Gossip About the millionaire Dentist Of
Paris.

l1os8ip About the millionaire UeaGane oA
Paris.
So Charles Howard, the millionaire
of Vermont is to leave 81, 600, 900 to his
niece, Mrs. Evans, the wife of the rich
Partisan dentist. Truly the Bible say
ing holds good, "to him that hath shall
it be given"
Evans is already several times Il mil
lionaire, and this will be a pretty addl-
ton to his fortune, which is increasing
at the rate of hundreds of thousands
yearly. 1t is generally supposed that
he made the most of his fortune filling
teeth. But this is q mistake, as the fol-
lowing talk with one of the Oldest den
lists in the United States, a man who
was years ago connected with n of the
imperial courts of Europe. will show:
"Dr. Evans" said the gentleman,
was born in Lancaster county, Penn,
and he started life as a jewelers. appren-
tice in Lancaster, the SAM town in
which Buchanan began life as a young
lawyer. After learning the lewelry
trade he went to Philadelphia and there
in some way got into dentistry. Before
he knew much about it he took a notion
to go to Europe, and got letters from
the College of Dentistry at Baltimore to
Brewster, who wa then the leading
American dentist in Paris. Evans was q
money making fellow and very plausi
BILE. When he called on Brewster,
Brewster saw he was bound to make his
way anyhow, and fearing if he did not
employ him Evans wouldhurt his trade,
he entered into a partnership with him,
The conditions of the contract'were that
Evans should work for Brewster three
years at q nominal salary, and at the
close of that time Brewster should go
out of the practice and leave it to Evans,
pnd he was bound thereafter not to
Aractice within three leagues of Paris.
afterwards he found that Evans was
aorklng entirely for himself and not at
all for him. He would spend hours on
a filling, making it shine and finishing
it up beautifully at the expence of the
Office. Then Brewster tried to break
the contract, Evans fought him in the
courts and beat HIM. And Brewster
was thus crowded out of Paris.
"When did Evans become Court den
| tist?"
II don't know the time. He says, I
understand, that he was filling Euge-
MES teeth when Louis Napoleon came
to his office for some dental work, and
that here the two met, and from that
meeting afterward sprang their mar
rlage. Napoleon owed much to Evans
IN many ways. You know he saved the
lie OF Eugene Il night as she left the
Grand Opera House, and an attempt
was made to assassinate Napoleon by
throwing hand-grenades. He afterward
aided Eugene III escaping to England
and went with her in 1870. At this
time everyone else had deserted the En-
press, n she tiedto Dr.. Evans house.

and Eugene, dressed in Mrs. Evans
clothing, was passed off by Evans as his
wife, and driven in his own carriage to
the Norman coast. Thence they got q
boat to England.

how he has made the mosto OF his money
When Napoleon was President of tho
Republic he was quite poor. He died
very wealthy, and much OF his money
vas made through Evans. Napoleon
knew what action was going to be taken
on public matters, and he also knew
how this would affect stocks, If he
could use his information in buying and
selling he could make large suns easily.
But it would not do for Napoleon to be
connected with a broker. There must
be some trusty go-between. added to n

authority, was the go-between. and

He had access to Napoleon at all hours,
and he was the only one who could take
