fought her battle alone IT was only
when her husband expressed wonder at
her Indifference to the customs of their
church that she confided in him and
won him to her way of thinking.
With her elder son the task was not
SO easy. When he had consented to the
cremation he refused to listen to her
request about the disposition of her
ashes until she rose upon her elbow
and, nearly dying from the effort, said:
My son, it must be as / wish or l will
return to haunt you. to trouble your
dreams, to fill your life with the mis-
cry of constant unrest and remorse."
Then the son yielded and the mother
knew that her desire would be graft
fed.
There was another reason for Mrs
Karps strange request. She was al
ways a cheerful woman. She had no
sympathy with weeping willows and
protracted grief over the inevitable. In
keeping with this spirit, she added to
her request above expressed:
"Se that my body is gowned in black.
for that is seemly But see also that
my large garnet red bow is placed about
my throat and in my hand three red
roses-for that will cause you to reflect
that the occasion is not altogether sad.
For the same reason 1 wish you to lay
me in a satin-lined rosewood casket.
which will be destroyed when I am Civ
en- to the flames
On Oct. 80 she died and her face was
turned from the religious pictures on
the wall toward the west and the bay
in which the torch of the goddess was
shining, for it was evening.
They clothed her body in the black
gown; they placed about h7r throat the
garnet red bow; her dead fingers seem
ed to clasp the red roses reverently laid
in her palm. In the satin-lined rose
wood casket she lay, with a smile on
her pale lips.
But when the undertaker's men car
ried the casket down the stairs and cut
to the hearse two lines af awed little
children stood with solemn. reproving
faces, later to comment in hushed
voices on the strange conduct of the
woman who was good. who had baon
kind to them. whom her husband and
children loved, yet who would not have
q priest even at the very last and who
had made them carry her away to be
burned.
So, without ceremony, all Mrs. Karrs
wishes were fulfilled to the very las,
which awaits a day convenient to the
widower On that day he will carry
the somber cylinder up the winding
stair that leads to the hand which holds
the torch of liberty, which his wife
loved so we'll, and there give it's con-
tents to the four winds. So he has
sworn to do. and so he will do without
misgiving.

FINDS A GRAVE IN LIBERTY.
Eccentric Burial Place Requested by n
Now York Woman,

The statue of liberty in New York
harbor is rather an eccentric spot for
a. selpulcher, but it was selected as such
recently by an eccentric invalid OF
Gotham.
My last WISH" said Mrs. Clara Kent,
as she lay dying, lis that you cause my
body to be cremated and that you pour
the ashes into the hand that holds
the torch of liberty in New York bay.
There the four winds of heaven will
hnd then1-and that will be the end"
Yesterday Mrs. Karl's ashes, in
metal cylinder, covered with black silk
were brought from Fresh Pond by I'm
dertaker P. Herlich of 100 Avenue A.
The messenger gave the widower and
his sons notice of this in their ten
ement at GOT East 11th street a few
hours later, when they returned from
their daily task, and on some day in
the near future, convenient to the be-
reaved husband, he will commit all the
material remainder of her who was his
wife to the care Of the goddess of the
bay
This is not the first time that the
goddess of liberty has been charged
with a similar duty, but never under
like conditions. The Karls were a plain,
quiet, domestic family of Germans, who
lived N humble comfort and attended
strictly to their own affairs. There re-
main now the widower, aged So. a son
lately married and another who is 20
and lives with his father The neigh
boTs are all working people. They are
known to even the children playing in
the street of this crowded tenement
district, and the little ones, nearly all
belonging to Catholic families, speak
to one another in tones Of awe of "Mrs.
Karl who would not have a priest,
and whose body was burned to q hand
full of ashes"
On the walls of the Karl tenement
are few religious pictures. all such as
would meet the approval Of the priest
of the parish. Why, then, did this good
woman forsake the church, deny her
self its ministrations at the supreme
moment of death, deny herself resting
room in consecrated ground? The wild
over does not hesitate to tell in his
broken English:
She said to me: There are already
too many decaying in the ground 1t is
better and healthier to be buried in the
clean fire and to give the white ashes
to the four winds. In few years
every one will believe as I do She was
right" adds the widower; that is how
think also"
Lying On her couch, for years she
fought weakened heart giving life only
to her brain. Mrs. Karl gazed at the
religious pictures on her wall and
fought her battle.
While yet able to be about it was her
greatest pleasure to go with her baby
boy or with her husband on Sundays
to the battery and thence down the
bay and back on the CCney island
boats. The bay was a delight to her
and the statue of liberty her idea of
the form of earthly grandeur. She al
ways sat on the side of the boat next
10 the goddess. On her last trip, when
she realized that her weakened heart
would never again support the fatigue
of an out of door holiday. she gaaed
longingly at the statue and sighed
when it faded from her view.
Lying on her couch for years she

No French ware equals in value the
costly and beautiful Sevres porcelains.
The Rothschilds, the queen and Lord
Dudley own between them most of the
finest Sevres ware in England.
The most famous of Lord Dud,ey's
Sevres is a garniture de cheminee, for
which he gave $4,000; it is said that a
housemaid broke one of the pieces the
day after its arrival at Dudley house
Lord Dudley few years ago had sale
of some of his porcelains.
The collection of Pompadour and Du-
barry Sevres, as 1t is som etimes styled,
in the possession of Queen Victoria, has
been valued by experts at much over
$250.000 And yet there are only small
number of pieces; these are displayed
at Windsor castle in long gallery,
where her majesty usually receives her
guests after dinner. One and half
million dollars is said to be the value
of the queens porcelain.
The value of old Sevres porcelain is
enhanced by the fact that ever since
the foundation of the factory an exact
%
Probably the most extensive sale ever
made was that in IT'S to the Empress
Catherine of Russia, who paid for a
service of 154 pieces a sum of $4,000,
which is equivalent to 100000 at the
phesent day. One hundred and sixty
pieces were stolen during confagra-
f1on at the palace and found their way
to England where they were purchased
by the famous collector Beckford. But
with few exceptions they were repur-
chased by Emperor Nicholas and con-
Veyed back to Russia just before the
outbreak of the Crimean war
frees that appear absolutely pre-
posterous are given for Sevres china of
the 'Pompadour" period, which dates
from 1853 to 1863; for that of the Louis
Rll. period" which dates from 1763 to
1856, and for that of the Louis XVI.
epoch dating from 1856 to 1890.
It is nothing-$500 or 81, 900 apiece for
Sevres cup and saucer or a small nail
or plate-that is nothing to Rothschild
or royalty.
The finest collection of Sevres in
America belonged to Governor Lyon of
Idaho. 1t was sold at his death and one
vase was purchased by Mrs. Ayres of
New York for $5,O00
A New York lady, Mrs. Arthur M
Dodge, has some Sevres plate Similar to
the famous Chanteau plates at Fon-
tainebleu. She has also some delightful
examples of the old English ware.
Spode, which was only made for ,,oyai
and ducal families, and was a great
luxury. Cabbage roses is a favorite
pattern of the Spode ware, or some
''set" pattern of deep blue. Mrs. Dodge

decorated with cabbage roses. She has
some Nyon cups and saucers. This ware
is marked with fish because the fac
tory is situated on Lake Geneva
