a VISIT TO oRER.AMMRRaAu.
Rev. Robert Barrett's Lecture on the
Passion PLAY.

Rev. EODSrt barreCt6 Lecture on the
Passion Play.
Catholic Library hall was fairly well
filed last night by cultured audience TO
listen to Rev Robert Barrett's lecture on
the Passion Play at r-Ammergau.
The diversity OF opinion concerning the
Passion Play, aud the great interest which
has ceUtered in its production
in the last two decades, we're
sufficient 20 arouse an interest in what DIR.
Barrett might have to say. The refusal Of
Rev. Robb White, rector Of Christ church,
to witness the performance while in ODER
Ammergau last summer, and his very pro-
nounced views concerning the play,
added interest to the subject. The audience
was made up principally Of the members
of st. Johns and St. Matthews cOngrega-
tons, comparatively few members Of Christ
church congregation being present
Rev. o. p Fitzsimons introduced the
lecturer. DIR. Barrett prefaced his lecture
with a reference TO the various opinions
held by church people concerning the
great drama. He set at rest some
Of the rumors which were current
last year concerning. the management and
production Of the Passion Play, one of
which was that 1t was controlled by syn
dicate in Munich, and was a speculative en-
terprise. He recalled briefly the history Of
the play and described. in a graphic manner,
his visit to Ober-Ammergau the journey
from Munich into the remote Bavarian
valley, and the little Swiss village
Of 200 houses and 200 peasant inhabitants
which for nearly three centuries has been
the scene. every ten years, of the great re-
ligious drama instituted and maintained in
pious commemoration of the deliverance of
the valley from the black plague.
DIR. Barrett and his party were the guests
in Ober-Ammergau of the King Herod of
the Passion Play. The lecturers descrips
ton of the people, the rude theater where
the play is given, of the great cosmopoli-
tan audience which assembled there, of the
play itself and its splendid production, was
graphic and intensely interesting.
DIR. Barrett had some hesitation at first
whether he should witness the play, but,
after studying its history and the people
by whom it is given, he was convinced that,
since it was his privilege, it became his duty
to see it, and he did.
10 the limited space of a newspaper arti-
Gle it is impracticable, with justice to the
subject, TO attempt a report Of the
lecturers description Of the play. Only
those who heard the lecture can appreciate it,
DR.. Barrett regards the Passion Play as
one of the great periodical events of the
religious world.

CLUBBED WITH AN AK.

Frances Dee Nearly Splits Harry
Grants Head Open.
Harry Grant (colored) was struck in the
face and head with an ak last night about
$50 o'clock by Frances Dee, a colored
woman, and was seriously wounded
The trouble occurred at Anna Johnsons
house in Congress street lane, near Haber-
sham street. The Dee woman occupies the
second floor of the house. About O'Clock
Grant called to see her. He had been
drinking, and she refused to see MIN. This
didn't worry him at all, and he started up
stairs, determined to enter her apartments
Frances knocked him senseless and down
the stairs with a stick of wood, and then
threw bucket of water over him.
Grant recovered after awhile and again
attempted to force his way where
he wasn't wanted He started
upstairs, although warned not to go. He
continued on his way, however, and Frances
blew out the lights and met him the second
time with an ak which she piled vigorously.
She struck him first in the mouth and then
on the head, knocking him downstairs a
second time. The negro bled profusely, and
was in an unconscious condition.
The affair created considerable ex-
eitement, and the cries Of POLICE
brought Officer Reilly to the scene.
He arrested Frances, who made no attempt
to escape after wounding Grant. The am,
bulance was sent for, and Grant was taken
to a physician for treatment 1t is prob
able that when he RECEIVERS he will display
little more judgment about trying to get
into places where he is not wanted.

A LAW FIRM HAULED UP.
LESTER 81 RAVANEo CHARGED
WITH CONTEMPT.

A Claim That They Used Language
Disrespectful to the Court in q
Brief Filed in the { ase Of Frank E..
Durant Versus John Muler-The
Objectionable Language Quoted
ATLANTA, April 24.-In an order promul-
gated to-day the supreme court calls upon
q prominent firm Of Savannah lawyers,
Lester & Ravenel, TO show cause why they
should not be dealt with for contempt The
cause Of this action is recited in the order
itself. the text of which follows: Rufus F.
Lester and J. P Ravenel, members of the
bar and officers of this court, engaged in
practice under the firm name of Lester &
Ravenel, having in their brief filed in the
case of John Doe, ex dem. Frank f. Du-
rant, ct. al, plaintiffs in error. VS.. Richard
Roe, John Muller, et.aL, defendants in error,
which brief was read aloud in open court by
the clerk Wednesday, April %, 1891, upon
the hearing of a motion to enter said case
on the docket of the present term of the
court, and thus misbehaved in their official
conduct as attorneys. and as officers of the
court it is ordered that they each appear in
person at the bar of this court on May 2,
ct 10 o'clock, aud from day to day there
after until the matter is heard and dis
posed of, and show cause why
they should not be adjudged guilty
of contempt, and be dealt with accord
ingiy. The discourteous and disrespectful
language herein referred to is as follows:
the supreme court should be bound by the
acts of the legislature, unless the acts in
question be unconstitutional, and can have
no legal right to prescribe different mode
or fix different lines for the taking up and
hearing of causes than those specified in the
acts. The supreme court is created by the
legislature, and its duties and powers pre-
scribed. To act contrary, therefore, to the
very act which gave its existence would
clearly be unconstitutional The case of
Logan VS.. the Western and Atlantic Rail-
road Company. decided by the court on
Jan. 81, 1881, cannot apply to this
case, for such application would be uncon-
stitutional and illegal. We have not been
able to discover from whence the court got
the thirty days referred to in the said case
of Logan VS.. the Western and Atlantic rail
road
1T is further ordered that the clerk serve
each of said attorneys with copy of this
rule by transmitting the same by mail ad-
dressed to them respectively at Savannah,
the place of their residence If the truth be
that either member of said firm took no part
in filing said brief, and did not know that it
contained the offensive contents above
quoted, his affidavit so declaring may be
sent in answer to this rule and personal ap-
pearance dispensed with as to him. Done
in open court April "a, 1891" Here follow

parilla. Having rapidly won its way to the
front Hoods Sarsaparia is now the leading
blood purifier and tonic medicine all over the
country, its sales far exceeding those of all
other sarsaparillas and blood purifiers. The

Sarsaparilla an honest medicine at an honest
price, honestly recommended for those
troubles which it honestly cures. This is
the secret of the marvellous success of
