the market was overstocked.
Veal calves sold Thursday at 81 cents for
fancy fat as compared with 81 cents

Yesterday, however. on account Of the re-
ports Of good rains at several points In the
South and West. and prospects for rain in
this vicinity. the receipts of calves were
lighter and prices advanced cent q pound.
For the same reason prices Of fruits and
vegetables were lower. Potatoes showed
decline of IL cents a bushel Peaches were
10 cents to Is cents lower. and other ve8e-
tables and fruits in proportion.
The following table OF comparative prices
shows the effect Of the continued dry

it viii doubtless prove a matter OF
general regret
Il was a representative audience
which filed the auditorium almost TO
the point Of overfowing. Many were
obliged to stand during the entire
course OF the lecture and still felt
well repaid for the effort
Arrayed in loose fitting costume q
white, surmoupted by mantle OF blue,
the pretty combination being cleyerly
set of by a golden girdle, Miss Mur-
cult relate0 her first impressions Of
the little village perched some three
thousand feet in the mountainous
country and which has in the past cen
fury become famed far and wide for
the great theater where the perfor-
nance is given depicting the last days
OF the Savior of Mankind on earth.
The speaker referred to the trials
and fluctuations attending the engage
ment Of accommodations by the multi
tudes of visitors. Many were content
to occupy a chair under almost any
kind OF shelter and the daily strife FOR
a place TO eat and sleep would tend
TO remind one OF the rush in a mining
town during its swaddling clothes
stage of development.
Besides being the center OF the fam
Gus Passion Play, Oberammergau is
also noted for the superb quality OF
the wood carvings executed by the ma
tiyes of the place. This art has been
handed down for generations past
and the results of their patient toll
bring high prices in the European
markets. 1t is known to be fact that
some of the caTvers have spent their
entire lives upon one piece of work.
The rendition of the Passion Play
every decade is one of the bright spots
in the anticipation as we'll as the
memory of the inhabitants of the little
village.
The characters in the play are Sc
lected with great care. a high stand
ard of morality is essential for the
favored individuals who assume the
title roles. The participants do not

performance, but on the other hand
are willing to devote four to five
months of their time for the rendition
let alone the many additional months
for careful preparation. Miss Murcutts
description of the theater was very in
teresting. This structure has been en-
larged at each succeeding perform
ance, until at the time the play was
given last summer. the seating capa-
city was about adequate to the de-
mands upon it by the continental tour

was warmly applauded at the close
of her entertaining address.
