Good News for Pullman.

For the first time the people will
have an opportunity of witnessing
a reproduction of the famous Pas
sion Play, a touching drama on the
life of Christ and all characters i'm
plicated. Read what the Great
Falls Tribune has to say.
"A very large audience was at
the Grand Opera House last even
ing to witness the klnetoscope re-
production Of the Passion Play as
produced by the peasants of Ober-
ammergau once every ten years
The Passion Play is reproduced by
means of 254 feet of life motion
picture film, and is under the di-
rection of DR.. w. H. Pitwood, who
has the only genuine films ever
used in the west. Not for many
months has such an audience been
in the theatre. The pictures were
shown with remarkable clearness
and fidelity and the applause was
most hearty as the many scenes
appeared. Georgia Carey Pittwood
recited the story that each scene
represented and she frequently sang
solo which was illustrated with
a life motion picture film, which is
the latest and most wonderful me-
chanical triumph She was in fine
voice and her rendition of The
Holy City" was especially good, ell
ficiting very enthusiastic encores.
The song has not been sung better
if the city and it was alone worth
Sthe price of admission.

BROWN GRIT, JR.
FORTUNE IN MANILA.

We are not surprised to learn that
Commissioner T. Thomas Fortune got
into trouble with the local authorities
of Manila promptly after his arrival
there. He was treated with the con-
sideration due his position and him
self everywhere else in the Philippine
Islands where his commission required
his presence, but in Manila he ran up
against the scum of the Army, which
remained there after the expiration
Of their terms of enlistment. Their
people over, here drew a breath of re-
lief when they enlisted originally for
service so far away from home, and
when discharged, knowing they had
no place and no reputation on this
side of the Pacific, they decided to stay
where they were. They are mostly of
that well-known class-the idle vicious
southerners, the material from which
lynching parties are recruited, which
is a curse to any country. They fairly
swarm in Manila, and of course soon
get civil office. They affiict the brown
skinned Philippine as they and their
class afflict the Southern Negro, and
with the same implacable prejudice.
They will find, however, that they
have awakened the wrong customer.
Mr.. Fortune is an exceedingly warm
proposition under any circumstances,
and we are looking confidently to see
some of Manila's official heads to fail
into the basket of decapitation before
the Commissioner consents to let up.
We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation to attend the closing exer-
cises of Morris Brown College, at At
Ianta, Ga, which will take place May
27tb TO June 3, 1908. The program
Dronjcac a most interesting series OF

loose. We are accustomed to say that
'pandemonium" did the breaking loose
business, but the term is too tame-at

to the mark. The partisans of Com

of everything circumambient air,

their feet, and shouted and yelled ga

to produce the great efficiency attained

TO be doubted whether in the whole

equal as drill master.
But the spectators were not the

of the exercises the cadets returned in
military order to their respective
schools and were dismissed.
