Imagine Indians raw. uncouth Amer
lean Indians, performing the Passion
Play. Picture to your mind. if you
can, the solemn scenes of Christs pas
sion presented in pantomime by ordi-
nary redskins, and that. too. for the
purpose of impressing the truths of
Christianity more deeply upon their
fellows.
Yet this idea was actually conceived
by missionary to the Siwash tribe in
British Columbia few years ago and
what is more was actually carried out
with great effect Father Chirouse was
the man who did it. and the play made
such a success in 1889, that prepara-
tons are under way to repeat 1t
When the priest. who is French
Canadian and a Roman Catholic. took
up his work among the Siwash tribes
he found them soreiy in need of light.
He labored early and late in the little
chapels or the dingy. weatherstained
tents which served for chapels. and
after time he found that his efforts
were not bearing fruit of much promise.

You are none too soon,
o Golden Moon,
To tell us that tale you know,
How years agone,

In manger mean and low.
Were you young or old,
Silver or gold.
Or a crescent vapor pearled?
When Christ appeared.
Or had you steered
To the other side of the world?
o diamond STAR
In realms afar.
Did you shine on that blessed face?
And within it see.
Gods divinity.
From the light of your great high place?
Ye hills embossed
With white boar frost,
Did you hear those angels sing?
While circlng round
All halo-crowned.
GLORY to God our King?"

In that early dawn,
A something no tongue may tell?
Or if you had speech.
You mute things each.
Could you pirate of what there befell?

Washington, =. c., May 90 Spe-
cltl. The national custom of observing
May 80 as a memorial day for those who
fell i'll the great struggle of the 'GOs is
thirty years old today. 1t was in 1869 that
Gen. John A. Logan, then commander
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re
public. announced May 30 as the day on
which the graves of soldiers should be
decorated with flowers and flags. Be
fore then flowers were placed on the
graves of both North and South at diff
ferent dates during the early spring,
but Il general observance of any specific
day for honoring the memory of the
dead was not known until the famous
Illinois soldier issued his order numinS Z
May 80.
Today, for the first time in the long
period since the close of the Civil war
the graves of American soldiers and sail
orS who fell iii another war are to be
decorated. One year ago today the war
with Spain was at it's height. The bat
tie Of Manila had been fought and won,
bat there had been no American loss of
life in actual hostlities excepting the
heroic deaths Of Ensign Bagley and his
four comrades on the torpedo-buat Wins

cate n natural revival of interest in the
observance of Memorial day as d result
of the recent war. In all of the large
cities, East and West. the day is being
observed with parades and memorial ex

in compliance with an order of the war
department, the national flag is displayed

MUST WHIP FILIPINOS.
Evident that Diplomacy ia Useless in
Dealing with Them.

New York, May 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The situation in the Philippine islands
as described i'll recent dispatches is such
as to make a list necessary to raise y
part of the provisional army authorized
10y the last Congress, if the United States
wants to secure control Of the arcbi-
pelagO. The administration has been
brought to realize that diplomacy in deal
ing with the insurgents is not necessary,
but plain war. Diplomacy and the peace
commission must take back seats until
the island has been completely whipped
and forced to surrender.
Gen. OTIS has not a sufficient number
of men to accomplish this end and hc
has 50 informed the war department. but
the officials will not admit it. They do
admit, however. that the outlook for an
early peac" is poor and more soldiers are
badly needed in the Philippines.
Just how to meet this situation is II
question which confrontS them and re
quires prompt decision.
1t is expected that the President will
discuss all phases of the situation with
the cabinet Tuesday and reach an early
decision.
