grand scenic effects nor talented acting,
as at Oberammergau; but the sacred
scenes are produced simply and faith
fully, with great effect.
Though the Swiss flock thither from
all parts Of the country, very few Eng
lish or American visitors are to be seen
rhere, for the play is not advertised,
nor is it run on commercial lines. The
play is worth witnessing on account of
It's simplicity and it's directness of ap-
peal.
The performance is divided into two
parts, with an interval of two hours be-
tween the two representations. The
first lortion, which consists of twenty
scenes, takes place In the morning and
treats of the life of Jesus up to the
entry in Jerusalem. In the afternoon
the actual representation of the pas
sion is given with precision and ex-
actitude-all German. The singing and
music are much above the average, and
the performers are all chosen for their
fine physique.
The passion play is encouraged by
the church authorities, and the profits
which are small, as the charges are
very moderate-go to charities.

union musicians informed the Chicago
Federation of Labor that they would
withdraw from the line of march rather
than play with men who wore uniforms
other than those adopted by the Chi
cngo Federation of Musicians.
The decisions of the musicians
threatens to result not only in a lack
Of music but also in the withdrawal
of a number of trade organizations
from the parade. The Labor Day
committee has decided that only those
musicians who wear the regulation uni
form or appear in citizens clothes will
be permitted to play but the teamsters
and freight handlers have issued a
defiance to this ultimatum and have
engaged bands whose members wear
non-union uniforms.
A number of the teamsters and
freight handlers locals further de-
clare that If the bands they have en-
gagged are refused place in the parade
they will not march.
This will draw $1,000 men from the
parade.

Count Okuma says:
american and European countries
have up to now provided our require
ments in corn, flour and malt, but it
is obvious that Manchuria, by reason
of it's geographical position, is a far
more suitable sphere for this supply.
1t also offers the most promising field
for the production of sugar from beet
root. The Japanese consumption of
sugar in few years will reach half a
million tons.

Okuma says, "the principle of the open

thought of, and Manchuria must be re-
stored to China when we have pulled

Nv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-There has
been a strange sequel to the mysterious
kidnapping nine years ago of pretty
Rosie Cohen, an East side girl. The
girls mother lives in orchard street,
and was surprised yesterday by the
visit of an unidentified man who called
the mother to the door and, after tell
ing her he knew the present where
abouts of the daughter, thrust recent
photograph of the girl into her hands
and, with the remark, "She has
changed her name; it is no use for you
to try to find her." disappeared.
In the winter Of 1890 the girl, near 5
years old, was playing on the street in
front of her home, when man was
seen to creep up, place his hand over
the childs mouth, catch her up in his
arms and flee The police wocked OH
the case for a long time without sue
cess. The mother was heartbroken and
gave up hope of ever knowing her
child's fate.
When the man visited Mrs. Cohen
yesterday she pleaded with him for
knowledge of the girls whereabouts,
but he refused.
"She would not be happy here" he
said. "She is doing all right and has
forgotten you. She has changed her
name. Now, just forget her and don't
try to find her. 1t won't do you any
good"
The police were at once notified and
are inclined to believe that the man,
having found the mother, intends de-
manding a ransom.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The au-

rine hospital service are not appre-
hensive over the outbreak of cholera in
Prussia. They say that in the past the
German authorities have generally been
able to control such epidemics and ex-
press confidence that they will be able
to do so in the present instance.
Surgeon General Wyman has already
taken measures to prevent the spread
Of cholera from Germany to the United
States by ordering Passed Assistant
Surgeon Mclaughlin, now stationed at
Naples, to proceed Immediately to
Hamburg and make a thorough inves-
tigation and to report in detail. He also
has been directed to be prepared to
enforce the treaty regulations relative
to ships leaving for American ports.
These regulations authorize the deten-
ton of suspected passengers and the
fumigation of baggage when thought
advisable. DR.. Mclaughlin, however,
will not resort to these measures until
satisfied as to the wisdom of applying
them. Surgeon Irwin at Philadelphia
will soon join DIR. Mclaughlin. Doc
tors Mclaughlin and Irwin both have
had experience in dealing with cholera.
