Dear Garmt, no, you're right. The original titles which I indicated in my ms, must have been suppressed, and I didn't realized it!! The translator was going so far to give the french title of an american journal!!!

The English titles, here they are:

Anonymous (pp. 36-38): "How Verne Writes. Great Novelist Talks of His Daily Life and Habits to a Post Correspondent." (Washington Post)
"Visit to Jules Verne. How the Famous Romancer Writes His Weird Stories. Master of the Imagination." (Boston Sunday Post)

Anonymous (pp. 38-40): "Jules Verne Tells of His Novel about US. The Scene Begins at Chicago and Continues Through All he States and Territories - Romance called 'Last Will of an Eccentric'"

Anonymous (pp. 40-41): Genial Jules Verne at Home. The Great Author is Devoted to Children, and They to Him" (in: Our Boys & Girls. A Little Paper for Young People)

The title of this text (pp. 340-345) is: "Un après-midi chez M. Jules Verne" and has been published for the first time in: Le Gaulois, no.5645, october 28, 1895, pp. 1-2

By the way: the first SHERARD-interview (1894) has been translated by Dehs under the title "'Der grosse Verdruss meines Lebens.' Jules Vernes eigener Lebensbericht" in:

Heinrich Pleticha (ed.): Jules Verne Handbuch. Stuttgart: VS Verlagshaus Stuttgart 1992, pp. 61-74

This important text was publihed for the first time not in january 1994, but June, 25, in 1893 in several american journals:
under the title "Jules Verne. The Most Widely Read ans the Best Known of French Authors. Where and How he lives" (The Constitution, Atlanta)
It was printed the same day in: Pioneer Press (St. Paull), Inquirer (Philadelphia) and, 7/22/1893 in Evening News (Washington).

Cheers,
Volker
