The Sinuigc CoiMliirt of a Ita in
itio re itrl.
rsUlimore Amci enn.
A hansome oung ladv, about 25
years of age, who lives in the north
western section ot tne city, on a
recent morning walked into tne
undertaking establishment of
Evans & Spenee. corner ot Balti
more and Exeter streets, and was
let by "Mr. Snence. i. bhe was
handsomely attired in a dark dress
and bodice. Her conversation was
particular!' bright and flowing
i ne ladv alter being ottered a seat
stated that she desired to make
arrangements for the burial of a
ladv friend who was not vet dead,
but woo was expected to die. She
finally asked to lie allowed to see
some samples and was accommo-
i.i i . 1 . , . . :
uaieu. uurinji ue couvertauoii
she said : "How would you like to
y mer ;
You are not dead," remarked
Mr. Spenee, with surprise.
"Yes, I am; but vou seel can
talk. The docters can do nothing
for me, and 1 have been thinking
of this in a serinn v av for several
months." She finally requested
to measured live towx and one-half
inches, or at least would take that
size -asket. While . walking
around she said she determined to
placed in a casket and buried. Her
family has a private lot in one of
the prominent cemeteries, but she
. . 1 -
am not care to ouneu witn ai y
ceremony, and more particularly
desired a private interment, with
no one as a witness but the under
taker and his assistants, sdie
wanted no shroud or flowers, and
was willing to pay any undertaker
$500 who would carry out her
wishes.
. Mr. Spence showed her a me
tallic casket -which seemed to strike
her fancy. Standing alongside of
the heavy receptrcle, she, in a
pleasant way, said it was just her
size. She finally asked Mr. Spence
now long she would have to re
main in the casket before death,
and he told her it would take
about five hours. This seemed
out a moment to her, and she
jaid she w ould be willing to stand
the imprisonment providing a
guaranty would be given that
death would come in this time.
The lady was anxious for the per
formance to take place to-morrow,
and was told to retnrn at 3 o'clock
vesterday afternoon, when the
final arrangements would be made.
In the meao time Mr. Spence in
