The Passion PLAY.

What indeed proved a revelation to
the fair sized but intensely enthusias-
tic audience that last night gathered at
the Auditorium, was the first exhibit
tion in this city of the much heralded
and famous moving pictures of the
well known and much read about
Passion Play" of Oberammergau.
The pictures are masterpieces of
moving Photographic art and it can
truthfully be said that they are bit
more than is actually claimed for them
They move with an accuracy that is
pleasing and are exceptions from the
standpoint of being hard on ones eye
sight. Aside from the pictures, anoth-
er revelation of the entertainment was
the work of the soloiSt Joseph c. Kis-

of The Holy City" Palm Branches"

compelled to respond to were very
good.-Parkersburg Journal of Friday.

First of all in interest to Ohloans is

propriated $5OO,OOO
But the first exposition to come Is
the Greater American exposition at

The Work of an Endless Chain.

Miss Nathalie Schenck's endless
chain continues to roll in dimes at her
home in Babylon, l.. l. Every Mon
day morning the postman drops from
40 to so letters at the door, and on 9TH
er days in the week there are any
where from 10 to %.
MISS Schenck's endless chain was
started last summer, when the sick
and wounded began steaming hcme
from the Santiago campaign. She
thought it would be worthy charity to
supply ice to them, and at the time
calculated that about $4,000 would buy
all the ice necessary.
So, in the enthusiasm of her idea,
Miss Schenck sat down and wrote four
letters, each one to friend. She ask
ed them to send a dime to her, and for
each one to write the same number of
letters to ether friends. They did SO,
and the next day the dimes began COM
ing.
Before the week had ended her mail
was overwhelming. The Postmaster
was compelled to hire help and deliver
the young woman's mail in barrels,
Miss Schenck had to seek assistance
and before long an open appeal was
sent out asking rnat the chain be bro
ken. Hundreds of thousands of let
ters were received and burned. The
endless chain has brougAC in $4,000,
all of which has been turned over to
tAe Red Cross.

mated to BE Captain in the
Active Service.

The records of the war department
show an interesting story in conncc-
tion with the nomination by the presi-
dent of an officer on the retired list of
the army, Robert w. Dowdy. TO be a
captain in active service. At the out
break of the Spanish war Dowdy was
lieutenaut in the Seventeenth infan-
try. As the troops were lying at fam
pa waiting to embark he took his eX-
animation for promotion as captain,
but was found physically unfit. The
recommendation of the board that he
be retired was forwarded to Washing
ton. Meantime the Seventeenth went
to Cuba ard Dowdy went along lie
was in the thick of the fighting every
where, suffered every hardship and eX-
posure and went through the whole
campaign without losing day from ill
ness. just as the troops returned in
victory to the United States the papers
came back from Washington retiring
Dowdy from service. Upon looking into
the case the president was satisfied that
this was particular hardship, and that
the man who was strong enough to rem
der such service as DoWdy had rendered
was good to retain in active service,
hence the nominal ion.

Tea Culture in the South.

From time to time references have APP
peared in the newspapers to experiments
in tea culture in South Carolina. dating
back for nearly ten years. The pubnc
have not taken much interest in the vari-
Gus stories. They have considered tea a
strictly Oriental article and would have
regarded the growth of the rubber tree
in Massachusetts as about probable as
the successful cultivation of tea in the
South. But the Charleston News and
Courier make representations with re-
spect To this industry that are significant
The eNpermenterS have been persistent
and. il appears. have been steadily devel-
oping the enterprise to point where it is
at last pronounced Il success.
The results of opera tons upon a small
patch are carefully noted The site was
an old piney woods pond with "A black and
rich but sour surface soil. This received
thorough SubSoil drainage and Il sweet
ening of burnt mari, after which it was
deeply ploughed. 1t took Il year or two.
however, for the original depraVity to be
eliminated. and the results the first year
or two were discouraging, but pruning
and further cultivation began to work i'm
provement. until at last there was some
thing to show for the pains of the pro-
jectors From this redeemed swamp lot
a crop of fifty-six pounds of green leaf
was gathered in 1892. The following year
the product was eighty-one pounds; a
year later ISL pounds; in 1895, 30 pounds
gathered and what is to come, Il crop of
about 1900 pounds of green leaf is expect
ed.
There are about 900 plants in this tea
garden. Oriental tea gardens usually
contain about 20o0 plants to the acre. The
latest production to the bush in the South
Carolina experiment is five ounces of tea
In Japan the average production is not
more than one ounce to the bush: in
China between one and two and in India
between three and five ounces. Careful
reckoning has been made of the cost of
production per pound including the items
of pruning, fertilizing, cultivation. leaf
picking and factory work, which foot up
Zig cents a pound. and it has been pos
sible to sell the refined tea at dollar a
pound, even without protective duty.
The first cost of a tea plantation Is con-
siderable. but relatively less the larger
the area. When the plant is once well
established 1t is practically for all time,

A good story of John ID. Rockefeller
the millionaire. is told by a correspond
ent of the Boston Journal: A newly en-
gagged clerk in the employ of the Stand
ard Oil Company was sent to work in a
small room that contained a health lift

this clerk was particularly busy with fig
ures. a small, black-mustached man. quiet
good morning." walked on tiptoe to the
corner and exercised for a quarter of an
hour. 1t became a bore to the clerk.
who at last. one day, remarked with con-
siderable heat to the stranger:
How do you expect me to do my work
properly while you are fooling with that
blasted machine? I'm getting tired of it,.
Why don't you put it where it won't
worry a person to death?'
Il am very sorry it annoys you" said
the stranger flushing. II will have it re-
moved at once.
A porter took ii away within an hour
A few days later the clerk was sent for
by Mr.. Flagler. whom he found in earn
est converse ton with the small black
mustached man. The latter smiled at
seeing him. gave Flagler some instruc-
tons and left the room.
'Will you tell me who that gentleman
is?" the young man asked, a light be-
ginning to break upon him.
THAT was Mr.. Rockefeller" was the
reply.
1t was the clerks first acquaintance
with the head of the great corpora ton by
which he was employed.
