MIR. HARRIS TO LECTURE

The great passion play which ia CIV
en- at Oberam mergua by the Bsvalian
peasants every ten years, will be des-
eribed ans. illustrated in the lecture by
Rev. Carlton ID. Harris, on Thursday
evening, March ., at 80 o'clock, IN
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church,
This lecture will include the pathetic
story of the mad king of Bavaria, his
attitude toward the passion play and
his tragic suicide in the lakeof the CASTE
grounds. The Murray bureau, OF
Washington, has been engaged to
reproduce upon canvass, by means of
powerful stereopticon the principal
characters of the play in their highly
colored, oriental costumes and the
tableaux scenes, famous ali over the
world for their artistic setting and
wonderful beauty.
Those who have heard Mr.. Harris
lecture can, to some extent anticipate
the coming treat. We have heard his
lecture Oh the Country Parson in rhe
Old World aud we must say that we
never heard lecture from which we
got more, both in information and
entertainment.
