The Work of Jewish Women.

In the recently organized mothers union in Alabama it Is said that the movement met with such sincere appreciation and cooperation on the part of the Jewish wo- men that they have become recognized as leaders in this organized body of progress slve and earnest women. Their interest in forming mothers clubs has been invaIua- ble to those with whom the movement be- gun. That the Jewish woman has at all times valued education not only in litera- ture. the arts and science but in what the best educators the world places first. and that is obedience and the small cour- tesies of life is in evidence in her house. hold and indeed wherever her influence is felt
 The Jewish woman is keeping fully abreast with all progress made by the women of other nationalities. Her work in philanthrophy and education shows her to be in perfect sympathy with great move ments of the day. The recent national convention that was held in Cleveland O.. showed the results of the organized efforts of Jewish women. Among the institutions that are maintained by the council are:
 Sixteen sewing schools; seven industrial

Patrons for the Carnival Of Dances.

That the approaching carnival of dances to be given at the Jefferson theater under the auspices of the women of St Mary's will be in every way a distinctly beautiful event is fully assured by the progress of the rehearsals that sare being held every day. The two stage vaudeville has ap- pealed to every one as an extremely novel idea. and from all indications the Jefferson will be thronged with d brilliant assembly the evening of the performance. A number of women who have attended the rehear- sals were speaking yesterday of the pie turesque beauty, and many interesting fea- lures of the carnival. and they declared that the entertainment would be the most elaborately staged of any affair ever given in Birmingham. The following women are patrons of the carnival:

 Two sections defray funeral and ceme- tery expenses of a number of poor people. These are only a small number of the char itable institutions which the council has established.

 The value of the Jewish mother has called forth a number of beautiful express sions in "Woman's Work the official or cent issue of the Jewish Sentiment of Atlanta the following comment is made in regard to the brainy women who edit Womans Work:
 Jewish Sentiment is in receipt of the March issue of Womans Work, also sev- eral numbers of Vol 1 and for which we extend thanks and assurance of ap- preciation for the interesting criticism. We cannot speak too highly in praise Of Woman's Work as it is a magazine edited by some of tlie noblest and brainiest daughters of our land. Not alone do we appreciate the excellence of its various articles but also the kind spirit in which the editor combats the wrongs done wor- thy members of the Jewish race and shows the good qualities of Jewish homes and mothers. Oh. that there were more of these who weild their pen to defend jus tice, and help to bridge over the chasm that has so divided the Jew from the rest of the world.

At the Jefferson Theatre

The Aubrey Stock company, an organ possessing talent of more than ordinary quality will open a weeks engagement at the Jefferson next Monday evening, with three matiness.
 "The Land of the Living" from the pen of Frank Harvey, will be presented Mon- day evening, for which performance ladies' tickets have been issued as a special n- ducement to give the ladies an opportunity to witness this scenic production. The sec ond act is mounted and staged in a man. ner seldom seen in a performance given at peoples prices. As the curtain rises, showing the rich diamond fields of Kim berley in South Africa, with the high snow-capped peaks of the Krasti moun- tains in the distance, Gerlad Arkwright, the hero, is seen emerging from the Ark wright diamond claim with d treasure of diamonds. As he reclnes on the bank out side of his cabin he falls asleep, dreaming don, all of which is fully illustrated by series of visions given by the proper char acters. The act is powerful and sensational from start to finish, and the interest is heightened by the fact that the Cape Col ony district, in which the Kimberley dia- mond fields are situated, is at present the scene of fierce battles between the Boers and English.
 The company will present the following repertoire: Tuesday night, Faust; Wednesday night, ''The Great Brooklyn phans''; Friday night, Fire Patrol'; Sat urday night, "The Plunger." Matinees will be given Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- day.

TIE ORIENTAL RO0M.-

The taste for oriental decoration and fur nishings is becoming more and more popu- lar every day. so that now it can no longer be considered a mere passing fad. One can get a good idea of the handsome effect that can be had by fitting up an oriental room by noticing a unique display in one of the show windows at Colby's Wall Pa- per and Art Store, 2023 First avenue. MT. Colby has converted one of his show win dows into a miniature room, which he has decorated in true oriental style with rugs and draperies to harmonze with the decor ation. The effect is quite artistic and is attracting a good deal of attention.

Jim Key" the wonderful horse, attract ed large crowds to the Jefferson theater at matinee yesterday and again last night, and gave further evidence of his remarka- ble intellect and education.
 There is little doubt that Jim is the best educated horse in the world, and those who have seen him marvel at the prompt and correct responses that the animal makes to all questions and commands.
 The horse will probably be exhibited at the Auditorium on Tuesday for the benefit of the pupils of the colored schools.

almost like a stroke with afeather conl
pared with blow reinforced by the cesl
tus. This weapon consisted of a pfec6
of heavy leather shaped like gauntlet
and covering the fist and forearm. Some<
times, however, it extendedonly as far as
the wrist. and then the arms to the ell
bow would he wound around with straps
interlacing and crossing each other, all
pulled tight.
The first part, as also the thongs OF
leather around the forearm, were rein<

ed in place. This metal not only protect
ed the Heather part of the cestus, but it
added weight to the whole implement,
and therefore made a blow from DIT all
the more terrible. 1
These details are given to show how
different were the results of the old-time
gladia toriaa encounters compared with
the prize fights of the present day. The
latter, no doubt, appear to be very fierce
and barbarous because they are written

THE CROWD" CLERGYMAN.

When we turn to religion in its differ,
ent phases, we find the same emphasis
upon them all--the emphasis of mass Of
majority; not that the church exists for
the masses--no one would claim that-but
that, such as it is, it is a mass church..
White the promise of scripture, as last
resort is often heard in it about two
or three gathered together in Gods
name" the church is run on tae working
conviction that unless the minister and
the elders can gather two or three nuns,
dred in Gods name, he will not pay any
particular aattention to them, or, IL ne
does, he will not pay the bills. The
church of our forefathers, founded on
personality, is exchanged for the church
of democracy, founded on crowds; and
the church of the moment is the insri.;
tutional church, in which the standing
of the clergyman is exchanged for the
standing of the congregation. The ine-i
yitable result, the crowd clergyman. Is
seen on every hand amongst us-the
agent of the audience, who, instead OF
telling an audience what they ought to
dodo runs errands for them morning.

or, Richard Coeur de Lion, William Wall
lace and Robert Bruce.
1t is true that few statistics of real
value exist about these men, but from
Roman times down enough is known to
safely assert that the noted warriors of
olden times represented a type of men
not seen nowadays. In the gladiatorial
arena the contestants had one fixed pur-
pose, namely to keep themselves from
being killed, and to kill as many oppo-
nents as possible Confining comparisons
to feats in the arena, where professional
pugilists, gladiators, ETC., We're made to
do battle on basis Of the survival Of tn
fittest, it may be asked If the modern
puglistic encounter even if 1t Is a real
one. is not tame affair.
The bouts modern so-called gladiators
have with gloves often produce hard
punching and sometimes one contestant
is really knocked out by a blow that tenn
porarily paralyzes some nerve center.
The bout stops then, and the defeated
fighter, after a few moments, gets UP and
goes about his business. Can it be said
that this comparatively mild punishment
inspires the modern Dugiiist to keep in
the same physical condition that was the
strong ambition Of the ancients? Medi-
cal authorities are a unit in the opinion
that the advanced civilization is working
havoc with physical perfection.
ANCIENT WARRIORS.
History with the beginning of Julius
Caesars reign, chronicles mostly the ex-
ploits of war. In between times there
are reports Of the construction of pubic
works and buildings, but even while these
structures were receiving much of the
peoples energy and resources. plenty of
time was found to congregate frequently
at the hippodromes. colliseums and other
arenas, where the exhibitions generally
consisted of actual hand -hand con-
hicts between men armed with the ces-
tus, shields, daggers, short swords, two
handed swords, battle axes, spears and
if on horseback the unwieldy. but effica-
cious heavy spear, which in later times
was transformed into the lance.
The modern pugilist. thanks to civii-
"a tion, has yet to make a reputation in
handling daggers, short swords, ETC.. and
before becoming proficient with these
weapons, he would have to spend many
hours day in exercising rooms than he
ever had to while attaining prowess with
the mittens. But one weapon--the cestus
might be used by a modern gladiator
after few trials. If, however, the cestus
We're used on it's merits. modern encoun-
ters would probably end in the death OF
the fighter.
The Roman cestlss is often spoken of,
but it is doubtful if many have a true
idea Of what it really was. and Of what
terrible havoc it could work. A blow
from a modern brass knuckle would be
