The Rothschild Hospital IN Paris
The Rothschild Hospital and Home

years ago by Baron and Baroness
James de Rothschild, this institution
has become the hospital. par ercel-

large it in order to assure the efficient

sented site 5000 metres in area; an
other site of 1900 metres contiguous
to the former, has just been pur-
chased. The cooperation of Jewish
philanthropists has in addition been
assured for the construction of the
new building. The medical service is
carried on by twelve doctors or sur
geons, under the direction of DR.. Leon
Zadoc Kahn, son of the lamented
grand rabbi of France. The number
of in-patients in 1906 was 1,574, of
whom fifty per cent. were of French

Miles an Hour.
Pittsburg.-The Pennsylvania Off
Gals in Pittsburg made an appeal to
the county authorities in running
down the band of train wreckers who
derailed the Keystone Express near
Turtle Creek. Rewards aggregating
$500 have been offered by the COM
pany for the arrest of the wreckers.
The place where the wreck occurred
is within the confines of Allegheny
County, and County Detective George
Waggoner at once put four men on
The case.
At the same time an appeal was
made to the Police Department of
Pittsburg asking that detectives be
put at work in the city, where, it is
believed, the wreckers are now in
hiding.
The railroad officials believe this
wreck and that of the Chicago Linn
tied were the work of employees dis
charged some time ago, and who were
known to have made threats against
The company.
Train No. 90 of The Pennsylvania,
known as the Keystone Express, east
bound, was derailed near Wilmerd-
ing, Pa, fourteen miles east of this
city. The engine, two mail cars, and
combination baggage and smoker
left the tracks, but no one was hurt
The train was derailed by wreck
ers, and it is believed that the same
persons who wrecked the Chicago
Limited at Stewart are responsible
for this work.
The Pennsylvania officials an
nounced that the company will pay
reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the persons guilty of
wrecking the Keystone Express and
$500 for the arrest and conviction
of the persons responsible for the de-
railing of the Chicago Limited In
addition, the company offers $500
for information leading to the arrest
of the guilty person or persons.
The same plan was carried out and
only the slow speed of the train,
thirty miles an hour, saved it from
turning over and diving over a steep
bank. The work of the wreckers was
thorough, for on both the east-bound
and west-bound tracks one rail joint
was displaced. The displacements
were only few rods apart
Following the derailment the pas
sengers rushed out in their night
clothes. When they discovered that
there was no immediate danger they
returned to the cars. A hasty exam
ination disclosed the fact that the
crime had been committed by men so
familiar with the signal mechanism
that, while the rails had been discon-
nacted fine SIGNALS continued to indi-
cate safe. The outside rail held
against the grinding of the heavy
train and prevented the whole train
from plunging over a forty-foot en-
bankment into the river
Near by, on the tracks, were found
a track wrench and pair of gloves,
while in the river below were a crow
bar, nuts, bolts and fish-plates.

The New French skirts.

There is a rumor in the world of
fashion that skirts are to be narrow
and skinny. The latest French skirt
is cut with a narrow front seam, and
this extends above the waist, where
it is closely fitted to the figure, the
side seams being similarly shaped
and fitted. The back has a pleat,
which also defines the waist. This
corselet style of skirt is most becom-
ing to tall, slim women. AS it is cut
to give an impression of narrowness,
it is seldom lined, and very little I'M
derclothing is worn.

at one time partner of Alexander
Mitchell and heavily interested in
Chicago real estate. MI Smith came
into this fortune in 1899.
