BERLIN, April 1S.-(New York World
Cablegram-special Telegram.)-A great
deal has been written about the famous
DR. Evans, the American dentist Of Paris,
who was the boon companion aud adviser
OF Napoleon III. But there are American
dentists now in Europe who are Just as
close to king or emperor, only they do
not boast Of it, and the world in general
knows nothing about it.
The American dentists who serve royalty
in Europe are considered as intimate
friends and privileged characters. Being
from America, where court etiquette is not
recognized, the ordinary conventlonalitles
are laid aside for them.
at is the American dentist" is sufficlent
explanation for royal favors in Germany,
Russia. Austria, Spain, Sweden and Italy.
In each OF those countries the members OF
the royal family have chosen Americans
for their dentists and treat them as con-
idential friends
Fifty years ago a king or a prince con-
sidered his dentist in the same class with
his b'Aber and his hair dresser, but when
American dentists established themselves
in the capitals Of Europe and were sent
for, In condescendng fashion, by members
OF the royal families, they fatty declined
to go. They were so far superior to any
other dentists that they won the day and
soon monopollzed the practice among roy
atty.
1t has come to such a pass indeed that
none but American dentists can hope to
become attached to the courts. Europeans
are constantly going over to America for
their degrees in order to gain favor with
their king
N-Hz t1
his American dentist, DR.. Sylvester, who
lives in a magnificent mansion near the
Tiergarten in Berlin. When the kaiser
wants his teeth attended to he never sends
for DR.. Sylvester to come to him, but goes
himself TO the dentists house on foot with
only one attendant and walks in so quietly
that the neigh borhood often does not know
he is there. The emperor has loaded the
doctor down with gifts and favors.
The king of Saxony cannot complain II
the crown princess made a friend Of her
| American dentist, because his American
dentist, DR.. Jenkins, has always enjoyed
| very great favor. The king will never have
any other dentist, and this partiality has
made DR.. jenkins enormously rich
| DR.. Wallason, the czar's American dem
] tist, lives in st. Petersburg in a palace IN
| the quarter reserved for grand dukes and
ambassadors. II Is furnished with such
exquisite things that each room represents
a fortune in itself. Wherever the car oil
czarina or the grand dukes are they always
send for DIR. Wallason and he is kept busy
travelling from one end of the big Russian
empire to another.
Probably no one living knows the i'm
periel family SO intimately as DR.. Wallsson
| In his presence they lay aside the rigit
formality they observe even with members
of their households. But DR.. Wallason wal
never known to discuss them.
! In the same way DR.. Thomas, an Amer,
-iinph fertist os Vienna, has been for yeAu
an intimate friend Of the~emperos ahd b,
has never betrayed the emneror's confdenc,
by single indiscrete utterance.
