His Fortune Was Heavy Burden to
Baron AlphOnse, French Banker.

His Fortune Was Heavy Burden tn
Baron AIphOnse, French Banker.
The late Baron Alphonse de Roths-
child of Paris head of the French
branch of the famous banking house
and governor Of the Bank of France,
was a man of great culture as well as
worthy representative OF his family
as a financier, says the New York
Times. He was also interested in
sports, particularly racing.
There have been two attacks upon
the French Rothschilds. The first was
in 1913, when the father Of Baron Al
phonse, being besieged by peasant So
cialists, received them and offered to
give his visitors what was due should
he divide his fortune among the PEG.
pie. He calculated that they should re-
ceive francs EACH The peasants left
the old baron in peace.
The second attack was upon Baron
| Alphonse. 1t took a more coWardly
form. In September, 1895, letter was
sent to him containing an explosive
that would go off when the letter was
opened. The baron was at the seaside,
and the letter was opened by clerk,
Polish Jew, M. Jodkowitz. He was
thrown down by the defamation, but not
seriously injured. Curiously enough,
M. Jodkowitz was at the time in charge
Of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild's
charitable disbursements, which bene-
flied the deserving of all faiths.
Notwithstanding all his wealth and
influence, Baron Alphonse was an I'M
happy man. He found pleasure in his
| family life, in art and in music, but the
care Of his great fortune was heavy
burden. A visitor once found the bank
er in such a moody fit that he asked If
he were ill.
ST am not i'll; am crazy" was the
reply
81 will never believe that you are
crazy until / see you throwing your
money out of the window" said the
visitor.
"Ah!" said the baron, exhibiting
threatening letter. II am crazy be-
cause l do not throw my money out of
the window"
The baron had one strong supersti-
ton which he could not overcome, and
that was that the number 10 was I'M
lucky. When he was married he chose
as his residence the hotel in the Rue
! st. George, in Paris, which had been
| the property Of M. Pescatore. The res
idence bore the number 13. When
the baron saw the number he refused
to enter the house until it was removed.
When letters came addressed with the
old number he refused to open them.
and he offered $4,000 francs to the mu-
nicipality, to be distributed among the
poor, if the number were changed. The
offer was accepted, and I'll bis" was
substituted.
The baron lost an eye in 1893 while
on a hunting expedition through the
carelessness Of one of his guests. Be-
ing a strikingly handsome man, he felt
the Disagreement keenly and said he
would rather have had the top Of his
head blown off.

many others have received scars that
