most efficacious, that is to say, pleasing
to the Almighty, and finally it was re-
solved, then, and every ten years after
wards, to perform with all due rever-
ence and solemnity. a play which
should set forth the life, death, and
mediation of the Redeemer. From
that time, it is asserted the plague was
stayed in the village, and the vow has
been kept strictly and religiously, the
decennial connection being only once
broken since 1854, in order to establish
the performance at the beginning of
of every decade; for which fresh
start was, so to speak, made in the
year 1880. :.
There have been two or three
extra representations between the in
terval of ten years; notably in 1915,
for the purpose of celebrating the
Peace; and then in 1871, in order to
conclude the series of performance
which were interrupted by the Franco
German War. For these special cele-
brations, permission was in each case
asked and obtained of the Pope.
1.-THE Passion Play consists of eigh-
teen acts or scenes, together with a
prologue or introduction. The play
itself begins with Christ's entry into
Jerusalem, but series of tableaux
vivants from the Old Testament history
alternate with the acted, spoken scenes
of which they are emblema tical.
While, in order that the spectators
may understand the meaning of the
living pictures and their connection
with the scenes of the acted tragedy, a
chorus is introduced with duties similar
to those of the chorus of the Greek
plays. Their part is to explain and
make ineligible the action of the
drama, and to engage in kind of run
ming commentary upon it, which is
presented, for the most part, in musi-
cal form in series of very beautiful
vocal pieces.
Karlsbad is undoubtedly the greatest
health resort in the world. 1t is a

A Painful Mistake.

In the San Francisco 'Call" of Sept.
25, under the head OF Death of j..
FORBADE to be Investigated, there ap-
peared a dark insinuation against
undertaken Geo. Huberty of this place.
The Call gave as its authority a letter
which was written. from jackson sin
which it was stated that FORBADE had
had quarrel with George Huberty
and received several severe blows in
the encounter.
There appears to be no ground what
ever for tho above. FORBADE roomed
in Huborty's house for about two
years. They were like brothers in
every respect, and never had dis
pute nor the sem blance of one during
the whole time. During Forcades
sickness Mr.. Hubcrty cared for him as
only one dear friend would care for an
other. The story is false in every
particular, and has either grown out of
a misinterpretation Of the letter written
from here or it is the result OF some
mischief maker. Geo. Huberty refers
to the whole town of Jackson, as to his
reputation, and to all OF Forcade's
friends here relative to the warm
friendship that existed between de-
ceased and himself

Plead Guilty.

In the case of William Lester, of El
Dorado county, which came up before
Justice Goldner Tuesday, the defendant
plead guilty and was remanded to jail
to await sentence by Superior Judge
Rust. The defendant, while hunting
deer, shot a COW belonging to Mrs.
Geo. Allen. He claims, we believe,
that he shot at a deer and hit the COW.
Be that as it may, he plead guilty to
appropriating the carcas and selling or
attempting to sell, some of the meat in
this county, hence his trial here. He
was sentenced to San Quentin for two
years, and Sheriff Gregory escorted him
there Thursday of this week.

canvass of the Second District. The
first meeting was held in Coulterville
Monday evening. From that date
until the night before election he will
be actively at work in the district.
He consulted with the State Central

announcement of meetings has been
made. In the appointments for Mr..
Woods Mono and Inyo counties have
been left out because it is feared he

THE PROSPECTS AT THE GOLDEN WEST NINE
Strike of Gravel Ore In the Larkin.-
New Water Power Machin-
cry for the Cambriana.
CALAvERAs COUNTY.

Prospect: The newly organized
Ozark Mining company, operating on
emile, near Murphys, is pushing
operations with all possible vigor
The new hoist has proved to be a sue
cess, and the work of sinking was COM
pleted without Il hitch. Last Monday
bedrock was reached after passing
through % feet of gravel, every foot of
which showed good prospects in the
pan. Very little water was encounter
ed, the whole amount at present not
exceeding so gallons for "a hours.
The company will at present proceed
10 break out the ground as fast as
possible. Though it cannot be washed
at present, for lack oE water, 1t will be
all ready when the water does come.
The dry weather is favorable for the
present working Of the mine, aud the
location OF the channel seems to be
above the others of that district, where
the great volume of water has made
the work very expensive. The
channel of the Ozark seems TO be dry
one, and oven in the wet season there
is not much water. The gold is ex-
ceedingly coarse aud the promise for a
rich mine is frst-class.
Chronicle: The Lone Star mine is
again at work under the management
of a contractor from Nevada City. A
crew OF men arrived here during the
week from the city and work sinking
the shaft is now going on. The shaft
is to be sunk $50 feet deeper. The big
Company, on the Volcano road, at a
place called Big Flat, about mile and
a half from West Point, which has
been Ia the process of construction for
some time past, is now completed.
This company has started to build an
other reservoir on the north fork of
the Mokelumne river near Nc
Quaide's ranch, about eight miles
above West Point. They are putting
on large crew of laborers and last
Sunday Dave Berry of the Valley
Spring stage line took up load of ten
men who will go to work there.
We understand that the Defender
mine at Camp Contreras has passed by
bond into other hands. under which
management the shaft is to be sunk
900 feet which will make total depth
of about 700 feet.
W. w. WeatherwaX, superintend- =
ent of the Burdena mine at Campo
Seco was in town last Tuesday. He
reports that operations will be COM
menceG at the mine in about ten days.
a new steam hoist will be erected and
a double-compartment shaft will be
sunk to depth of two or three hun
dred feet.

Awful Fire in New York

New YORK, July 2.-It is not yet
possible to learn with any degree
of exactness the number of lives
lost in the great fire which swept
the Hoboken water front Saturday
and destroyed three ocean liners
belonging to the North German
Lloyd Steamship company and
wharf property valued at hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
twenty-five bodies or fragments
of that many bodies have been re-
covered. More than 200 others it
is believed, are in the charred
hulks of the steamers or beneath
the waters of the Hudson.
The estimates of the number of
dead vary. Gustav HI. Schwad,
agent of the company, places the
loss of life Of men in connection
with his company between 1875 and
100. He believes that in addition
to these considerable number of
longshoremen and visitors 10 the
steamers lost their lives. He
would not estimate tho number,
but the police and others place the
number at 100 at least. This esti-
mate of $50 is the most conserva-
tive. Other estimates place the
loss of life at 300 and over.
The search for the bodies of vic
Tins was renewed at daylight this
morning. Divers and grapplers by
the score were put to work on the
wrecks of the Saale, grounded off
Ellis Island, the Main and Bremen
beached near Weehawken n d
around the stumps of the North
German Lloyd piers, Hoboken. Ac-
comparing each searching party is
a grewsome supply of collins. The
list OF injured is also long one.
One hundred and nine persons
have been treate d in the hospitals
Details of the awful scenes occur
ed during the fire are being gradu-
ally told. An officer of the Saale
was seen to blow out his brains
when he found that death from the
flames was inevitable.
He stood at a port hole with
would be rescurers within a few
yards of him.

Ed. OHIO DEMoCRAT:-We see
much futile jargon in the newspapers
of our neighboring towns about Gu
ban itch. am tired of hearing such
levity and think it is time to call a
halt. This kind of rumors hinders
successful working of health officers
and retards the stamping out of the
plague. If those wise-acres, editors,
know more than physicians about
small pox and other contagious
diseases, they should be called upon
to make the diagnosis. Every week
some paper has some article in 1t
about Cuban itch. L would like
them to tell me what is Cuban itch?
Have they ever had it? Have they
ever seen 1t? l have read as much
medicine or medical science as the
majority of physicians and in all the
category of science 1 have never
saw the term of Cuban itch mention
ed. If / were to find itch in Cuba
would expect to see SIMILAR type
as / would find a loathsome filthy
American. We have new cases
of the disease breaking out every
few days and it will assume serious
proportions ere we are done with II
i fear. 1t is q disease that every
body should abhor and nut forth
every effort to destroy. Any disease
that will make horns on mans face
will mar his beauty and will make
pits on his body which Will catch the
sweat and make him stink. Any
gentleman would be ashamed of such
a loathsome disease as that and shun
1t as good Christian would the
devil. Respectfully Yours,

were furnished In an abundance by
this royal entertainer.
Everybody was happy and good
natured. At late hour many of
the guests departed for their homes
while others remained to witness
the old fashioned country serenade
which is always expected to come
where the boys are sure of good
treat and plenty of beer. bout
nine O'clock the bellers were seen
vending their way over the hills
with drums and anything to make
noise. They numbered about
seventy and were as happy crowd
as was ever seen. But they were
happier still after having satisfied
their appetites with big treat.
But all pleasures must have an
end and so bidding adieu 10 the
happy couple they departed for
their various homes Wishing such
occasions would happen oftener.
