The recent death of DR.. Thomas w.
Evans, the famous American dentist,
at Paris. recalls romantic incident
in French history. When the French
cause was lost and Emperor Napo-
leon III. was taken prisoner at Sedan.
in September, 1870. the position of Che
Empress Eugene in Paris became one
of great peril. DR.. Evans took the
Empress under his protection, furnish
ed her with disguise, and through
friends in the army succeeded in car
rying her through the lines, with lady
attendant. and took her to England,
where he rented for her the house
which she still occupies at ChiSelhurSt.
DR.. Evans numbered most of the
crowned heads and titled perSOnages
Of Europe among his patients. The
suffering which he witnessed in camps
and hospitals in the Crimean war made
him an earnest advocate of reforms.
He came over to this country during
the Civil war to help to organize the
Sanitary Commission, and during the
Franco PruSSan war he directed the
work of the Red Cross.
