The passion play at Oberammergau
this year was not a great success peeuni
arily. The receipts amounted to $60,-
600, half of which was profit to be divi-
ded among al the performers. Mayer,
who played the part Of Jesus, received
the largest dividend, but it amounted
to only $3.50. while. the lowest classes of
the performers received only SIG for
thirty-nine performances. They are
greatly dissatisfied with their gains and
complain that the innkeepers and ped
dlers received the largest sha' of the
pecuniary income of the festival. The
hotel men and the vendors of trinkets
and photographs are much more i'm
pressed with the sacred influence of the
play and are more anxious for its repeti-
ton than are the performers. Mean
while the attempt to introduce the play
in this country has proved q failure, the
pulpit and the press being almost solidly
opposed to its representation.

Pay OF Legislators.

Hon. CT. McElroy, of Warren coun-
~, has introduced a hill in the House
of Representatives cutting down the pay
of Legislators from - 10 - per day, and
their mileage from - to 10 cents per
mile ON the most direct route usually
Travelled going to and returning from
the session. We think the payo Legis-
lators should not TIE too high but ii does
seem TO us that s. per day is low enough
and as to mileage, they ought to be al
lowed the actual amount of expenses in
CURED going to and returning from the
session by the nearest and cheapest
route usually travelled
The average Legislator looses about
two months from his time in making
the necessary canvass. before the people.
The session,on an average, lasts about 75
days, which would make Il total of 1915
for four or five months time il our sug-
gestion as TO mileage was adopted. The
loss To business or profession occasioned
by the absence of three or four months
is considerable to good business man,
and no other sort will make safe eff
cient Legislator. If the office of Iegis-
lator lasted a long while and he was en-
gagged nearly all the while, then We
would say cut il down, but as IL Is, we
think s. per day and actual expense
paid going and retu1'ing by the near
est and most convenient route is low
enough.

DEAR SIR:-After returning our
THANKS Tor past tavors ana wishing you
prosperous ana happy new year, We
take TINS metnOd 10 announce To you
and the public, that we have Withdrawn
from the TOBACCO Board OF Trade"
ana IN doing SO, we have not word to
say against IL; IL was good institution
IN lts DAY recently IL mas been
guilty Oh some ioiiies tnat we dld not
approve but protested against, hence we
are involved IN no vexatious and ex-
pensive lawsuits with any Of the buy
ers.
The fees for selling tobacco, to both
buyer ana seller, may, and perhaps
We're, not too high at the time of their
adoption tsoon after the war; when
laDOr, rents, money anu IN fact every
thing was high, ana at time, too,
when u was almost indispensably nee
essary 10 employ travelling agents; now
since there mas peen quite deprecia-
ton IN value OF everything, ana espe-
clally since the tobacco market OF LOU
isville Is so well established and known
To DE the leauing market Tor all shades
ana grades OF TOBACCO, ana there are so
many avenues OF Information opened
up, and leading to almost every mans
door, acquainting MIN daily with the
state OF the market, etc, we can see no
good reason for continuing the old ex-
pensive custom OF employing men to
canvass the country soliciting consign-
ments OF TOBACCO. therefore We nave
concluded to dispense with the services
of that class OF gentlemen above alluded
to, and appropriate their salaries in an
other direction, or, more properly speak
