The second part of tne programme con.
sisted of the operetta of Red Riding Hood"
which was performed with unexpected sue

precision, freshness and spirit, and evoked
merited applause. The characters in the
operetta were sustained by Misses Sarah
Lulley, Ernie Richold, Maize Roze and Mr..
David Moore. Miss Lulley, as Queen, was
dressed in an exquisite court train, and
sang her solos with taste and skill. The
part assigned Maize Rose (Red Riding
Hood), little girl 8 years old, whose sing
ing was as agreeable as her ease and self
possession were remarkable, was finely rem
dered. Ernie Richold assumed the part of
mother very acceptably. Mr.. Moore's wolf
created much amusement.
The fairy ch0ruses were participated IN
by upward of fifty little maidens arrayed
in ali the brilliance of spangled gauze and

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE.
Where the Sun Will be Darken,
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, May 6, is the day on which
occurs the one total solar eclipse for the
year 1883. We shall not see it in this part
of the world; the 'line of totality" will be
wholly in the Pacific Ocean, and south Of
the equator 1t begins and ends at sea-
The starting point is off the east coast of
Southern Australia 1t sweeps across the
Southern Pacific Ocean, but, curiously
enough, ends before it reaches the shores of
the American Continent, off the coast of
Peru. In all that vast sweep the line of
totality very singularly misses all the num-
beIless islands of the Pacific, with the in
significant yet important exception of q
couple of little islets of the Marquesas
group, which are but little more than
coral reefs, namely, Caroline and Flint
Islands. To these solitary little spots in
the wide Pacific, the only possible places in
the path of total shadow for human be-
ings to find q foothold, the scientific
expeditions of various leading nations
have taken their long and winding way,
and there, undisturbed by the annoying
in9uisition of the curious, they have set
up their tents-and their astronomical
instruments. 1t seems strange re-
gion to select for the meeting of
the worlds representatives in the
walks of the highest science; even
many OF the larger and better Islands OF
the Marquesas group have until recent
times been overlooked, and these two little
islets are said to be without inhabitants.
Caroline Island, the largest, is only five
miles in circumference; but it is tropic
islet, sin verdure clad" 1t is in south lati-
tude 90 81, and longitude 1902 25' west /;
or thereabouts. Those two islands, which,
curiously enough, belong to the United
States, not only afford a foothold for the
astronomers, but singularly favorable
spot for the observation of a total eclipse,
for at that point the duration of totality is
expected to be unusually long-about 81
minutes. This is an exceptionally long pc
riod, and it is for what can be gained during
those five and one-half minutes that so much
preparation and expense have been incurred
by tho governments concerned, on both
sides of the Atlantic. The curious fact that
these islets belong to the United States is
unknown to most persons, and is thus ex-
planned. In 1856 Congress passed a law
granting American possession under limited
conditions to the discoverers aud occupants
OF newly found islands containing deposits
Of phosphate guano, lying between 10o
north and 100 south of the equator, and
longitude 1899 and 1902 west. Caroline aud
Flint islands are claimed by Americans un-
der this law.

Jewish Foundations Of Liberty.

Hebrew Leader.
In his Posach sermon, the Rev. Henry =.
Jacobs took occasion to say that, SIN tho holy
volume of Gods Word, where we see for the
first time in the history OF the world, that one
law shall prevail among you and among the
stranger and that the liberty OF which the
people Of this country are so proud Is based
upon the old fundamental principles OF the
Bible" In the same strain the eloquent
preacher went on to eulogize the Passover
feast, which he described as ''the standard
bearer OF the weather.beaten flag, with the
emblazoned inscription OF liberty, which
we have carried ever SINCE" This Is we'll
said. There is not an idea In the modern
code OF a free Republic which ts not
borrowed from the principles Of the
after the exodus from Egypt, by people who
had been the slaves of oppression, and had
sought and found in new land freedom to
worship God according TO the dictates OF their
own conscience. 1t Is q historical fact OF
which every Israellte has reason to be proud,
but which too many forget. The grand Idea
OF the liberty and equality Of man was born In
the bosom Of God, but It found its earliest OK
pressions in the history Of the people who
were ''set on hill" to enlighten the whole
world. Nobly has Judaism done Its task. 1t
has taught nation after nation how best to
build up the State; how best to honor the fam
lily; how best to serve humanity In doing the
will OF God. To have accomplished this mag
nificent task Is a work unequaled by any
other people on earth.
