The history Of the Oberammergau passion
play shows how easy il is TO spoil good thing
by trying TO improve IL Thirty years ago the
great world knew Of the play only through
OCCASIONAL reports from artists and men of let
tiers who had quit the beaten track of Euro
pean travel and hunted their way to the quaint
old village. The peasants who took part in it
were so thoroughly in earnest that they seemed
even TO try to lead in their everyday occupa-
tons the lives Of the characters represented
by them on the stage, as o sort Of preparation
for the great event Of each ten-year period.
But the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 broke in
upon the decennial rule, and in 1871 the per-
Torrance attracted such crowd Of sight-seers
who focked to the continent when dam
ger from the international duel was
over, that the innkeepers and transfers
and other benefciaries through all the
neighboring country had their heads turned
and saw that there would be profit in making
the play fashionable feature. The presenta-
ton Of 1880 strengthened this idea and ex-
tended IL to some managers in Munich, who
have now undertaken to revise the text, sup
ply new dresses, elaborate scenery and mechan-
ical devices, increase the orchestra and enlarge
the auditory so that ten or twelve thousand
persons can see the stage. The rustic flavor Of
the whole affair, which was one Of its chief
charms, ia gone, together with the devout
atmosphere which pervaded the performance
in the old time. The Oberammergau play is
now an ordinary spectacle, like any other in a
profsne thester.

number Of leading trade organizations and
prominent business men of New York and
Brooklyn are already on record as conceding
the fitness Of the selection of Washington as
the site Of the exposition of 1892, and are num-
bered among the supporters Of the project.
The nomination OF New York or some of its
suburbs in adjacent states or on adjacent
islands as substitute for the Capital the site
of the exposition is backed by only q few New
Workers. These few are already divided among
themselves concerning the particular suburb
Of that city which shall be honored by selec-
ton. Outside of New York the opinion in favor
Of the Capital as the site, If a worlds exposi-
ton is to be held, Is practically unanimous
The condition Of public opinion in the other
commercial cities Of the republic will inevita-
bly, prevent the holding of this exposition at
New York. The only substantial result for
which the few eleventh-hour advocates of New
York can hope is the defeat Of the project to
make Washington the site Of worlds fair in
1892, and the killing of all plans for an exposi-
ton in America in that year. As a rule not
much satisfaction is derived even during the
performance by those who play the dog-in-the-
manger act, and the spectators or the public at
large often supplement the performance with
substantial indications of their disapproval
