Chicago, Feb. t.—The anual
charity ball was given here last
night. The usual formal dance for
charity was replaced this year by
an “Arabian Nights’ ball." The
display of jewels and the mag

far exceeded anything of the sort
ever seen in this city. The jew

cost of the costumes amounted
to more htan 5500,000. Many of
the Arabian costumes were daring

pageant of sultans, harem beau
ties, slaves, women in glittering
palanquins, Arab merchants and
Bedouins.
