THE PURIM BALL.
1t Proves o Brilliant and Delightful
Affair.

The grand purim ball, the event of
the season IN Jewish. circles, came
Off under the auspices OF the Ladies
Hebrew Aid.
The magnificent hall had been beau
fully d. corased, the great waxed
floor spread out in one grand
sheet, fairly gistened and sparkled
beneath the rays of innumerable in
candescent lights, while in the ad'
joining hall WAS arranged gorgeous
table laden with all that oou please
the palate or tempt the APPETITE.
AT the fashionable hour the beauty
ard Wit, the gailantry and aesthetic OF
Waco came troopiug ma ilood Of
pleasure seekers fairly filed the grea.
balls and as the deep mellow strains
! from B.ckef's orchestra fl Dated TO the
air, the chit. chat of hundred voices
ceased, and an hundred beautiful
and handsomely arrayed forms wheeled
away in the mszes o. the waltz. On,
and on went the festival of dancing,
wherein was displayed the grace and
elegan ce Of perfection, the sparkling
wit of charming maids and brilliant
repartee OF gallant youths. Untiring
and unceasing number after number
vas danced away, the gorgeous sup
per was served and toe pleasures
ceased ony when the hours Of early
morn had warned the young folks Of
approaching day.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the estmable members of the So
ciety, who had labored SO hard to
make the occasion grand success.
Mrs. B. Pearlstone, president; Mrs
B. Naman, vice president; Mrs. Leh
man Sanger, treasurer Mrs. A. Bloch,
secretary, each deserve special men
ton for their assiduous toll to make
the ball the grand affair it was. No
pains were spared nor anything was
left undone by these noble ladies.
A special feature of the evening
were the maskers who took off the
part OF the Salvation Army. With
bray of trumpet, clash of cymbal and
beating Of drum, six ladies and six
gentlemen dressed in full uniform of
the army, with buttons and caps, red
waist and halleIujAh bonnet, entered
the hail and throughout the evening
kept most strict decorum

THE PARIS RIOTS

The situation in Paris remains anomalous
although there are signs OF improvement Riot
! ing has continued on both sides of the Seine,
but the police are finding it less difficult to
dispense the mObs. The Latin Quarter is now
quiet and the centre of disturbance is no long
er the Labor Exchange, which has been wisely
closed by the Government. The student, have
withdrawn from the diminishing, and the riot
eis are now recruited almost exclusively from
the unemployed and lowest classes of the city.
The police are accustomed to deal with the riff
raft of the populacc, and are making many
arrests and gradually restoring order without
unnecessary assistance from the garrison. The
troops are, however in service and are doing
excellent work. The Government has acted
with boldncss and decision. It has cleared
many of the streets By massng the troops and
making short work of the mObs 1t has not
gone far enough to suppress the riOtng with
overwhelming force Yet it has incurred the re-
sentiment and hostility of large masses of the
population by af-mcasllres. 1t is apparently
shrinking from the necessity of restoring order
by bloodshed and massacre and is confidently
hoping that the rioters will speedily wear
themselves out and come to their senses.
The controversies WIN the MUNICIPAL COun-
Gil are mainly political, and are not dangerous
The government of the city under universal
suffrage is intensely radical If not socialistic.
The Councillors are in sympathy with the
masses and do not hesitate to dcnouncc the
conduct of the police and the measures Of the
National Government. Paris is not allowed to
govern itself and the Councillors resent every
attempt to suppress disorder as an invasion
of communal privilege and home rule. As
politicians placed in Office by general suffrage
they cannot afford to take any other stand

sion between the national and municipal au-

systems he would overturn. And it is SAID
that the foreign missionaries have been the
most enthusiastic advocates of the Parliament
of Rcligi n. Certain it is that the contemptu-
Gus ignorance of other religions displayed by
many missionaries in the past has been not
only di,creditable to them, but has impaired
the success of their work. a man, for in
stance. who tries to convert Bud dhsts by tell
ing them that they are bcsot,ed heathens, and
that their religion is gigantic falschOod, with
out one redeeming feature, may please tnin-

whom he would convert he appears to be Only
an ignorant calumniator They know If he
doe, not how many of the prccepts OF their
religion are identical with the prcccpts OF
Jcsll, and they ;uln from his haranSucS win
renewed faith in their historic creed.
Nevertheless it is hardly to be expected that
the coming Parliament Of Religions will score
the success it deserves owing to the fact that
so many Christians fail to appreciate It's sig
nificancc and possibilities. 1t ought to be a
great object lesson for the intelligent and can

ousIy manifcstS itself in the human race. But
many Christians refuse t. have anything to DO

which il is the duty of Christianity to prove
that no other religion has in it any element OF
truth or usefulness Such "A spirit is unfortu-
nate. and must seriously interfere with the

was the attitude of the Apostle Paul. when he

II was his aim to show that the religious IN

complete expression in the faith he 50 Loyalty
held; and in preaching to the cultivated

THE UORLD'S PARLIAMENT or RELIGIONS.

The Worlds Parliament of Religions, which
is to be held in Chicago IN September is u
unique and colossal conception. Nothing AT
all like it has eve: bcfor. been attempted
Compared with it, the sO-callcd Ecumcn cal
Councils Of the early Christian Church seem
like local provincial gatherings. The design
of this Worlds Parliament Of Religions is TO
have representatives Of all the great world re-
lipions. Buddhism, lIindooiSm. AIahomctanlm,
Shntoism, Christianity and Others meet to-
cether in friendly council, in order to lister 10
what may be said in favor Of each religion.
Subsidiary to this there will be congresses of
the various sects of Christianity, in which each
sect will try to explain its character and scope
and bring ont It's peculiar eXcellencics
These Christian congresses, however. will
nrObaby arouse much less attention than he
great parliament of all religions, even though
il should turn ont 10 be Il partial failure. ~
some conservative Christians predict. For
the idea that brought it into being is bound
to terminate, and to produce results of far
reaching importance i'll the future. Strppcd
Of all yerbiagc that idea is that there are
permanent elements Of truth, and fundamental
points of agreement in all the world religions
This alone explains their dominance over the
minds of so many men. y recognition Of this
fact need not in the slightest degree shake
the faith of Christians in their own religion mr.
discourage them from propagating it b, all
legitimate means. Quite the contrary. The
most successful modern missionaries are com.
ing to acknowledge that the missionary to-day
who would do any effective work must have
an intelligent understanding of the religions
