BALL FOR THE
DEFENSELESS
RUSSIAN JEWS
Was One Of the Most Largely
Attended Events in This City
This Season.
THE PRIZE WINNERS.
Judges Had a Difficult Time But
the Characters Were Final
!y Selected.


1t is estimated that over $500 was
cleared by the members of the Jewish
Self Defense Association, of this city,
by the masquerade ball and reception
which they held N Washington hall,
in Fayette street, last night. This
money, together with other funds col
lected by the association, is to go TO
Russia to help the defenseless Jews Of
that country who are being killed and
wounded by the soldiers.
For many weeks the association
had been preparing for the ball and
reception and while they expected a
large crowd they did not think that
the hall would be filled the way it
was. Hundreds of tickets had been
sold and nearly all those who bought
tickets were on hand
AS soon as the doors opened at g
o'clock the masked ones began to ar
rive and in short order the floor was
packed with people dressed in all
sorts of odd, pretty and comcal cos
tunes. Romping and dancing with
masks on was kept up until 2 o'clock
when the announcement was made
that the march before the judges
would take place for the awarding OF
the prizes.
The judges were Mrs. Rippen, Mrs.
Golub, Lewis Braines, H. Wurman
H. Richmond, J. Rosenthal, and Sam
uel Tucker. They were seated on
the stage in the forward part of the
hall and it was hard task for them
to pick the winners because of the
many worthy costumes, but they fin
ally agreed on the costumes.
Philip Levine, who was dressed to
represent the Jewish Defense .Asso-
citation, was on the stage He was
armed with Il pistol and held q num-
ber of Russian soldiers at bay. This
was decided as the most original cos
tune and Mr.. Levine was awarded a
smoking tabk and set. Irs. Schloss,
who represe1 | q Rus ian feather
picker, was a'~drded the ladies' first
prize. handsome lamp. Mrs. Kline,
who was dressed in fancy costume,
was awarded ladies' second prize, a
loc. The gentlemen's second rize,
pair of opera glasses, went to B.
Blumberg. He was dressed in a fan
cy costume. Te most comical couple
were Mss Margaret Woglom and Ned
Cotton. They received cut glass
dishes. Sally Cohen, as an old maid,
also received cut glass dishes.
After the prizes had been awarded,
dancing was continued and kept up
until early this morning, when the
last of the guests departed. Those
in charge were as follows:
Floor manager, H. K. Golenbock;
assistant floor managers, D. Isenberg,
