THE PASSION PLAY OR
THE LIFE OF CHRIST

This production is of Il religious
character. To the church we must 90
FOR the origin of the drama. In the
middle ages when form became symbol
lciu all the wisest said dramatic
beginnings We're nurtured. In the early
church the Bible stories We're made
realistic. These plays commonly
known as Morality, Miracle, Mystery or
Passion Plays are of the past. You will
witness one of the best known of All
the productions of the stage and vet one
about which less is known than of any
other. The Passion Play is known in
every land, in every nook and corner
in the world. It is the privilege of few
to witness the original production of
the Passion Play at Oberammergan and
SO we have secured at great cost and as
special favor at this time reproduc-
tion after Pathe in artistically colored
effects.
1t is in remote Bavarian valley that
the last of all these dramas still exists.
During the summer months of every
decade it is witnessed every Sunday
and Monday by about quarter of a.
million people. Five hundred years
ago some drama of 1.-THE life of Christ
was performed at the same place.
About $50 years ago plague was
raging in Bavaria and in the little
secluded mountain village of Oberam
morgan hundred people had perished.
Accordingly the terrified survivors
made Il VOW that if their town were
spared all further ravages of the disease
they would thereafter every ten years,
portray in a dramatic form for the
instruction of mankind the story of
Christ's life and sufferings ..-.. ....,
/ Apparently this vow was heard, for
the plague ut once abated and the vii
layers true to their promise have every
ten years for nearly 800 years past, por-
trayetl the life of Christ in this dramatic
way. The cIS5umas makeup, attitude,
bearing and general character of each
scene is in imitation of old paintings
and engravings and very like the works
OF the masters. When you look upon
| the passing scenes on the serene Won
are witnessing the reproductions of the
masterpieces of art posed for by the old
time citizens Of Oberammergan. The
seven hundred actors are poorly paid,
| as the majority of the money received
goes into the improvement of the theatre
church and village endowment. Large
sums Of money are repeatedly offered by
European and American players for
their services in foreign lands, but they
have repeatedly declined the offer, their
purpose being not mercenary gain hut
religious duty. ...,
How simple peasants can understand
AMI represent with such skill such q
stupendous subject as the Passion Play,
is mystery to all who attend.
In the rendition Of the play tableau
of Old Testament characters and events
is introduced before each important
scene to symbolic and typify what is
to follow.
The next production of the Passion
Play at Oberammergan will be in 1910
from May to October. Hither q party
of fifty people from Elko have already
arranged to make pilgrimage.
Those familiar with the Bible history
will recognize the Biblical characters
and events as they are portrayed in the
hand -colored representation ut the NOV
ing picture show, next Friday and Sat
urday nights.

DANGER NOT OVER
BULGARIAN TROUBLE MAY BREAK
 OUT.
Anected Countries Are MaIntainiug Their Armies on War F0Otfng
 and War cloud fs
 stilI HOvers.
nY w. B. MIDDLETON.

Salonika. Nov. l4.--Some newspapers have declared that everything is quiet in Bulgaria and that all chance of war has passed away. Everyone ought to know, on the other hand that the prep arations for war continue throughout Servia. Bulgaria. and Eastern Ronnie. lIa. Roumanla, too, is beginning to set its military house in order. In point of fact the situation Is growing very serious and there isg nothing humorous iu it except the alleged resolve of the old Sultan Co send the leaders of the Young Turks into thA field at the ear Hest possible moment. s
 Looking on at the game In whtch th diplomats of Europe are the players and the peoples of the Balkans are the pawns. well-informed persons have long since known that the Macedonian question could only be settled by war. No one In the Near East was for moment deceived by the Murzstegg agreement, thonEh that is now an- etent history. Austris and Russia were playing for their own hand and not for the ameliofation of the lot of the Christians of the East. England, Nnconsclously. was playing Into the hands of both by setting at nought the efforts of the Turks to save thsul- selves. Then when at last thAI Young Turks. ridiculed by Lord Currie. oyer threw HamidIanism and inaugurated a form of constitutional government Austria and Russia saw the reads to the south hermetically sealed by a powerful military empire, such as three centuries ago carried its standards to the walls of Vienna. But one course was open, namely. to crush the new government before. 1t had time to or- ganize Its forces.
 Tne Young Turks had shown such moderation In the hour of their vic- tory. such capacity for evolving order out of chaos, such magnanimity to4 wards their cppressors. that there seemed every prospect of the unsxpeet- ed really coming to pass and the Sick Man taking on a new lease of life. So Prince Ferdlnand was invited to Bb- dapest. where he had hitherto been an unwelcome visitor; he was received with royal honors and the plot was matched which, on october 5th. burst as q bombshell into the chancelleries

exactly what our indebtedness is. Then again, Bulgaria knows that our army is now thoroughly disor8anfxed. We have been forbidden to carry out the simplest maneuvres, or to train our men in the use of the new weapons. Her armies. though numerically infe- rIor, are inimeasurably superior man for man. For Bulgaria to postpone a
 war for another two or three years
 would be to court inevitable disaster.
 Now she runs . goods chance Of gaining such an advantage during the initial stages of the campaign that we might be tempted to accept the present insult rather than court defeat. Mind you. feel sure that we shall win ia
 the long run. but the BuIgars will make a good show at the outset They have nine complete divisions. but they are very short of cavalry. and I doubt if they can can put Liore than 150,000 trained men into the field I take 1t from notes at my disposal that her actual forces will be: Four regiments of cavalry of the active army; six regiments of cavalry of the reserve; eighty-two batteries of field artillery; eight batteries of mountain guns of an
 old type; eight batteries of howitzers. also of an old type; 1S2 battalions of infantry. of which sixty-four will be very short of officers. Behind these there will be at least 100000 we'll trained men to i'll casualties, ana, ot
 course. we must expect to find young Russian ofacers fIoclking into Bulgaria
 as they did into servia In 1876, to flii the vacancies at the front.
 Now let me turn to our own army
 The first corps at constantinopie will
 need all it's active or Nizam troopssto defend the capital but it will be able
 to spare brigade of cavalry and a division of redifs to reinforce the sec
 ond division. which has It's headquar-
 ters at Adrinople. and whose mission
 will be to invade Eastern Rumelia. The second corps. which will stretch from
 the Black Sea to the Oriental railway.
 will consist of ten regiments of cav airy of the active army; four regi-
 ments of cavalry of reserve. four bat
 teries of horse artillery; sixty batter
 les of field artillery; eight batteries of mountain guns; eight batteries of howitzers; lSS battalions of the Sec ond reserve. The last will with the
 four regiments of reserve cavalry, keep open the line of communication.

l- i B. . Of Europe. Bulgaria threw oR the yoke of the Porte. and the grandson of Louis Philippe declared himself Czar of Bulgaria, while the Emperor kTancis Joseph announced the lncor- porati5n of Bosnia and Herzegovina into his kaleidoscoplc empire.
 Here, in Salonika. with it's hetero- gensons population of Jews. Turks. Bulgafs, Greeks. Roumanians and Serbs, all is ferment. This is the point of the lance. Here is the head quarters of the third army corps of the Ottoman army, the corps destined to bar the southward march of Austria and to carry Sofia by force if the sub lime Porte so wills 1T. Here stiIi is the seat of Hilmi Pasha. the Inspector General of those paper reforms so elaborately drawn up by western dip ioraats.
 Let me give the views of one of the generals on whom the task of leading division will fall. "of course" said he, I've all have foreseen that the new constitution was not to be unopposed. Now. just as we are preparing to put our forces into proper order, Bu1Earis declares her Independence, Austria throws down a second challenge and Greece--or rather, Crete--annexes her. self to Greece. From a military point of view all these states have done the right thing. Why. indeed. should they walt until our army was reorganized, when their chance. of success would be small indeed7 Personally. as a sol- dier, sympathise with Bulgaria. She saw Greece and servia, both far in. tertor in every way. recognised as kingdoms. she was a vassai state, nothing more natural than that she would wish to become an independent Kingdom. So long as the Oriental rail- ways were under the control of what was practically a Turkish company, Bulgaria was tied hand and foot. The lines are badly built. badly organized: the working ls disgraceful, and the rolling stock utterly inadequate We should be delighted to be able to do what Bulgaria has done; work the railways with our own troops and send the Israelitlsh financiers, who are draining our Mfes blood, back to their ,fices in Vienna. Unfortunately we cannot do so. The Sultan has so often applied to the company for friendly loans that no one outside the palace and the compang's own osFices knows
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-11-15

while tha whole of the rest of the force will form the striking army.
 Then we come to the third army corps. which will have to face the combined attacks of Austria and Bul- garia, if the former chooses to risk war, We can dispose of ten regiments of regular cavalry; six regiments or the reserve: five batteries of horse arr tillery; eighty-two batteries of feld artillery; twelve batteries of mountain guns; twelve batteries of howitzers; IFS battalions of infantry; le0 bat talions of the second reserve. we have. however, this advantage; on our left runs the mountains Of Albania containing some two millions or naroy Albanians who would readily enlist to fight. They are good shots. and though rather hard to hold in hand, have no doubt but that they would come forward to fill vacancies caused by the wastage Of war.
 "of the final results of a war I have not the smallest doubt, bnt whether Russia would allow us to reap the true fruits of our labor is another ques- ton. As Bulgaria has brought this trouble on herself. so should she De made to pay for throwing defiance In the face of Europe and We Turks are of opinion that Eastern Rumelia should be once more handed back to us. do not think that We have anything to fear from Servia, and with Greece we now are on the best of terms; indeed we at least a great many of us, think the time has arrived when Turks and Greeks should enter into a holy al- liance to put an end to the Slav pre- tentions in the Balkans. Bulgaria claims that the whole population of Macedonia and Thrace is Slav; the Greeks on the other hand claim the majority. It is our duty to protect the creeks from falling under the domina- tion of the Slav. I am at loss to conceive what has been England's object the past twenty years in playing into the hands of Russia. but the difficul- ties between Bulgaria and Turkey can only be settled by the sword"
 The first attack will probably be made by the Servians on the Austrians, but this will be merely the signal for a general conflagration in the whole Balkan Peninsula.

John Gnpin's ride in fiction was du-
plicated the other day at Great Bar
rington, Mass, and that with. all the

Carthy, telephone collector, got start
ed on q motor cycle that he couldn't
stop and covered fifty miles before he
finally ran the machine into a stone
! wall
Mccarthy was learning to ride the
machine. He turned it on full speed
and got friend to start him off. And
the machine started at a clip Of forty
miles an hour with Mccarthy yelling
'Stop 1t, stop it!' at every turn OF the
wheel.
From Great Darlington to five miles
beyond Canaan, Conn.,, where he man
aged to turn around, and then back
through Great Darlington to Housa-

dashed, with Mccarthy frightening
the senses out Of the neighborhood

"Our duties at home are of first i'm
portance, but our duties abroad are Of
vital consequence also. This nation
may fail, no matter how well 1t keeps
itself prepared against the possibility
Of disaster from abroad. But 1t will

officers, its enlisted men, shall at every
point be kept in the highest possible

NEW FOWL DISCOVERY.
Composer Finds Way to Make Tough
Birds Tender.

Birds Tender.
a simple method for rendering the
toughest old rooster on earth as ten
der and juicy as milk fed SQUAD has
been perfected by Charles x. Harris
of New York, summer resident of
Central Islip, n. 7.
The process, which is destined, Mr..
Harris says, to make boarding house
life one long dream Of joy, was dis
covered by accident The song writer
recently went into chicken raising
Among the brood he purchased for
starting purposes was an ancient cock
a-doodle-doer.
''Why, that?" asked Harris, pointing
his finger disdainfully. ssHe can't lay
eggs, and no self respecting hen would
take him for a husband
The farmer said the rooster was a
prize fighter, SO he was kept.
One night the venerable rooster tried
to pick a bug off a live electric wire
that ran up the side of the chicken
house and fell dead, current Of sew
eral hundred volts having passed
through his body.
Harris as an experiment cooked the
electrified fowl The result was as
tonishing. The rooster melted in the
| composers mouth. Harris has rugged
up a sschair" for tough hens and roost-
ers and has become regular electro
cutioner
