given in regard to the headstones and the
epitaphs they shall bear, as well as minute
details of matters of less importance.
OF the two friends who are to share the
grave with the remains of Mrs. Perichou,
one is still living. No one seems to know
why these two of the many who formed
the circle of friends of the deceased should
be singled out, and If Mrs. Perichon were
living her friends say she would declare ii
to be no ones business but her own. The
two are j. Bonde, a Frenchman, who died
about five years ago, and whose body now
lies in the Odd Fellows cemetery, and
William Weissmann, a German. The lat
ter Is seventy years of age and is now an
inmate of the Soldiers Home at Santa
Monica. He has been notified of the pro-
vision In the will of his old friend.
The executors of the will are Eugene
RObinet and Pierre Dumont When the
expenses of the burial have been settled,
and one hundred dollars paid to each of
four old friends now in France, the will
provides that the quartet mentioned shall
receive the residue. But the money is not
TO be paid to them unless the executors
are convinced that they are deserving.
Every wish and whim of the deceased is
being carried out TO the letter. The re-
mains of Bonde will have to be disinterred
and placed in a new coffin: the headstones
will be very costly, and, besides the ex-
Pen-es now being incurred, the funeral of

How to Lure Big Trout.


Fred. who had often been here before,
wanted big front and knew how to get
them He cast very near where did but gave
the little fellows no chance. So rapidly
was his single fiy trollsd across the water
that in few minutes h., had collected the
whole school away from the spot where he
expected to find big trout His fy was
so large that laughed when he mounted 1t,
telling him he would find salmon q few
hundred miles farther north in Canada, but
rather scarce in York state. But my ban
ter was unheeded. Fred knew these wa
ters better than j did, the Pennsylvania
streams, where, many years ago, / learned
TO cast a fly, and where such a hy as ne
used would be considered q bad want of
Judgment. \ dozen times he swiftly
trailed his fiy across the water, getting
rise at every cast, but not letting them
have il. Twenty feet away to the right he
seemed TO have drawn all the small trout
in that hole. Then, lengthening his line,
he cast again, and slowly drew his fy with
a quivering snake-like motion. There was
q rise of a magnificent ti-h, but Fred struck
too quickly and missed him, though 1
thought the fish felt the steel
"Wait n moment, Fred, said /.
"Change your fly and you will get that big

''Not a bit of it," yelled John. Let
him have il now quick"

well be considered is the precedent which
it would establish. If Washington is tc

the encampment is to be held next year

N. Bratescu, of Bucharest, one of the
well-known men of the Rumanian capital,
has little respect, evidently, for the par
iamentsry representatives of his country.
On the day following his recent election to
the Rumanian house of deputies, NJ.
Msrghilomann, also a member of the cabi-
net. was talking with NJ. Bratescu and
other politicians. n. Msrghilomann was
elated at his own success and that of his
party. '1 believe" he said. proudly turn
ing to Bratescu, "that the people of Buch-
srest would elect my horse Intrepid a
member of the house if should allow him
to be candidate" "You are mistaken,
SIR" promptly replied Bratescu. eve do
not elect horses; we only elect asses"
Look out for 'em. The new issue of sill

skillfu1ly counterfeited. One of the imi-
tstions 10 thus described: The medallion
on the diverse was we'll executed, but the
reverse showed, on comparison with a
genuine coin, much cosrseness in the work.
The coin had been produced by mold,
and the inferiority of the work was shown

milling, the scroll which bears the inscrip-
tion "E Pluribus Unum," the wings of the
eagle and the stars above the eagle. A
curious feature was that the date, 1882" !"
was in thinner figures than in the genuine
coin, although otherwise the work ON the
counterfeit was cosrser. The ring of the
false coin is good, but there is a greasy
feeling to it and the color is slightly
leaden.
The secretary of the Glasgow Master
Masons' association, Mr.. MacGregor, gave
an interesting account before the English
Labor commission the other day of the
system adopted in his city for the preven-
ton of trouble between masters and men
in the building trade. 1t appears that a
joint committee of masters and men was
appointed in 1884, and that it meets in
April of each year. 1t consists of seven
employers, repres enting the body of which
Mr.. MacGregor is secretary, and seven
workmen, representing the Operatives
association; and these fourteen settle all
questions relating to the trade and any
disputes that may have arisen. The plan
is said to have worked admirably. There
is no friction, and there have been no
strikes or threats of any. The committee
decides all points connected with the
trades, fixes tine standard rate of wages,
regulates the conditions of employment,
and also the hours of labor. The obvious
good sense of this arrangement, and the
practical illustration of its feasibility,
made great impression upon the commit
tee, and some large employers of London
labor who were present wanted to know
why some similar plan could not be adopt
ed in the great English cities.

HER STRANGE WILL.
Her Face Watched for Fifteen Days
After Death for Sigus OF Life.

After Death for Sigus OF Life.
[From the San Francisco Examiner.I
There is an attendant at the Odd Eel
lows cemetery whose duty it is TO enter
vault there at brief intervals and look into
the face of the dead. He has been doing
this for several days past, and his vigil
will continue till fifteen days shall have
come and gone. He is performing this
work in obedience to wish expressed in
the will of the late Mrs. Augustine Peri
chon, a French woman who died in this
city on Monday last. Mrs. Perichon en-
tertained a fear that it would be her lot to
be buried alive. How she came to dread
this is told in the story of her life.
She was born in Orleans, France, in
1926. In 1S4S, when she was but twenty
two years of age, she came TO THE coun-
try, and soon thereafter was married in
New York city. From early childhood
she loved to read tales of romance and fic
ton, but nothing had a greater fascination
for her than a story of some poor unfor-
tuuata. whose fate il was to be buried
while in a trance. 1t is said that she ac-
cumulated the printed announcements of
all the most horrible instances of this kind
that have been recorded during the last
half century. In 1854 she crossed the
continent to San Francisco.
Two years after her arrival here she OBJ
| tanned q divorce from her husband, but
soon married again. Her second husband
| died in 1858. Besides few personal eff
| fects she has left money and jewelry to the
| value of nearly six thousand dollars, but
she has no relatives either in America or
| France to inherit from her, although dur
| ing the last few years of her life she spent
much time and money in trying to trace
| some one descended from either her father
/ or her mothers line.
| She directed in her will that after the
doctors pronounced her dead her body
should be placed in acofin and then in the
vault of the Odd Fellows' cemetery. The
lid of the coffin should be so arranged
that her face could be seen, and some one
should be paid literally to visit the vault
and look upon it at brief intervals. This
was to be kept up for fifteen days, during
which time preparations were to be made
to place the body in its last resting place
in the same cemetery
Some years ago Mrs. Perichon purchased
q plot in,the cemetery, and her will directs
that a vault be built in 1t suitable for the
reception of three bodies-her own ano
those of two friends. The exact dimen
sions of this grave are given, and an iror

IN HARD LUCK.
SAMUEL SMITH GETS PUMNELED BADLY
BY MISTAKE.

He is Taken for Another Man by a
oolored Trio Who Prooesd to Do
Him Up.
Samuel Smith, an employe at the Uui-
versal Machine shop is ready TO testify
that he is the most unlucky man in town.
On Monday night he was given a most
unmerciful drubbing by "Big" Ben Bris-
bin and coterie of colored females who
mistook him for another man. As the
story goes Mr.. Smith was working all
night and about 10 o'clock he grew hungry
and shut down the engine to take lunch.
He concluded to slip out and get some
liquid refreshments and as he was about
to re-enter the shop, badly frightened
man ran up to and lodged behind him.
Mr.. Smith did not understand the strange
proceedings and in another moment q
large brick bat came flying through the
air from Seventh street and struck him
on the shoulder. This rather reused his
ire and he started out TO see who IL was
that was thus making him his target. The
man who had thrown the rock walked
down Seventh street and entered the yard
VI O5h DIlSblu dLu lOllOWGu anu
taking him by the shoulder demanded the
| reason for his hitting him with the stone
Ben and two good solid coIored women
| Immediately pitched into Mr.,
| Smith, thinking he was man
who Ben had just been chasing and whom
it is alleged had used bad language to
Ben's wife. One OF the women took
Samuel by the throat and nearly choked
the life out of him while Ben endeavored
to do execution with brick and the other
woman broke a chair over his head
Finally the women discovered that he was
not the right man and they desisted and
told Ben to quit but he only redoubled his
energy and it was going hard with Mr.
Smith, His cries brought a policeman
and he was rescued. He has filed an afH
davit against Big Ben and he will be
brought up for assault. After hostilities
had been transferred from himself to Mr.
Smith the original instigator of the
trouble embraced the opportunity to ge
away as quietly as possible. The flgh
was a terrible one and one of the porcl
| posts was knocked kown in the fracas.

Harrison Is in the race is no friend of

rison that Mckinley was talking to.
His name was mentioned at the head of

friends decide at any time to withdraw
his name in favor of any one else. There
is no doubt however that number Of
votes will be cast for Mckinley on the
frat ballot in spite of his protest. Much
anxiety was felt this morning before the
committee on credentials met, as to the
probable action of that body.
Would the majority order postpone
ment and delay the nomination. No
body was able to say whether or not the
subcommittee in charge of the papers of
contested delegations had got them in
shape for the consideration OF credentials,

committee stood between the two candi-
dates and partisans of neither side were
inclined to make emphatic claims of con-
troll. Blaine men were not pleased with

As soon as the members assembled some
one proposed Cogswell for chairman.

ested people on the ground that McKin'
