DUMAS LAST WISHES
Directs That His Funeral Be a
Quiet One.
To Be Buried in His Ordinary Work
ing Attire, without Military
HOnOrs- Theatres Closed.

The following cable account of Alexan-
der Dumas last wishes appear in the New
York Herald:
Paris, November 2S, 1S95.-M. Alexandra
Dumas, whose death was announced last
evening" left instructions that his funeral
should be a quiet one, without military
honors or speeches at the grave. He also
expressed the desire that his body should
be dressed in the loose flannel working
costume he frequently wore and lie upon
the bed upon which he died until the
time should arrive for burial. The gov
eminent will consult with the family OF
M Dumas today in regard to arrange
ments for the funeral.
The family Of M. Dumas have received
a large number of kilograms Of sympathy
and coincidence, among them one from
former Empress Eugenie Premier Bo r.
geois sent a message saying: ''The
death of Alexandra Dumas is source OF
grief to all those who read and think
In assuring his family of my personal
sympathy / express the sentiments VIII ch
the entire nation entertains upon recelv'
6g the news of the death OF the master
contemporary of the thcater."
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE WILL.
The physicians who attended M. Dumas
n his illness announce that the great
author succumbed to a spasm affecting
the respiratory organs The will Of M.
Dumas contains besides the instructions
already mentioned as TO how his body
should be laid out and finally inferred
an expression of his desire that he should
be buried in his ordinary working attire
It is stated that the funeral will be a
purely civic one without any religious c.re
mony.
The Coincide Franchise will be closed
on the day of the funeral, which will
probably take place on Sunday. 1t is
believed that the entire expense Of the
funeral will be betrayed by the state.
All the Paris journals analyze the life
work Of NJ. Dumas. and are unanimous
in expressing the conviction that In his
death the theater has suffered an
irreparable loss, while French literature
mourns the departure of the man who
had done so much to make the French
national spirit shine in foreign lands.
The Journal des Debats says. M
Dumas was man of extraordinary
| genius and the greatest man our theatei
has seen since Corneille, Racine ant
| Moliere"
