His Antics Nearly Gave One Man an

Zone day last spring." said a local the

to take him to a curio shop where he

Would you allow me to see it in my
hands, asked Fleming.
"'Certainly,' said the curio man and
lifted it out of the case with the greatest
delicacy and care.
How very interesting remarked
Fleming, turning it from side to side,
and then all of sudden it slipped
through his fingers. He made a series
of frantic clutches, tossing it to and fro
and keeping it in the air by apparently
pure miracle until he finally grabbed
it when it was within a couple of inches
of the floor. During this breathless per-
formance the proprietor stood petrified
with horror, and at each fresh slip he
gave an involuntary shrek. When he Sc

WAS NOT AN ACTRESS.

Thurston's Bride Never Had Profess
sional stage Career.
Washington, Nov. 25.-The name of
Mrs. John M. Thurston, formerly Miss
Lola Purman, having been mentioned
in connection with the stage, her friends
say it can be truthfully said that she
has never been upon the professional
boards. For the last two years Miss
Purman has been living with her par
ents in this city. William j. Purman,
the father of Mrs. Thurston, said that
his daughter was formerly married to
Walter b. Trip, a professor of elocu-
ton in Boston. The marriage was not
a happy one, and resulted in a separa-
ton, Miss Purman securing a divorce
and having her maiden name restored.
He added that Mr.. Southwick, Miss
Hornick, now with the Frohmans. Mr..
Trip and Mrs. Trip, nowS Senator

DAILY thought it best that husband and
wife should not be members of his
company, so Mr.. Tripp remained be-
hind, eventually Joining William H.
Crane. Mrs. Trip never appeared in
fngiaho except on one occasion, at
tratford-on-Avon and the atmosphere
tof the stage soon disillusionized her, so
that within two months from the time
lof her leaving America she returned to
I the United States. decided upon a do
Imestic rather that a professional life.
Mr. Purman said further that Mrs.
Thurston was never an instructor in a
college of oratory, nor had she been a
Kindergarten teacher in this city. Miss
IPurman was a pupil in the Boston Col
lege of Oratory, and as a pupil she APP

what Yom Kippur Means,

According to the behests Of Judaism
actual guilt cannot be converted into
tight by any act OF forgiveness or atone
nent. human or divine. The definition of
the Hebrew word kofar, which is the
coot of kippurim, conveys quite n differ
ent meaning. 1t denotes covering up"
10 ''ovellay." 1t means that by carrying
out resolutions of repentance into prac.
tice man will be able to "cover up" o
multitude OF sins. This is the rational
idea of Judaism regarding the expiation
of sins. This is the cornerstone of saliva

When Judge Person convened the
grand jury in this city Thursday to in

legislature the people believed from the
rumors which had long been afloat that
there was occasion for the investiga-

would indict men of so much promi-
hence.
The testimony laid before the jury
has been of the most sensational char
acter, and while but one subject has
been thoroughly investigated. sufficient;
glimpses of other forms of crookedness
have been obtained to indicate most
ideplorable state of official corruption.
The grand jury will now rest from lis
labors The people have tasted blood
and the demand is almost unanimous
for a thorough investigation OF the acts
of the last legislature. Although the
