So it came about that this faithful
friend Of generous woman was left
homeless and penniless in Paris. With
the death Of Nile. Rhea she lost her
means Of living. In this condition
some old friends of Mile. Rhea found
her. They rented fiat for her il
Paris and furnished it 50 that she may
rent rooms TO visitors TO the exposi-
ton. Already some members of the
profession, who knew Mile. Rhea and
Marie in the days of the formers tri-
umph, have taken rooms for part of
the season, and it is likely that Marie's
fiat will become a favorite stopping
place for players and will provide its
mistress with a means of livelihood
until the end of her days.
Oberammergau is run on most DEM
ocratic principles. The ouschclders
elect the burgermeister and the coun-
ell. These, together with the parish
priest and six men elected by the peo-
pie, form the Passions Cor-ite which
arranges all details connected with
the play and selects the players. The
nominations took place on December
y last. There is a good deal of rival
ry between the different candidates.
but the selection is final In 1890 it
was expected that Peter Re1dl, the
John of that year, would have been
Christus in 1900; but Christus must
have a f1owirg beard, AMI Mr.. Pendrs

portant part which is taken by the
same actor who performed it in 1880
josef Meyer, tn Christus of 1870, 1871,
1880, and 1890 is too old to take the
part again, his griZzled beard making
it quite impossible. In order that he
may have a prominent position still,
the part of choragus has been div ded.
Gakol Ruiz, the village smith who
acted choragus in 1890, still has the
title, but does not recite the prologue.
Meyer coming on the stage in his
place. Joseph of Armathea was the
part Meyer wished to act, but the
cOmite did not consider it important
enough; besides, they did not desire to
have the veteran actor of Christus on
the stage at the same time as the nov
ice Anton Lang, who takes the prin-
cipal part this year. He is a potter,
and works with his father, who acts
Herod, in their large white house near
the theater. Opinions differ as to his
performance. He is only twenty-five.
The burgermeister, who in 1890 acted
Kaiphas, has also aged too muct to act
the same part, which is taken by Sc
bastian Lang, the heir of Daisenberger,
who wrote the present text of the play.
Mr.. Lang is publishing the official text
for the first time The dresses worn
are the same, and the tableaux and
scenes are exactly similar every year.

TURNING THE LAUGH.

On a recent evening a weII-known
bishop was dining with a near relq
tIve's family. A young Spaniard, who
was on visit to the family, and in
cidentally learning English, sat next
to the bishop, and listened attentively
to all the conversation.
The host was accounting severa I'M
pleasant experiences he had had with
a certain man in high position of
whom he had been obliged to ask a
favor, and whose conduct had been ex-
asperatingly offensive.
Well, never mind" said the bishop,
sympathizingly; you know he has the
reputation of being a sorry cad."
Then, turning to the young Spaniard,
who looked puzzled, he said: ooh,
very likely you do not understand
what the word cad means
NO said the young man, solemn
ly: Il don't know any English swear
words yet"
Of course, there was a great laugh
at the bishops expense, his host laugh
ing loudest and longest. But the
bishop was equal to the occasion. With
a merry twinkle in his eye, and a SLY
look at the hostess, he said
"Ah, but you will, my young friend
you will, if you stay long enough with
this family! '-Spare Moments.

DOGS DIDN'T THINK

This is what we are told. But, like
many things told rs, it may not be
true. Sitting at our desk Monday
afternoon We observed a black dog
with very long, pendant ears and Ions
silky hair start to come across the
street, a couple of rods east of our Of
fee. When he had reached a point
about one-third the distance across he
found the mud becoming too soft and
deep for comfortable navigation He
stopped, looked ahead a moment at
the sea of mud before him, then turned
and went back to the sidewalk. He
then trotted west till he reached the
paved street, directly opposite our Of
fee, then came across dry shod and
clean, and trotted back east TO his
home. What different would a man
have done? But we would ascribe the
mans action to reason. Why not give
the dog the same credit? Fact is we
have met lots of men whose thinkers
were not half as good as a dogs

Chicago, June S.-The western inter
collegiate athletic championship was
won by the University of Michigan
track and field team, at Ravenswood
field yesterday, after the most closely
contested meet in the history of the
association. There was only half a
point difference between the total
scores of Michigan and Chicago, when
the last event had been decided, and
California was but u point behind
Chicago. 1t took the last event, the
120-yard hurdles, in which athletes of
those three institutions fought for su-
premacy, to decide the championship.
The points scored were: Michigan, 81;
Chicago, 301a; California 90; Wiscon-
sin, 81; Notre Dame, II; Northwest
ern, 6; Knox Az; Minnesota, 3; Ne
braska. 2.
Teams from nineteen western col
leges and universities competed in
sixteen events, and though cinder
paths were anything but fast and a
cold north wind prevailed, four west
ern intercollegiate records were bro
ken. Plaw of California easily estab-
lished new western records for the
hammer throw and shot put; Dvorak
if Michigan established a new record
in the pole vault; and Bredsteen
clipped five seconds off the mile walk

THE BLUE AND GRAY.
Another Link to Bind Together North
and South.

Hagerstown, Md, May 31.-Another
link in the chain which binds together
the once warning factions of the north
and south was forged yesterday by the
dedication of monument erected to
the memory of the men who wore the
gray as well as these who wore cue
blue, and who died in mortal combat
on the bloody field of Antietam. The
event, which is probably without par
allel in the history of the world. was
graced by the presence of the president
of the United States, accompanied by
many members of mis- cabinet, score
or more of United States senator's,
thrice as many members of congress,
the governor Of Maryland and prom
inent men from all parts Of
the country was there; also
were present hundreds of veterans
who fought for the lost cause" and
thousands who fought for the side that
proved victorious Side by side
shoulder to shoulder, they stood with
uncovered heads throughout the cere-
mony which marked the conveyance
Of the monument from the state of
Maryland to the national government.
Gen. Douglass introduced President
Mckinley, who delivered the address
of the day.
The president, upon being intro
duced, said that he was not aware he
was expected to make a speech on the
occasion, and therefore had prepared
no set grafton. as he should otherwise
have done. He spoke briefly of the
spirit of patriotism which had inspired
the erection of the monument to the
soldiers Of both sides of the late con-
fiict. "The union of the north and
SOUTH" he said, could work nothing
but good for the entire country"

plies when an infdel stTays onto holy

Jerusalem is the place where your
faith is needed every hour and plenty
of it. You are shown duplicates IF
places and things, each of which IS
vouched for by holy authority. For
years the only blown in the bottle"
pool Of Bethesda was worshiped. 1t is
now being filed up and another
authentic one is doing business across
the street. A small hole in the wall is
pointed out and you are told that the
prophet Mohammed's minister's are
within where the wind can't blow
through them. Those old-timers must
have been tough, for they even made
holes n marble when it touched them.
There doesn't seem TO be any end to
the silly and improbable fakes brazenly

SolomOn'S temple stood. Wise old

wives and as many more understudys:

fifty wives to save his life. How have

kick the head off from some of the

trary to the Moslem religion to have
any living thing represented in their
mosques, so there wasn't anything 10

horrid Turkish soldiers, with great big
guns and long swords, had a soothing
effect on me. There ought to be an
international agreement in regard to
the ornamentation of churches. When
tho MoSlems confiscate a christian
church it's lots Of hard work to cut all
the heads and tails off the living things
represented, many Of them being made
from solid marble; and climbing way
up in the dome to paint over an angel.

monthly estimate above is really
rather skinny, and Americans will dc

exhibition time in Paris l would sug-
gest, in ordinary middIe-class hotels,
when one has pension rates, an aver

francs a day, divided as already indi-
Gated. In the smarter hotels, however,
this averaging process will be imprac-
ticable, and the guest will be lucky if
ne gets fair service at table for less
than 10 cents a meal, paid on the
spot. In restaurants the Paris rule
has always been for an expensive meal
per cent. for a moderate priced
meal 10 per cent. of the bill. I will
add, however, that long experience,
covering pleasant and unpleasant hap
penings, has confirmed me IN this as a
thing practical, one would best err on
the side Of generosity. 1t is bread

many times by the most competent
men in our business. Why is it that
we all admire European walters, so
clean and tidy in their white waist
coats and white ties? l have heard
our women say a thousand times to
their husbands on leaving the hotel:
Give an extra tip to such and such a
one. He is such a nice, clean, obliging
boy. But if he were greasy and neg
lectful would she think of him? Look
at our giddy little chambermaids, who
contribute SO much to our success.
Are they not amiable? Would you not
like to take them home with you?
How nice she looks in her smart cors-
age and apron. Suppress her tips and
double her salary, treble it. Then
come back in year and see the differ
ence. She will be a different person

it will be the same down, to the boots.

WARSHIPS LAND MEN.
Foreign Fleets Take a Hand Against
Chinese Boxers

Pekin, May 31.-The situation here
is somewhat better, the Chinese troops
having occupied all disturbed local.
ties. Heavy fighting has taken place
between the imperial troops and box
ers. The gravest anxiety is now felt
as to the probable behavior of the
Chinese troops, most of whom sympa-
thize with the patriotic movement to
drive out the foreigners. Chinese au-
thorities attempted to throw obstacles
in the way of bringing foreign guards
to Pekin. The ministers maintained a
firm attitude and said if proper facili-
ties were not granted fifteen foreign
waTships at Taku would land a suf-
ficient force to come to Pekin without
the consent of the Chinese government.
They demanded a definite answer to-
day. This is expected to produce the
desired effect. Five Russian warships,
two Russian gunboats, one French
warship, two British Warships and one
Italian warship have arrived at Tien
Tsin. They are all landing men.
