A Series of Tableaux Given by New York Society People in the Metropolitan Opera House Patriotic Societies Take Part in the Display. No more inspiriting spectacle of our nailcn al life has been presented to a New York audience than that so elaborately given last night in the Metropolitan Opera House un der the auspices of the National Society of New England women, when in broad sweep ,1,0 tag pictures the dramatic scenes of the epochs, beginning with the landing of the Pilgrims in 1620 and extending down tnrougn the great Civil War to the return of the vet erans in 1S65, were detailed in living tah leaux of comprehensive beauty and ln.nutc detail. This representation of American History embraced pictures of seven distinct peri Ods of national development, all keen in terest ana or unusuai utra.ui.3. iue eidinjioic programme which was executed iu its cuuit: ty, lield the audience readily until almost mid nip lit risryirp thp inLpnuissions of considera vvf 1 bio length which serrated the various scenes. The undertaking which uad been prepa ration for some weeks leu nothing to oe desired on the score of artistic effect ur historical accuracy in scene and costuming and for these excellencies chief credit is to beg iven to Mrs.

unaries aium rucu 01 Rochester. N. ttie historical d. rector, trhose long study of colonial history and custom renuered iier most efficient. Additional interest was lent to the spectacle because of Jhe participation in the historic scenes of many lineal descendants of the original characters portrayed.

In the organization of the plan Mrs. Fitch was greatly assisted by the active co operation of many of the colonial societies of men and women having chapters In New York. Among those so represented were the Society iJf Descendant, the National Society of New England Worn en, the Colonial Dames of America, the Colonial Dames of the State of New York, the Colonial Dames of ttie State of New Jersey, the Sons of the American Revolution, Mary Washington Colonial Chapter.

The boxes of tiae opera house blazed with societies represented, while all were niiuu with gay parties, many of the occupants being in costume and thus adding effectively to the brilliancy of the scene. Throughout the orchestra stalls were to be had glimpses of iiandsomely costumed cavaliers and colonial I Deauties, who took part in the various scenes 1 portrayed upon the great stage. The house was well filled even to the top gallery ttr.d among the box holders were numbered many of the most prominent people of the city. Among these were: Mes Jamf? IiuAsfll Sajre, John Munn. C.

Mrs. Charles H. Brush and the chairmen of various minor committees. William Parry of the Opera House was stage manager, and through him much of the beautiful scenery of the opera was made available for use. The Seventh Regiment band played throughout the intermissions and rendered incidental music.

The representation itself opened with the Mayflower period, 'two highly effective scenes being presented, the Pilgrims preparing to keep the Sabbath on shore and the marriage of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. The second period presented disclosed a Dutch scene of remarkable fidelity to history, in which the inhabitants of New Amsterdam were giving a welcome to the famous one legged governor, Peter Stuyvesant. The character parts in this scene also were taken Ty lineal descendants of the original Dutch of New Amsterdam. As typical of the colonial period was shown with a wealth of detail and local color a New England Thanksgiving in the first half of the last century and next came the Revolutionary era, portrayed in two scenes, both of which aroused the patriotism of the audience keenly, the evacuation of New York by the British and the raising of the American flag at the Battery. In the former Colonel Washington was depicted standing with his officers on the old Bowery road when a British courier dashed up on horseback and announced the cvacuatir n.

The i art wai takenbya namesake and collateral descendant of the Revolutionary hero. Colonel W. H. Washington, who also appeared twice in the next period as Washington, the and the embassy ball, in the latter of which a stately minuet was trod. The stage ld over 100 figures, all costumed with elcgar.ee and in perfect harmony of color, and this picture was in many respects the ma piece of the evening.

The two remaining periods presented sceneo from the War of 1S12 and the Civil War. In the ftrroer pt rioJ was shown the presentation of the freedom of the city to Commodore Isaac Hull of the United States frigate Constitution in ths council chamber of the New York City Hall by the then Mayor. The Civil War period was adequately in three scenes; first, the iparture of the Seventh Regiment for Vahin'4ton 1861, in which a company of the Seventh appeared in full dress; then a picket guard at the front in the evening, and last the return of the veterans in 1S65.

JEWISH WISDOM. Its Object, Meaning and Varieties Dis cussed Before the Brooklyn Institute by Canon Cheyne. Canon Cheyne of Rochester Cathedral, England, who is delivering a course of lectures in this city on "The Religious Life of the Hebrews After the Exile," spoke last night on "Jewish Wisdom; Its Objects, Meaning and Varieties." The Rev. Dr. Charles R.

Baker presided on behalf of the Brooklyn Institute, where the lecture was given. Dr. Cheyne began by saying that he hoped none of his hearers supposed the post exilic period so monotonous as some of the handbooks made out to be. The educational movement which characterized the closing days of Persian ascendancy and the beginning of Greek rule had its origin in the feeling that It whole classes in the community were to be mane righteous there was need of a more atrautive presentation of religious truth, For the priests and servants of Jehovah the law was open but tne common man needed ihe law interpreted in terms of ordinary life. Some of the newer school therefore busied themselves in making such selections of the law as were applicable to every day affairs; others succeeded in producing a perfect fusion of morality and religion, while a third class who were of a skeptical turn also wrote and their writings have escaped oblivion only by a lucky chance.

In this way several varieties of the so called wisdom literature came into being. Such a literature would naturally claim for itself a high antiquity. Even as the devout songs of the Psalter were attributed to the saintly David, so lore of the practical kind was attributed to Solomon. Portions of the Solomonic sayings bear a close resemblance to the ancient Zoroastrian literature; and while it is probably too much to say that the Jews borrowed outright from the Persians. Persian influences gave a powerful impetus to this style of thinking.

We know at any rate that the Jewish wisdom was not an isolated phenomenon peculiar to the Jewish most of tne surrounding nations who had attained any degree of culture had their wise men also; but Solomon was esteemed by the Jews superior to the others because of his firm belief in the one and righteous God. After speaking of Babylonian, Greek and Egyptian thought as affecting the Jewoh mind, Canon Cheyne referred to the ntw cosmopolitan note, which appears in the Proverbs. Wisdom is recognized as something that God has placed within the reach of ail men, whether of the chosen stock of Israel or no. But to call the wkdem literature secular would be a mistake. Its express purpose was the inculcation of right ways cf living upnn Jewish youth.

But it Is not idealistic. The religious and the practical or prudential side of life are sometimes amusingly juxtaposed. The first great object is to inculcate the fear of Jehovah; the second, the art of getting on In the world. Yet, although, the commonness of the thought occasionally degenerates into meanness, the ethical standards set forth are high. Canon Cheyne classed tho Book of Job as part of the wisdom literature.

The pre exilic idea was that suffering was the result of particular transgressions of God's laws. This was tho standpoint, toj, of the older prophets, who could only urge their hearers to purge themselves of the unclean thing if they wished happiness. But the facts of the post exilic time flatly contradicted the early notion that suffering presupposed wrong doing on the part of the sufferer. The author cf the passage on the "Servant of Jehovah" in Isaiah liil knew this to be true. The author of Job probably hid the servant of Jehovah in mind when he wrote his great book; it would, in fact, be of great interest for us to know that the two writers who thus struggled with the problem of life were friends.

A later editor piayed ducks and drakes with the original conception of the story of Job as it was in the mind of its author. According to the spirit of a more practical age. he oroeeaded to recompense Job for his sufferings by the restoration of his former prosperity. Also, the roles of Job and his friends were in a measure transposed and Job made to complain of the actions of his Maker, which. In 'the original poem he never did.

The passage wherein the Almighty speaks reveals a poet who had an eye for the wondere or na'ure and who maintains by implication that nature observation is as profitable as a too inquiry into God's doings Is useless and vain. ORIGIN OF RUSSIAN EMPIRE. Interesting Lecture in the Christian Association Course. Garret P. Serviss delivered his lecture on "Peter the Great and the Origin of the Russian Empire" at D02 Fulton street last night.

The lecture was one of a series of entertainments under tho auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. Although the lecture is not a new one, it is unusually interesting and entertaining and tho large audience at Association Hall last night thoroughly enjoyed the discourse. The lantern slides were also exceptionally good and they added materially to the lecture. Mr. Serviss first described the physical make up Russia and then referred to the different races that inhabit the empire.

In speaking of the devotion of the people Mr. Serviss mentioned the railroad car which is used for religious purposes and told how a priest invariably accompanies the train. Mr. Serviss related many interesting stories about Peter the Great. He spoke of Peter's marriage to Catharine and dwelt at some length upon the strong influence she had over her husband.

Views illustrating Peter's trip to England were also shown. UNITARIAN WOMEN. Regular Monthly Meeting of the League on Friday. The regular monthly meeting of the New York League of Unitarian Women will be held at the Second Unitarian Church on Friday. The meeting will open at 11 A.

EIGHT HUNDRED COUPLES ON THE ACADEMY FLOOR. Twenty third Annual Concert and Dance Given Under the Auspices of the Letter Carriers' Mutual Benefit Association. Postmaster Among the Guests. The Letter Carriers' Mutual Benefit Association held Its twenty third annual concert and ball last evening in the Academy of Music. The ball of the letter carriers Is always a success, and last night formed no exception to the record which has been unbroken since the association began to have Its annual affair.

By the time the grand march began there were nearly eight hundred couples on the floor, and though not half that number took part in the march the floor was crowded when the first square dance was called. The ball was preceded by a concert by Shannon's Twenty third Regiment Band. The programme for the concert consisted of nine numbers, and it was nearly 10 o'clock before lt was finished. By that time all the seats both downstairs and in the galleries were occupied, and the lobby was also filled with the guests of the association. The members of the reception committee, under the direction of Charles William H.

Tully, chairman, did their best to seat all the people, but Inasmuch as it was clearly apparent that the would be sitters outnumbered the seats two to one, they soon gave the task up as a bad job. The grand march began promptly at 10 o'clock. It was led by William J. Driscoll, the chairman of the floor and Mrs. Driscoll, followed by all the members of the floor committee.

Mrs. Driscoll was gowned in pink. The orchestra played for the march "The Brooklyn Letter Carriers' Association March," inscribed to Postmaster. Wilson. The dance programme was made up of twenty four numbers.

Twenty four numbers is a long programme and it was well on toward morning before the "Au Revoir Waltz" was played and the last couples left the floor. Among the guests who witnessed the scenes on the floor from the boxes were Postmaster Wilson, Assistant Postmaster McCooey, Superintendent W. A. Smith, Superintendent and and Mrs. Maas, William T.

Young, superintendent of carriers; Congressman Howe, Congressman Bennett, Congressman Hurley, Miss Hurley, Superintendent of Police Telegraph Mason, Sheriff Buttling, and his brother, Thomas Buttling; Henry Trenchard, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McMullen, a former president of the association, and a number of the members of the association.

Bead portieres are pretty and useful and may be made at home with little outlay eltlher of time or money. A narrow lath grooved at regular Intervals Is fitted over the door way where the curtain is to be nung. A ball of macreme cord and a quantity of glass beads of all colors, which may be obtained at a low figure, together with the knack of blending colors artistically is all that is now required.

The beads are strung on the cord and knotted at frequent Intervals to prevent slipping. Each lengtih should be securely fastened to the lath and placed as close to the next as is possible without tangling. A variety of patterns may be Introduced into tnls style of drapery. Cider vinegar Is Bometimes recommended for removing shine from silk or woolen goods, but the hardening properties of this fluid must be taken into consideration when it is used. Ammonia diluted first with a little boiling and then with cold water, is the best restorative for black silk and should be ap plied with a soft black woolen cloth.

An excellent Yankee remedy for a heavy cold is a poultice made of linseed meal mixed with lard and placed between flannel. This has been found particularly efficacious in warding off threatened attacks of pleurisy.

Mustard mixed with lard Instead of with water will be found a much better remedy for congestion and there is much less danger of blistering.
