Rock Islands Dance Dilemma.

The thriving city of Rock Island is still
more or less divided against itself on the
subject of the charity ball, which Is to be
held Thursday night. ITO dance or not
TO dance. " Is the question agitsting many
breasts. and the volume of argument and
oratory being advanced on the subject
seems TO ensure a good attendance at the
ball, many persons who would have 9th

something that has been denounced as
desperately wicked.
The last sermon delivered on the SUBJ
ject Is perhaps stronger than any of its
predecessors. 1t was preached Sunday
night in the Broadway Presbyterian
church of that town by Rev. W. 8. Mar
auis, and the reverend gentlemen, when he
had warmed up to his subject. employed
language which can not be characterized

as dangerous to the health. to the holi-
ness of body, a violation OF christian con-
sistency, inconsistent with christian char
ity. and having passion and nothing else
40 Tue true UdbiB Vi It's
The modern dance has rarely under>
gone more soathing srraignment than
this. but it was when Rev. Mr. Marquis
proceeded to describe the scene at an or
binary dance-toward or after the mid
night hour, presumaby-that he fairly
surpassed himself in his denuncistory
eloquence.
Here follows the same passage the
Chicago Herald referred to.
This is indeed lameptable picture, and
II 1t were faithful one OF the social
dance of today, the popular diversion Of
society, could not be tolerated. 1t is to
be suggested, however, that among those
who claim responsibility for the institu-
ton against which Rev. MIR. Marquis has
arrayed himself so uncompr omisingly,
there will be found some one who will
assert that the sort of dancing he has de.
scribed here IL very far removed from that
in which reputable society INDUCES: so far
removed indeed, that no decent person
would attend dance of that kind. The
upholders of dancing In Rock Island will
doubtless claim that Rev. Marquis has
gone too far. but as he Is. of course. con-
scieutious in his attack on what he re-
CARDS as an evil, he will secure his full
share of credit from those who know him
10 be so.
1t Is not necessary TO express direct
opinion today OF the evil or innocence of
dancing. But 1t may be said that people
who dance in the fashion and with emo
lions described by Rev. Marquis should
only be admitted to the charity ball az
spectators. and should be driven out with
q club on their slightest attempt to secure
o partner. Chicago Journal.
