Recpening 0! the Birmingham Free Mndergarten-News of the So- cial World on the Eve of
 the Gay Season.

The Mecca to which hundreds of Ameri- can travellers have journeyed the past sum mer has been Oberammergau in the Ba- yarian Alps where the Passion Play has been enacted, and while many who made the pilgrimage may have witnessed the play with the proper spirit of reverence, one is inclined to believe that others may have gone as they would to grand opera, and without q proper appreciation of the significance of the Passion Play, inter preted by the Bayarian peasants, to whom its traditions have come down from the valleys in the Bavarian Tyrol were swept by plague But as there ere few persons who can near grand opera unmoyed so am tod that the most indifferent observer of the Passion Play cannot come away from Oberammergau without being touched by ,he wonderful solemnity of a play that has given distinction to a villase fin the Bayarian highlands that at the mo- ment Is being recalled while London and taris are seldom referred to by the trans Atlantic traveller.

portant was the withdrawal of Joseph Mayr from the role of Christus which he filled during the performances of 1870, lsn, 1880 and 1890. He withdrew from the char acter to give place to a younger man, but appeared in the drama as Choragus and recited the prologue which introduced each act. His successor in the role of Christus is Anton Lang, a son of Rochus Lang, who this year played the part of Herod.
 He has been educated in the school at Oberammergau, learned his trade with his father and has followed it in Munich. He is quite tall, with a fine head and a good voice.

A Simple Remedy Which VIII Interest
 Catarrh Sufferers

In its earlier stages catarrh is more of a nuisance than a menace to the general health, but sooner or later, the disease ex- tends to the throat, bronchial tubes and even to the stomach and intestines.
 Catarrh is essentially a disease of the mucous membrane, the local symptoms be- ing a profuse discharge of mucous, stop page of the notrils, irritation in throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gagging and frequent clearings of the throat and head.
 The usual treatment by local douches, snuffs, salyes, etc., often gives tempor- ary relief, but anything like a cure eau only be obtained by a treatment which re- moves the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the inflammation from the mucous surfaces.
 A new remedy which meets these require ments and which so far has been remarka- bly successful in curing catarrh is Stuart s Catarrh Tablets.
 These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hardly be called a secret patent medicine as they are composed of such valuable remedies as Sanguinaria, Hydrastin, Eucalyptol and similar cleansing antiseptics, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges taken internally allowing them to dissolve slowly in the mouth, in this way they reach the throat, fauces and the entire alimentary canal.
 If desired, they may also be dissolved in water and used as a douche. in addition to the internal use. but it is not at all nec- essary to use douche: few of them dis solved in the mouth daily will be suffic- lent However, when there Is much stop page of the nose, a douche made from these tablets will give immediate relief. but the regular daily use internally of these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resorting to the inconven- fence of douche.
 Dr. Bement states ''that the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking the place of the old plan of touching, and local application and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. as no secret is made of their composition and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh are contained in this tablet"
 Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at fifty cents for full sized packages. Ask your druggist and if he Is honest he will tell you there is no safer. more palatable, more efficient and convenient remedy on the market

From that time on. although a number of persons were suffering, not one more died of the plague. In 1884 the play was first performed The decadal period was chosen for 16SO and the Passion Play has been enacted every tenth year, with va rious interruptions since that time. There have been two or three extra representa- tions, one in 1915 for the purpose of cele- brating the "Peace," and in 1S17 at the close of the Franco-German war. permis- sion being granted by the Pope for those special celebrations.

PASSION PLAY AT OBERANNAGAU

 This deeply religious atmosphere" said t4ils Birmingham woman, absorbed me on the little journey from Munich, for it is impossible to pass through the Bavaran highlands at this time without keen ap- preciation of the fact that one is destined to see a spectacle that embodies the Pas sion of our Lord; and by the time that Oberammergau is reached, one feels that oness mind and heart should be attuned to the solemn occasion, for otherwise the Passion drama could not possibly convey any story to the spectator. The journey is picturesque and takes one through seen cry of such peace and simplicity that the peasants who make 1t on loot seem to be figures in a beautiful pastoral. Indeed so simple and primitive is the life of the BaYarian peasant that I was agreeably sur prised at my accommodations upon reach ing Oberammergau. From what I had heard I imagined that the floor of my apartment would be bare of any boards and that l would be extremely uncomforta- ble, since the inns do not afford any lodging apartments, it being the custom for the villagers to entertain tie visitors at ...er farm houses and cottages. l was, however, comfortably located With beau- tiful peasant woman who had formerly taken part in the Passion Play. Indeed it would be difficult to find a native villager who had not at some time been connect ted with the Play, for in their daily life they are brought up with the very associations that make the representation what it is; for the ceremonial life of the Catholic church, together with the wood carving which is the occupation of all the villagers, are influences that affect the people and result in making the peasant-player.
 When l first glmpsed the little village above which the black cross stood out in relief l noticed the picturesque groups of little peasant boys h native dress who crowded the station and whom later on 1 discovered were to carry over our luggage Q tho cottage nearby. They wore chamos brooches that left the legs bare below the knees, while their shirts were white and upon their fiaxen curls were quaint little caps caught at the side with a sprig of lideIWeis.

The Bavar- ian government has established here school of design and carving, and the best players in the Passion drama are always the most expert wood carvers. Their keen appreciation of the beauty of wood carving and care which is bestowed in the delicate orkmanship tends to develop the artistic

 'Our little party went to early mass the morning after our arrival in the village, and after returning for breakfast we pro ceeded to the Passion Theater as the play was to begin at o'clock.

No Law to Punish Kidnapers.

The Cudahy kidnapping case brings to light
a remarkable state OF affairs with regard
to the laws on that subject. 1t appears
that there is no statute in force in Nebras-
ka whereby the kidnapers in this case
could be punished in the slightest degree
for their crime. The only law on the sub
ject prescribes Imprisonment for from three
to seven years whenever the abducted per-
son IS taken from the state or when the kid
naping is committed with that intention.
There was no hint Of such intention In the
Cudahy affair. There is a statute putting
a penalty of from one to seven years i'm
prisonment upon chiid-stealers. but the age
of the child Is specifically limited to ten
years, whereas young Cudahy is fifteen.
There is no phase of the blackmail law
which covers the affair.
In this connection it appears that there is
no law whatever in force In this District
relating to this crime. There Is nothing.
even so feebly applicable as the Nebraska
statutes. to suggest that the Congress has
ever thought to prescribe a penalty for this
ofrense. 1t Is well that the disclosure has
been made in season to permit legislation

before an abduction case has directed re-
medal attention forcibly to the lack. 1t
would be well for the District Commission
ers, Immediately after the reconyening Of
Congress. to call the matter to the notice
of the houses and urge that the District be
given this measure of protection forthwith.
1t has heretofore been suggested that kid
naping might properly be made the subject
Of a congressional enactment applicable to
the entire country. as far as interstate juris-
diction is concerned. In almost every case
of child stealing the purpose Of the thieves
Is to carry their victim oSt of range, and
usually out Of the state. In the Omaha
case the plans were so cleverly laid and ex-
eCuted that this was not necessary. But
there is no assurance that similar enter
prises will not be undertaken in which the
miscreants will find 1t to their advantage to
cross border line and so confuse the po-
lice
Nebraska will probably Immediately pro-
ceed to cure the deficiencies in the state
law, and It may be that the discovery of the
laxity in this respect in that state will cause
an overhauling of the statutes elsewhere,
with a tendency to stiffen the penalties
where laws already exist on this subject
and filling the gaps in the statute books in
other instances The enormity of the crime
demands a thorough campaign to keep the
danger Of Its repetition at minimum.

II would be difficult to Overpralse the
statement of Senator Lodge. which appears
in print today. in explanation of the Sen
ates amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty and of their effect in general on the
question at issue 1t is clear temperate
entirely frank, and, from the American
viewpoint. most convincing That 1t VIII
be received with respect in England Is not
to be doubted. and that 1t may materially
influence opinion there every friend OF the
Nicaragua canal and of the United States
should fervently wish. He speaks with full
knowledge of the subject. Not only IS ne
student of all our larger affairs, but IN
this affair in particular he has had, by
virtue both of his wide information and Of
ficial position, every incentive to go thor
oughy and fearlessly to the root OF Things.
He gives us, therefore, we have every rea-
son for believing, the best points OF MS
investigation and his judgment about a
matter second in Importance to none with
which as a government we are dealing to-
day.
Not the least interesting feature Of this
statement is the tribute which Mr.. Lodge
pays to Secretary Hay. The lampoonng of
the accomplished gentleman who presides
over the State Department by those openly
hostile to him and the attempted damna-
ton of him with faint praise by those less
cOurageo in their mode of attack. have
had the effect In some quarters Of giving
to the Senate's action meaning of person
al opposition to Mr.. Hay. 1t has been IN
sinuated that the Senates real desire was
to drive Mr.. Hay from Office. How ahso-
luteIy grOundless and malicious that inSlnu-
alton was is now plainly disclosed. Mr
Lodge supported all the amendments to the
treaty that were adopted, and yet, though
differing with Mr.. Hay about the treaty, he
testifes In most cordial terms to a hearty
appreciation of Mr.. Hays equipment for
his high office and of the services to the
country he has rendered in 1t. The man Of
letters appreciates the man of letters The
republican senator has no doubt of the re-
publicansm of the Secretary of State, and
both men have given abundant proof of the
fact that they are good Americans. The
American people appreciate that Secretary
Hay has contributed some most important
and most conspicuous triumphs to the his
tory of American diplomacy.
There is expectation that Mr.. Lodge will
in the near future come to preside over the
Senate committee on foreign relations. 1t
is said that Mr.. Frye prefers directing the
affairs OF the committee on commerce, and
that Mr. Culon. who is next in line, may.
II reelected. forego the right of promotion.
Mr.. Lodge is next in line to him. and his
mana cement of the delicate business just
transacted by the Senate under his leader
ship will of itself be assurance to the coun-
try If his promotion occurs that all of it's
interests so far as they may be safegua rded
by one in so influential a station will be in
both capable and courageous hands.
