Chicago, July I7.-Dr. Rudolph
Mann, OF this city, tonight placed
~ authoritative seal upon the
story that Baron Oskar R~othschild
youngest son OF Baron Alber,
Rothschild OF Vienna, had killed
himself because OF his family's
opposition to his marriage with
Olga Mann the physicians young
and beautiful daughter.
The doctor told OF his daughters
meeting with the baron when he
arrived in Chicago with a party oil
friends on their way to Europe
from the orient six weeks ago.
Thew were together much OF the
time that the young man was in
Chicago, he said.
Not more than a week after
meeting Miss Mann, the doctor
said, R~othschild proposed mar
riage. lie was accepted and left
soon after for Vienna with the
promise that Miss Mann and hel
mother would follow. He expect.
ed that his father would not con.

In an indian blanket. His ambition
was to be president Of the United
States, but the nearest he came TO
that honor was his nomination by the
Democrats Of Jew Hampshire in 1854
for the election Of 1856.
In 1857, while in the senate, he was
a candidate for governor Of Texas
but was defeated. In 1859 he was

that have been constant buyers OF

cheap money. These investments
were natural inview OF the tact
that the investment return on the
securities bought was much above
the return afforded by the money
market, but with the appreciation
in the value OF these securities IL
was natural Tor the holders to take
a position oil their profits and this
they have done very generally.
With the country As a whole less
prosperous and the potential de-
mand less oil a factor, the liquida-
ton OF these holdings would have
upset prices completely. But the
market has stood the ordeal well
and the absorption has been ac-
complished without any very seri-

because the home markets bid a
