A BIaspn emous Novel by . woman.

Frau Wilhelmina Won Hillern, the daugh-
ter of Heine's pet antpathy, Char
lotte Birch-Pfeiffer. was an actress once,
then turned novelist and for years has
lived in the Ammergau district. Her
stories have been read widely in Germany
and some. notably Die Geier Wally.'
have been translated into English. They
are sentimental stories OF the German
kind, the scene being usually the Bavarian
highlands. She is a pretty old lady now,
but her latest production, -On the Cross
CA. DreXel Biddle\. in which Mary j. SAT-
ford shares a place on tho title page, we
presume as translator or aiapter, shows
no lack of spirit and a daring which Is
apparent in none of her previous works.
The passion play at Oberammergau,w which
was once a simple. village performance,
treated with religious respect 10y actors
and spectators alike, has been turned into
spectacular show for fashionable people
from all parts Of the world. II is the proper
thing to go to Oberammcrgau in the year
Of the passion play as it is, or was. to 60 to
Bayreuth. The villagers, who take part
in the show, are talked about in the news
papers like actors and singers. and their
pictures, in costume and in ordinary dress,
are to be seen everywhere.
1t was doubtless Frau Won Hillern'e
right to weave story about the passion
play If she chose; the play has been dragged
into fiction before. But to make that
story one Of earthly love and passion be-
tween an aristocrat, whom she deliberately
christens Mary Magdalen, and the peasant
who takes the part of Christus, should,
We imagine, prove repulsive to most people.
The blasphemy is strengthened by the
endeavor to identify the peasant actor
with the character he represents. even TO
the point of making him die on the cross
We do not doubt the authors sincerity
in thinking fha: she writes from religious
motives, but If such ideas are inspired in
educated women by the performances
at Oberammergau they had better keep
awav
There Is lesser offence In taste that
Is bad enough in its way. Many OF the
characters in the story are actors in the
play and are made to behave according
to the authors fancy. The names Of their
parts, however, stick to the peasants for
ten years, sometimes for life, and the y
are sure to take the authors remarks as
personal to themselves. They have treated
her kindly for years and, IL they read the
book. will make Oberammergau unpleas-
ant for Frau Won Hiern. The book should
never have been written.

pretty love story showing great delcacy
of feeling is told by the Baroness Bettina

woman in the story is married woman and
the man old enough to hold himself well in
hand. and both are afflicted with that dread
full New England conscience; but they drift
gracefully from epistolary Irritation into
reasonably warm love affair. II Is only o!

conscience stands in the way, and she goes
back to the husband she likes pretty well

ON THE OTHER SIDE
SOLDIERS SAY FILIPINOS WERE
WELL TREATED.
Witnesses From the Philippines who
Declare That Cruelty Cases Were
Exceptional Ones.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Frank II &.
Evans of Des Mones Ia, formerly a
sergeant of Company f, Thirty-second
volunteer infantry, today testified be-
fore the senate committee on the Phi
lippines concerning the administration
of the water cure to Filipinos on four
different occasions during his service in
the islands. He also related the parti-
culars of the burning of several native
villages. He was questioned by SEN
atOrs Patterson, Beveridge and Nc
COmas.
Mr.. Evans said he had been present
at the burning of four or five native
villages, and that the destruction of
these places had been due to the pre-
sense Of insurgents. The orders were to
destroy all the native huts along the
coast near the mountains for ten miles
in Batan province, so as to force the
natives to come in, and this he said
was done.
Replying to questions by Senator
Beveridge, the witness said the orders
to the troops We're to treat the natives
humanely, and that, with the excep-
tons noted, their treatment had been
in accord with these instructions The
natives had not, on the other hand
shown any appreciation of this consi-
deration. They refused to divulge in
formation in their possession, and in
many cases they subjected the Ameri-
can troops to indignities. In one case
he said, where two soldiers were killed
their ears We're cut off.
Edward Norton, of Los Angeles, a
late private in Company l., Eighteenth
United States infantry, was the wit
ness at the afternoon session.
Answering questions by Senator Cui-
berson, Mr.. Norton stated that Except
in isolated cases the treatment accord
ed the natives by United States sol
diers was humane and all that could
be expected or desired"
In the isolated cases referred to, ne
said, the treatment was not consistent
with humanity and the laws of war.
He then related from hearsay the story
of the administration of the water cure
to the vice president of San Miguel and
native policeman, and decribed one
occasion where he had assisted in wa
ter curing native. The mans mouth
he said, was forced open with a stick
and the water poured down his throat.
The effect of the treatment was tenn
porarily strangulatiOn. In this particu-
lar case, he said, the native, after re-
ceiving the cure, delivered up a number
of rifles and pistols. II was the prac-
uCe III naIhlnB through villages the
witness related, that when fired upon
by natives TO Immediately burn their
houses"
He said the Filipinos regarded the
kindness of the troops towards them as
weakness and become bold i'm con-
sequence; also that the general under
standing in the army was that the po-
Icy of General Hughes was one of hui
manity and kindness, He took issue
