DR.. EVANs OHIvALRY.
no" He Assisted Ex-Empress Eugene to
Escape From Paris.

SnPo FROM Paris.
Naturally tho most interesting part OF
che career of DR.. Evans was the share
which Tvs took In assisting the French err
Empress Eugene to escape from Paris.
According to the story told by DIR. Evans
while In Philadelphia in September last.
the empress, accompanied by Nine. LIE
Breton, Prince Metternich and Sienor
Nigra, the Italian minister, attempted to
escape by running down a private stair
case leading TO the palace gardens, hut
the mob was before her. Thereupon they
turned back, traversed tho gallery of the
Louvre TO the door leading to the Palace
St. dermain Auxerois opposite the church
OF that name, from which building mar
row passage led to the street. There they
could hear the shouts of the mob, and,
later, they plunged into the crowd. The
empress was soon afterward recognized by
street urchin, but the lads shout was not
noticed, and the empress and Nine. Le
Breton were thrust by their companions
into cab. They soon discovered that
they had only francs between them,
probably not enough TO pay the driver,
and so, in order TO avoid scene and the
possible capture of the empress, they
empress realized that they were near the
house OF DIR. Evans, and they hurried to
him for assistance. This was Immediately
forthcoming. Mrs. Evans was out of the
city, and SO the empress obtained her
room, and clothing from her wardrobe
was selected as disguise. First the doc
tor tried to get pass to leave Paris, but
failed. Every exit was guarded by troops.
Happily he found that one Of his friends,
also patient, was in command of the
troops at the bridge Of Neuilly, and by
some means he succeeded in informing
the latter that he would like to pass over
the bridge that night with two of his fe-
male patients. The empress was to play
the part of feeble woman who was being
taken away to sanitarium, while Nine.
Le Breton was to personate her nurse.
When all the plans were completed, DIR.
Evans, at dusk, placed the empress and
Mime. lie Breton in his carriage and drove
to the bridge. There 1t was stopped by the
men on duty but the nerve Of the doctor
stood him in good stead, and he succeeded
in passing through the troops. Eventually
they made their way to Derville, after two
days of anxious travelling during which
the fugitives were several times stopped
and questioned The doctor was ready fol
every emergency, and the empress passed
on without being recognized. At DervillC
DR.. Evans went to Sir John Burgoyne
owner of the yacht Gazelle, and after will
difficulty persuading him that he had thu
empress in his charge Eugene was EN-
parked on board the yacht and crossed thu
channel in gale. Finally, on Thursday
Sept. s, the empress met her son, the IL
fated Prince Louis, at Brighton, England
DR.. Evans rented for them the house a
Chiselhurst, where the empress still lives
where Napoleon III died and where TIT

HIS SILENT HEROISM.
Bishop Doane's Story of the Late Erastus
Corning's Business Career.

When Erastus Corning died in Albany
a short time ago a reputed millionaire
and connected with many large institu-
tions, newspaper articles appeared assert
ing that his money had been squandered
and that $12, 600, 600 left him by his father
had disappeared. From the pulpit of All
Saints cathedral recently Bishop Doane,
mentioning Mr.. Corning's many gifts to
the church, denied these stories and put
the matter in a new light. According to
the bishop. the elder Corning left little un-
encountered property for the son. The
bishop said:
"Little as people understand it, he was
richer man before his fathers death than
when he came 10y inheritance into the pos
session OF large property, which was
seriously embarrassed and encountered.
When he came back from Europe, he found
himself confronted with problem which
the average business man would have met
by simply letting mortgages be foreclosed
and debts paid by whatever amount OF
money he could realize from the sale. But
his love for his father and his reverence
for his good name and memory led him at
this time to take position which, to say
the least was romantic, and in way,
think, heroic And the later embarrass
ment of his fortune was due neither To
carelessness nor to lavish expenditures OF
money, but to the sentiment Of maintain
| ing the institution which had borne his
fathers name and was so identified with
his fathers life and work.
~ am quite sure that those of MS who
were, as l was, intimately associated with
| him ut that time and during the years Of
anxiety that followed 1t will realize and
recognize a rare element Of high and chiv
alrous motive which, however unwiss II
may seem to have been in the merely mer
camille mind of today, places him among
the honorable and high minded business
men of America New York Tribune.

Patriotic Women Lead q Movement to
Establish Such an Institution.
The oft agitated question of establishing
in the city of Washington great national
university on the lines suggested by Presi-
dent Washington at last has taken more
definite form than in the past, and a mum
Der of representative American women
have taken hold of the project with de-
termination to push 1t to successful con
clusion II possible. They have started out
in n practical manner by seeking to raise
the first $3.50, 900 necessary for the erection
of an administration building to form the
nucleus Of the university, and hope to DO
able to lay the cornerstone on Feb. 20,
1899. Their purpose in the meantime is
to urge the matter continuously on the at
tention of women all over the country.
They intend likewise to interest all the
school children in the work.
Mrs. Allen A. Richardson Of Boston,
chief organizer of the movement, writing
to George H. Harries of Washington OF
the plans thus far formed, said: 1.-The pa
triotic women of America are to build the
administration building, and they propose
to make Feb. 22, 1898, the nations first
Offering day for this purpose, asking no
large contributions, begging nothlng.
Americas 20, ZOO, 900 people must build
this great monument. II the 1000, 600
children in the public schools in America
would give an Offering of q penny each on
washington's birthday, they would raise
sum sufficient to erect the building and
endow it. Let us, then, join hands and
have an American university, American
sciences and American ideas for American
citizens. New York Tribune.

ADVANTAGES OF FOOTBALL.

Eloquent Sermon.

Rev. MIR. Cameron Said IL Preached IN
Eloquent Sermon.
The Rev. Charles j. Cameron preached
in the Fourth Presbyterian church, Cam
bridge, Mass, recently on Athletics and
Christianity" He said in part
"There is loud cry today in some
quarters as to the brutality Of football and
other sports. As an old football player l
will say that there is no brutality about
football. Mark three things in regard to
that game First, for months the eyes OF
these men were fixed on u definite goal
Second, to the reaching OF that goal they
have bent every energy OF mind and body
If for no other reason than this alone, foot
ball and other athletic games are invalu-
able. Third, to reach that goal, with
wisdom which the wisest on earth cannot
do better than initiate, they have been
temperate in all things, they have under
gone the severest training, they have sub
mitted to all manner Of restrictions In
food and manner Of life, and in the end
they have come on the field as nearly per-
feet men physically as they can be made,
and that means mentally and morally
sound also. The steps by which men rise
to supreme moral and spiritual power are
identical with those by which physical su'
premacy is reached, and to him who has
eyes to see there is no more eloquent ser
mon than he reads on football field. -

NEW BRAND OF COTTON.
It Has Created Considerable Interest
Among the Farmers In Georgia.

Among the Farmers In Georgia.
Mr.. p. G. Ware of Wilkes county, Ga,
of limbless cotton fame, is the possessor OF
new variety of cotton which promises to
create an interest in the cotton raising
states far greater than that caused by the
jackson limbless cotton.
MIR. Ware has on exhibition in Washing
ton, Ca, one stalk of this wonderful cot
ton with 100 open bolls, all Of which open
cd before Oct. 90, and another stalk with
21O fully matured bolls most OF which
are open. A large number OF people from
here and other counties have gone out to
look at this cotton growing in the field,
and all pronounce it something wonderful
TO behold. Scarcely stalk has less than
100 bolls on it, Mr.. Bates, from Decatur,
Ca, has been down to see this field OF cot
ton and says the jackson limbless cotton
does not compare with it; that this will
yield fully twice as much.
When questioned about this cotton, MIR.
Ware stated that he started it from sim
gle stalk, from which he selected the seed
three years ago. This year he planted on
ground that had been in cultivation for
over so years and abandoned MS too poor
to work and reclaimed only two years ago.
1t grows in bunch like cedar tree and
bears close planting in tho rows and the
bolls grow in clusters. He has ohristen
ed it Wares cluster cotton" There is
also q stalk Of Mr.. Jackson's limbless cot
ton on exhibition here. 1t has only 4s
bolls on it. just one limb of Mr.. Wares
cluster cotton has 52 hollis on it.-Atlantt

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Captain Mckee Fsvors Keeping Them In .
Territorial Condition For Thirty Years.

Captain Thomas Ii. Mckee Of Indiana,
Journal clerk of the house and ex secretary
OF the Republican congressional com NIT
tee, presented some rather novel views re-
Gently on the question OF Hawaiian an
nexation. He said:
- favor the policy of annexing tho Ha-
waiian Islands, in addition to the ordi-
nary reason of naval defense and protection
OF our Pacific seaboard, because i am so
good friend to the negroes of America
that / would want some place like Hawaii
with its pleasant climate and fruitful soil,
set apart for the experiment of u self sus-
tanning community made up of our col
ored fellow citizens where they would
have the advantage of starting out with
the civilization they have acquired as a
race in America and where they could
work out for themselves the problem of
existence without leaning too much on the
white people.
81 would not admit Hawaii into the
Union as state Immediately. Indeed a
stipulation that it should remain in a ter
ritorial condition for, say, not less than
30 years should be inserted in the treaty
of annexation or joint resolution as adopt
| ed by congress. 1t is true that would not
bind any subsequent congress desiring to
undo the provision. AS q matter Of fact
as l remember, not one of the stipulations
inserted in the treaty of acquisition OF
Louisiana was ever repealed. Such provi
sions of safeguard would not be repealed
The islands will not be ready for statehood
| for many years to come"
Captain Mckee says he is absolutely
| sure that the Hawaiian Islands will bs
annexed at the approaching session Of con
gress. He says further, II would like t.
see an extension Of the policy to the Wes
India islands, the purchase of the Danisl
possessions there, and also of slice O
northern Mexico il she would part will

the reverend gentleman became very ear
