Adah Isaacs Menken, the great American actress of her generation, born 100 years ago last June, was baptized Adelaide McCord, her father, John McCord, a Spanish Jew, and her mother a native of Prance. Her first marriage at 17 was a miserable failure; her second, at 21, short-lived but genuinely happy. She kept her second husband’s name, Isaac Menken, to the end, adding an “s” to the Isaac; altered her own name of Adelaide to the Jewish Adah, and, most striking tribute of all, she adopted his faith and died an ardent Jewess. Preserved Spirits. The South Sea Solomon Islanders endeavor to keep the soil Is of the daad with them, in their own parlors. When a death occurs they angle for the ghost of the late-departed with a sort of little fishing rod. and when they catch It put the soul or ghost In a case, along with some bodily relic, In j a comer of the room.
