1.-THE BRITISH ARMY
MADE IN AMERICA
The Cry Of Dissatisfaction Of English
Tradesmen Over the Contracts Plae-
ed IL This Country.

London. Oct. S.-The large British
horseshoes and for American canned
meats are still affording themes for
argument to patriotic Britishers. The
British Army, made in America" is
the latest cry but, so far, has not at
tracted many followers. The British
workman. despite the summing up of
lcaricaturists and humorous writer's, is
"a particularly common sensed individ-
ual who knows that as a rule, his is
the paw that is made to lift the chest
nuts from the fire.
The trust of horseshoe manufacture
ers, who trusted to the patriotism Of
the government for a continuation Of
its inflated prices, has been taught a
salutary lesson by Mr.. Haldane and
their disastrous i'll wind had dwindled
into a beneficent zephyr by the time it
reached America.
An attempt is also being made to
stir up Canadian feeling by alleging
that there are many places in that
dominion quite as capable Of taking
big army meat contract as Libby's, but
of course, these only exist in the inner
CONSCIOUSNESS of political wire pullers.
There is no place in the world so
well equipped as Chicago for the car
rying out of big contracts and the
British government knows 1t. The
last straw is the news that the 100000
chairs for the various British barracks
are TO be made in the American pat
tern.

CHINESE GRAF TING
IN HIGH PLACES
Prince Ching, the Most Exalted Func-
tionary, Involved in Scandal.

Pekin. Oct. although the Chinese
administration is undergoing reform
by Imperial edict, graft is still ram
pant in every department. Prince
Chang, the highest functionary of the
empire. and his son Tsai Chen have
been involved in a sensational bribery
scandal, but their position was too
exalted for them to be punished.
Prince Ching stands next to the
dowager empress in power, and Esen
Chat is president of the board of
commerce. The accusation against
them, made by an official censor was
that Prince Ching received a large
bride, and Tsai Chen the gift of a
singing girl. from Tuan, for the ap-
pointment of governor of Heilung
Chaing. 1t is notorious that all the
higher government appointments are a
source of much profit TO Prince Ching,
and other high officials.
The impeachment was published in
the official Pekin Gazette, which also
contained a proclamation ordering an
investigation by Prince Kung and Sun
Chia-nai. Prince Ching himself, it was
announced had desired that the CEN
sor's statement should be published
but this was a willy Celestial dodge.
There was a delay of ten days before
the Impeachment was published, which
allowed time for the singing girl to be
sent away from Pekin, with other evil
dence Of graft.
The result Of the inquiry was that
no evidence was found to prove the
statements of the censor, who was dis
missed. and that Prince Ching and his
son were guiltless of receiving brides.

THE PASSION PLAY.
lis Origin, According to the Tradi-
ton of OberammerRau

lis Origin, According to the Tradi-
ton of Oberammergau.
According to local tradition, the orr
gin of the Oberammergau Passion
play was as follows: When in the year
1888 a 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 a rampant Of
mountains, the Ammerthaiers succeed
ed for time In protecting themselves
against the dread contagion, but one
day 4 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 q
corpse, and In less than three weeks
the plague had carried off eighty-four
of the Ammerthalers.
Despairing of all human succor, the
terrified survivors addressed them
selves to God and registered a 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 a 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
fulfillment of the vow of these simple
villagers took place at Oberammergau
IN the following year, and it has been
repeated every ten years without q
single omission
