sion They will have to play their
cards with care. lest the Republican

the politics of the situation. that the
Canadian reciprocity measure Is to be

The constitution says that he tthe
PRESIDENT may on extraordinary oc-
casions convene both houses or either
of them, and in case Of disagreement
between them with respect to the time
Of adjournment he may adjourn them

Under that provision the Democrats
might be euchered out of their
chances. II they should pass the reel
prccity measure next weeL, and II II
should pass the senate and be signed
by the president the week following.

a most distressing accident few days
ago, by which she lost one OF her
limbs. On Sunday, two weeks ago
she was climbing over a fence and
in jumping down sharp pointed
rag weed pierced one Of her
limbs near the knee. The wound was
nearly an inch deep. She did not
know that it required the attention OF
a doctor. Blood poison developed,
and her condition became so serious
that amputation was found to be
necessary. The operation was per-
formed by Drs. Field and Elder assist
ed by DR.. HaygoOd.
The blood poisoning had made such
that it is feared she will not
recover. Her condition was critical

THE PASSION PLAY
At THE AUDITORIUM
Rev. Edward S. Doan to
Lecture as the Wonder
full Film is Shown.

The moving picture representation
Of the Passion Play is to be given at
the Auditorium next week, with a lee
ture each evening by Rev Edward 5
Doan, of St. James church
The dates are Monday Tuesday and
Wednesday, the 23d, oath and 25th.
The film of this world-famous play,
which has been given at Oberammer-
gau, Bavaria, every ten years since
1893, represents the scenes and events
described in the Bible, beginning with
the anunciation and ending with the
ascension of Jesus.
There has been some criticism of
the play because of the fact that it
deals with sacred things, but no one
can look upon the wonderful moving
picture with any other feeling than
one Of deepest reverence. The lee
ture Of Mr.. Doan explains the scenes
and will add greatly to the interest.
1t takes about an hour and twenty
minutes for the film to run through
the moving picture machine
The first picture is that of Mary. as
she comes into the garden with a
waterproof on her shoulder, and kneels
in prayer, while the angel Gabriel
suddenly appears and announces that
she will be the mother of the Saviour
Of the world. The next scene is in
Bethlehem, where Joseph knocks at
the inn and is rudely turned away, and
this is followed by the scene in the
manger.
The hilltops of Judea are shown,
with the shepherds watching their
flocks and a magnificent film shows
the wise men following the star with
their train OF camels and their retinue
of servants.
one scene is that of the carpenter
shop, another the TRANSPORTATION, and
still others the raising of Lazarus, the
rebuke of Simon for his interference
when the sinful woman was forgiven
the cleansing of the temple. the Last
Supper, the agony in the garden, the
trial before PLATE, the scourging, the
bearing of the cross up Calvary, the
scene between the two thieves, the
darkness and lightning, the tomb, the
soldiers watching, the resurrection
and the ascension.
There will be no matinee on account

caused universal sorrow in the wide

circulating tortures, though he bore
the pain with all possible iortitude.
Friday morning he went into the
yard at his home on Whitlock avenue
and did not return to the house. A
search was made for him and his body
was found in one Of the ut-buildings.
A revolver lay by his side, and the
coroner's jury returned a verdict that
he had committed suicide.
The members OF Mr.. Clarke's family
are convinced, however, that he shot
himself accidently He had been
accustomed to going into the chicken
house to shoot rats that had troubled
his chickens and shortly before his
death had spoken Of the fact that one
nest had been broken up and he was
going to watch for the rat and try to
protect another nest on which a hen
was sitting. It's thought he stumbled
over the door sill and in trying to re-
gain his balance accidently discharged
the pistol by striking some of the
roosts that were in his way.
The body was tenderly taken up
and borne back into the house, while
everything that sympathy could do
was done for his grief stricken loved
ones.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon from the family residence.
Mr.. Clarke was born in Milwaukee.
Wisconsin, and was graduate of
Cornell University. For ten years he
was Assistant Chief Engineer on the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
railroad. He was married to Miss
