his enormous wealth was won by his
own efforts. 1t was while travelling
through the rich countries bordering on
the Black Sea that he conceived the idea
of the vast enterprise which laid the
foundation for perhaps the greatest in
dividual fortune in Europe. This was
the building of a railroad from Narna.
on the Black Sea. to Buda-PeSth.
1t Is roughly estimated that Baron
Hirsch died worth 100000 900. In 1873
he retired from the business of money
making and married Miss Bischoffs-
helm. the daughter of II of his part
ners. who brought him as a dOwry 100.
00O, 0GJ francs. This money was in
vested apart from the husbands wealth,
Husband and wife gave themselves Up
to the business of distributing their
money among the pool. and vice with
each other in good deeds. He founded
free schools in Egypt. Asiatic Turkey.
and in the countries of Europe, These
charities were chiefly beneficial to the
poor Of the Jewish race. The Hebrews
of Poland and the country of the Dan
ube were his favorites. -Four or five
years ago he gave the Government OF
Austria 1900. 900 francs for the estaC,
liShment of non-Sectarian schools in
that country. About the same time he
dona'ed a similar amount for the edu
cation and Am~ericaniZing of Russian
Jews emigrating to the States.
Baron Hirsch lived like a prince. H.
maintained in h most elegant fashion
magnificent residences in London, Par
is and Berlin. His country estates Were
rich and princely. more especially hi>
largest estate in Moravia. He resided
chiefly in Paris, and in that city he had
a great office filed with recorders
clerks and managers. whose only occu-
patton was that of carrying on the
charitable work of the benefactor. Per.
Sonally the Baron was a very handsome
man. He was of medium height anC
gracefully but compactly built. Gen
tlenesS and intellectually were strong
ly marked in his face. His eyes were
large. dark and soft as a woman'S. His
continental life gave him n thorough

CONFIDENT with the wal upon the big

comes a counter demand for the elm
ination of that curious piece Of head
gear sported by the men. known as the
''plug' hat. Objection is made to this
style of covering upon the general
grounds Of uglineSs. lack of comfort
and inconvenience, and the points
seem to be we'll taken. This tile. which
is constructed on the lines of a tube
closed at one end and fitted with a
