obtained the special permission Of the
government to use what has been Tor
forty years one Of the treasures Of
the state.
The members OF the delegation We're
received with extraordinary attcn-
tlons wherever they went which they
accepted as intended for them as
| Americans rather than as represent
| ing Boston alone. In Frankfort Il
banquet was given them in the impe-
| rial han in the Romer where in
]
| were feasted after they had been
crowned in the church across the way.
No dinner had been given in the hall
| since 1907. The wives of the dele
gates and many ladies of Frankfort
were among those at the tables. the
| first time that women ever dined in
the ancient hall. Wallets We're as
signed the principal members of the
party at Vienna. At Prague SOC rep
rrsentatiye men of the city met them
a. the station and they were driven
in decorated coaches 10 the hotel es-
! cortcd by the distinguished citizens
ana a band. After the city govern
ment of Hamburg had given them a

The contemplated sacrifice of a dog
at religious ceremony held by the
tribe oe Filipinos at the American at
traction of Paris known as Magic
| city" was forbidden at the last mo-
ment by NJ. Lepine, the project of po-
lice. The ceremony was held accord
ing to program, the natives substitut-
ing pig for a dog, but the tribesmen
voted rctaliatory measures of disap-
proval against the official action OF
the police. BY the terms of their res
olution they will on returning to their
native land "oblige Christians tC
adopt their customs and eat of the
flesh of dogs" The incident illus
trated the widely diversified matters
to which the versatile prcfeCt of police
must devote his attention while di-
recting the policing Of the great city
of Paris. The Filipino ceremony
proved interesting to the few foreign
ers who were permitted TO be present
Two weeks ago "A baby was born
dead in the Filipino village at Magic
| city" The trihesmen, who are known
as the lgorrotes, have no practices of
divorce, but they do practice the trial
marriage. The couple TO whom the
baby was born were undergoing trial
marriage II no issue is born within
q twelvem,y tn the marriage does not
pass into the legal and lasting form
Following the custom Of the Igorrotes
tribe the spirit of any person who dies
starts on long journey and it is nee
cssary to furnish as a companion the
spirit Of some edible animal in order
that the spirit OF the departed being
may not be hungry.
American Zionist delegates on theiI
way homeward from the congress at
Basel regard their work there as hav-
ing advanced Jewish nationalism
The discussions took place in several
languages. Hebrew was spoken about
ouc-thrd Of the time. Delegates from
Germany outuumborod those from any
other country and when they did not
speak in Hebrew they generally used
German. The gathering was as cos
mopolitan as a Hague peace confer
enco. In variety of culture and dis
uuciton in many professions the con-
Ercss surpassed in interest most in
tornational meetings.
