BUSY AT oseRAmmeReAu.
Already Preparing for the Presenta-
tation of the Passion Play.

Alreaoy preparing TOT the Presenfa-
tation Of the Passion Play.
oberammergau is already busy
with preparations for the perform
ance of the passion play. which VIII
take place next year. London letter
to the New York Sun says. Thirty
dates have been fixed between -ay
Is and Sept %, OF which nineteen
are Sundays Extra performances
are sometimes given on Mondays,
when there are more people in the
village on the preceding Sundays
than can find places in the theater.
The great problem of the passion
play committee is to prevent the per
formances from degenerating into
commercialism. The play common.
morates the departure of the plague
from the village in 1888 and the de
now than it has ever been: but al
ready this autumn, agents have can
vassed the entire village to buy up
sleeping accommodations for next
summer and prices have been ofreI-
ed for single rooms which have al
most turned the heads of the peas
ants.
No one can witness the passion
play who has not spent the previous
night in the village itself. Every
house is registered as possessing d
certain amount of sleeping accommo-
dations. and the total number of beds
in the village is approximately the
number of seats in the theater-4,-
200 One third of the beds in eacn
house must be placed at the disposal
of the local official lodging bureau.
/ The householders may make their
own terms for the other beds, with
maximum charge rigidly fixed by
! the committee.
Three great tourist offices Of Lon
don, Berlin and Munich have secured
certain number of beds for the
night before each performance. Many
OF the village are .reserving accom-
mediation for visitors of 1900 to whom
they are pledged and whom they re-
gard as friends.
The Durgomaster, Herr Bauer, mas
promised all his available beds to
an English woman. twelve miles
away, and will convey her guests to
he village in motor car. She has
aiready received 200 applicants for
the accommodation.
The large firms of tourist agents
have already about 5000 applications
and the local bureau is receiving
scores daily. Offers of sc and 81 a
night for convertible sitting rooms,
which the villagers would gladly let
in ordinary seasons for 25 cents
day, are BEING made by agents, but
such speculative offers have no
chance of acceptance

pretty young woman and they have
three children. He is still a WORK

TEXAS ADANOONS
IRON INDUSTRY
FURNACE, PIPE eouNoHY AND
ORE BEDS WILL BE
SOLD.
toNVlcTs TO BE EMPLOYED IN
WORK THAT WILL PROVE
MORE PROFITABLE.

Austin, Texas. Dec. 30.-The state
of Texas has decided to go out or
the iron business. It is claimed by
the state board Of penitentiary com
missioners, which has charge OF the
iron industry on behalf of the state,
that il has proved improbable, and
that it cannot be successfully car
ried on with convict labor under ex-
isting conditions.
The state of Texas established the
iron industry at the .,usk peniten-
tiary several years ago Large tracts
Of .ron-ore land, situated in the vi
entity of the prison were purchased,
railroad and other transportation ia
cilities we're established to bring the
ores from the mines TO the I0O-ton
furnace which was erected. A pipe
factory, which has daily capacity
of 20 tons, was built, and everything
arranged for carrying on the indus
try. The legislature made an appro-
priation of $4,000. which was used
in experimenting as to the possibi!-
tiles of the industry
The results We're satisfactory tor
a time, but during the last two years
the furnace has been operated at a
heavy loss. The last legislature made
another appropriation of 100000 in
aid of the industry The last of this
money has been spent without bring
ing in any returns to the state
At meeting of the state board
of penitentiary commissioners lust
held it was decided to shut down the
furnace and pipe foundry and aban-
don the industry as soon as the stock
now on hand could be cleared up.
There are approximately 5000 tons
Of pig iron on hand, which is not sai-
able, and it viii run the pipe foundry
full capacity for about three months.
The foundry is at present running
on half time More than 10000 tons
Of ore have been stripped and stacked.
and in addition to this, there are
5000 tons ready for smelling There
are about 20 cars of coke on hand.
1t is claimed by members of the
penitentiary board that the convlcts
are worth more to the state from a
financial standpoint by being kept
within the walls Of the prison and
idle than to work them in the iron
industry It is understood that the
board eontemplates selling the fur
mace, ripe foundry and ore beds 70
private interests.
The state railroad, which ran from
the prison at Rusk through the tim
Der land and iron ore field, dis
lance of 10 miles, was recently ex-
tended to Palestine. 30 miles, was to
give the penitentiary an outlet for
its iron products and to chcapen the
cost of supplies.
This road has been operated at a
loss ever since its completion a few
months ago, and, with the abandon
ment of the iron industry, It will suf-
fer a heavy loss of traffic and be-
come a still greater burden to the
state
It has been the plan of the polit-
ical promoters of this state railroad
to extend it all the way across the
state. but it is considered unlikely.
in view Of its present unsuccessful
operation, that the legislature will
he willing to rake any additional APP
preparation for its extension.
