a Brooklyn Hebrew Who Reached
109 Years.
From the New York Herald.
There seoins to be no doubt that a man
who died in Brooklyn on Wednesday wus
really 109 years old. So far as possible, tho
records of his birth have been verified.
This remarkable person was Mr. Hirseh
Harris. lie was known as Rabbi Harris in
the neighborhood of his home, but ho never
was a rabbi, although a devout Hebrew.
Ho died at his home, No. 253 Adams
street, Brooklyn, and around his bedside
stood his venerable wife, Rachel, who had
iust passed her 90th year; his son, Louis,
who is 50, and half a score of grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. The funeral ser
vices were held yesterday afternoon, and
the body of the aged Hebrew was laid at
rest in a‘p lot at Washington cemetery.
Mr. Harris was in good health up to three
veal's ago, when his great ago commenced
to tell on his physical and nervous forces.
Hven since then ho had been a wonderful
specimen of vitality. His form was nearly
bent double from his extreme old age, but
he could walk, and his venerublo figure,
with his long white board, was still a famil
ial- one in tho neighborhood whore he had
lived many years. His mental faculties
wore unimpaired until two or three years
ago.
DIED OF OLD AGE.
His physician, Dr. C. C. Henry, who had
attended Mr. Harris for the past year, says
that death was caused from senility pure and
simple. “I never saw such a man,” ho
said, “he did not die from disease, but from
general decay of the vital forces. He was
tough as a pine knot.”
Hirseh Harris, or Rabbi Hirseh, as ho
was familiarly known, was born in 1778, at
Pyntorkowi, ' a small village of Russian
Poland, near Warsaw. He came of a long
lived and prolific stock. He was one of
twenty-one children and tho youngest of
sixteen brothel's. Early in life he was em
ployed in agricultural pursuits, and in 1805,
at tho ago of twenty-seven years, he was
married.
In 1812, when Napoleon passed through
Poland on his historic march to Moscow, Mr.
Harris and several of his brothers were
forced to join tho Emperor’s forces. At
that time he was 94 years old, and Napo
leon had a way of impressing into his ser
vice all able-bodied men living in tno terri
tories through which he marched.
gis ESCAPE FROM NAPOLEON.
Mr. Harris was on his way home one
evening, riding on horseback, with a spade
on his shoulder, when several French sol
diers rode up and seized him. After a short
tune at soldiering he made his escape, and,
summoning his wife and child from their
cottage, hid them in a neighboring piece of
woods. While thus secreted ho had the
pleasure of seeing the Emperor and his
army pass. He always said that he remem
bereil Napoleon’s features well.
He wandered around the country after
his escape from the army, and in 1815, when
peace was declared, he went into the busi
ness of manufacturing tho liquor known as
kummel.
He amassed a considerable fortune from
his business and retired several years before
he left his native country.
He arrived in America in 1850, being at
that time an old man of 72, according to the
ordinary acceptation of the term. But Mr.
Harris was still hale and hearty and ill fit
ted for an idle life. He soon commenced
business again, and continued it up to a limit
four years ago, when ho became too feeble
to attend to his affairs. He had resided in
Brooklyn for the last twenty-seven years,
and always said that it was the prettiest
place he had ever been in.
He was a man of considerable learning,
an orthodox Hebrew, and was very strict
in his religious observances. It was from
this fact that he was called “the rabbi,”
although he never ofiiciated in that ca
pacity.
Rabbi Hirseh had twenty-three great
grandchildren living.
A picture of Rabbi Hirseh, taken iri 1855,
when he was 77 years old, shows the old
gentleman to look extremely well and
hearty. In His hand is a cane, which at
that time belonged to his great-grandfather,
who died at the age of 111 years. The cane
is still in tile family, and will be kept as an
heirloom.
NOT A TEETOTALER.
The rabbi used snuff all his life and was
quite a smoker. He also used stimulants,
but never to excess Ho took a drink of
bitters before breakfast ©very day.
llis son Louis said that his father while
carrying a pail of water up the stoop three
years ago fell and hurt his head, and he
never fully recovered from this accident.
ili-s. Harris, the widow of the rabbi, who
is lit) years old, lias all her senses, and is
quite spry for a lady of that age. She does
all her own errands’ goes to the store for all
her groceries and helps to clean the house.
Mr. Harris, who was quite in
terested in bis father’s history, verified his
father’s ago by corresponding with friends
and ilifieiajs iu Europe. The archives of the
village of I’yotorkowi were searched a few
years ago, and the history of the rabbi, as
given above, was found to be correct.
A FREAK OF NATURE.
Six Kittens Joined by a Cord, Born In
Frankford.
From the Philadelphia Press.
If Janies Hamilton hod collected dime
Museum admission fees from all the
strangers who have visited his house in the
past two weeks to cxnmino his freaks he

HOLMAN’S VAGARIES.
A Chicago Bookmaker Nearly Para
lyzes the Hoffman House Sports.
From the New York Herald.
A number of truly gorgeous enterprises
were nipped in the bud yesterday at tlie
Coleman House by the appearance of a
policeman, who arrested one of the guests
and took him to Jefferson Market Police
Court. The prisoner was Frank Holman, a
well known sporting man and bookmaker,
of Chicago,who arrived here from that city
on Wednesday and registered at the Cole
man House.
Holman was fin© looking, had a blazing
diamond in his shirt bosom, a limitless
stock of good stories at his tongue’s end and
Elenty of money in his inside pocket, and
efore Wednesday night was over ho had
made the acquaintance of nearly every
sporting man at tho big hotels along upper
Broadway.
On Thursdqv morning he came down
stairs at the Coleman House and dropped
into conversation with the clerk,-to whom
he incidentally mentioned that a few days
before he bad bought a 5-year-old horse
from a farmer in Illinois, which, in a private
trial the next day, had trotted a mile in
2:06%. The clerk was still marvelling at
this great stroke of good luck when Mr.
Holman added that he was going to Boston
next week to take tho managership of a
young pugilist, an “unknown” who on his
native farm had often killed an ox with a
single blow, and whom he was going to
match against Sullivan to fight in Septem
ber for 850,090 a side.
A BIG WINNING.
Mr. Holman disappeared for the remain
der of the day, but came back in the eve
ning and carelessly remarked that he had
won $35,000 at the Long Branch races.
During the evening he told several of his
new acquaintances at the Hoffman House
that he was being backed by a dozen promi
nent politicians and millionaires in a scheme
to buy Union Square from the city and lay
out the finest race track in the world, where
races would be run every day iu the year
for enormous purses, and poo! selling would
bo carried on under anew system that
would insure every one half of his money
back again in any event, with a chance of
winning unlimited thousands. At this be
wildering scheme several of his hearers be
gan to look nervous and remembered that
they had pressing busines elsewhere.
Yesterday morning ho announced to his
fellow guests in the reading room of the
Coleman House that during the night he had
won $1,999 from Mayor Hewitt on a pair of
deuces, and that he was going to Washing
ton in a few days to teach Mrs. Cleveland
how to play baccarat so that she could
“break” the French Minister when next ho
called at the White House.
FOUND TO BE INSANE.
This was more than his hearers could
stand, and one of his friends, Jenner Mc-
Donald, of No. 113 East 120th street, at the
urgent request of the proprietor, culled in a
policeman, who persuaded Holman to go
down to the Jefferson Market Police Court.
When brought before Justice Gorman he
warmly invited his honor to attend the
opening game on a vast galvanized iron
base ball ground which he was going to
build on the top of iron columns running up
from the roofs of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
awl the houses thereunto adjacent. Justine
Gorman gratefully accepted the invita
tion and ordered Holman to be sent to
Bellevue Hospital to be examined as to his
sanity.
Holman thereupon became indignant and
raised such a row that an ambulance was
summoned, and he was hurried over to tho
hospital, where the physician at once pro
nounced him insane. Some of his friends
who know him in Chicago yesterday after
noon had him transferred to Bloomingdale.
Several years ago Holman was confined
for eighteen months in an insane asylum in
Chicago, but was then discharged as cured.
Ho has since proved very successful in bet
ting on sporting events, and it is estimated
t hat ho has 8100,(XXI worth of property, real
and personal, in Chicago.
MARK TWAIN ON THE DOCTOR.
Death of the Original of One of the
“Innocents Abroad.”
A dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa., to the
Boston Herald says; Dr. William M. Gib
son, who died in Jamestown, l’a., a few
days ago, was the original of “The Doctor”
in Mark Twain’s “Innocents Abroad.” Dr.
\ Reeves Jackson, formerly of Strands
burg, Fa., now of Chicago, who was a mem
ber of t he famous excursion party, has been
widely credited with being tho original of
the character.
“I had it from tho lips of Mark Twain
himself,” says a prominent resident of this
city, “that Dr. Gibson v, as ‘The Doctor’ of
the story. I was editing tho Times at
Sharon, "Mercer county, at thetimo. it
was ten years ago. Mark Twain came to
that place to lecture, and he and I became
very well acquainted. Some time after
ward he returned to Sharon and spent sev
eral days with me. 1 gave a dinner in his
honor, and invited u number of prominent
citizens t>. meet him. Supposing, as a mat
ter of course, that the two fellow voyagers
would lie pleased to see one another and re -
count incidents of their trip, 1 invited Dr.
Gibson also, his residence being but a few
miles from Sharon. I told 'I wain that I
had invited tho Doctor, expecting to be re
warded with warm approval from the great,
humorist. On the contrary ho didn’t look
a bit glad, and shaking his head said, in
that m rth-provoking drawl of his:
“ ‘ u el), that’s all right, I suppose, but I
don’t know how Gibson and I will get
along together. We don’t speak.’
“That w.is a wt-bftrk for mo, find tno
only hope l had was that Dr. Gibson would
Ik- moved by tho delicacy of tho situation,
and stay away. But lie didn't. Ho camo
as big as life. He didn’t speak to Twnm,
and Twain didn’t speak to him. Tho con
seouenco was what I had counted oil to bo
one of the most delightful and enjoyable
of occcasions. and one long to lie remem
bered with pleasure by iny follow-citizens
and myself, was stupid beyond description.
The doctor’s presence cost a daintier on tho
whole proceeding, although ho was a com
panionable and desirable person to have in
any gathering. Mark Twain mo/lo no
si leech, and said nothing funny, iwo or
three of inv friends tried to throw a little
spirit into the occasion by neat s|tooelios and
happy allusions, hat it was ol lio use. The
dinner was a failure, and we arose from the
ka#t I did—feeling ax if tho party
hod been a funeral, and that wo wore tho
chief mourners. , ~ , .
“Twain afterward told mo what tho
trouble was between him and the doctor.
A is Mu tod it) ‘lnnocents Abroad, oti ono
occasion during the trip a committee was am
pointod to present an address to -no Lznr of
li u sia Mark Twain wrote the address
and rave it to tho committee to copy. Tho
committee tore it all tn phices with
changes of their own. Subs- quently the
doctor went to Twain and made a modest
* U take that address of yours,’ he
said, ’aiid I’U copy it off. I’il sign uiy
name to it mid you sign yours, and we ll
ignore tho committee und present it out
a.lves.’
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1887.
“The disinterested proposition was not ac
cepted by the humorist, und when he wrote
the book ho gave the doctor away by re
lating tho incident. That made Gibson an
gry, and he never got over it.”
The death of L>r. Gibson brings to mind
the fact that the original of Sir Oracle in
“Innocents Abroad” was then and still is a
resident, of Harrisburg, in tho person of
Hon. Jacob S. Holdman. He was Minister
to Sweden under President Buchanan.
Dr. Gibson left a fortune of $4,000,000.
He had just erected a monument to himself
at a cost of SIOO,OOO.
DELVING AMONG THE RUINS.
Interesting Discoveries Beneath the
Cathedral at St. Augustine.
From the Jacksuni'ille (Fla .) News-Herald.
Workmen engaged in removing the rear
wall of the old cathedral and making ex
cavations preparatory to enlarging and re
storing the building, have recently made
interesting discoveries, not only of graves,
but of the mouldering bones of a number
of bodies buried underneath the church.
A little east of tho church the workmen
unearthed a blue stone slab, which was
found brokeu into throe pieces. The stono
is about four inches in thickness, and con
tains the following inscription, which is re
markably' legible:
Colin Mc-Kekkie, Gent..
Died (ilh of September, 1788.
AEtatis, 34.
The fact of his burial iu tlie church yard
indicates that Mr. McKensio was an impor
tant personage. As the English had posses
sion of Florida between the years 1703-84, it
is supposed that he was an English subject
of distinction.
Directly under the altar in the rear end of
the church a vault was discovered contain
ing the remains of Dr. Camps, as the
records of the church show. Dr. Camps re
ceived the appointment by tho King of
Spain as
BISHOP OF MAJORCA,
an island in the Mediterranean sea: but he
was never confirmed. During tho English
occupation ho was sent to St. Augustine as
apostolic missionary to the Minorcans, who
had removed there from near Mosquito In
let, whither they had been taken by Dr.
Turnbull. The date of his death is unknown,
but it occurred sometime between 1784 and
1800. The records of the church show that
Dr. Camp’s body was removed from its
original place of burial and placed in a
vault under the altar on May 20, 1800.
In another vault in close proximity to
that in which Dr. Camp’s remains lay was
found the hotly of Narcis.se Font, a priest
much beloved by his parishioners, and who
was ro-interred with imposing ceremonies
within the church.
Still another vault was found underneath
where the altar to St. Joseph formerly
stood, on the east side of the cathedral. The
records have no account of the person who
was buried iu this vault.
SOME VALUABLE RECORDS
have been discovered, also giving an almost
complete history of St. Augustine from the
year 1594, or twenty-six years before the
landing of tlie pilgrims up to the “change
of the flags,” when Florida became a terri
tory of the United States.
Some of these documents are worn and
worm-eaten, but many of them can be
easily deciphered, and when published will
furnish the missing links of history which
all accounts heretofore published of the
Ancient <ity have lacked.
The man who said “that all fun is relative”
has never been visited by the bucolic contin
ue nt. There is very little fun in relatives.—
