CAN GET OUT OF GRAVE.
Man Who Feared Premature Burial
Invented Safety Vault

Williams%ort, Pa. Dec. 16.-In the
vault which he invented and built as l
safeguard against premature burial.
John NJ Pursel was laid to rest.
While the widow and mourners stood
around the quaint wall of stone masonry
the pail bearers slowly showed the coffin
into an iron compartment just large
enough to receive it. The coffin lid was
not screwed down, and Immediately
craftsmen placed a covering of steel
over the opening. This head was bolted
and cemented fast in such a manner
that 1t could be removed from the out
side only by means of violent force.
Should the inmate revive, however, he
can unfasten the door of the marrow
house" by manipulating combina ton
lock on the inner side and gain his free
doSsl.
Mr.. Pursel died from stroke of apo
plexy Thursday morning at the age OF
% years. Neither his physician nor the
members of his family entertained a
doubt that life was extinct, and ye.
every precaution that the deceased had
stipulated in life was observed to pre-
vent his being buried alive. The body
was not embalmed; the customary tests
were applied, and the remains We're
watched carefully day and night. for 90
hours. but no sign of returning anima-
ton was noticed.
Finally, when the coffin was placed in
the vault, the utmost pains were taken
to make sure that the mechanism of tho
door was in perfect working order
For years Mr.. Pursel was haunted by
the dread of being buried alive aud left
to the most horrible of fates. HI made
an exhaustive collection of newspaper
clippings or the subject and devoted
years of his life to personal investigation.
Two years ago he visited several crema-
tories with the view of arranging for the
burning of his body after DEATH but to
this his wife and family objected Then
! he conceived the idea of building a vault
which would admit of egress in case of
the resuscitation of a supposed corpse.
With the aid of his son. Thomas, he
built such q tomb in Grandview cerne-
terry this city. The body of it is of solid
stone masonry and it fits into the side
of hill.
Five compartments of cast iron were
inserted horizontally, one for each mem
Der of Mr.. Pursel's family. Each cham
Der is shaped similar to a coffin and is
open at the outer end. A small stack car
ries all gases from the tomb. and a per-
feet system of sewerage provides for the
carrying away of moisture.
All the steel doors. which are to cover
the compartments. are fitted with com
bination locks of Mr.. Pursel's invention.
Should he or the occupant of any of the
other chambers return to life the work
ing of the combination from within would
loosen the head and give freedom.

TO OPEN MONDAY.
Chart for de Lussan and Other
Concerts Nearly Ready.

The Christmas holidays this year
give promise of being the gayest in the
history of the city. All forms of enter
tainment are being provided and nearly
everyone win have many pleasurable
events crowded into the time from now
till New Years.
One Of the entertainments which will
prove of interest during that time is the
engagement of Mile. ZelIe de 1usSan 10
appear in song recital at the Auditorium
on the evening of Friday, December 26
The offer of the Topeka Choral society
to sell season tickets admitting the hold
er to the entertainment of Mile. De LUIS
san AND the four other entertainments
which Sce to follow during the winter,
at a greatly reduced price is meeting
with favor and the indications point to
an exceptionally large audience.
The sale of season tickets will cease
Saturday evening. December 20 The
chart for reserved seats will open at
Stansfeld's drug store the following
Monday morning at o'clock Numbers
will be given to those who are in line 1t
o'clock. The general public. or those
who buy tickets for just this one enter
tainment, will have to wait until the
following morning to reserve seats.
The price for single admissions to the
De Lussan concert has been placed at
30 and IS cents and $1.00. The seats at
the other entertainments will cost the
same. Therefore the economy of buying
q season ticket Tor SZ.0O winch Will en-
title the holder to one of the best seats
a ell Of the five entertainments is read
lily apparent.
Until Saturday evening the season
tickets may be secured from James
Lacey at Halls book store or from t. ].
Anderson at the Commercial club. The
holder of a season ticket may reserve
the same for the five entertainments at
the time the seats for De Lussan are
reserved.
The question of the worth of the De
Lussan song recital is well established.
The privilege of seeing and hearing the
greatest soprano and the most beautiful
singer on the lyric stage is not often
accorded to cities of the size of Topeka,
a fact that seems to be thoroughly ap
preciated, if the demand for seats to the
recital may be taken as sign.
Mile. De Lussan's tour of the United
States in song recital has been one con-
tinued ovation so far this season. The
early part of the season has been spent
exclusively in the east. and the eastern
press has been full of praise for her
singing. Her record as an opera star
in nearly all of the principal roles in the
Maurice Grau Metropolitan Opera COM
pany is too well known to need repeti-
ton.

GRANT, IDOL OF HIS MEN.
Effect of the Massive Tomb on the Old
Veterans.

The simple dignity of the imposing
granite pile erected along Riverside
Drive as a last resting place for all.that
was mortal of Ulysses s. Grant, is per-
haps its chief charm to the hundreds
of persons, who with DOTTED hats and
hushed voices, daily visit it.
The impression one receives on enter
ing the great doors is a feeling of rev.
erent awe, which never leaves until the
open air is reached again
This was illustrated when an old SOL
der who had fought with the great
general nobbled into the tomb the other
day, remained with bowed head gazing
a the great sarco2hagus with its single
ornament of a bunch of roses, and who
finally hobbled out as he had come. He
paused as he left and with tears run
ming down his cheeks exclaimed:
Il felt as if l was in the presence of
the Almighty in therei / fought with
him clear through to AppomattOx and
he always seemed like a great man, a
leader. a general. But it's different now
In there he seems like a god
The broken old soldier spoke what
many have felt during a visit to the
tomb. Grant has almost ceased to be a
reality. He is a god, war god. to the
Americans. who fought with him. and
the feeling is passing to the generation
of today.-New York Mail and Express.
