OBERAMMERGAU'S PLAY.
Preparations Already in Hand for thu
Presentation of This Year

Preparations Already in Hand for the
Presentation of This Year.
Although the passion Play" at Ober-
ammergau will not be given until nearly
seven months hence, the work of prepa-
ration is going on vigorously in the little
village consecrated to this art. A cor
respondent of The London Standard,
writing from Berlin, says: ''The building
inclosing the stage is almost finished and
already towers aloft in noble simplicity,
preserving in its outward form the archi-
tectural style of Grecian temple. In
the interior the work of staying and
proping the covering and decorations of
the side wall and back grounds is going
busily forward. The staging for the cur
tain is also ready. The latter will be
constructed SO as to separate in the cen
ter and roll toward the top and bottom.
"The hand of the principal stage au-
thority at Munich, Herr Lautenschlager,
is to be recognized in the first outlines of
the preparations. Everywhere are to be
seen practical arran gements for raising
and lowering the backgrounds and cell
ing lights. The light falls in great atmd-
ance through the glass roof Of the
stage, which may be further illuminated
through the sliding sash doors upon both
sides, as may be required. The stage it.
self is backed by a painted horizon, which,
after the manner Of a transformation
scene, is SO constructed as to admit of be-
ing shifted horizontally. Very interest,"
ing are the additions to the middle stage;
there are arcades, city gates, and houses
of the high priests, all of timber, oiled
linen and sheet metal, which are capable
of being taken to pieces for storing. The
arcades upon the left side and the house
of PLATE are finished, and await only the
hand of the painter.
Gin proportion as these halls are airy,
so the middle stage, with its tile and
glass roof, has an appearance of solidity.
But here also the first glance is decep-
tive, for the walls are but shells of tim
Der covered with mating of reeds, and
finished off with layer of cement two
centimeters in thickness-an innovation
which is a complete substitute for mas
sive mason work-offers sufficient re-
sistance to the deteriorating effect Of the
rough highland climate, and naturally
costs much less. Now that the side ar
cades are completed and in place, the
width of the proscenium can for the first
time be appreciated. 1t has breadth of
forty-two meters. The stage of the Court
theatre at Munich has breadth of only
Twenty-Five meters. The building of the
boxes and other seats for the spectators
is already finished in the rough; they
will contain 1000 numbered places. The
work of excavating the earth for the
orchestra is well under way. A part of
the space for the orchestra will be car
ried under the proScenium, while the
rest will be concealed from the public by
means of a fiat tent roof. Quite worthy
of note is the consumption of timber by
these buildings; up to short time ago
the cost of hewn building timber had
reached the sum of $4,000 marks. There
are about twenty-five workmen employ
ed in the construction"

Smallest Draft on Record.

The smallest draft ever issued by the
treasury department will be drawn in the
course of few days. 1t is for the mag
nificent sum of one cent and is to pay for
property worth, at the lowest estimate,
$4,000. At the last session of congress
the representative from Lowell succeeded
in having bill passed appropriating
5000, 900 for the erection of a public build
ing here and the purchase of a site. Half
a dozen different property owners were
anxious to have the government buy
their property, as they thought it would
be good thing for them. The famous
bunting mill, in which Gen. B. F. Butler
is such a large stakeholder, owns large
plot of ground near the mill, and offered
it to the government for very low price,
thinking that if the postoffice was built
there the companys other property would
enhance in value.
Considerable property was owned by
an estate at the other end of the town,
and for the same reason they offered
land equally as desirable. The contest
between the two waged warm for a
time until at last the Butler people
executed master move and offered the
property to the government for 81. But
the other syndicate heard what had been
done and offered their ground for /
cent, and this offer the government
finally accepted, and the draft for cent
will soon be sent 10 the agent of the
owners. The same routine will have to
be followed in regard to this draft as if
it were for $1,OOO,0OO. All the papers
will have to be carefully examined by
the accounting officers in the first in
stance, and there will be about fourteen
signatures on the warrant before the
draft is finally signed by the secretary of
the treasury.-Lowell (Mass.) Letter.

Since the last issue of our W. G. T.
U. column, the Rising Sun W. G. T.
U. has held two interesting and proita-
BILE meetings, one at Mrs. W. W. Car
ter's, the other at the NJ. E. Parsonage.
The names of several new members
have been sent in. New literature has
been ordered for the Sabbath Obser-
vance Department; the five W. G. T. U.
boxes are kept supplied with temper
ance literature most of the time. The
Supt. of Petition Work has sent in the
petition with signatures to the Legisla-
ture for the preservation of our Prohibi-
tory Law. About twenty or more of
the Health Calendars have been sold,
making profit of several dollars to
the w. c. T. u, which with the collec
ton taken up at Rev. Anna Shaw's
lecture amounting to nearly ten dollars.
leaves only balance of three dollars to
be drawn from the treasury to meet the
entire expense quite satisfactory to the

ReSolUe3: That we the members of
Rising Sun w. G.. T. u, do commend
and most heartily endorse the step
taken by our worthy merchant, e. R.
Burlington, in disseminating the sale of
tobacco since Jan. l. 1890. And we
hope and pray that his example may be
'ollowed by others in our community.
