5 Eugenie leeeived vliat education the

side of her nature which was most
Cultivated. From the first lic was ac

were Stendhal. Prosper Merimee and
George Ticknor, and the little Eugenie

At the Spanish court in her early

EX-EMPKESS EUGENIE
Widow of Napoleon III, as lio ap
peared when first wedded to tho
crperor rf tho French and later
when she had lest husband and son,
as well as licr throne
ball given by the emperor nt the Tuil
lories, the wife of u cabinet min
ister was rude and insulting to Eugenic.
When the emnenir heard of it he said
to the young Spanish beauty, who was
looking greatl. troubled: "Tomorrow no
one will dare to insult you." The fol
lowing morning the CounteoS de Montljo
received n letter from the omncror
formally requesting Eugenie's hand. In
less than a month Kugcnio dc Montljo
was Empress of Frnnce.
The marriage was solemnized with
great pomp in Notre Dame, January
ISO. IS.".1.
Won Affections of French People
For eighteen years Eugenic remained
empress of Frnnce. Ilrr early years
on the throne were devoted chiefly to
munificence. She erected hospitals and
churches, and endowed asylums and
learned societies. She proclaimed am
I'esties nud all pardons were granted in
.icr name.
She gained steadily in the aCTectlons
of the French people, nnd in lSTil) the
birth of her son. the ill-fated prince
Imperiul. swept her to the topmost wave
ol popularity. But from that event
also dates her participation in state af
fqirs. which, in the view of most his
torians, led to the downfall both of
herself and her husband. The right
of regency was bestowed upon her, aud
she exercised it while Napoleon was
campaigning in Italy against the Aus
trians, and when he visited Algeria.
Her attendance at cabinet meetings,
begun during her periods of regency,
grew into a habit, and she became Na
poleon's chief political adviser.
"She bus intellect for two nnd cour
age for three," her husband said of
her and she justified at least the latter
part of the tribute when in 1S."8 the
Italian Orsinl threw two bombs into
the imperial carriage while it was on
the way to the opera. At the first re
port Eugenie hrnvely cast herself in
front of her husband to protect him
from further danger, although a frag
ment of clnss had cut her temole.
Her white silk gown was spotted with
blood, but nfter she had been taken
into the theatre lobby she cried,
"Come. Louis, let us go out agaiu and
show them we are not cowards like-
then."
Arbltress of World's Fashion
Rut with Eugenie's courage went a
frivolity which probably was responsible
for her political failures and. c luplod
with Napoleon's ambition, made the
court of the TuIIlcries the model for
luxury and extravoganee in Europe.
Eugenie sighed to be the arbltress of
untinns, she succeeded in becoming the

Eugenie, empress, benuty, mother of
the prince imperial, adviser of the em
peror, leader of fashion, surrounded by
wits, musicians, scientists, writers, art
ists, ruled, confident that her husband's
dynasty was safe and that their ton
would reign after them
"Mais le parti d'Eugenlr n'est pas
le parti dn genio" was an epigram
coined nt thl time. Genius for dealing
with the rising tide of liberalism was
not. Indeed, to be found in Eugenie
with her Spanish traditions nnd distrust
for democracy, nor in nny of the-group
of politicians wh surrounded her. They
blocked Napoleon's plans for the libera
tion of Italy so successfully that he
was left without the confidence of either
clericals or Italian Nationalists. They
discouraged nil concessions to demo
cratic opinion at home nnd this helped
increase the force of the Liberal oppo
sition They backed the unfortunate
expedition of .Maximilian to Mexico
nnd. finally. Eugenlo was blamed for
the disastrous duel with Prussia,
having persuaded her husband to make
wur. it is charged, In order to
strengthen the dynastic prospects of Tils
son.
After keeping peace In France for
twenty jears, Napoleon faced 8ednn on
September 1. 1870. nnd was made a
prisoner, together with his entire army.
Husband Dies; Son Is Kilted
I'ugenie's misfortunes did not end
with exile. Napoleon, who hud Joined
her nt Chlslehurst. near London, nfter
n few months imprisonment In Ger
many, died early in 187.1. In 1870 the
Prince Imperial who the Bonapartlsta
thought should gain experience ns a
soldier before aiming at n restoration
of the empire, was hacked to pieces
by the Zulus, while serving as a volun
teer with the British in Africa.
Out of the fortune she had salvaged
from the wreck of the empire. Eugenie
built a church at Fnrnborough in Hnmp-
shire ns n mnusoleum for her husband
and son and herself, bought and ex
tended the palatini residence of Thomas
Longman, the publisher, at Farnbor
ough Hill. There nnd nt a villa she
built at Cap Martin she passed the last
forty years of her life, paying an occa
sional visit however to Madrid and to
Paris, where, dressed In black, she who
had been the leader of one of the most
brilliant courts of the nineteenth cen
tury passed almost unnoticed save by
children and gendarmes in her beloved
parks.
In her ofcasionol Interviews she em
phasized the strain of mournfulncss in
her life.
"I am the past, tho horizon," she
said. "There is nothing for me but to
wait; ray winter is nearly over."
Some months ago Eugenie lost the
sight of one of her eyes nnd, fearful of
becoming totally blind, determined she

w6uld hnvo a last look at the land of
her birth. So she crept bock to Spsln,
had her picture taken with her god
child and namesake, Queen Victoria
Eugenie, and last mouth actually under
went nn operation for catnract which
partly restored tho sight of her blinded
eye.
Eugenie never attempted to take a
hnnd in the politics of France under
the republic.
' Saw Redemption of Lost Provinces
But with the war that In 1014
threatened to engulf Frnnce an it had
desolated her adopted land half a cen
tur'y before, Eugenie's patriotism flared
anew. She took the greatest interest
in the work of defending the pntrle, and
followed with keenest stent the opera
tlons of the armies, of tho Allies. Her
great wenlth enabled her to be of ins
valuable aid to the French Govern
ment, to which in 1018 she transferred
n historic letter she, had received from
William I, written to her nfter the fall
of the empire, in which he offered the
crown to her son ns Napoleon IV If she
would agree to the cession of Alsace
Lorraine. Eugenie positively nnd indignantly
refused to consent to the yielding of a
foot of French territory to the German
rnnnneror.
Her delight over the liumbllng of
(tormany in the world war and the re
dimption of tho "ldst provinces" was
unbounded.
Eugenie in her last years paid $00,000
for "Napoleon's Walk" at Mnlmalson
to save the nncient trees, and she estab
lished a Napoleonic Museum at Fnrn
borough. The greater part of her for
tune, estimated at $20,000,000 to $30,
000.000, will go to the Bonapartlst
pretender, Prince Napoleon. ' Her god
child, the Queen of Spain, and' the
Spanish queen's mother, Princess Beat
rice of Bntteriberg (who whs betrothed
to the prince imperial) probably inherit
the balance of the estate with the excep
tion of Fnrnborough Hill, which, it
has been stated, goes to the Benedic
tines of Fnrnborough Abbey.

EUGENIE FROM FRENCH MOB
I
Coach Used by Empress and
Flight to Calais Js on View
A relic connected wlth the most
tragic event in the Empress Eugenie's
long nnd stormy life Is preserved at the
wuivi-inuy ni 1 cnnnyivania me coucu
in wnicn sne escaped from Paris to the
seaeonst, when tho Tullcrles wns fired
by the mob,
The ancient coach ts on view in the
museum of the Evans Dental Institute,
Penn's denartment of dentietrv. Inter
nationally famous and founded by the
man wno mode tho "American dentist"
known throughout Europe.
Curiously enough, this dental school
endowed br the first American to win
Ifntne as n dentist abroad, hns become
mo most popular oi an American insti
tutions with foreign dentnl students.
On September 1, 1870. her husband,
Nnpoleon III, with his army, was cap
tured nt Sedan by the Prussians, and
the short, disastrous war was over. On
September 4 the Paris mob attacked the
Tulleries, setting the famous palace
nflrc. In terror, Eugenie disguised her
self and tied for her life.
Sought Refuge With American
She sought refuge with Dr. Thomas
W. Evans, whose friendship with her
nud her imperial husband had made him
the most popular of dentists in the capi
tal, a position Justified by his extraor
dinary skill in his profession.
Doctor Evans himself told the story
of the escape when he revisited Phila
delphia, his native place, shortly be
fore his death In 1807.
It was on the night when the in
furiated mob had .fired the Tulleries
that the empress, in disguise, fled for
her life, and, while the royal residence
was burning, made her way to the resi
dence of the doctor, who . was away
from home at the time. When he re
turned he found her in the library.
The doctor assured the empress that
both Mrs. Evons and he realized what
they owed to Nupoleon nnd herself, nnd
nt once offered his hearty co-opcratiou
nt nny cost. He asaured her that his
had unlimited confidence in his servants,
and particularly in his coachman. He
told her to waft in his house whllo he
went out to make arrangements.
In his couch he drove rapidly to the
nearest gat'i, nnd when challenged by
the sentry made his identity known and

in Dentdl Institute at Ponn
i
n little way out of Pnrls. He wns per'-
mined to pas through tne gates. A
little later he returned, and again
stopped and talked to' tho sentry. "
Doctor Evans Tricked Sentry
Doctor Evans t61d the man that he
had rctumed'for medicines arid instru.
mentn, and would baas through the gate
aenln in n short while. He asked the
guard how lone he would be on duty and
was tola until n. little niter midnisnt.
The doctor promised the man "two boxen
of the finest cigars made, as well as a
bottle of the best brandy on earth" If ho
was there when the' doctor returned.
As told by the friend to whom Doc
tor Evans described the event, "with
Eugenie concealed unrter n-sklllfully ar
ranged shawl, the perilous Journey was
attempted. Reaching the sentinel, who
was there ready for his brandy and
cigars, tho doctor leaned out of the
carriage window with the boxes in one
hand nnd the bottle in the other, thus
completely hiding the form of the cm
press. With a cheerful remark to the
soldier the doctor ordered the coachman
to hasten on and the danger for the time
was over. Then began the perilous
drivo for Calais, where the empress
boarded a vessel without attracting sus
picion, and sailed for England."
Doctor" Evans was born in Philadel
phia December 23. 1R23, and died In
Paris November 14. 1807, shortly nfter
returning from his last trip to America.
Ho was born at Fortieth and Spruco
streets, where the Imposing Evans In
stitute now stands as his principal
memorial.
Left Over Mlllian to renn
Doctor Evans graduated from Jeffer
son Medical College. He had studied
dentistry under Dr. John Do Haven
White of Philadelphia, and had prac
ticed here, In Maryland and at Lancas
ter, Pa., before going to France.
He amassed a fortune estimated at
about $4,000,000, but this, was reduced
by litigation over his will and" deprecia
tion in values of real estate which he
owned. About $1,700,000 finally went
to tho University for the Institute.

OF
Englishman Used Too Light a
Barrel In Going Over Falls,
Says Loacb
"BOBBY" MAY REPEAT FEAT
n.v the Associated Press
' Niagara Falls, N. Y.. July 12,-Mllv
ermen were patrolling the Niagara gorge
below the falls today In the hope of re
covering the body of Charles O. Rte
phens, of Bristol, En., who lost his
life yesterday In an attempt to dupli
cate the feats of Mrs. Annie Edson, Tay
lor and Hobby Leach by' going over the
catnract In a barrel.
Pieces of the barrel In which Ste
phens went to his death continued to
float ashore In the eddy on the Canadian
side above the Maid of the Mist land

phens's body failed to appear., Experi

The Btaves of thebarrcl bobbed up

Barrel Too Light, Says Leach
It was Impossible to tell which part
of the cask gave way first under the
force of the IRS-foot drop and the
pounding of ' the "water, but Bobby
Leach, whose' experiences gave his opin

light in all parts.
Leach warned Stephens before the
start that he was doomed to failure, but
the Englishman was confident his eask
was strong enough and refused to listen
to Leach's advice. Leach saw tho start,
but appeared very nervous afterward
nnd refused to go down into the gorge
where the barrel was expected to re
appear. "A steel barrel is the only safe kind,"
said Leach. "If I can have one nlndo
