As Strangers See Us.

Col. Gray is an enthuastic admirer
of the beautiful in nature, and was
greatly charmed during his stay here
by the matchless landscapes about
Mineral Point. The scene from the
knoll just south of VIM. Berry's farm
residence, the colonel declared to be
uneXcelled by any he had ever seen
in his travels from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the Great Lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico. From that
grassy knoll are seen the Platte
Mounds. the Blue Mounds, the city
of Dodgeville, the villages of Blue
Mounds and Barneyeld, and the
church steeple in the village Of Perry,
Dane county. 1t is doubtful if many
of the residents have ever visited
that commanding spot or appreciated
the matchless grandure of the pam
Drama there to be seen. The colonel
was also delighted by the rich floral
display in the windows Of our busi-
ness houses, In which commendable
respect he thought we excelled any
place he knew.

Shall we Celebrate the 4th?

This question is heard frequently
about this time in the year. Moan
swer has yet been made, and there
is now but little probability that an
affirmative response can be given for
this year. Better so than to have a
half way, fake celebration. No cele-
bration worthy of the day or the town
can be had without the active coop
Grafton of all the people, and the
vigorous support of representative
citizens, No celebration ought to be
attempted or countenanced as aspec-
ulative enterprise for the benefit of a
few business men of any class. We
have had examples of so-called cele-
brations the recollection of which Is
modification, and repetition of
which were worse than to advertise
that Mineral Point will not celebrate
Independence Day in 1896.

Memorial Day Observance.

Favorable weather was vouchsafed
us for the exercises of Memorial Day
in Mineral Point, and the people as
usual took fitting interest. A goodly
number Of veterans assembled in the.
morning, and We're conveyed in car
riages, kindly furnished by the sew
eral livery men of the city, to the
cemeteries, where the graves of de-
ceased comrades were generously
strewn with flowers, and each pro-
vided with a new flag.
At 80 the procession formed in
front of the city hall, and led by the
Mineral Point band moved to the
city park, where the following pro-
gram was carried out.
Music by the band.

Col. Gray's oration was a grand
flow Of high patriotism and charm
ing eloquence from beginng to close.
He spoke fully forty five minutes.
and though many of his audience
were standing, not one withdrew or
lost interest for a moment. Warm
and frequent applause was the only
interruption. The universal judgment
is that among the many good Mem
orial Day orations heard here in the
past, Col. Gray's was equal to the
best. His discourse was more in EN-
phasis Of the Importance Of preserv-
ing the blessings secured to u by the
achievements Of our dead soldiers and
patriot statesmen than in glorifica-
tion Of their heroism and wisdom.
Many expressed the hope that Col.
Gray may be again secured for an
address on some public occasion. iii
such case the mere announcement
Of his coming will assure a great au
dience.

THE " TROJ1N :"
Father Cleary's Great Lecture.
lny courtesy Of the Democrat,

(By courtesy of the Democracy
On last Thursday evening, at the
opera hall in this city. Rev, James NJ,
Cleary delivered his famous lecture
upon "The Great Passion Play at
Ober- Ammergau" He was greeted
by large audience, the hall being
filed to oyertlowing. The lecture was
a powerful one powerful In natural
ness and simplicity. AIr. E G. Fielder
in introducing Father Cleary to the
audience, rightly spoke of him as one
Wisconsin's greatest men. In an un-
affected manner the reverend lecturer
told the sto-y OF the Great Passion
Play at Ober- Ammtrgau; how in the
fulfillment Of vow, the greatest
drama in human history is re-enacted
every ten years, upon the stage, In
the humble village of Ober- Ammer-
gau, which Is situated in the Bayaran
Alps; how the great and learned OF
the world are drawn thither by the
marvellous acting Of the simple. hearted
players. He yiyidly described the
scenes Of the great drama as presented
to an audience numbering over four
thousand, from stage which held
over six hundred actors, trained in
in their several parts by the greatest
masters of the dramatic art. So
interesting was the story, and so vivid
his descriptions, that the lecturer held
the audience In rapt attention for an
hour and fifty minutes. He stated in
beginning of the lecture that the
time fixed for opening the play is
near the season of Pentecost, or Whit.
suntide; and in closing he gave a
heart thrilling description Of the
Crucliction scene, where strong, word
ly men, who had hardly ever given a
thought to religious subjects, joined
with the vast audience in sobs and
tears. The words of the play is in
German, but the acting is In the
language OF humanity, and All catch
the purpose and meaning. When the
play is ended, and the andlencr, gath
cred from all parts of the earth,
swells out of the theatre, earnestly dis
cussing the wonderful acts presented,
again Is enacted the great Pentecos-
tai scene wherein each hears the Ian
guage wherein he was born. The
play is wonderful one, and its story
was grandly, vet simply, told by the
lecturer.

The work on the nutO by Dewey
Haywood was exceptionally fine;
especially the Hungarian selection,
which was given with unusual bril-

impresses one with the idea that he
las made 1t special study, as
bis phasing was so characteristic.
