She WILL GIVE MILLIONS
The Donation of Baroness de Hirsch
to American Charity.
Widow of the Famous Jewish Phi
lanthropist, Ba ron Hirsch, Sur
passes Him In Generosity.

The Baroness De Hirsch, widow OF the
famous Jewish philanthropist, is about To
augment the sum donated to American
charities by her late husband and known as
the Baron De Hirsch fund, by the princeIy
gift of 81 100000.
From excellent authority it is learned
that Oscar l.. Strauss, minister to ur-
key, and one of the trustees OF the Baron
lie Hirsch fund, brought with him on bis
return from Europe last SatuI day, positive
assurances from the baroness of her de-
sire TO devote this sum for distribution to
various benevolent enterprises in this
country Mr.. Strauss was probably the
closest American friend OF the late
baron, and was. there fore, honoTed with
this confidence
OF this great sum il is reported that
81 ,00u, 200 is to be given TO the alleviation
of distress in entirely new charitable chan
ncls, which, those conversant with the mat
ter expect, viii create a great sensation
when the details become known ny their
originality and scope. But the precise ma
turc of the beneficence is kept closely
guarded secret for the pr esent.
Baron De Hirsch, it will be remembered,
died suddenly at his estate at Presbsurg,
Hungary, on April 20, of last year. leay-
ing to his widow fortune which, ii | 5 be-
lieved, will amount to not less than $780,
O0O, 900 after his affairs have all been
settled.
His Greatestsngle charitable project was
established six years ago in the Jewish
Colonization Association. the purpose of
which was to found colonies of Jews in
North and South America for the pursuit
of agriculture and commerce. To this he
gave $10,000,00O. In 1892 he gave So,
500 900 for the benefit of Russian Jew i'm
migrants to the United States, to be used
for their assistance, education, Ameri-
Canization and support after landing and
many schools and settlements have been
established through the Baron de Hirsch
fund.
The Baroness De Hirsch is said to be al
most as remarkable n woman as her hus-
band was a man. She, too, has devo ted the
greater part of her life to- charitable work
and once wrote in a letter to a friend: 1T
is a great and terrible responsibility, this
possession of wealth, and the proper distri-
button Of it."
An adopted son of this famous couple,
Arnold de Forest, who is reputed to be
worth $2S, 900 900 in his own right, was
uaturalzed four months ago, and settled
in New Orleans, having come to this oom-
try to escape military service, which has
killed more than one wealthy young man
through the desire of the Officers to show
them no favors and thereby arouse jealousy
among the rest Of the rank and file.

from which aiIment Mr.. ROose had been a
sufferer for some time past
During the past winter he has not been
actively engaged in business pursuits, but
has been more or less under the care OF a
physician. of late, however, he had been
feeling better than usual, and had at no
time been confined to his bed OF the house.
Yesterday morning, about 10 O'Clock,
after he had breakfasted, he retired TO
his library and lay down upon the lounge
to take a rap. His son noticed that he lay
very quiet, but thought that his father
was sleeping, and though he looked at
him several times. made no effort TO rouse
him
A few moments after he had left the
house Mrs. ROCse returned from market,
and upon going to her husbands side

and a native of Baltimore, but came TO
Washington about thirty-five years ago, and
opened business as a tObaCC0nisJ on small
scale He first had a cigar stand opposite
Willard ; Hotel, and later became proprietor
OF the one in the hotel. Gradually his In
terests. grew until he controlled al Of the
stands in the principal hotels and several
others besides.
An especially pathetic incident in Mr..
Roose's career is the fact that his sister
when a small child went 70 live with Mrs
Surratt after the death of their parents
When Young woman she became engaged
to be married 10 John Surratt, but after
the assassination of President Lincoln and
the hanging of Mrs Surratt the young
