In 1874 Mr. Tilton preferred serious charges
against Henry Ward Beecher who had been

civil damages of 100000. Afterward Mr. TIL

time. sufficed apparently meet his modest de-
mands; least his few intimate friends never
heard him complain of lack Of funds.
After he came to Paris Mr. Tilton formed a
narrow circle Of friends, who esteemed him for
his natural and genial temperament and his at
tainments but ne avoided new acquaintance,
especially Americans. For many years Mr. TIL
ton occupied a small two room lodging in "A re
mote quarter OF the Isle St Louis, N6tre
Dame Cathedral. AT this time his sole passion

Regence, where the celebrated chess players Of
Europe congregated and where Napoleon III
went not infrequently. Mr.. Tilton here became
acquainted with many famous tTencNfnen, ana
matched his skill, among others. against that OF
NJ Grevy before he became President OF the
republic. He often played with judah Philip
BENJAMIN who was then residing in Paris. Later.

with his maiden daughter the two old friends
took q modest apartment on the fifth floor of

and of recent years he has been familiar

To his intimate friends Mr.. Tilton seldom or

his friends with whom he happened to be on

said that Mr.. Tilton, after he heard the news
did not utter a word for five minutes. ana When
he did sneak IL was of other things. Mr.. III
