Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
Frederick, Jan 26.-For the past
week fox-hunting has been almost the
daily sport Of many Frederick people.
The chase usually occurs near town,
and numbers pour forth to get a
glimpse of Reynard and his pursuers.
II is no rare occurance for two foxes TO
be in the same chase. Twice OF late
has the fatigued animal taken refuge
under the barn on the farm Of w. III.
Wix.
Muskrats were never more plentiful
here than this Winter All the trap
pers report excellent luck, and fine
game. The ease with which they are
captured is attributed to the mild
weather. Both meat and fur are in
lively demand and bring good prices.
The mild weather enables the oyster
tongers in Murderkill river to continue
their work uninterrupted, consequent
ly the market is kept supplied with the
delicious bivalves for which Delaware
bay and tributaries are noted.

A Sussex county man obtained some
pills from a drug store for the cure of
insomnia. That night, in the dark, he
found what he thought was the pill
box and swallowed, as he supposed,
three of the pellets. He then slept
soundly. In the morning il was dis
covered that he had gulped down three
of his wife's shirt-waist buttons.
a certain man, residing near Freder-
| lea, some time ago took dose OF two
pills in order that some wrong be
righted. Shortly afterward, however,
| he felt a burning sensation in one OF
his nasal passages, which caused some
pain and violent sneezing. To increase
his alarm a black substance began to
ooze from his nose. After many fits
of sneezing one of the pills was sud-
| denly elected from his nose. Since that
| time every attempt at swallowing two
pills at one time results in an antip-
athy between them, one of them going
downward and the other invariably go
| ing upward through the nose. HI
takes only one pill at time now.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE PASSION PLAY.


The people who weathered the storm,
the representatives of the press, and
even the manager OF the Passion Play
were surprised at seeing over one
thousand people assembled at tho Au-
ditorium last night to witness the pre-
sentation of the moving pictures. AS
in all the metropolitan cities, Professor
Ernest Lacy. the lecturer, has already
established himself among the Will
mington critics as one of the foremost
lecturers of the day. His voice. well
under control is most excellently
adapted to lecture work. and his enun-
citation was so perfect that he could be
distinctly heard in all parts of the hall.
The canvas box containing the cine
matograph, which was removed at
great expense from the first floor to
the rear balcony, requiring the services
of three expert lenze makers TO make
new lenzes to serve TO show the pic
lures at such a long distance. That
the interest centres among the
churches is shown by the list OF promi-
nenta clergymen who have so far at
tended the presentation, among them
being Bishop Leighton Coleman, Rev.
p. Isenschmidt, Rev. Ashton Henry.
Rev. Ezra Tinker. Rev. p b. Cabell.
Rev. X. J. Hammond, Rev. John
France, Rev. George c. Hall. Many
have postponed their witnessing the
L performance until the matinees, promi-
nent among them being Rev. w. L. S.
Murray, ID. ID. The impressions of
those having seen the moving pictures
are very favorable, and the commenda-
ton is heard on all sides. In fact, is a
question If anything has ever taken
such a strong hold on the people Of
Wilmington, unless Il has been a re-
vival. Several complimentary letters
have been sent to the management
| from the clergymen. Rev. p. B. Cabell
writes Having accepted your very
| courteous invitation to attend last
| evening your pictorial presentation Of
| the Passion Play, take pleasure in ad-
vising you of the favorable impression
| which the entertainment left upon my
/ mind. While cOnfessing to some pre-
/ judice against exhibitions of this PEI
/ culiar kind, l cannot but think that this
one will do good by arousing In the
popular mind new interest In matters
Of sacred history, and even the devout
student of such things may preserve
| unimpaired his own cherished ideals OF
those sacred scenes by remembering
that what he sees is only the concep-
l tion of a pious and simple minded
| peasantry ultimating itself in sort OF
l worship Respectfully yours,
