d.
\ The true story of the flight Of the
Empress Eugene from the Tuilleries
will soon be published. 1t Is now in
the form of a manuscript left by Dr..
T. w. Evans. the American dentist,
who accompanied the Empress in her
flight to England. Dr.. Crane, who
aided DR.. Evans in protecting Eugene
and accelerating her flight, says he
only awaits a decision Of the court be-
fore publishing this contribution to
French history. The reason why 1t was
not published during DR.. Evans life
time is because 1t deals hard blows at
those who deserted the Empress in her
hour Of trial. Now that most Of the
chief actors in the drama OF 1870 have
passed away, the venerable ex-Empress
has expressed the wish that this inter
esting manuscript be published.
