FUNERAL ODDITIES.

A court milliner of Queen Victoria
who died some years ago left strict in.
functions that her body should be en-
tirely wrapped in point lace, and her
shroud cost several thousand dollars.
Margaret Coosins, who was buried in
Kent, England, ordered her body to be
attired in scarlet satin and placed in a
mahogany coffin, lined with green silk,
with a glass over the entire casket,
which she directed should be set up on
end beside tall clock in the parlor
of her residence during the funeral.
Sir Charles Hastings, the famous In
dian soldier, ordered that after his
death his body should be wrapped in
anything that would hold it together,
buried in an open filed and the soil
around planted with acorns SO that he
might render last service to his coun-

Lord Camelford, a famous duelist of
the last century in England, directed
that his body should be taken to Lake
St. Lampierre, where there were trees
under which he had spent many years
in contemplation of the sublime seen
cry that surrounded him. He re-
quested that the middle tree should
be taken up until his body was deposit
ed under it, when it should be replanted
all of which was done.

Friends Do Not Believe Reichman
Was There.

Washington, April 3.--(Spl. )-Captain
Carl Reichman's friends are astonish-
ed at the report that he was in COM
mand of the Beers who ambushed the
British near Bloemfontein. They re-
fuse to believe it.
The war department has received no
report recently from Captain Reich
man. He Is still officially connected
with the United States government and
the act attributed to him might bring
on grave diplomatic difficulties.
The report was quoted to Adjutant
General Corbin
''Such thing as this" said the Gen
ernl, ''is ipconceivahle. / cannot be-
lieve that Captain Reichman has done
this without first forwarding resig-
nation to the war department. have
been asked several times today wheth-
er he had resigned. cannot believe
that he would take part in the Trans
vaal battles without first leaving the
United States Army"
