very large number of friends and

After this ceremony, the soldiers fired
salute over the grave of their dead
comrade.
Rev. Carl Martin was born in Ger.
many 60 years ago. He was drafted
into the German army while still a
young man His career as a soldier
was long and interesting one and
that he was brave and loyal soldier
is shown by the two gold medals
which were inferred with his remains
Thursday afternoon.
In 1866 he saw much active service
in the war between Germany and Aus
tria and received a gold medal from
the emperor not only for being one OF
many hundred soldiers who had gone
through much service without a repri-
mand and for length of service, but
also for GOODNESS and bravery. This is
a medal, say the German soldiers, that
is rarely given and only in case of ex-
traordinary merit does the soldier re-
ceive it. Besides this medal, Mr.. Mar
tin had medal for regular service.
This medal" said Rev. Mr.. Martin
to friend not long ago, pointing to
the insignia, will be one thing which
l will carry to my grave"
His remark was conveyed to his
comrades, and when his body was
slowly lowered to it's last resting place
two medals we're pinned upon his
breast.
Rev. Carl Martin was we'll educat
ed man, and is said to have been
blessed with a remarkable memory.
He was loved by his entire congrega-
ton and every person who ever came
in contact with him was Immediately
his friend He had friends all over the
state and in the east, and was very
popular here. He will be greatly miss
ed by Norfolk.

See Famous Passion Play.

Nuremberg Bavaria, May 14.-Spe
cial to The News: The charms of
travel still fascinate our minds and
we leap on at rapid bounds; one day
we tour the hills of beautiful Florence
but two days later we sail on the
Grand Canal of Venice in gondola
but another leap and we are coaching
in the Tirolese Alps, and thus we keep
our transit.
A few days ago we visited the beau.
tiful modern Munich, the capital of
Bavaria, a city of $4,000 people
with its attractive parks and gardens,
it is much like many of our own
cities. 1t is a great railroad center.
Here we visited the principal places
of interest as the Royal palace, the
Glyptothek and the Alte Pinakothek
the Glass palace and the English gar
dens and then we chartered two au-
tomobiles and took in the surrounding
county. From Munich we went to
ODER Ammergau, in which the fam
Gus Passion play was presented and
remained here two days.
In this town of 1900 people we met
the great rush Of people; the trains
going and coming were all full and
it was hard to get seat. We attend
ed the play on Monday, May 16, and
that day there were 10000 tourists
in the town; people were crowded in
everywhere. Some paid 81 for a chair
RI cit IN oil niO OF
all night waiting for some one to
leave so they could get their beds.
But it is said that July will be the
real rush. 1t is surprising to note that
the great majority of these tourists
were Americans and that four-fifths
Of them are women. Either off for
a summer outing or looking for a
duke or count. And really 1t Is very
amazing how much these peculiar
creatures cost. Yet American women
hunt for them and often to their sor-
row. We would advocate Americans
for Americans and less fortune or IT,
tie seeking and domestic life will be
much happier for the women. Ober.
Ammergau is a pleasant town, the
people are plain and seemingly hon.
est. Many of their homes are paint
ed on the outside with some scene or
event of history and then their sta
bles and homes are all in the same
building. l wish / could go in detail
and give an account of the Passion
play, this would take two hours speak
ing or writing and would cover half
page of The Daily News, so / must
close this part with bare mention.
In general the presentation was very
fine, the tableauX and groupings es-
pecially were fine. Anton Long repre-
scented Jesus, and his part was to be
admired, as also was that of the man
who acted Saint John, Saint Peter,
Judas Iscariot, and Mary, who repre-
scented the mother of Jesus. The
whole presentation gave the impress
sion of the real crucifixion and the
pierced side of the master and scene
on the cross was very real act and
in fact, only a few years ago the
crucifixion was real and every ten

JOKE THAT PROVED COSTLY
Actor More Than Met His Match III
Contest with Quick-Witted
Auctloneer.

Charles Mathews, the famous
English actor, once INDUCED disas-

mimicry. The ridicule on this oc-
casion was at the expense of Mr..
Tattersall during sale of blood
stock conducted by that well-known
auctioneer.
"The first lot, gentlemen said
Mr.. Tattersall, ''is a bay FLY by
Smolensko."
"The first lot, gentlemen" echoed
Mr.. Mathews in the same tone of
voice, "is bay FLY by Smolensko."
The auctioneer looked somewhat
annoyed, says the writer of English
Comedians of the Past" but pro-
ceeded:
"Well, what shall we begin with ?"
"Well, what shall we begin with p

DEACON HAD A WORD TO SAY
Francis Wilson's Story Apropos of
Enforcement of Law Against
Children on Stage.

Francis Wilson, the comedian,
said at a dinner in New York,
apropos of the law that forbade the
performance of his play, ''The Bach
elor's Baby"
"The law against child labor is an
excellent one, but it is an abuse of
this law to forbid children, properly
protected to appear on the stage.
''The best of things are open to
abuse, you know. Even prayer meet
ings! William Spargus rose in
prayer meeting one night and said
he desired to tell the dear friends
present of the great change of heart
that had come over him, SO that he
now forgave, fully and freely, Dea-
con Jones for the horse he had sold
him.
! deacon Jones was too shocked
at first to reply. He soon recovered
himself, however, and he rose in his
pew and said:
"T am, indeed, glad, dear Chris
,tian friends, to have gained Brother
William Spargus' forgiveness, but
all the same he amt paid me for the
boss YETI"

FRIEND ACROSS THE WAY
The Serious Man Steps Over and
Gives Him Three Lumps
of Sugar.

'Hello, there's a friend of mine
across the way"
So said a serious business man
who was walking with another man
along an uptown street early in the
morning, and at that the other man.
looked across, and he didn't see any
body; all he saw was a milkman's'
wagon, with horse attached, stand.
ing over there by the curb; but, as
he was going that way himself, he
walked across with the serious man,
and then, on that side, when they
had come little nearer he saw the,
milkman's horse curling up his
upper lip as they approached.
They halted by the horse and then
the serious man took from his
pocket three humps of sugar which
one after another he fed to the horse.
1t was the horse that was his friend
across the way, and, as the serious
man and the milkman, both meth
odical men, are pretty sure to meet
somewhere along that block at the
same hour, daily, the mill1man's
horse gets his three Jumps of sugar
every morning.
