THE PASSION. PLAY.

Members of Catholic Church in Long ISL
and Present it on the Stage.
A representation of the passion, cruel
fixion, death, burial and resurrection Of
Christ was given in pantomime in St.
Mary's hail, in Winfield, l.. l., last Sun
day night: About three hundred specta-
tors, mostly women and young girls, wit
messed the production. Father T. A.
Shumack, of College Point, and num-
Der of other clergymen occupied front
seats. The entertainment was given as
a benefit for Father Peter Dauffenbach,
who has charge of that parish. He is OK
psc,ed nome from the Holy Land shortly,
and bis Pensioners by way of surprise
intended redecorating the church and
parsonage out of the proceeds.
Anthony Schmitt, who unprecedented
Christ, had charge of the production. He
was assisted to some extent by the Sis
tors of St. Mary, connected with the par
ish. The remainder of the cast was
made up OF the young women of the
choir and members of the church. Miss
Mary Kelly impersonated the Virgin
Mary, Miss Nellie Downing took the
part OF Mary Magdalene, Miss Kate Muir
ply that of Veronica, Miss Annie Roche
was st. John the Evangelist, and Miss
Barbara Becker was one of the angels
that watched at the tomb Among the
male impersonators were james Becker,
who took the part Of Plate and st.
James, Peter Hammer, who acted as
Judas Iscariot and Joseph of Arimathea;
William Lehecha was Nicodemus. The
company of soldiers who guarded the
tomb were Conrad Hammiche, Captain
Christopher Timan, George Brooch and
William Becker.
Every seat in the hall was occupied,
and when the curtain rose on the first
scene of Christ in the garden deep hush
pervaded the place. But the solemnity
Of the scenes soon wore off and specta-
tors anxious to obtain good views stood
on seats and looked over the heads of the
gathering. A calcium light in the rear
part of the hall was used to throw col
ored lights on the different scenes. The
garden scene depicted Christ in the
agonies of prayer, while asleep near him
lay his disciples, Peter, James and John.
1t concluded with the presence ct an an
gel, who hands ohslioe TO Christ.
The betrayal Of Christ by Judas is pre-
sented in the second scene. Christ 10
marched away between soldiers, while
Peter vainly tries to assist hin master,
Then followed the soone before PLATE
and the acourging and erewning al Christ
with thorns. Ohriat'a condemnation came
next, and he was led forth by the throas.

than they are aware OF. Who ever heard
Of an Irish Catholic anarchist, a nihilist
or ultra socialist? The Roman Catholic
Church is a mighty bulwark; she holds
her people in martial array for the faith.
She stands as powerful witness for
truth and faith. She believes in some
thing and testiies to it. She believes in
many things we do not, but she does not
bow down and worship idols, and behind
it all is the ground work Of Christian
faith. Said DR.. Parker: II find myself

lie Church than to many Protestants,

FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE.
TOM JOHNSON HAS HARD ROW 10

TOM JOHNSON HAS HARD ROW 10 GO
 OVER, BUT FEELS CONFIDENT.
 CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 5.-The most re- markable and savagely personal congress sional campaign in the history of Ohio closed in the Twenty-first district today. The district is m ade up of twenty six wards of this city. Tom l.. Johnson, the demo. cratic candidate, has, to quote his own language, made the flight for his life, - and although the district gave Mckinley nearly TOGO plurality last fall the most con- fident supporters of T. D. Burton, the re- publican candidate, are not claiming his election by over 2500. Johnson says he will be elected by 15O0.
 George Groot is the populist candidate, and democrats and republicans agree that upon the size of his vote depends tue elec- ton. If he gets less than 5000 Johnson s chances will be better than Burton 8. Democrats say that Groot will not poll more than 2500. Republicans assert that he will get 5000. Estimates cannot be based upon previous elections. Johnson s party organ has fought him and many democratic leaders have opposed him.
 As an offset to this is Burton'S unpopu- larity in his own party. It has been a campaign of person alities, each candidate having been accused of offenses innumer- able. As fitting climax to such a cam paign warrants were sworn out by Burton Saturday for the arrest of a dozen men for illegal registration. Thorp, @ leader of the crowd, was discharged for lack of evl- dence and today sued Burton for $25, ,000 for false impriso ment. The betting is $10 to $80 on Burton, with plenty of John- son money offered,
