Europe's Most Famous Dentist.
Death of DR.. Thomas w. Evans, an
American who Amassed 5000, 900
nv Filling the Teeth of Royalty.

DR.. Thomas w. Evans, the famous
American dentist who facilitated the flight
of the ex-Empress Eugene from Paris in
1870 died suddenly at Paris Sunday. lie
was born in Philadelphia about 1928, his
father being Maj. VIM. M. Evans, dis
tinguished soldier of the war of 1872.
Early in life he became interested in me-
chanical matters and was employed for a
short time in the work shop of a silversmith.
He studied in the office of a well-known
physician, and also took a course of in
struction at the jefferson Medical college.
He experimental largely with rubber, and
the inventor of vulcanite, now so familiar
in many forms. This invention was per-
fected with the help of Goodyear, who is
often enormously credited with its original
production. After several years of indie
pendent practice, mostly spent in Lam
caster, Pa, Dr. Evans was sent for as the
most competent American dentist to take
part in an important consultation to be
he d in Paris in 1856, and thither departed
with his young wife, not dreaming of his
future connection with and celebrity at the
worlds capital.
His knowledge and skill in his profession
was so much superior to that of any prac-
titoners then in Europe that he soon be-
came Iue ledul0R ueuIlsJ VI IudJ COuIlutuJ,
one of his early clients being Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte. prince president of the French
republic One of Dr. Evans's great achieve
ments was the removal from the mouth
of Prince Oscar of Sweden Of an eccentric
growth of wisdom teeth which were in the
form of boar-line tusks which force them
selves into the flesh of his cheeks. Not
alone were his professional services APP
| preciated, but he was allowed to enter the
family circles of the highest nobility, and
at the time the king of Denmark was liv-
| ing in straitened circumstances in Halle il
was Dr. Evans who became the favorite
story-teller to the children who are today
the empress of Russia, the princess of
Wales and the king of Greece. His record
during the late civil war in the United
States will be found in the history of the
United States sanitary commission, which
he organized in Philadelphia, coming over
especially to serve his native land in the
hour of need.
Dr. Evans was an active or honorary
member of almost every benevolent associa
ton in Europe, and the United States. H,
was a very wealthy man, his fortune benG
estimated at nearly $55, 000, 900, and wher
in this country this summer he authorized
the statement that he would spend larg,
part of his money in founding and main
tanning educational institutions in thi
country. DR.. Evans left America only
month ago having come here with tn
body of his wife.

Fifty Cent Gas for Boston.
Henry Nj. whitney Gets Control of All
Plants and Promises Very Low Prices.

Henry Nj. whitney Gets Control of All
Plants and Promises Very Low Prices.
Fifty cent gas is coming to Boston
Henry NJ. Whitney and his associates have
arranged for the purchase of some of the
local gas companies, and obtained control
of ali the rest This deal is said to be a
sure thing, and will make Henry NJ. Whit
ney the gas king of New England. For
the first time since the granting of his
"pipe line" charter, three years ago, he
will be able to fulfil, by virtue of his new
process and sources of supply, the promises
of cheaper light and fuel made when he
asked for the privileges accorded in his
charter.
Mr.. Whitney was called visionary, but
he proposes to prove the truth of his state
ments. The solution came within the last
few months, when he demonstrated that
cheap coke was the long wished for fuel
for locomotives, giving heat without smoke
So great is Mr.. Whitney's confidence in
this discovery that he expects that, as the
market grows, gas will be the minor and
coke the principal product of his ovens.
According to his pipe line charter, he is to
furnish this gas to distributing companies
in various cities in this part of the state at
20 cents a thousand feet, and it is believed
it can be distributed so that it will cost the
consumer only 30 cents thousand
