) ( the Jew to the now world was very
early Indeed. He came over with Co-
umhus. Dr. Moses Kaysorllng , the
cnowncd savant of Buda-Pcsth , has
irovcd that the Illustrious Genoese
mvlgator bad among his crew In the
three vessels which sailed from Pales ,
on August 3 , 14)2 ! ) , members of the
race of Abraham. One of these Jews ,
Rodorlgo SancheZr a relative of the
royal treasurer of Arrogonlan Spain ,
accompanied the expedition as vcedor ,
or superintendent , at the special re
quest of Queen Isabella. The ship
physician and surgeon were also Jews.
Sanchez was the second to espy the
land of the now world , Columbus had ,
In fact , studied the astronomical ta
bles of the JewlBh scholar Xacuto , and
landing < lay , Friday , Oct. 12 , 1492 , was
strangely enough the Jewish day
of Great Hosannas. It was like a
prophecy of the now life which the
oppressed Jews wore to find In Amer
ica , and a prediction of the constantly
Increasing factor which they were to
become In the now empire of the west.
The llrst definite Jewish settlement In
America was made in Brazil about
1R48. The first within the United
States took place In 1654 , when twen
ty-seven Jewish emigrants from Bahla ,
South America , arrived In Now Am
sterdam. The Dutch governor , Peter
Stuyvesant , had something of a Jew-
halter in his nature , so that future Im
migrants generally settled In New
port , R. t. Another Jew , Hnym Solo
mon' , loaned over $750,000 to the cause
of the revolution , which was never re
paid. Colonel Isaac Frankfi was an
ald-de-camp t6 Washington.
W. H. Balrtf Promoted.
W. II. Balrd , formerly superinten
dent of the Norfolk sugar factory , has
been promoted to the position of general -
oral manager of superintendents , with
Jurisdiction from California to Now
York. J. W. Rose , formerly of Norfolk -

factory. The managers are not under
Mr. Balrd's supervision , he having
charge of the superintendents only.
HOPED TO FINDJEN KING HERE
Actor from Chicago , Interested In King
and n Play He Wrote , Is Here.
A pathetic case of disappointment ,
resulting from a hope at meeting a
friend In Norfolk once more and find
ing news of that friend's death Instead ,
occurred In this city when C. Reader ,
an actor In the Sanford Dodge , com
pany , who had played bore In the
spring , started out to renew acquaint
ance with Ben K. King , formerly a re
porter on The News , and learned for
the llrst time of Mr. King's demise.
When ho was In Norfolk last spring
Mr. Reader was at once attached to
the newspaper man and a warm friend
ship resulted , During the stay of Mr.
Reader In Norfolk he became very
much Interested In a play that had
been written by Mr. King hut which
had not yet been finished. The actor
saw much of serious merit In the pro
duction and had spoken to Sanford
Dodge in regard to the play , and Mr.
Dodge had planned to hear It read
while In Norfolk today with a view
of staging the piece.
Mr. Reader' was very deeply affected
when ho learned of the death of his
friend. Ho Is still Interested In the
play and will make an effort to get It
produced , providing Mr. King's par
rents are willing.
"It was a play of real merit , " &aj
clared the actor today , "and it would ,
be worth while to develop It. " -i

NAMED FOH GOVERNOR DY NEW
YORK DEMOCRATS.
BUFFALO MEETING IS LIVELY
Nomination Comes After a Long Ses
alon In Which the Nominee Was
Bitterly Attacked Chanter for Lieu
tenant Governor.
Buftalo , Sept. 27. At a scHslon
whlc.li began at 7:45 : last night and
continued until 2.20 this morning me
Democratic state convention nomi
nated a stale ticket with William
Randolph Hearst at the head of it.
Mr. Hearst already was in the field aa
the gubernatorial nominee of the In *
dependence League. The Dcmociutu
nlso took Irom the Independence
League ticket Lewis Stuyvebant Chan-
ler for lieutenant governor and John
8. Whalun for secretary of btalo.
Thu other nominees have no place on
the Independence League ticket.
Mr. Hearst was nominated with 309
votes , only 226 being necessary for a
choice. Congressman William Sulzur
received 124 votes and John A. Dlx
received 17 , making 450 In all.
The nomination of Mr. Hearst was
made In tne face of the bitterest oppo
sition ever waged In a Democratic
convention In this state. Under the
guise of advocating the candidacy of
Sulzer a number of Hearst's party op
ponents took the floor and amid
storms of cheering and hissing , de
nounced the man they know was to
bo the party's candidate In the most
remarkable scries of speeches over
burled at n man to be named for the
highest office at the gift of the con
vention. The advocates of Mr. Hearst
answered these nttaqks , the jnost
effective being Bourke Cockran , 'who
declared ( that while Mr. Hearst 'was
not his personal-choice , the demand
that hcf bo nominated having 'coVne
from every section of the state , 'w"
not to be denied.
HUGHES 'BYACCLAMATION
York 'Republicans Loose Little
, Time In Picking Ticket.
Saratoga , , N. Y. , Sept. 27.Expe
dltion marked the second and final
day of , , , tlio Republican state conven
tion. From early morning , when It
became known that Charles E. Hughea
of. New York would bo nominated for
governor by acclamation , the other
proceedings practically became formal
and were pushed to completion with
the utmost speed. The selection of
the lemalnder of the ticket and the
choice of Timothy L. Woodruff as the
new state chairman were accom-
plishcdi before 'the convention assem
bled.
General Stewart L. Woodford read
the platform and emphaslzou" the car
dinal features of Republicanism and
the features of its party administra
tions , both state and national. Men
tion of President Roosevelt In the res
olutions and in speeches evoked ap
plause. ,
Representative Herbert Parsona
made the speech proposing the re-
nomination of Lieutenant Governor M.
Linn Bruce ; the man he had kept from
the head of the ticket , and whom he
praised highly.
Events leading up to the nomina
tions were interesting and involved
! nhunin'rabl6 conferences. Wlien the
opposition to Hughes found It i&t > os *
slble ; or at least inadvisable , , to nomi
Bruce for governor and 'bdgan ' *
seeking elsewhere for a candidate,7 defeat -
feat for the old-time leaders and Vic
tory1 for the new and almost'unknown"1
'
leaders followed almost Immed'lat.q /
and swiftly. The understood preference
enco of President Roosevelt "for
Hughes and the declaration of Gov
ernor Hlgglns that he was not oppos
ing that preferred candidate , contrib
uted materially to the result , but all
this would have been , unavailing had
It not been ( - the decided stand
which Mr. Parsons maintained frohi
the time he arrived in Saratoga until
the opposition to his candidate crum
bled to dust.
