He is conveying the body of his wife. who
died at Paris on June -. to Philadelphia for in.
terncnt in Woodlswn Cemetery. The doctor is
rs years old. and has n fortune estimated at
about 49,. 900. 600. He looked really like a young
man. but his step. the stoop OF his shoulders,
and the cane that he occasionally leaned on
showed that he was not.
There was brightness in his eye, and he talked
with an enthusiasm that was almost youthful
about tho days when he took the Princess
Eugtnie from Paris after the fall OF the Second
Empire In his own carriage to Calais. Tho doctor
was willing 10 tell "A fcw things about himself.
He was born in Philadelphia and left

also had her teeth put In shape by the Yankee
dentist.
Mrs. Whalen carried n Japanese poodle. which
the doctor said WAS his most treasured possess
sion. II was presented to his wife by the prin-
cess OF Wales. who received II as u present from
the Empress OF Japan. The last time the doctor
was in this country wns in 1875. Hc stopped a

acres OF real estate on what is now Riverside

be had paid little attention to 1t since no got 1t.
but he understood from his agen: that t was
now worth about five million dollars. He will
return TO Paris after burying his wife.
