Artist Boulanger's Strange Death

Paris Letter in the New Orleans Picayttne.
A great painter, Gustave Boulanger, died
suddenly last Saturday, and we gave him
funeral at the Trinity church on Monday.
/ called at his studio shortly before his
death, and he was very gay as he stood be-
fore his easel, palette in hand, painting the
sketch of an Arab woman carrying richly
embroidered velvet saddle. The next even
ing he and NJ. Marcy. another painter,
went together to Charles Carriers house to
dinner. In the Rue Pigalle they passed the
house where Eugene Scribe lived, and Mar
rey spoke of the sudden death of that dis
tinguished dramatist. Scribe was riding in
a carriage, and he died SO suddenly that he
could not lift his hand to the check cord.
which communicated with tho coachman.
THAT man." said Boulanger, had luck
all through his lfo, but the thing envy
him the most was his way of leaving the
world without knowing that he was gong y
The dinner party was a pleasant one,
Boulanger in particular being tull of anec-
dotes aud souvenirs. When he left tho table
he began to hum tune, and one of his
friends said:
81 hope you are not going to sing going
home. There will be no one in the street at
this hour, and you won't get a penny by
doing so.n
They left him at the door Of his house.
No. Rue Balla, where he also had his
studio Formerly he rented the entire house,
but some years ago he let the first floor to
an old lady friend. After her death the
apartment was taken by the family of a
musician who lives there now. The studio
is over this apartment, and is separated by
a small dressingroom from the bedchani-
Der. A speaking tube was within reach of
his bed, placed there during an illness which
he had two years ago. Well, last Friday
night the janitor of the house heard a feeble
call, and on placing his ear to this tube
heard the artist, in tones so weak that he
could hardly make them out, say: "Go for
my DOCTOR 1t was $3.50 O'clock in the
morning when the physician came, and he
found Boulanger dead, still holding the end
of the speaking tube in his hand

LIFE SAVED BY TANNING.
What Brought Back to Health Two
Yellow Fever Patients.
From the Jacksonville (Fl1.) Metropolis.

From the Jacksonville (Fl1) Metropolis.
"a strange thiag occurred the other
day." said DR.. Seftall of Savannah tAis
morning to a Metropolis reporter. ut ha
pened this way; was the physician il
charge of Charley Clark, the young under
taker OF your city. while he hal very bad
case of yellow fever. For several days |
anxiously watched him, and by close atten-
ton | managed to break the fever, but it
left him so weak that was afraid he would
die of exhaustion.
However, | was going to do my best
and | instructed the nurse to watch him
carefully and inform me by messenger if
he began to sink and with these instruc-
tions | left the sick man TO ate I'D to my
other patients. In about an hour returned

that he was III a state of collapse and rap

him, but nothing would bring MS pulse
above 40 degrees and his tempe AZURE was
down to IS and sinking lower all the time
Matters were looking Desperate and it
was very sad to see this stlrdy young fell
low, who only few days previous was a
robust q; hlete, and now his life was slowly
ebbing away. Suddenly the idea struck me
to fan him. AT first it seemed that such a
course would be absurd, as he was cold as
an iceberg, but finally | resolved on the at
tempt, as / knew it would close the now
open pores, and determined to try. Calling
for a fan, took off all the covering but q
sheet, and slowly began waving it over
him. In q few minutes / gave the
fan to the nurse and watched the
result. In ten minutes | noticed "a
slight change in the pulse for
the better, and urged the nurse to keep up
the novel treatment. In three quarters OF

Father Creed arrived in Orlando Tuesday
en- route to Minneola, to marry couple at
O'Clock that evening, but as the reverend
gentleman failed to make connection with
the train to the point of destination, he was
not able to get there. He telegraphed his
position, and the prospective bride and
groom doubtless deferred the celebration of
their nuptials until Father Greed could ar
rive and tie the knot.
A few days ago, as Philip Solano of st.
Augustine was riding through the woods in
search of cattle, about mile north of Louis
Werfeps place, he discovered in the bushes
a half-grown bear. He had nothing with
him except his cow whip, and he used this
vigorously on the bear slashing at his
eyes. The bear soon became exhausted, and
Mr.. Solano sprang from his horse and
killed him with his knife. Mr.. Sclano re
ceived the bounty for his scalp.
The board of health of Orange county
some time ago began its annual reorganiZa-
ton under the law by re-electing Mr.. Reel
as p1 'id4nt. The election of secretary and
treasurer was then postponed. The b ard
met yesterday for the purpose Of complet-
irg its organization, when DR.. f. s. Chap
man was elected secretary and treasurer for
the ensuing year. The board fixed the
amount Of his bond as such at $500, to be
approved by the president. The salary of
Sc secretary and treasurer, during the preya-
lence Of the epidemic, was also fixed, The
regular meetings Of the board were changed
from semi weekly to semi-monthly meet
iDgs.
At Brooksville, Sat urday afternoon, in
the court house the county democracy held
meeting in which Hon. b. f. Kirk, can
ddate for. senatorship on the anti-Mann
ii ket, spoke, being followed by Col. A. S.
Maun, who is a candidate for recollection on
the Mann ticket. These were foil wed by
other speakers. While there are internal
divisions in the democratic ranks of Her
nando so far as the county ticket is CON
cerned, there is none as TO the state and
national tickets. The republicans have out
ticket in the county, and Col Shipman,
republican candidate for governor, spoke
here some days ago, but without exciting
much enthusiasm.
Capt. Fleming, democratic candidate for
governor, and party spoke i'll the Brooks
vile court house, on Tuesday afternoon, to
large and appreciative audisnce, inclu :
ing many ladies. He was roundly APP
plauded- Col. 7. NJ. Shackletord, in a neat
speech, presented to him, from Mrs Dr.
StriDger, a large and beautiful bouquet
which lie accepted with thanks and in a
quite flowery speech. Then Col. BItford
one of FIorida's presidential electors, spoke
also, cleverly and humorously, upon the
tariff question, amidst rounds of appau Q.
He was followed by Col. Frio, w dwet
more upon state sues in an ad lresi well
delivered. The last speaker was Col Mer-
rill, a corresE ond mt of the Times Union
At o'cl ok p. NJ Capt Fleming and party
