THE PASSION PLAY.
It's Origin, According to the Tradi.
ton Of Obe ra mmergau.

ton of mergau.
According to local tradition. the orr
gin of the Oberammergau Passion
play was as follows: When in the year
1853 deadly plague threatened to de.
populate the districts Of Partenkirchen,
Escheloke and Kohlgrub, which are
separated from Ammerthal, or the val
ley of the Ammer. by rampant of
mountains. the Ammerthalers succeed
ed for a time in protecting themselves
day a native who had been working all
summer at Escheloke evaded the quar-
antine and entered the Ammerthal by
a secret path in order to celebrate an
annual church festival with his fam
lily. Two days afterward he was a
corpse. and In less than three weeks
the plague had carried of eighty -four
OF the Ammerthalers.
Despairing of all human succor. the
terrified survivors addressed them
selves to God and registered solemn
VOW that If he heard their prayer and
removed the scourge they would rep
resent. every ten years. ''for thankful
remembrance and edifying contempla-
ton. and by the help of the Almighty,
the sufferings Of Jesus. the Saviour of
the world"
Not single person died of the
plague after the vow was made, though
many were affected by it. The first
representation Of the Passion play In
villagers took place at Oberammergau
In the following year, and 1t has been
repeated every ten years without a

Many Tons Of Valuable Diamonds.

Like all precious metals and stones,
the unit of weight usually employed in
regard to diamonds is the carat, of
which 1917 go to make up single
ounce. To think of sacks of diamonds
by the ton staggers the imagination;
indeed, the average annual output of
the Kimberly mines is not more than
half ton all told
Statistics have been published re-
Gently at Cape Town giving the output
for several years past of the Kimberly
mines and the river diggings. These
yielded in the three years 1903 to 1905
nearly 1880 900 carats, say a ton and
a half. The monetary value of these
diamonds was 914 ,450,000 Since the
fl st diamond was discovered by the
banks of the Vaal in 1867 down to the
end of 1906 it is estimated that the to-
tai weight of diamonds extracted from
the Griqualand mines is over thirteen
and a half tons, of a market value of
fully e95,O00,000
If statistics of this sort can be
trusted-and in the case of the South
African yield they closely approximate
to the facts-only seventeen tons of
diamonds had been mined all over the
world to the end of 1901. With the
same relative output since that year
from Brazil and India the worlds out
put of diamonds is now more than
twenty tons.
The figure seems small, considering
the ages diamonds have been worked
in India and elsewhere in the East.
and must be largely guesswork with
respect to the output in antiquity. It
is. however, certain that more dia-
monds have been placed on the mar
ket in the last forty than in the pre-
vious thousand years-(PalI Mall Ga
zette.)

TEXANS WILL FIGHT.
To Test the Antipass Lawsuit VIII
Be Brought at once.

Be Brought at OnSc.
Texas newspaper men have planned
to test the antipass law OF the state
as applied to newspaper contracts with
railroads. The Texas Press assocla-
ton has issued an appeal TO the peo-
pie. and the plan to be pursued has
been outlined. Members will be called
upon for contributions to defray the
expense of legal proceedings
The address to the people is in the
following form:
Whereas. it has been charged that
the efforts of the press of the state OF
Texas to relieve itself OF the burdens
placed on it by the antipass law are
directed toward the destruction of the
whole of such law; and, whehreas, this
alleged fact is commented uopn as,evi-
dence of the insincerity of the press in
demanding the making of such a law;
therefore be it resolved, that the peo-
pie of Texas be advised of the true po-
sition of the press on this question,
which is as follows:
1.-THE press of the state stands now
as it has stood for law which Will
prevent the issuance of free passes to
officials. because such courtesies ex-
tended by corporations to lawmakers,
law defners and law enforcers are cal
culated to blandish and balk officials
to the destruction of pure and i'm
Mi Of
But in the enactment of the law the
Legislature saw fit to restrict and pro-
hibit the owner OF a newspaper from
exchanging the space in his paper for
transportation over the railways of the
state and by so doing deliberately set
aside the right of citizen to enter
into contracts which are not detrimen-
tai to the public good or immoral or
depraving in their character
Under these circumstances the news
paper owners and members of the
state association feel impelled to fight
in the courts the inhibition and limita
distinctly announced that the press of
the state of Texas stands for and adj
vocates a fair, impartial law, unde-
filed through being born through re-
venge or spite, as it has always stood,
and that the effort to trim the present
law to respectable statute is directed
wholly to the elimination of the objec-
tionable provision which sets aside the
newspaper man as a special subject of
prohibitOry and restrictive legisla-
ton.
Resolved, that the press of Texas
has never received and does not ever
expect to receive from the railroads any
transportation except in payment for
advertising at its full value.
Resolved, that the press of Texas
does not indorse any system under
which under any conditions newspa-
pers shall receive free transporta-
ton
1t is proposed to have the test case
in the courts in less than a MONTH
The struggle at law when it is begun
will likely attract attention through
out the country.

AS Mr.. Fulton entered the library
his eyes fell upon the picture, and it
startled him SO much that he uttered
low cry. He went up and stood be-

dreaming or awake? The room, Lord
Bayneham, and the present faded from
him; he stood in Brynmar woods, under
the cool shade of the green trees the
lovely face blushed at his passionate
words, the fair young head dropped be-
meath his gaze. He was there wooing
Magdalen Hurst in the opening of her
fair youth and beauty. 1t was but
for a moment, and something dimmed
started; what, was he, Paul Fulton,
sentimental?-goin to cry because
beautiful picture resembled his wife,
making simpleton of himself for a
painted face?
You admire that painting" said
Lord Bayneham; 1T is considered an
exquisite gem of art
'I-I-once NEW some one whose
face resembled this" stammered e

Indeed" said Lord Bayneham, qui-
city; she must have been very beauti-
full, then"
then there came across him a vision
of his dead wife's face as he had seen
it last, white and worn with the mis-
cry and anguish of pain, deeper than
death.
THAT is my wife's portrait" said
Lord Bayneham.
THE resemblance is accidental"
said Mr.. Fulton; but it is certainly
very strong; yet the person of whom
| speak was not lady"
The false, mean words did not Bills

constitutes a perfect lady, his dead
wife, Magdalen Hurst, was certainly

Shall We proceed to business?"
asked Lord Bayneham, hastily. He
was beginning to feel somewhat an
noyed at this handsome stranger, who
stood so admiringly before his wife's
portrait besides, he did not like to
hear that there had ever been another
face like hers-it was peerless in his
eyes.
They entered warmly into their ar
rangements, and Lord Bayneham's
passing annoyance soon wore off.
There was no resisting the handsome
face and gay, easy temper. Paul Full
ton knew how to charm, and he soon
won the liking of the noble, unsuspic-
ious earl. He accepted with skillfully
concealed delight the invitation to

They said no more, but all that
