Never was honesty better policy.
Mayer Anselm died 10 1872 without having the supreme
Satisfaction OF hearing his honesty extoed by Kings ana

their social value dropped the nameo ana adopt

sgnboard of the paterna house. On his death bed their
father had taken solemn oath from all Of them to hold
bis four millions we'll together and they hare faithfully
kept the injunction But the old city of Frankfort clearly
was too narrow realm for tue fruitful sowing of fur NIL
ons and in consequence the five were determined after
while to extend their sphere of operations BY

born 1892 took his residence at Paris Strictly united
the wealth and power Of the five Rothschds was vested in
the eldest born nevertheless tie brewdet Ut the sons Of
Mayer Ansem, and the heir of his genius Nathan, the
third son soon took the reus of government into his own
hands BY bis faith in Wellington and the flesh and mus
&c OF Brush sodery he nearly doubled the fortune Of The
family, ginning more than million sterling by the sole
battle OF Waterloo the of which he carried to Eng
land days two earlier than the mail The weight Of the
solid millions gradually transferred the ascendancy 10 the
family from Germany to England making London the
tropos Ut the reignng dynasty Of Rothschld Like the
Royal families Of Eur'pc the members of the house OF
Rothschld only nternarry with each other James Roth

1t is unnecessary 10 state that though these atrimo
NAL alliances have kept the millions wonderfully together
they have not improved thu of Old Mayer Apselm Of
the Red Shield Already signs Of physical weakness
becoming visible in the great family So at least hint the
Frepch in their meagre notices about the ohschd
Congress at Pris From all that be gathered Of
the wdernesses of canar thin facts and thick felton,
appears that the soveregns of the Stock Exchange in
conference for the double purpose Of centalzng their
money power and widening their matrimonial realm In
other words the five regnng Kings descendants accord
ing to the law Of primogenture Of the five of Mayer
Anseim came 10 the decision TO reduce their number
four by cutting off the Neo?otan branch of Charles Roth
schd while was likewise decided that permission should
be gven to the Youngest members of the family marry
for the benefit Of the beyond tie range first cousin
ship What has led to the exclusion o the Neop0tan line
of Rothschd seems to have been the of
highly bameable beray unheard of in the annals Of
the family. Charles the prodga of MAYER Anse!n,
actually presented 10 the 1885, ten thousand ducats
TO the Orphan Asylum OF st Carlo Naples and the
and heir Of Charles Gusavu has given repeated signs Of
his inclination to follow in the footsteps of his father Such
conduct utterly unbecomng to the policy Of the house OF
Rothschd, could not be allowed to pass unnoced and
accordlngy-we quote the rumors of Paris journalism
the lhehanes of the potan line has been pronounced
However, Baron Gustavns de ROtschld is to retire
into private lfe like the famous Charles with only
cassock his shoulders and PRAYER bpk in his and
but is allowed to take with him small fortune Of 450
100000 francs. or about six millions sterling q mere
crumb from the table Of descendants of the poor Mayer
Anselm who wandered shoeless through the Electorate
the I'd King George the THIRD. 1t certain that no
NANCE Of royalty is equal to the of the house Of
Ro,hschh.
