THE PASSION PLAY.
Rev. Sam Smith Describes and
ADproyes the RELIGIOUS Drama.

u
1.-The Passion Play'' was the theme of
Rev. S. G. Smith at the Peoples church
last evening. DR.. Smith delivered his
lecture in narrative form and in style
of description in full keeping with his
reputation. He reviewed the history of
miracle plays and their relation to liter
allure and the religious nature OF the
drama in general. Having witnessed
the play SO recently, he was able to por-
tray his impressions in a graphic man
ner from memorv. He described Ober-
ammergau, in the Bavarian alps, where
he witnessed the play. The town
contains about 1000 people. The
actors are German residents of the
town. The place was All amphitheater,
with covering for only a portion of the
5000 people who witnessed the play.
These people remained intensely inter-
ested spectators for the eight hours
taken up by the presentation. The
audience was made up Of people i'll all
conditions of life, representing twenty
nations. He spoke Of the wonderful
dramatic power of the play. Although
it rained six of the eight hours Of the
play, and fully 1000 of the spectators
were without any shelter, not an lndi-
vidual stirred.
"a triumph of the dramatic art un-
paraIleIed,' is the way he character
lied the rendition. He spoke in APP
prevail of the reference of the play. the
high character of acting and the devout
and religious impression. At times,
nearly the whole audience was moved
to tears.
at is worth trip to Europe to see
the Passion Play" said he. He also
said: "The pope has sent his blessing
to the inhabitants of Oberammergau.

THE CABLE EXTENSION.
Contractor Riney Says the Bridge
Can Be Completed in Ten Days.

Contractor Riney Says the Bridge
Can Be Completed in Ten Days.
Cable trains can be running over the
Selby avenue bridge i'll ten days, if
necessary.
1t seems, after all, that the street car
company is behind the real delay. and
that, Were the bridge finished this
morning, the trains would not start
until such time as pleased the conf
pany. M. Riney, the contractor who
has built nearly ali of the bridges in
st. Paul, is the contractor in this case,
and rises to remark that the article in
the SUNDAY GLOBE reflects Oh the
wrong man. According to his state
ment, his is not the broad pair of Shout
ders upon which blame should rest. In
the first place, the masonry was to have
been coMpleted so as to have begun the
erection of the iron work by June l, ut
which time SIS cars of iron, of 100 tons,
were delivered. But the masonry was
not completed until June %, occasioning
a delay Of over three weeks. Since
June 25, over 600 tons OF iron have been
placed in position and 5000 rivetS driven
in the work. A force of thirty-eight
men has worked week days and Sun
days for the past twenty-three days,
and that number is now Oil the pay roll
at wages ranging from $l.75 to S. per
day. Everything has been done, says
Mr. Riney, since the masonry was fin
ished, to push the bridge to completion.
This statement seems to lift the blame
from the contractor. but some one must
assume it. The street railway CON-
pany says it will be ready to operate the
line by the end Of next week. but the
bridge will not be ready. Mr.. Riney
saws he can have the bridge ready, all
but the painting-which can be done
later-in ten days. This is narrowing
things down. If the bridge is ready in
ten days and the cars are not running,
it will be an easy matter to locate the
blame.

RIOT ON A TRAIN.
A Crowd Held at Bay by the Nerve
"a of Conductor Smith.

A Crowd Held at Bay by the Nerve
q of Conductor Smith.
On the Great Northern train which
left Spring Park at TAO and reached st.
Paul at S:55 last night, was little riot,
which at one time threatened to assume
serious proportions, but was checked
by the nerve and courage OF Conductor
Smith. A party of roughs had posses
sion of one of the coaches, and under
the influence of beer or other refresh
ment undertook to make things hilar-
ious. When the conductor went
through, a man who appeared to be the
leading spirit of the crowd had no
ticket. He told the official he had lost
his ticket, but that he proposed
to ride just the same, adding
with an oath, that they had
chartered the train. Conductor Smith
promptly called the bluff and demanded
the ticket or cash fare, with the alter
native of summarily quitting the train.
The man became abusive and the crowd
insulting and suddenly fight was pre-
cipitated. An unknown man struck
Smith from behind as the signal for an
assault, and in the melee which ensued
he was also struck with cane, knock
ing out tooth. He promptly knocked
down one aSsaiIant and then, with the
timely aid of his brakemen, held the
crowd at bay. When Minneapolis was
reached the excitement quieted down,
and was renewed on the way to st.
Paul, but no one attempted further pos
tive demonstration when the con-
ductor was in sight. Eye witnesses to
the affair say Conductor Smith behaved
very properly and would have been
justified in reserting to more extreme
measures.

A METEoRIC CAREER.
The ST. Paul Experience and
Troubles of J. W. Ham, Arrest
ed at Salt Lake City.

The ST. Paul Experience and
Troubles of J. w. Ham, Arrest
ed at Salt Lake City.
The arrest of ]. w. Fam at Salt Lake
City on the charge of ENLIGHTENMENT at
the instance of Judge Schoonmaker, OF
this city. as detailed in the telegraphic
columns of yesterdays GLOBE, recalled
the s'Iongshot" career of that gentle
man in this city, and the fact of his
quietly leaving to win renown on other
turf. MI. Ham was an active real estate
agent in this city. He in time became
fairly we'll known in a social as we'll as
business way, and married lady from
Cleveland, o., who had some property.
He did an apparently good business here
and was trusted with confidential affairs.
When tile Bodega concert saloon be-
came a financial failure last summer
he was made the assignee. He was also
assignee of the Burke livery stable
About that time he lived in fine style
and took an elegant office in the New
York Life building, to and from which
he was conveyed by spanking. team OF
dappled gray horses attached to VIC
toria. He spent several weeks last
summer at the Hotel Lafayette. Lake
Minnetonka After running the b.
dega as a concert saloon for a couple of
months it was found to be all expense
and no profit to the creditors, and was
finally sold to F. J. Huber, the present
proprietor. The creditors then began a
vain effort to secure a settlement.
Hanlm handed lot Of bills to the ref
cree who was designated to settle. the
accounts But the bills had not been
paid nor releases filed. After q time it
was learned that Hamm had left the
city. Although his friends represented
his absence as being temporary no
amount of effort secured his return.
Judge Schoonmaker, who, together
with Hamn's wife, was on the assignee
bond, then took hand and tried to Sc
cure the return of Hanaf, who, it was
learned, had pocieted about $4,100 of
the assets before leaving.
The creditors began to push the sure
ties on the bond. and Judge Scheon-
maker. went to the district court and
made statement of the facts. The
court ordered the removal of Ham as
assignee, and subsequently granted a
writ of attachment covering the effects
of Ham and his wife. 1t WAS fOunet that
Mrs. Ham owned real estate, and that
an effort had been made in quiet way
by Ham to dispose of his and his wife's
property here, but without success, be-
fore the attachment issued. The prop
erty levied upon will be sufficient to
indemnify Judge Shoemaker as
surety. 1t was deemed best to have
personal service of the writ Oh Ham and
his wife. Judge Schoonmaker heard OF
their being at Hot Springs and finally
found them at Salt Lake City, where he
caused Hams arrest as above stated. II

SIX CoNUNDRUMs

For Mr.. Stickney to Answer In
His Lecture This Morning.
Pertinent questions for Mr.. Stickney
to answer in his address before the
chamber of commerce this morning:
First-Is Mr.. Stiekney honest In his
desire to give fair chance to mechanics
and business houses in this city: if so.
why does he purchase the supplies for
his road in Chicago?
Seeond-Why did he discriminate
against the st. Paul foundry in the bid
for iron work to be used in the Metro
poIitan opera house, when the St. Paul
foIndry's bid was the lowest, but gave
the work to a Louisville firm, for an
other class of work, and did not give
the foundry plans that they could figure
intelligentIy from?
Third-Why did he buy the boilers in
New York city. as against anything
manufactured in the state, at greatly
advanced prices, when it is known
that for desfrabiIity, economy, or
safety, they are inferior to the ordinary
tubular boiler?
Fourth-Why has his architect, Mr..
Reed, publicly stated that no firm in
Minnesota had intelligence enough to
heat and ventiIate the opera house, and
that for any st. Paul firm to figure on
this work would only be a waste OF
time?
Fifth-Can Mr.. Stickney or his archi-
tect, Reed, refer to heating job that
has been done by an outside firm that
is giving satisfaction?
/ The writer, representing twenty-four
firms in st. Paul and Minneapolis doing
steam and hot water heating, would ask
ii it is not fact that in heating. both
by steam and hot water, st. Paul and
Minneapolis are further advanced,
and have reached nearer tate of per-
lection, than any cities in the Union?
1t is we'll enough for Mr.. Stiekney to
talk or home industries, but he should
practice what he breaches; and, if the
business men of St. Paul and Minneap-
Oils will only patronize the railroads
that patronize them. the st. Paul q
Kansas City will get very little trade
from the Twin Cities.
