Fair Audience.

The Passion Play, a moving story of
Christs life in series of tweuiy-four
pictures, was presented at the theater last

Each picture was preceded by a short
explanatory reference TO its special sig
niiicance, merits, etc, by Prof Albert
]. Whitworth the whole exhibition be-
ing prefaced with an historical account
of the origin of the Ober-Ammergau play.
The lecturer explained that while the
miracle or passion plays which took their
rise in the church representations of the
early Christian era. were In vogue In Eu-
rope in the thirteenth century, they had
gradually fallen into desuetude. This was
the case at ober-Ammergau. where one
Of the earliest of these spectacles was pro-
duced.
Nearly 800 years ago terrible pesli-
fence devastated Europe and was par
uculafy fatal to the inhabitants OF the
Attle village, so much so that The peasants
believing that, the cessation OF he snac
tacie was in some measure responsible for
this visitation, took solemn oath 70 con-
tinue the celebration by commemorating
the death and passion of the Lord once
every ten years with dramatic spectacle,
taken part n by the entire village. Such
is the origin OF the Passion Play" the
last presentation of which was given at
Ober-Ammergau in 1880.
The pictures are fairly weH given. The
audience was mol large, but ID was inter
ested in the exhibition 1t viii be repeated

STRIKE AT BEVIER SETTLED.

PITTsBURG, Kan, July IA train
OF thrse coaches and caboose, con-
tanning $50 colored miners and several
women passed through this city yes
terday on the Frisco road at the rate
of about thirty miles per hour, on it's
way to Weir City. The miners are
for the Kansas and Texas Coal COM
pany, and will work in its shaft No.
30, which is surrounded by wire
trocha. All the morning before the
arrival of the train between forty and
fifty armed guards with Winchesters
were patrolling the outside of
the trocha, and all classes of
visitors were kept at safe distance
from the premises. The newcomers
are said to be from the Pana, ILL.,,
mining district, and are classed as
veterans in strike troubles. The
blinds of the coaches in the train car
rying them were pulled down while
it was passing through this city. AL
though President Wright of the ex-
ecutive board had been notified of the
arrival of the train an hour or two
prior, there was not the least evidence
about the depot of demonstrations of
any sort.

OTIS NEEDS REINFORCEMENTS

WASHINGTON, June 90. Secretary
Alger, Adjutant General Corbin and
Colonel Bird, assistant quartermaster
general, in charge of transportation,
had an hours consultation with the
President relative to the ques-
ton of reinforcements for General Otis
A definite decision has been reached to
continue recruiting men at all the re-
cruiting stations for service in the
Philippines and Secretary Alger said
when he left the White house, after
the conference, that General Otis
would have 40, 0G0 men when the rainy
season closed for resumption of ac-
tive operations.
Officers scattered among the prin-
cipal cities of the country who have
been enlisting regulars only, Will be
instructed Immediately to prepare to
enlist volunteers The present indi-
cations are that about 10, 900 men will
be wanted.
Volunteers will not be accepted in
organizations. Secretary Alger is de-
termined to adhere to that rule. 1t
is the present purpose to disre-
gard state and local lines in
securing the recruits and welding
them into organizations, Regiments
will be designated the First, Second,
Third, etc, volunteer United States
infantry or cavalry. No difficulty is
anticipated in securing the men
needed 1t is believed that the 1000
men who are weekly offering them
selves at the recruiting offices will be
even more willing to enter the army
as two year volunteers than as long
term regulars.
Officers of these volunteer regiments
will be obtained by promoting officers
now in the regular army and by com
missioning many of the best officers
of the volunteer organizations which
saw service.

CHICAGO WANTS THEM ALL.
VIII Make an Effort to Secure All Ct the
National Conventions

CHICAGO, July 1.-The officers and
directors of the Coliseum have consti-
tuted themselves committee to re-
vive Chicago's prestige as "the con-
vention city," and an active compaign
for securing the great political nom-
mating gatherings Of 1900 is about to
be inaugurated. The Coliseum man
ayers will argue solely from the
standpoint that their convention hall
is without peer, present or past.
Representative j. A. Z. Hull, of the
Seventh Iowa congressional district,
is director of the Coliseum company,
and is pulling the necessary wires
with the Republican powers, while
National Committeeman Thomas Ga.
nan is commissioned to keep an eye
on the Democrats The Populists and
Prohi bitionists are on the wanted
list" too, and Secretary Spalding said
there was reason to believe Chicago
would land at least two, and perhaps
all, of the big meetings.
