One of the most interesting per - tonalities of old Paris, France, that are fast disappearing went the way of all flesh last week. It was M. Felix Tournachon, better known as Nader.

He • abandoned medicine for journal- ism, afterwards becoming a cari- caturist, and was in turn attached to the leading political newspapers of lois day.
