DR.. Thomas w. Evans the great
American dentist died in Paris
last Monday, For a number Of
years DR.. Evans has lived in Paris
and has done more than any other
dentist in putting "crown heads"
in the mouth of crown heads. He
was the first dentist to introduce
in Europe gold filling for teeth.
After the battle of Sedan Doctor
Evans brought himself into prom
inence by assisting the Empress
Eugene to escape from Paris. He
leaves a fortune estimated at from
$25,OOO,OOO to $35, 900 900.
Minnie, Wallace Walkup is again
before the public. Shortly after the
close of the New Orleans Exposi-
ton Minnie Wallace, a girl 10
years old was married to a Mr..
Walkup, Mayor of Emporia Kan.
Walkup was go years old and very
wealthy. He died under suspicious
circumstances in 1885 and his
young wife was accused of murder
ing him. Although a post norton
revealed the fact that Walkup's
death was caused by arsenic poison,
Minnie was acquitted. Last Sep.
tember Minnie was married in
Milwaukee to a millionaire banker
by the name of John B. Ketcham.
A few days ago Ketcham died
suddenly; but no trace of any kind
of poison was found, and it is prob
able that Minnie will get possess
sion of her husbands property
valued at $500 600.

FLOURISHlNG INDUSTRY.
Remarkable Showing Made by the
Lackawanna Wheel Company,

In these days of new enterprises that
mark the return of prosperity and re-
ViVal of business everywhere, the Elec-
trio City bids fair to keep pace with
all rivals as a city of industry and it
is difficult for the ordinary man to
keep track of the numerous business
ventures that are materially assisting
each year in making Scranton a pros
porous city. Among the most prom
ising enterprises of the valley may be
mentioned the Lackawanna Wheel
company whose plant is situated on
North Washington avenue near the
Suburban Light company's power
house. Although the Lackawanna
wheel is we'll and favorably known to
the expert riders of Scranton, few are
aware of the reputation for excellence
that this bicycle has gained throughout
the country. The Lackawanna Wheel
company began manufacturing bicycles
last fall and in less than a year the
company is known nearly all over the
United States on account of the fine
workmanship exhibited on the goods
that the concern has placed on the
market. The 'Lackawanna" and
"Black Diamond" wheels made by this
bers of the Spalding and other wheel
companies to be second to none, and in
fact the Lackawanna company is rec
ogniZed by first-class makers every
where as a reputable establishment
which turns out high grade of wheels
only.
John A. Mears is president of the
Iackawanna Wheel company, and j.
M Kistler is vice president and man
ager An evidence of the stability of
the institution and the excellent man
agement is given in the business that
has been done during the brief exist
ence of the company.
During the past few months, when
bicycle factories making cheap wheels
have been going to the wall all over
the country, the business of the Lack
awanna company has steadily increas-
ed until the force of men at the Wash
ington avenue plant Is unable to make
wheels fast enough to fill the unso-
licited orders that are coming in from
various parts of the country where the
wheel recommends itself on sight.
Two beautiful specimens Of the work
Of the establishment We're shown a
Tribune reporter who visited the Lack
awanna plant yesterday. They were
wheels that had been made to order for
parties at Philadelphia and Newburg,
N. Y, and were the handsomest in de-
sign and decoration of any that have
been turned out from the establish
ment.
1t is understood that the capital
stock of the Lackawanna Wheel COM
pan is soon to be enlarged and that
additional machinery and workmen will
be placed in the plant ia order that
there may be no difficulty in supply
ing the demand In future.

CAMP LEWIS MERRILL.
That viii Be the 0fficia! Title of the
Encampment at Mt. Gretna This
Year-.0rders Received.

Camp orders were received yester-
day by Colonel Coursen of the Thr-
teenth regiment and Major W. S. Mil
lar, inspector of the Third brigade.
The place is Mt. Gretna and the reriod
from July 10 to July II. Lewis Mer
rill,' is the name of the enoampment.
Among other Guard literature re-
ceivcd yesterday was a report by Ma
jor William p. Clarke, ordnance officer,
Third brigade, who was appointed to
investigate charges of Irregularities in
the sharp-shooting records of certain
companies in the brigade.
One of the companies was Company
G, of Montrose. The large number of
men who qualified created the suspic
ion that something was wrong. Major
Clarke reports that he found the record
of Company G. regular and legitimate.
A novel recommendation was made
by Major Clarke in reporting the in
vestigation of Company + of the
Fourth regiment. Major Clarke found
that the sharp shooters record of this
company was irregular. The men,
however, were not to blame and Major
Clarke does not think that they should
be made to suffer from the mistakes
of the company's officers. lie there
fore suggests that the record be not
considered at ALL that the year 1886
shall not have existed and that with
this company the records of 1895 and
1897 shall be considered consecutive"
This is done so that the men may be
eligible to the gold medal for ten years
consecutive sharp shooters qualifica-
ton.
The camp order is the same in detail
as that of preceding years. 1t is men
toned that Colonel James w. Oak
ford has been given a three months
furlough with permission to go beyond

This is something which happens al
most daily among the banks of the
country but it has not been the practice
to hold bankers criminally liable for
the criminal acts of their clerks.
1t would have been better for all
parties concerned if so much trusting
was not INDUCED in to osubordinates and
little more knowledge of affairs was
absorbed by the officers themselves.
There is althogether too much left for

Fads In Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and new thing" fre-
quently sells for short time simply
because it is new. But in medicine, as
in nothing else, the people demand and
will be satisfied only with positive,
absolute merit. The fact that Hoods
Sarsaparilla has stood its ground
against all competition, and its sales
have never wavered but have remained
steadily at the top, demonstrates, be-
yound any doubt, the intrinsic virtues
of this medicine. The new things
have come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid foundation
OF absolute merit and power to cure,
and its sales continue to be the largest
in the world.

One day soon after Lincolns S call for

man, was on his way to Defiance, O.,
from Fort Wayne for the purpose of
singing at political and loyal meeting
He had considerable reputation as a
composer and singer and the Republic
ans had asked him to come and help
them. On the way he read the poem,
which had just been published. Irving
studied it, formulated tune, hummed
1t and got the rhythm, and that even
ing at the Defiance meeting he sang
the song for the first time. When he
had finished, and the last echoes had
died away, men mounted their chairs
with wild enthusiasm, swung their
hats and broke loose in cheers that rang
with feeling He sang it again and
again, and they would scarcely let him
rest.
The next night he sang the song at
Fort Wayne, and again aroused the
same enthusiasm. He wrote out the
music and sent it to the publisher who
had handled what he had composed,
with instructions to publish it on his
usual terms of royalty. 1t was publish
ed, and inside of a month more than
40, 900 copies had been sold In few
days the publisher failed and Irving
never received dollar for the music. =
