One Family with 800 Million Sterling.
The death of Baron Hirach, followed so closely by that of Gol. North, has brought into prominence the question of large fortunes. Over here (says Dalziel's Paris correspondent) it has served as a theme to the anti-Semitists for a vigorous renewal of the campaign against the Jews, and clamour? have been made lor the confiscation of the enormous fortunes held by many French Jews. Naturally, the Rothschilds have come in tor the greater portion of the abuse, and every effort has been made to demonstrate the questionable manner with which their wealth has been obtained. Many figures have also been quoted with a view to showing the probable amount of the fortune of the great banking house. References to the probate court have established the faot that the Rothsohilds of Paris are now worth some 5 milliards of francs, or about £200,---000,000. When it is reckoned that, without doubt, the Rothschilds of Vienna, Frankfort, and Naples are equftUy rioh, we find the incredible Slim of £800,000,000 held by what is practically one family, not to speak of the London Rothschilds.
