PASSION PLAY AT THE BIJOU.
For the Benefit of New Richmond Cyclone
Sufferers.

Thursday evening, June 2o, Rev. ]. NJ.
Cleary of St. Charles Church will deliver
his famous illustrated lecture on "the
Passion Play of Oberammergau" for
the benefit of the cyclone sufferers OF
New Richmond, at the Bijou theatre
in this city. The manager of the Bijou
Mr.. Theo. Hays, has generously offered
the use of the house for the good cause,
and Mr.. Duzee, who operates the slides
for illustrating the play, has rendered
his services gratuitous1y. Rev. Fir. Deg
nan, the now famous priest of New
Richmond, who worked so heroica1ly in
the ruins of the Inflated city, will be
present on the occasion. The proceeds
of the lecture, however, are for the gel-
eral relief fund, and not for the special
benefit of any religious denomination.
The receipts will be added to the Min
neapolis contribution and forwarded 20
the general relief committee for the be-
neft of all the suffering inhabitants.
1t is hardly necessary to urge the read
ers of The Irish Standard to do every
thing possible for the success of this
philanthropic undertaking by Fir. Clearly.
The grand description of the play he
witnessed in the Bavarian village ten
years ago and the magnificent stereoptic
an views cast upon the canvas will prove
most interesting to the great audience
that is sure to pack the house. Every
one should turn out on Thursday evening
and help along the cause OF the distress
ed. Further particulars will appear in
the daily papers during the week.

flowing.

rection of Prof. Charles A. Mccain.

with all the fire OF the cnvious old Ro-
man conspirator, while Mr.. Crowley, as
Brutus, read his lines with a dignity be-
fitting the "noblest Roman OF them ALL :"
The production as a whole elected most
appreciative comment. Music was fur
nished by the St. Thomas Mandolin

NeV. }. }. hedne OF the Cnurch OF
the Immaculate Conception expresses
deep regret at the disrespect shown by
American soldiers in the Philippines to
the churches and to the vestments and
other outward symbols used in religious
worship in that country. Fir. Keane's
remarks were occasioned by the publica-
ton OF the fact that one of the members
of the Thirteenth Minnesota had sent
bishops robe found in church after
the battle of Calumpit, to a friend III
Minneapolis. He deplores the pillaging
and dissertation of the churches in the
Philippines. The natives of that country
have been under Catholic tuition for
$50 years and have known no other reli-
gion than that of the Roman Catholic
church. Naturally" said Fir. Keane
to a Times reporter, 'they regard the
United States as Protestant country
and the American army as an army of
Protestants. Consider what their feel
ings must be, then, when the victorious
Americans rush into their churches, de-
spoil them and send the sacred things
of the church service back home to be
exhibited as spoils of war. The desc
Grafton of a Protestant church in this
country, no matter by whom, would
arouse intense and universal indigna-
ton; but the dissertation OF simple, ma
tive, oriental population would strike
home there as almost no other act
could"

top of the stamp will be printed the
word Cuba" while at the bottom will
be the word "centavo,' with the figure
Il" in each of the lower corners. The
stamp of the two centavo dpnomna-
ton is a pretty design, portraying a
scene from a sugar plantation in the
center with Cuba" across the top and
SO centavos' at the bottom.
In the plaza of Havana there has
stood for years an categorical figure of
Cuba--a typical senorlta seated upon
throne This has been selected for the
central design of the centavo stamp.
On either side of the enthroned senorita
will be the figure 49," with the word
"centavo" running across the bottom.
The merchant marine Is remembered
in the 8 centavo stamp, Which has a
center composed of a steamer at full
speed. Royal palms. typical represen-
tatives of the tropical vegetation, grace
the sides, together with other foliage.
Across the top is the word Cuba and
on the lower side IS centavos.'
The 10 centaVO stamp is dedicated to
the agricultural class. The design con-
sists of primitive pillow, with long up
right stock drawn by two oxen, phe
yoke being hung about the horns in
stead of the neck. Cuba" appears at
the top, with 10 on either side and
"centayos" at the bottom.
An interesting fact to be Noted in
connection with this new issue of post
age stamps for Cuba is that it is the
first time in the history of the post
office department at Washington that
call has been made to furnish stamps
for any other country besides the I'm
tied States.
The plates for the new stamps will be
prepared and the stamps printed at the
bureau of engraving and printing,
Washington, and their cost charged to
the Cuban revenues. They will be used
on the island until Cuba, is declared
free when the Cuban government will
be at liberty to continue their use as it
sees fit. Until the new stamps are is
sued those in Use since Jan. / will con-
tinue TO be sold. These are the regular
United States stamps, marked Cuba"
across the top and the denominations in
CentaVu de peso across the bottom.
There is an erroneous idea abroad that
the regular United States stamps have
been used in Cuba since the evacuation
of Jan. l. As matter of fact the pos
tai service in Cuba is as distinctly it's
