rHE aPASsIoN PLAY.o


In view Of the fact that the attempt
of actors in New York recently to pro-
duce and act out the scenes Of Passion
Week, was suppressed by law, it is all
the more gratifying to the managers
of the Passion Play" to be given at
the Auditorium next week, that their
reverent presentation has been so
warmly commended by the pulpit.
Among the many letters received by
the managers is one from the rector OF
st. Matthew'S Episcopal Church, Bos-
ton.
Il attended your representation of
the Passion Play, and / am glad to
commend. without any reservation,
your unique. helpful and reyerent pre-
sentation of the subjects which endear
the name Of Christianity to us. Fur
thermore, think. that all
Christians could sustain and ad-
vance the object which you have in
mind, by recommending it wherever il
is presented. Wishing you all success
/ am yours faithfully,
(Rev.) Albert George.
Rector of st. Matthew'S Episcopal
Church, Boston,
The Rev. Father Harold, of Wash
ington, says:
Il never could witness the acting OF
the Passion as at Ober-Ammergau
could not conscientiously bear to see q
travesty of the awful acts and words
of the Passion Of our Lord But the ST.
lent picture as presented in your most
wonderful exhibition is an object les

heartily commend il, and wish you sue

AUsTRlA's IMPERIAL PAwNsHoP


Austria has an imperial pawnshop. It
was established in Vienna in 1907,
when there was great distress among
the poor in the southern part OF the
empire 1t was designed as a way TO
secure to the starving some means OF
immediate relief. and by putting the
rate Of interest as low as possible and
the valuations as high as possible, and
embodying in the system every advan-
tage that could be given to those who
sought to make loans, It was found
TO be 50 effective that it soon gained
the imperial sanction, and it was not
long until its managers were made
public officials under the direction Of
the minister of the interior. This is
substantially the status OF the institu-
ton at this time. The rates are 80 low
that the business done on the cheap
goods and chattels OF the poor could
not possibly make the establishment
self-sustaining; but people who have
been suddenly reduced in oircum-
stances or who are temporarily em-
barrassed keep the margins on the
right side and enable the institution TO
keep open without the aid OF q subsidy.
In the year 1898 total of S66,015 artd-
cles We're pledged, and of these S4S.562
were redeemed, a remarkable redemp-
ton as compared with the proportions
Of the average pawnshop. The unre-
deemed pledges were sold at public auc-
ton, and whenever they brought more
than the face Of the pledge the balance
was set to the account OF the pledger,
to be refunded amy time within three
years.-London Standard.

4 Successful Entertainment.

The minstrel entertainment given be-
fore large audiences both Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, by the celebrated
Martha Washington Ebony Bellies met
with deserved success. Mrs. Geo. II.
Walker as Martha Washington, the inter-
lCcutor, was very imposing and greatly adj
mired in two costumes of pure white. She
filed the role in her usual charming man
ner. The end women looked very fetch
ing in their black and yellow costumes and
frequently brought down the house by
their jokes and songs. The circle did fine
chorus work and they were dressed in
white waists, black skirts and huge red
bows. Tuesday evening Messrs. Royce
and Whitman danced very acceptably and
another feature was the singing by Mrs.
Beddy, Mr.. and Mrs. Buck.
Wednesday evening Miss Maynard of
Walpoe sang, also Mrs. Beddy and Mr..
and Mrs. Buck.
A very pretty tableau effect was pro-
duced when Miss Ethel Dickinson of Bos-
ton, dressed in bunting, sang a patriotic
song assisted by chorus OF 'coOns' who
had their heads thrust through sun-howers
which had been painted on a screen plac-
ed across the rear of the stage.
Miss Chase, the pianist, played very
finely both evenings. She was assisted by
an orchestra from Bellows Falls of five
pieces. Each evening after the entertain
ment dancing was enjoyed by the young
people until late hour Refreshments
were served in the lower hall. The direc-
ton of the whole entertainment was under
the efficient charge of Mrs. b. T. Phelps
