dow 1t with the same import that was
attached to it in years gone by,yet does
the day of atonement fasten and encha1n
almost every Israelitish heart, because
it is based upon modesty and humility,
and it's spirit is elevated above all ter
estrial objects.
Over thirty-five centuries have elaps-
ed since the day of atonement was com
manded by God to Moses, and to this
very day it is observed by nearly all that
are born in the faith of Israel, not as
cold ceremonial, but as If life itself de-
pended upon the observance of the day
with all its rigorous and strict exercises;
not for short time, but for twenty-four
hours, and when, at it's close. Israeis
watchword CShamang YeroaPO is re-
cited. when the (Shopher cornet is
sounded, spirit communes with spirit,
in the hope and in feeling that some
good has been accomplished. And not
only is it in the synagogue or temple
alone where the day is solemnly OBJ
served, but wheresoever the Jew is To-
Gated Even in the smallest hamlet, re-
mote from all Jewish associations, there
the family will assemble in their dwell
ings and with equal piety will honor the
solemn day. The invalid in his sick
room, the Jewish mariner plowing the
vast deep, the Israelitsh soldier upon the
battlefield. all will know that it is the
"Yom Hakippurim' day of atonement.
He will fast and earnestly pray that it
may be commissioned as a great ben
eft to Israel and to all humanity.

YOM-HA KIPPURIM.
Celebration of the Most Solemn Day in
the Jewish Calendar.

The day of atonement to be inaugu-
rated at sundown this evening is the
most solemn day in the Jewish calendar.
II is set apart entirely for fasting pray
ing and repenting. 1t is founded upon
Biblical authority. "On the tenth day
of the seventh moon is the day of atone
ment; it shall be to you a day of holy
convocation; and ye shall affiict your
souls (by fasting). Ye shall do no work
on that same day, for it is
day of atonement, on which
ye shall be pardoned before
the Eternal, your God. 1t shall be
to you a complete day of rest. On the
evening of the ninth day shall We be-
gin and keep your resting day until the
evening of the tenth" Qeviticus xiii,
27)
During the period of existence of the
holy temple in Jerusalem. this day of
atonement was a day of great solemn
ity; the whole nation was fasting and
praying. The holy temple was attended
by priests. who were engaged in their
duties, and the Levites, who were occu-
pied in singing praises to the Almighty.
The high priest had very sacred du-
ties to perform on this day. He had to
offer the sacrifices, as commanded In
the Holy Bible. He had to pray for him
self and his family cud for the whole
compensation before the altar Of the
most high God.

A TOUGH OFFICIAL
Dolores Duron, More Sinned Against
Than Shining. Goes to Whittier

Uncle Sans officials are supposed to
be the very pink of polteness and pro-
priety, and the deputies in the sheriff's
office models of urbanity and chivalry.
That such supposition is not always
warranted simply means that there is
black sheep in every flock. A somewhat
curious thing came up yesterday before
Judge Shaw that well illustra tes the
truth of the old adage.
young Mexican girl named Dolores
Duron, was brought from Santa Moni-
ca by her father, who desired to have
her sent to Whittier as an incorrigiblc
The girls mother is dead and the little
home in Santa Monica canyon is not so
situated as to permit of the girl living in
a very high moral atmosphere. But
none the less were the facts as develop
ed somewhat astounding.
A week ago last Sunday night Dolores
was out in the canyon with severa!
young fellows, when Pete Badillo, who
is United States deputy marshal and
also deputy sheriff, came up and pull
ing out his revolver took the girl and
led her away. The young fellows, hav-
ing the consciousness that their inten-
tions toward the girl We're none too good
made no demur for they assumed that
Badillo acted as he did in his official ca
pacity. AS it turned out, however, this
model deputy simply took the girl away
to serve his own evil purpose. He led
her down to the beach and there, with
his pistol still in his hand, forced the
girl to submit to him. AS if that were
not bad and despicable enough, he want
ed to hand the girl over to a kindred
rufiian. but she seized the opportunity
offered and ran screaming away.
That night Miguel Duron for the first
time got an inkling of what was going
on with the result that he brought his
daughter into court yesterday and she
was ordered committed to Whittier
Ihe girl Dolores is slightly over II
years OF age. Her life has been such that
1T is not contended that her morals will
compare with the snow bank in purity.
but the line must be drawn somewhere.
The double-decked deputy who forcibly
assaulted her placed himself in the same
category as other vermin and deserves
like treatment.
