DentiNt in tlie Old XX orlil.
Mew York, Aug. 29.—Dr. Thomas W.
over with the body of his wife, which is
to be interred in Woodlawn cemetery,
Philadelphia.
Dr. Evans is now 75 years of age and Is
said to be worth $35,000,000. A bout $5,000,-
000 of this property is in New York city
real estate, the remainder in Paris and
elsewhere. This fortune has been gather
ed since Dr. Evans first went to Paris
from Philadelphia in the ’4os. During
the empire of Napoleon 111 his fame as a
dentist was world-wide. In that capac
ity he served Napoleon, the Empress Eu
genie and all the monarchs of Europe, ex
cept Queen Victoria and the present Sul
tan of Turkey. Victoria's children and
the present Czar of Russia, when chil
dren, were his patients.
Dr. Evans has orders and decorations
innumerable and it was In his carriage
that the Empress Eugenie escaped from
Paris after the battle of Sedan.
The wife of Dr. Evans died on June 17
last at their residence in Paris. The
doctor was accompanied on the voyage
by Dr. Edward S. Crane, his junior part
ner.
Dr. Evans said he did not know how
long he would remain in this country, but
lie will return to his home in Paris. He
left for Philadelphia immediately. He
will probably stay at the old family home
stead at 4011 Sjiruce street.
At 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
services over the remains of his wife will
be heal in St. Mary's Protestant Episco
pal church, Philadelphia.

Rilehet. He and Lord Lister, the father
of antiseptic surgery, will be prominent
figures at the session.
A number of American physicians will
contribute special papers. Dr. William
Oster of Baltimore, of the Johns Hopkins
hospital will contribute a paper on med
icine. A great many of the British and
American guests will be accompanied by
their wives, and for whom excursions
have been devised. The dominion gov
ernment. the government of the province
of Quebec and the city of Montreal, have
made large appropriations for the enter
tainment of the associations and its
guests.
The city of Montreal will entertain the
association at a luncheon to be given on

Paris*, Aug. 29.—The city is growing into
a frenzy of enthusiasm over the welcome
to be extemle.l to President Faure on his
return on Tuesday next from his visit to
Russia.
Already the principal streets and build
iiiKs are decorated with and bunting.
A tfroup of tradesmen held a meeting yes
terday and resolved to erect a grand stand
and triumphal arch, and committees are
busy in all quarters of the city.
The feature of the whole thing is that
all is done spontaneously by the citizens
with no attempt at official organization,
while President Faure himself can have
no idea of the reception in store for him.
The excitement has reached such a pitch
that there is talk of making Aug. "o, the
national fete day instead of July 14, and
also Instituting life presidencies, with
President Faure as the first incumbent.

AMERICA'S BOND XHTTER.
Judge Littlejohn Hears tlie Com*
plaint.
Americus, Ga., Aug. 29.—Judge Little
john on yesterday heard the petition for
injunction brought by S. H. Hawkins and
wife to restrain the mayor and city coun
cil of Americus from issuing bonds to the
amount of s3s,ott> as provided for at a re
cent election, the same to be devoted to
needed public improvements. Many alle
gations were made by petitioners, but the
main point at issue was the publication
of the notice of election. The publication
was made in the Daily Times Recorder in
stead of the weekly edition, the latter be
ing the official organ of the sheriff, and
In tvhleh the legal advertisements appear.
The case will be taken to the supreme
court for a final hearing that no doubt
may rest upon the validity of the bonds.
Judge Littlejonn reserved his decision in
the hearing yesterday.
Rev Dr. John B. Turpin, pastor of
First Baptist church of Americus. preach
ed his farewell sermon here to-day to a
very large congregation, and will leave
this wetek for his former home in Char
lottsville, Va. Dr. Turpin has been pas
tor of this church a number of years and
is greatly beloved in Americus.
Cotton is coming into the Americus
market at a lively rate now. Receipts by
wagon yesterday aggregated 450 bales,
while receipts of new cotton to date is
about 2,000 bales. The fields are white
with the staple, and with continued fair
weather for picking heavy receipts are
expected this week. The crop Is short in
this section and will be gathered by the
last of September.
DEXIES FORXIER STORIES.
Tlie Outlaw Xlutter in Abbeville lias
Taken a Queer Turn.
Abbeville, Ga., Aug. 29.—The case of J.
A. Outlaw, who was lodged in jail here
last Thursday, and charged with outrag
ing his daughter, was brought before Jus
tice MeLane yesterday, for a preliminary
examination.
Despite the statement of H. A. Lawson
and others, who arrested Outlaw, that the
girl had gone before a magistrate and
sworn out a warrant for her father's ar
rest, ml that her mother and sisters
would testify to his crime on the trial of
the case, she and her mother swore that
she had never made such a charge, had
never appeared before ti magistrate, and
that there was no truth in the charge.
Fpon examination of tlie warrant there
was no signature affixed, and as no one
appeared to prosecute the case the prison
er was discharged. Tlie whole affair is
shrouded in mystery.
Martha Outlaw testified that a party of
men brought great pressure to bear on
her—to induce her to swear out the war
rant—and that she refused to comply.
Boiii mother and daughter deny that Out
lew committed the crime. Although re
stored to liberty, Outlaw, by advice of his
counsel, will not return to his home, for
the present at least.

Low-Down Trick on u Thief.
All is not gold that glitters, eays the
Chicago Record. Which is to say that
not all diamonds will scratch glass. This
is a great truth which a Chicago crook
stumbled against very hard the other
night.
There is nothing bad about Wilder. He
keeps gay company at odd times, but he
is nothing worse than frivolous. He
would have made an ideal drummer if lie
had not been born rich. In truth, several
of his chums are drummers, one of them
for a big jewelry house. The other even
ing. with several other kindred spirits,
they were playing billiards in a downtown
place. Tint jewelry drummer, in a lit of
fun. pulled out a large solitaire ring, such
as sells for about S7.Ho a quart, and slip
ped it on Wilder’s finger.
"Wilder’s rich enough to wear it, If any
one can," suggested a friend.
"How's that?"
"He can carry the bluff with his bank
account. You put that ting on me and a
man in Mars with a tcdeseop* would dis
cover that it was paste. When people
see it on Wilder—why, they'll know it’s
good."
Somebody admitted that it was a funny
world and the game went on.
It tvns almost 12 o'clock when the bil
liard party dispersed. Refreshments had
been passed several times and a number
of old acquaintances had come and gone
during the evening. As Wilder raid good
night someone looked for his ring.
"Where's your sparkler, Wilder?** he
asked.
Wilder looked at his hand. There was n
plain band of gilt metal around the finger,
but the cheap glass solitaire was gone.
‘ I ll be blow* 1!" was Wilder's comment.
A closer examination of the ring show
ed that the setting had been clipped from
the ring as with a razor. Home clever
thief, who was a good judge of human
nature and a poor judge of diamonds, hud
gone hard against a practical joke.

A FIRE-FIGHTING DOG.
Mile Cun I limb llie Lndder ax Well ax
tin- Xlen.
From the Memphis Comracrc .il Appeal
John Foley patted Mary affectionately
on the head fold remarked: “She’s the
greatest dog yefo ever saw. Eh, Mary?
If a call should come in now she would be
the first one lo her post. When that fire
gong rings Mary knows it means a run,
and she stations herself under file wagon."
Mary belongs to Capt. Raja's squad,
which is stationed on Poplar street, and
she is as well thought of as any member
of (he squad, as I'apt. Raja has sai l many
times. Mary has been In the fire service
for about three years. Her mother, who
was known by the name of Fannie, and
whose reign preceded that of Mary, saw
about ten years’ service on the lire de
partment under Capt. Raja, and she is still
to be seen at the captain's headquarters.
Fannie, the boys say, has retired from act
ive life, and is living on a pension.
Alary goes to every tire that tlie chemical
responds to. In the time that she has
been a member of the chemical squad she
has had some exciting experiences and
narrow escapes. She can climb a ladder
almost as rapidly as any of tlie men, anil
wherever it is possible for her to be at
their side there she is. Not long since
there was a fire on Market street. When
the gong rang Alary took up licr station
under the wagon. She was at the scene
of the fire by the time the wagon got
there. The fire was In the garret of the
building, anil leading to this garret was a
ladder. The firemen quickly ascended this
ladder. Mary was right there with them.
When they got ready to leave they did so,
but Alary hung back. They missed her,
and Capt. Raja, along with several of his
men, started in search of her. They re
membered that she was in the garret with
them lighting tlulWre, and look' and in there
for her. Thera* was Mary, scratching
around in somy old ftflffilsh, looking for
fire, and she had uncovered a spark or
two, but with her feet she quickly extin
guished them.
One of the most remarkable traits of
Mary’s character is her affection for her
mother. Fannie is still endowed with the
old-time love of adventure and excite
ment, and brightens up when the alarm
gong rings. But she no longer goes to
tires. Mary is responsible for this fact.
She had a bard time breaking her beloved
parent of the habit of going to fires, but
she finally did so. Even yet Fannie will
get up and start out on a run with the
wagon, but Alary drives her back. She
drags her mother by a limb, and holds her.
or runs in front of her, and barks until
the elder dog returns. Then Ma-ry Joins
the squad.
Both Mary and Fannie have developed
the wonderful faculty of telling the differ
ence between the exercise bell and the lire
beli. At stated hours the gong rings for
the horses to be let out of their stalls and
to tie hitched to the wagon, Just as though
they were going to a lire. There is no
difference between this ringing and the
ringing of a fire alarm, hut the dogs have
learned to tell them apart. Mary will
glance up at Ihe Indicator as though she
was reading the number there, and if it is
simply the exercise bell ringing, she will
not move.
V\ liiit a Sn hnin ri n* flout inn |>o.
John I*. Holland in Cassb-r's Magazine.
When engaged In harbor defense duty its
position will be outside the outer line of
harbor defense—that is, beyond the range
of the guns defending the entrance. While
performing this duty it ivili lie awash—that
is, with only the top of its turret over the
surface of the water. On tin* approach of
an enemy’s vessel the smoke-stack will be
shipped and the aperture on top ot the tur
ret through which it passed will be quick
ly closed water-tight. She will then run in
a direction to intercept the enemy's ship,
still remaining in the awash condition un
til she comes near enough to lie discovered
by the lookouts on the ship, when’shc will
go from the awash to the entirely sub
merged condition. The distance from the
ship at which she must dive will depend
on the weather. In rough weather she can
come quit#* close without being observed.
Having come within a distance that the
operator estimates at two or three hundred
yards from the ship, the diving rudders
are manipulated so as to cause the top of
the turret to come for a few seconds above
the surface of the water. During this
short exposure of the turret—much too
short to give the enemy a chance to find
its distance and train a gun on it capable
of Indicting any Injury—the pilot ascer
tains tin* bearing of the enemy’s ship, al
ters his course or makes another dive if
necessary. If he finds that tin* submarine
boat is within saf<* striking distance, way
100 yards, a Whitehead torpedo Is dis
charged at tin* ship. A heavy explosion
within six seconds after tin* torpedo is cx
(icl)ed will notify the* operator that his at
tack tm\been sucre sful, and h# may th**ri
devote ids attention to tin next enemy's
ship that may be within r*ach.
When the boat Is running on the sur
face of the water, with full steam power,
and It liecornes necessary to dive quickly,
the pilot gives the order. "I'repare to

ooverlcs in the neighborhood of Juneau
were made by George Juneau, a eomin
of the Kansas man, in company with a
man by the name of Harris. Tlie little
settlement that was then started was
called Harrisburg, but Inter ilie miners
changed Us name to Juneau, in honor of
the Kansas man, who had gone there on
the invitation of bis cousin and estab
lished a trading house. This was In IXM,
and the Kansas Juneau remained in
Alaska until 1985, when he returned to
Sunflowerdom.
In the course of an interview with the
Dodge City Republican, Mr. Juneau says:
“I cannot see the reason for advising
travel by the Yukon river route, a dis
tanoe of 2,600 or more trom .lu
nrau to the Klondike gold fields, when
there is a shorter route, perhaps more
difficult, but practical, which is over tlie
Chilkoot pass, a distance of four hundred
miles from the town of Juneau. Tlie pas
sage over the Chilkoot pass is novel, but
has iieen performed many years. Inis
pass is about a hundred miles from Ju
neau. Indians, botli men and women, are
employed In making the ascent of the
pass. They carry govs is* on their backs
from the head of Linn channel to the
nearest point whore you strike the X tikoti
river, a distance of about seventy-five
miles, ami charge sls to *> I" >' hundred
pounds. Two weeks Is required to make
tile trip. An Indian will carry a hun
dred pounds besides ills own clothing and
provisions, weighing thirty pounds more.
About two hundred Indians were at one
time employed in carrying goods over the
pass, hut the number < ngaged In the
traffic must lie greater now. Mules nhd
horses are no good in this mountain
climbing; and. I-sides, no grass grows
in that country, anti hay arul f‘ and ftnlppui
In there would l.e great luxuries Ht enor
mous figures, only a mbss grows there.
The country Is too rough for animal
'•The country is covered with moss, a
vine that contains prickles as sharp as a
porcupine, with sawllke edges, with the
edges reversed or pointing to you. I hey
got into the flesh and slick deep. These
pricks with the back barb break as you
null them out of your flesh, and a por
tion remains in the flesh. The only way
t„ get them out is to dig them out. Ihe
pricks make a sore. These infernal l-rieks
are about one and one-half to two inches
long, and there is excruciating pain When
you pull these barbed pricks from your
flesh. The chigger is nowhere In compar
ison to the moss prick. Except where
tlie water wears the surface or tlie earth
the eouutry is covered with moss. That
is one of the difficulties of travel. Where
there is no lee there is moss and devil's
clnb. the latter a vine that winds around
anything it ean clutch. Persons walking
become entwined in a network of moss,
and devll'.s club, and passage Is extreme
ly difficult nnd tortuous.”
GIIOXXTH OF LIBRARIES.
Itcninrkable Increase In Hrltnin la
the East Forty tear*.
From the Scottish American.
In his address last week to the interna
tional library conference held In London
Sir John Lubbock gave some very inter
esting and instructive facts concerning the
growth of the library throughout the
world. He did not particularly refer to
Scotland, where our own countryman, Mr.
Andrew Carnegie, han done -and is still
doing—so very much to establish them.
Sir John is an Englishman, and naturally
gave prominence to ills own country; but
we will not follow his example.
It was not until IST.7 that the movement
to establish public libraries fairly began
In Britain. Between that year and
no less than fifteen were opened there
under the provisions of tin- public libraries
act. In the n**xt decade that niimis r was
increased by forty-live. Sixty-two more
were added in the decade 1577 to ISkfi. and
no fewer than 199 have been added since.
Before 1877 almost nothing had been done
in the great metropolis <*f tendon itself
toward establishing public libraries, but
there they have since established 321. In
Britain 350 different places or towns have
now adopted the public libraries act, and
the aggregate number of books in their
libraries is about 5,000.000, their annual is
sues 27,000,000 ami their attendance 0.00h,-
000. That, of course, merely takes into ac
count libraries established under the act,
and does not include that of the British
Mu.eum. with its 2,000.000 volumes, and
many others. The British, according to
their population, have a larger number
of books than have the people of this
country with their 11,000,000 volumes.
The British colonies also make a good
showing as regard* libraries: Australia
possesses 840 public libraries, with 1,400.-
000 volumes; N-vv Zealand, *J9H, with XIO/M)
volumes; South Africa, übout 109, with
:t V.o y > volumes, and th** Canadian libra
ries contain ais>ut 1,500,000 volumes.
Sir John considers that these figures
are th*- surest test of tin* advance of civi
lization, both in the mother country and
the colonies. At all events, though people
inay abuse their opportunities, it can no
longer lie said, when libraries are thus
provided to them, that the ample page of
knowledge Is not unfolded to their eyes.
