BARONESS HIRscH DEAD.
Was the Greatest Woman Philan-
thropist in the World.

kNab TIC 0TChtCdt
thrOptst in the World.
Paris, April baroness Hirsch, widow
of the late Baron Hirsch, the Hebrew phi
lanthropist. is dead.
The baroness leaves several million
bounds sterling. chiefly beaueathed to
charities,
Baron Hirsch left an estate OF s25.ooo.-
geo, much of which was bequeathed to
charity and afterward disposed of by the
baroness.
Millions have been spent In colonlzng
large bodies of Russian refugees In the
United States and Argentine Republic
Baroness Hirsch was quite as remarka-
BILE a parsonage as her husband. Worth
many millions in her own right, she gave
as freely of her wealth as of that left by
her husband. She was daughter of the
late Senator Bishofheim of Brussels, head
of the great banking house of Bishofheim
e. Goldschmidt, that financed the Erie
railway reorganization In 1871. The baron
ess as a girl was her fathers secretary
and developed in that capacity the method
and accuracy that characterized her entire
after life.
She married Baron Hirsch when 20 years
old and was a great help to him in all ,his
daring financial undertakings, as well as
in his splendid philanthropic plans,
Highly educated. she wrote and spoke
German, English, French and several other
languages. The Hirsch establishment in
Paris was managed with infinite care, the
baroness personally seeing to every de-
| tail. Not a social duty was ever neg
| lected. She was ever ready to dispense
charity, but always guarded against
wastefulness.
/ A careful estimate shows that the baron
ess spent $l.500,O00 in the city of New
York since her husbands death, three
! years ago, besides the annual income oil
the fund of 81, 600 created by the baron.
