NRw YORK, Feb. l3.--ReV. Wm H.
Ford, OF the old Brunswick Reform
church, of Williamsburg, Is preaching a
series OF sermons on the wlckedness Of
bar-rooms and dance halls, OF which
there are a great many within small
radius OF hts church. He Is In the habit
OF discarding his clerical apparel, and
clothed In a sober check and slouch hat,
he visits the various places OF public
amusement In the eastern dlstict OF
Brooklyn. Last evening the Schwaeb-
ascher Saengerbund held It's sixteenth
annual masquerade ball at Turn hall, on
Meserole street. Somebody told
Mr.. Ford that II be wanted a
good subject for his next weeK's
sermon he should be present
at the ball. He was told that the open
and fiagrant amours OF the French ball
were nothing compared to what he would
see at the Turn Hall Mr. Ford put on
his slouch hat and went To the ball.
Note book In hand, he went around the
dancing floor and inspected the bar-room
downstairs. He saw "A party Of gentle
men sitting at table To his great dis

crept up behind the group and put her
arms round the neck Of one OF them. In
order that the illustration to his sermon
might be- more complete Mr.. Ford took
the trouble to learn the name of the gen
tleman who had been so saluted The
probabilities are that the sermon will not
be preached. The gentleman was Mayor

were Police Captain Ennis aud some OF
