"Black," the beloved dog of an Amer
lean lady and gentleman living at Vau
cresson, outside of Paris, during the
summer, having died recently was
buried, says Paris letter, with the full
funeral honors usually accorded to hu-
man beings. The canine pet was placed
in two caskcts-onc of oak, the other
leaden-was then conveyed in a hearse
covered with flowers to Vaucresson
and there buried. The funeral was
followed by the Americans and their
friends, all the mourners being in car
riages. A monument, which cost sixty
pounds sterling, was erected to the
memory of the lost favorite. The ex-
penses of the caskets, the funeral, the
tomb and the memorial amounted to
one hundred pounds sterling. The un-
dertaker who carried out the order was
rather puzzled at first, and mentioned
the matter to o police commissary, who
advised him to get death certificate Of
the dog signed by two witnesses. This
counsel was followed by the Pompes
Funebres official, who was thus able TO
fulfill his contract without any fear Of
interference on the part Of the repro.
sentatives Of the law.
