Last Thursday was a gala day for our jenuaim.

The I'rogress Ulub opened tne winter season with a full-dress ball. The hall, in Ricbe block, on Mam Street, was tastefully decorated and, by the time of the opening ol the ball, it was filled with the elite of our society, all bent upon having a glorious time. The ball was an "affair recherche" throuzhout. and one oi tne most social aitairs which we ever had the pleasure to attend for a long time. Up to a late, some one asserted an early hour, the ball was kept rolling and joy and pleasure reigned supreme.

The music, the best our city affords, was furnished by Prof. Blitz's band. Prof. Blitz is a young Jewish man of great talent and good musical education, who will without doubt make his mark ere He is now already the musical director of our upera-house and German Theater. THE REV.

KIIAMBR. Some two weeks ago a young man about twenty or twenty-three years of age arrived here from Memphis, where, as he stated, he had taught in a Hebrew school Bv testimonials and letters ol recommend ation he (howd that for some time be had been engaged as teacher by the Refu gee Committee, of New Orleans, La. and was sent to the colony in Lousiaiia. There ho was attacked bv swamp and ma larial fever and his physicians advised him to sees a more northern clima'e. Mem phis did not answer the purpose and he came on to Kansas City, lie was at once taken care of by our Relief Society.

Mr, Sadler, the President, placed him in a boarding house. Dr. Block, who vo'un- tearcd to attend to all the sick among our poor, treated him, and the svmpathy of the whole community was arouse! in his lavor. Mr. Marx Kise started a culleution and ere long hud a' handsome purse, which he handed him.

lo give the voung man some employment, the Israelites soon had about mteen to twenty scholars lor nm, to teach Hebrew. Mr. Feineman, the Presi dent of the congregation, gave him the use of the school-roums of the cong ea tion. Well, last Mouday the school opened. As a matter of course tuition was paid in advance; also, in most instances, the amount for a Hebrew reader was placed in hia hands.

After the lapse of two days, the scholars found the school-rooms locked and the teacher i owhere. Upon in quiry it was ascertained that the young man at a meeting ol tne I. M. A. made the acquaintance of Dr.

Bonde, aChris- miu ster, to whom he represented him-Beli as forlorn and forsaken, fur whom the Israelites of Kansas Uity would do noth ing. Ihe Doctor took nun into bis house ami took great pleasure in conversing with the well-inlurmei! young man on tne merits or demerits ol Jceus Christ as the Mca siah. The Rev. Dr. was soon shown that he was deceived, and last Friday our Rev.

Kramer wiped his MioeB of Kan sas City dust It is rumored in town that he went to Chicago, to apply there as teacher in a Sabbath-school. This casa, which by no means stands isolated, proves the necessity ol a union of all the Relief Societies of the Union, to prot ct the communities from imposters and frauds, because the innocent will suffer for the guiltv. The amount Mr. Kramer collected is not great, bnt his baseness is gross and deserves exposure. MAIS1IABD IIAAR.

It will be remembered that sometime ago I gave an account of how a deed for a burial lot was given by the Indianapolis Hebrew uougregauon to one ot ltB men, hers whose wife was not a Jewess.

This same deed was refected by him, and consequence thereof another meeting of the congregation was ca.ieu lor last sun day. To make the matter short and it iB to be hoped that it will be the last of lb the following resolution was presented and passed by nearly a nnauiinoiiD vote, viz: Whereas, There is a misunderstanding in the minds of some members as to Hie resoluiidn passed at a special meeting of the congregation instructing the Trustees in rinard to making a deed to Jos. Deitch for a lot in the cemetery; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Trustees be instructed to mike a deed to a lot in tho cemetery owned by this congregation lo JoBeph Deilcb, said lot t6 be used only for the burial of said Joseph Deitch anil wife, and with tbe condition that no religious ceremonies olher than tbe Jewish be performed at the burial of either Joseph Deitch or bis Wife, and that no monument or shaft displaying any emb em other than those sanctioned by Jewish custom be permitted to be erected on said lot. It is also provided that conveyance of said lot to said Joseph Deitcn. is upon the turthtr condition that his said wife shall expnsa her desire to the Trustees to be buried in said lot.

The play Ikey Solomons," of which a great deal has been said, did not pan out well here.

My el-iorta were quite unavailing, and only served to exhibit in an unpleasant light the indifference of the Young Men's Hebrew Association to Jewish talent. Per--bape I should not say the association, but Its directors rather. A 'literary note from the Century states that Henry James, has made a new study of American character and manners in brilliant satirical Bketcu to be pub-fished in the December issue. Yon may remember that some months go I apprised you of the organisation ol an Association for Promoting the Higher Education of Von.i. Itiflrat step w.

gihe endeavor to obtain admission for women to Columbia College. A petition that effect to the trustees of Columb'a has been published. Although President Barnard and the members of the faculty favor the Movement, it 'B opposed by some of the conservative trustees, and thus far the views of the opponents of progress have re vailed. It will not be long, however, efore the splendid opportunit es for mental culture afforded by a college poss casing: so complete an educational staff as ioee Columbia will be extended to women. Trustees or no trustees, some plan having that end in view will be adapted.

The discussion on the subject has elicited some opinions well worth considering. Thus Jr. William U. Draper sayB: "There are two common objections Bade to the higher or more liberal education of women. One is, that the feminine mind iB incapable of the cultivation the masculine mind attains, and the other is, even if it were capable of the same caltiva-tion, the special functions and responsibilities of women are such that any attempt divert any large portion of her vital force in the direction of intellectual work will so impair her physical health and vigor that she will be unfitted for her special function of maternity.

As to the first objection, the discoveries of the most advanced anatomical research do not re veal any textural distinctions between the nervouB syBtem ol man und that of woman. In regard to the second objection, I think it would not be difficult to show that the fact that the education of girls is often a cause of physical ilia, ia due rather to the vicious methods of education than to education itsolf. The methods of education for girls in vogue at the nreeent day is well represented in the orriculm provided by the State for the education of teachers in the Normal College of this city. The course is one of four years, begun generally at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and is ended at eighteen or nineteen. It covers the period of ritical development of growth, when, if ever, in a woman's life, strict attention should be paid to the physical health and the careful regulation of the expenditure of the vital forces.

The methods employed by the State for the education of teachera are as vicious as they can be. They involve a reckless waste of money, a useless and wicked expenditure of energy, iu.d make a travesty of education. A reform in the DreBent methods of educating young women, wuicb, I take it lor granieu, la me ujeuuiug ui ueumuu lor a higher education ol women, can only be brought about by parents giving the same care and attention to the education of their daughters that tbey give to that of their sons. This will require the abandonment of the idea that a girl's education is to be completed bi fore she is eighteen or twenty years ol age. it will reonire a protest airainst the voneorim; processes of our fashionalle schools and the trammine methods of our Normal Col lege.

It will require for the present, as the most practicable Eolution of the dun eulty of procuring the best training lor ur young women at all events for those who desire it that our colloges should furnish the same privileges for girls that Jhey do for boys." I do not hesitate to ask you to print at length the views of so eminent an authority us Dr. Draper, for the methods which ho criticises are practiced in every part of the country, and it is curUiin that tmnn ia 111 UU UrjJttUlilCUl Vl OUUMblUII ID to urgently needed.

KANSAS CITY. The hospital question, which has agita ted the minds of many of our co-religionists these five or six months, is settled at last. The Israelites of this city are not suffici ently strong in numbers to justify the erection a hospital ny ana lor them SBlveB. But the time will come, and we believe it is not far distant, when the Jehndim from one to two hundred miles surrounding this metropolis will have to unite with us in tne erection ana support ol sucn an institute, bo lar, wc nave cared for the sick transients in the Catholic bos pital. But we have been rather unfortu nate with it.

Until now almost nine out of ten cases terminated fatally and besides the burden is a heavy one. The city hos pital is inadequate for a city of the ze of Kansas City. It has only two wardsand is only able to take cure of Irom thirty to forty patients at a lime. Now, taking into consideration that all the subjects which we placed into said hospi'a! were strangers, out of fourteen cases that have come under our own observation, but one was a young man who resiuea nere ior over one year, all the reBt were strangers wno came here to und a grave. It is but fust to re call this to the mind of the many Israelites who live in our vicinity, in communities of from two to mteen families.

They have not our burden, they supp rt not our inBti utions, bu nevertheless, Itt a 61 ck or poor brother come to them by chance, they are very quick in forward ng the same to our city, deeming it to be our dutv to take care of them as well as we can. It is abs ilutely wrong that the Israelites, living in large cities in established communities should be called up in to keeD no all the necessary charities while our brethren living in villages and rising towns Keep memsoives aiooi uom nil obligations toward their brethren, casu.il caseB excepted. It would be nothing but rair and right ail Israelite would Belong to at least one or the other of our charit able institutions and assist in the snpi ort of same. We think that Hie Maccabees scheme is one in the right direction, and, if carried ouf. will ureatly elevate the socinl as well as reliuious position of our Irell ran at large.

Win tever individually, can do in turtl ng the Maccabees scheme will be done gladly and willingly. Hamming now to the hosp.ta! question, agitated of late, I slate that the lib eral minded men of this city advanced the idea that such an institute should be ce K-d into existence, one which should by no means be sectarian. Subscriptions were solicited und our Israelites subscribed largely. Because the greater portion of the originators Deiongeu to ino episcopal Church, the meetings were called and convened in the church edifice of that denom ination, on Eighth and Walnut Streets The ladies of that society were very earnest in their efforts in fur tiering the scluine. At the flnt, orincorp.

meeting, held in Hie St. Mary's tiburcn, one of ourco-relieioniste, A. N. Sadler, the P.esi djnt of our Relief Society, was elected one of Uio directors, and in a subsequent meet ing; he was called to the chair and was "1 1 ced at the head of the committee on election of grounds and the building com-mitiee. The name given the institution ia Church Charity Hostitil." Although nominally the same is under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, the directors, being selected for life, are to a great majority mon of a broad and liberal mind, constituents, who re-eiecieu mui uy handsome majority.

Our elite orchestra the Philharmonic gave its first concert for this its forty1 first season last night. As usual the au dience represented the beat elements as well as me purely ihbihuuhuiu uireico ui metropolitan society. Upon entering the stage Mr. Thomas was received with that cordiality with which one greets an old and valued acquaintance. Although rather lengthy no classical concert should take up more than two hours the programme was arranged very skillfully.

Frederic H. Cowes Scandinavian symphony, performed for the first lime, is a work full of charm and interest. It betrays the influence of Mendelssohn what English music of the period does not? but is nevertheless quite original. In every movemeut there are some fine instrumental effects, and this is especially true of the adagio, A oummer evening on the Fiord." where there is a lovely passage for horns and harp, a combination al instruments seldom heard. Miss Thuraby's singing of Mozart's Mia spe-ranza" was an admirable piece of vocal-ism.

Her rendition of Liszi's Lovely" a settinu of Heine's famous poem must have pleasantly surprised those who only know the lady an a brilliant bravoura singer. Her phrasing was very tasteful, the German words were pronounced with remarkable clearness, and the lifrf was HiniL' with a aimDlicitv and breadtn of style entirely appropriate. Wagner's "Parsifal" vortpiel did not create any marked imoression. and was rather coldly received. The concert was brought to a close by a magnificent performance of tne seventh symphony.

Let me give you one or two brief extracts from the lecture, as published in Saturday morning's Republican ve bave aeaigned lack of simplicity as the groat evil threatei.ing to destroy the beneficial influence of religion and faith.

We refer mainly to that powerful factor in our spiritual life, to that grand promoter of our moral superiority as it hitherto has manifested itself in the admirable orderliness of the congregation into which, by our own fault, we have carried the baneful, because unnatural, rule of fashion. Let us be candid, at least, and confess that religion and faith, as now represented by our churches and synagogues, by our congrega iona' and institutional activity, are merely articles of fashion. It is exceedingly painful to contemp'ate the differ ence between the effects produced in the soul and mind of the worshipor in the liumble synagogue ot tne past ani those wh'ch the" worshiper carries with Irin fioin the gorgeous temple of tne present day The artificial has supplanted the na ural. We go to our temples as many go to the theater to De entertaineu, to while away an to see and to be seen. We can not shut our eyes to the fact that religion, fashionable religio 1, is a very expensive article of luxury in which hut the wealthy cm indulge.

The abi'ilv ol the congregation to ereut a lashiouabla edifke called temple or church, and to furnish it luxuriously to engage a lash ionablo preacher of personal magnetism and social propensities everything, to the lust pew, IB npieuuiu i-veryoouy, uown to the sexton and janitor, is'high-salarieu and equally bigh-toned. The ii mncial strength, the numerical growth, the social position are the sole criteria: not the bon est faith, not the re'igious fervor, not the self sacrificing ardor of the individual members. Many another severe truth was expressed in that lecture which Bhonld bs heeded by both Jews land Gentiles. A rabbi may incur the risk ot losing wnar. property be possesses, but it will be admitted that he will gain in respect by learlessly advocating the much-needed reforms in this line.

Phil SchloBB, of Terro Haute, gentleman well known in your city, was elected a member of the Legislature at the last electioLi. To use a political term, he ran four hundred votes ahead of his ticket, and the report comes here, so they say, that evey rooster in Vigo County has been crowing ever since. How iB that, Phil JS.D. November 13, 1882. Tbe Emigrant Aid Society, a Branch of the Cremleui Alliance Israelite.

This society, specially formed for the relief of the Russian refugees who came to this city, having dissolved itself on the first of this month, it ought to enjoy the privilege of a record of its labors in your valuable paper. From the time of itsformatiqn until its dis-solution, which was ten monthB (from No vember 1st to October Is the society had to deal with about teven hundred refugees. Of this number about three hundred were fed, clothed and employment found for them in tne various occupations to which they belonged, and were well cared for in a very large house which was ppecially rented, tin tney were able to earn sum cient to sustain themselves. Most of the labor in dispensing the funds of the society fell upon the shoulders of the President, the Rev. Dr.

Meyer, who ablv car ried out bis arduous duties with the greatest success to the satisfaction of all those who took fo noble and generous an interest in the welfare of their persecuted brethren. The effjrts of the minuter to aid tbe Russians in their hour of great trial is deserving of the highest praise. He labored day by day with untiring zeal, energy and preBervanee to devote the funds to their best potB ble use and to place Ins brethren such positions where they could exert themBelves with advantage and become respectable members of sreiety. The only great difficulty that the society had to deal with was to obtain employment for the tinsmiths, locksmiths and brass-founders during the summer mon lis on account of the which then prevailed. Ti.is fell rather heavy on the committee, who had to maintain them all the time over tbe strike, but now, thanks to Providence, they are all workinc and earning eood wages.

It is to be hoped that they will not forget the kindness and lEBuerusiiy iu mu tita suvituy 111 times ui prosperity The remainder of the refu gees were provided with railway tickets anu lorwaruea to ineir uestinntinn. ua tho whole over live thousand dollars was spent. The society ou its dissolution notili 'd tbe iNew lorK and tsairopean au thorities that they required no more emi grants, us tbey did an that was in their power to do. Great thanks are due to the ludies and gentlemen who so generously cams forward with articles ol clothing to clothe thtse poor waifs of humanity and which was a great help to the society. The outbreak among the Russian refugees in New York is believed to be due to the frequent change of officers, which thev do not very well appreciate.

As was the ase here thev did not like to be olhcered by their own countrymen, and the consequence was that frequent disturbances took place. To keep them in order it is necessary to get a man who will study their ways and habits and act accordingly. If rigorously dealt with they become stubborn, angry and disobedient, but if kiudly treated tney are easily managed. It must also be brought to tbe notice of the public in general that the Jewish people here have also a benevolent scciety, which has been organized for tbe relief of aeed people, the Bick and tlioBe who find themBelves in distress. Transients without means ars also assisted.

Since its foundation, three years ago, the society have spent large Bums of money in acts of benificence, end which has contributed in a great degree to get them in the position which tney now occupy. Mr. a. juik is the President; Dr. Myer, Vice-President; Mr.

L. Aaron, Secretary, and Mr. Adler, Secretary. Tne decision of the Hebrew Relief Society not to assist tran sients is a very wise one, and a course which will be adopted here. There a growing opinion here that this c'nss ol peupie inusi.

The Pittsburg and Alleghany Poor Bord, which may also he called a national one, have taken the same measures, and it is their intention to carry them out r'gor-ouly. J. PirrsnuiiG, Oct. 28, 1882.
