moira Death. "lit was the jolllest man, one of the best companions. 1 ever met.' So spoke A. li. Slelnbach, a friend of over 30 years standing. "He was as true as steel, as good as gold, as loyal as th sun. was about the substance of the remarks of many others. Go down to the Commercial Club to lunch, go to the table where for so many years he took his daily lunch with such boon companions Ed Ehrman, Nathan Strauss, O.arlea Feldenhelmer, S. J. Mayer and others. What grief Is theirs! It will be many moons before there will again be the same Jollity about that board. Oo out to hla old home and ask the youngsters, the tots and kiddies around there If they knew Mark Levy. Many of them, the most of them, will tell you he was one of the finest of all their fine friends. Among his flowers. working with rake or hoe or shovel in his garden, or pottering around. watering the lawn, stabbing a stray pd often there was a little group of kiddles with him. A neighbor liv ing Just across the street says. "It was like a tonic to talk to Mark Levy." And remember that he marked a type. in that he never, never uttered an unkind word about any living indi vidual. Remember that. Had you been out to any of the crucial ball games, or any of the big football games, purine; the last dozen years you would have found Mark Levy there rooting like a confirmed fan. As Ice hockey came Into vogue he tried to get used to that and on the last night of his life he attended a game. He returned from it to drop dead upon the floor. Mark Levy was not a man of great wealth. He perhaps did not covet riches. He lived In fine style. There was nothing quite good enough for his wife and daughter. They entertained good deal, traveled a good deal, vls- a an f ed T Frank Janar. Frank Jaggar. who had been prominent resident of Orego City for a number of years, die In this city Saturday.

Ah, there lies the best of all sides of Mark Levy gave and grave and kept riving-. Not In fabulous amounts, he did not ndow colleges or found schools. His principal monuments are In the hearts of the poor, his greatest mourners are widows and orphans, the helpless, tne hnnelesa and the unfortunate. Oraven on the hearts or many or mese met name of Mark Levy shines like pure gold. And In his deeds of charity he did not often even take his wife Into hla confidence. He did not even let his left hand know what his right hand was doing. He decried all sorts of what might be called publicity harlty. His charitable deeds were for he love of hla feUowmen, not for eelf- glorlflcatlon. In looking over his papers. Mrs. Levy says there are sheaves and bun dles of notes and I. O. U.s that he never tried to collect, no doubt never ex pected to get the most of them when he made the loans. No. he did not have great wealth, great estates of lands or buildings, no piles of stocks and -bonds; but he left behind him greater assets than these a name almost unequaled In our city or state. Mark Levy needs no monument, no marble shaft is necessary to keep his name alive as a citizen of the highest rank and a friend almost beyond com pare. His monument was built little by little during his life and consists of sufficient good deeds to reach unto heaven. John Lundberg. of Worcester, is beginning to think that his birthday is a hoodoo.
