shortly before 10 o'clock last night at O
point on Missouri avenue near Sd street,

A MAN WITH A NOTABLE RECORD.

The death ia announced, in Paris
yesterday, OF DR.. Thomas W. Evans,
for years known 10 that CITY as the
"great American dentist, His career
was a remarkable one. He was born
in Philadelphia and studied dentistry,
becoming very expert at the profession
early in life. While yet young man
he went to Paris and specially achieved
great reputation. Tha Emperor
Napoleon was among his earliest friends
and patrons, and his countenanre 80
cured him an Introduction To most of
the crowned heads Of Europe. 1t Is
doubtful whether any dentist ever be-
fore had ouch practice among royal
and titled p1rsonages. and he soon
amassed an immense fortune Sont by
the Emperor, at his own suggestion,
during the Crimean war 10 study the
sanitary condition of European camps
and hospitals, be was 80 impressed by
the pictures of misery and suffering
there presented to him, that on his re-
turn he secured the interest OF the
ciYiiznd world in important measures
Of reform. His record during tho late
Civil War 10 the United States will be
found in the history Of tho United
States Sanitary Commission. which he
organized in Philadelphia coming over
especially to serve bis native land in
the hour Of need. During the Franco
prussian war, he was probably tho only
man in Europe who might PASS from
camp to camp. During all this memor.
able campaign he personally directed
the movements of the ambulance corps
of the Red Cross Society. His last
great service TO the imperial family OF
France was, as is we'll known, the secret
conveyance OF the Empress beyond the
walls of beseiged Paris and ou to Eng
lish soil. DR.. Evans vito died several
months ago, and he visited this cuuntry
for the purpose of interrng her romans
at Philadelphia. lie leaves no caildren,
and it is likely that he has devised his
fortune to the cause of education.
