PASSION PLAY" FOR
BENEFIT MILITARY
Famous Moving Pictures
At ArmOry Tonight.

THE Passion Play in moving pic
lures was given last night at the Arm
DRY. The crowd was small, on &C
count of the inclement weather and
the interference of other attractions
Those who saw the production last
night spoke in the highest terms OF
its merits and were delighted with the
entertainment.
Tonight another exhibition will be
given by Manager W. w. Kane, who
is giving the show for the benefit of
the Americas Light Infantry. The
members of the company will have
tickets for sale today, as will also the
principal drug stores.
The production of the Passion
Play" with the illustrated songs, oc-
cupies an hour and a half. The pic
lures represent scenes from the life of
Christ. 1t is recommended by clerg-
men and religious bodies generally.
1t is reproduced from the Passion
Play given every ten years at ODER
Ammergau.
Mr.. Kane comes here from Albany,
where he has been giving exhibitions
several days. The Albany Herald, in
closing an account of the show, said :
Every person in Albany, who can
possibly do so, should see these won
derful pictures while the opportunity
is available"
The exhibition tonight will begin at
8 o'clock.

BURGLARS ARE BUSY
ABOUT AMERICAS

While Americas has this far escap-
ed wholesale house-breaking other
towns in this section are less FORUM
ate Only night or two ago seven
burglaries were committed in a night
at Dawson, while in other towns the
sneak thieves and porch-climbers are
getting in their work. Americas
sometimes has such epidemic to con-
tend with, but just now the police are
keeping tab on all suspicious char
acters, tramps, and professional beg
gars who come this way. In the mean
time citizens should lock well their
doors at night, keep the family shot
gun handy and encourage the bulldog
to renewed vigilance

STREET RAILWAY ASSURED.

At last Americas is assured of a
new street car line. This time there
is no room for doubt. Work is to be-
gin soon and the line is expected to
be in operation by May l.
All this is very gratifying to the
people of Americas and that the pro-
motors have decided to push the work
forward is a compliment to the city
and an evidence that disinterested OBJ
servers are fully satisfied in their be-
lief that Americas is a town with a
bright future.
During the present week President
Walker, of the Americas Railway &
Light Co., has been in the city to ar
range the final details. Everything
was found to be satisfactory and he
announced unequivocally that work
would be begun at once
Aside from the benefits which will
come from the distribution of a large

from this section, the road, when
completed will be a mark of progress
which will favorably impress every
visitor. One improvement begets
another and in the wake of a street
railway system will come industries
which otherwise might seek other
locations.
With the advent of the street rail
way Americas will take on quite a
metropolitan appearance. Values of
residence property will be enhanced
as far out as the lines extend, as the
road will enable those who work
down town to get in and out cheapIy
and comfortably.
Americas will extend a warm well

prosperity the people will heartily re-
joice. The street railway will mean
much for the upbuilding of the city,
and what helps the city will in turn
rebound to the profit of the com
pany. May it grown in length and
prosperity as the years go by.

PLENTY OF MONEY is
HELD BY THE BANKS
Certificates Are But Little
Used Here.

I'VE pay out five times as much
cash money as we pay certificates in
a days business" said an Americas
banker to the Times-Recorder yes
terday, when asked regarding the
financial situation in general, and in
Americas in particular.
1--WE have all the money we need;
in fact we have always had it for
that matter, but prudence required
that we husband our resources dur
ing the unusual stringency of a few
weeks ago."
And this was the gratifying state
ment made by other bankers here.
The actual currency is to be had
when needed and now that confidence
is fully restored throughout the
country many people who had hoard
ed small sums at home are again
putting it in the banks, or in circu-
lation, as suits them.
That there has been a general
"loosening up" in the financial situa-
ton there can be no doubt
OF the issue of $4,000 in clearing
house certificates authorized by the
Americas banks, less than $4,000, or
Hdll the amount, mas even Deen put
in circulation. But it relieved the
situation at the time when relief was
most needed
The very fact that the banks were
thus amply fortified with $4,000 of adj
ditional funds, and even double that
amount had it been needed, relieved
the situation here immensely. And
this was the case in other cities, as
in Americas.
Already one or two Georgia cities
are calling in their certificates, and
the Americas clearing house will do
the same within thirty days, carrying
the issue through the holiday season
only.

MOONLIGHT FAILED
AMERICUS UTTERLY

Columbus discovered America all
right, but he never would have dis
covered Americas last night had he
depended upon our magnificent street
lighting system as a beacon The
night was inky black, it rained, but
the lights came not at all in the res
idence districts where hundreds of
citizens floundered home through
mud and water ankle deep. In the
business section the lights sizzled
family until 1880 o'clock and then
srzzled to sleep, Grier's almanac was
the cause of the trouble. According
to the almanac the moon should have
been shining, and Americas is run on
a moonlight schedule. Shame upon
the almanac for having thus over
whelmed Americas in Stygian black
ness.

Again the cheap guy and sensational
advertiser: viz. an eX-priest is in our
midst. exposing the fallacious teach
ings of the Bible of Christ last Sun
day at Eureka, under the caption, Eek
Roman Catholic priest, Rev. John
Hannack. mo such name appears in
the published list of Catholic clergy for
the past ten years in America or Can
ada) proposed TO lecture an6 enlighten
! the people of that mining camp. He
proposed to open the eyes of the people
/ by pulling down instead of building up
christian principles and christian NOR
aiity. The farce would wind up with
spirit tests, also materialliZing TO the
audience Saul of Tarsus as he appeared
in life. Truly from the sublime to the
ridiculous. The glaring and sensational
dodgers did not appeal to the hard
sense and intelligence of The >eitizens
of Eureka. The audience. consisted of
two dozen persons. From the admis-
sion price, twenty-five cents, enough
was not realized to defray expenses.
The lecture which was intended to
undermine christianity, was a failure.
Mr.. Hannah, when asked by one of
his hearers to produce his authority re-
ferred the inquirer to the Progressive
Thinker Publishing company" As al
spiritualist. his frequent invocations
for Jennie brought no response, as
there was no person of that name pre-
sent. This caused a litter to the dis
comfort of the Progressive Thinker. |
Perhaps it was revenge when one of the !
audience was told that death would |
soon enter his family circle. The in
credulous nearer resented the false /
prophets announcement by taking
French leave.'
