Thte te because of the fact tliat many year age tot peasants of Oberemmergau began te give, once In ten yearip'The Passion FUy.Then presentations became fameui toea, and th work was taken p by people who knew raert about theatrical methods and who had mere 9eney than the peasants. As each ten yean rolled around, the productions became mert elaborate. The nest one te only a few mentbt distant, and will be en a mere magnificent scale than any of Its predecessors. The old theatre has been tern down and re- plaeed by a new struct! re, which, although it will seat 8,000, leeks small, because it ti built close te the feet of the great Relchen mountains, at the northern end of the Tillage. Befere going farther with the description of the building it maybe well te say that "The Passion Play" te supposed te be a serial of pictures of the lif e, sufferings and crucifix ion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Several dayi are devoted te the progressive stages in th( life of the Saviour, and the grand climax ii reached in the death en the cress. BTAOK iron "TUK PASSION PLAT." The new theatre has a center stage for the tableaux vlvants aud an ante-stage for the grand precessions, which form a great part of the production. The 'center stew i framed by the facade of a Greek temple, and has, for the first time, nil the appointments of modern stage technlque. Beth sides of tlit teniple are flanked by the gates of the city, and beyond them nppear the streets of Jeru salem. Then fellow the proud palaces el Pilate and the high priest, Annas, en eithet side of which are large kails for the reception of the singers and the representants of th populace of Jerusalem. All these things have been arranged with con summate skill, ntid the effect is greatly height ened by the towering peaks of the "Bavarian Alps'1 in the background. In former years it bes been almost impossible te get light enough, but this annoyance will be prevented this year by the admission of daylight through the proscenium arch and the glaM reef, which (for the first time) covers tin stage, uud by the introduction of electric lights. The royal box and another box for the va rious high dignitaries, with auto-rooms np-, pointed wltu all modern convenien ces, are entirely under cover, ns well as about 1,500 seats in the specta tors' hall; the re maining beats near est the stage have the open sky for a ueme,tuuspreserv- f ing the aspect of the magulflcent mountain ranee. Ten large exftsKAM.x.ACTK.NScnLAeEB. lead immediately into the country beyond. In order te provide for accidents a hospital with a flre engine station will be erected near the Passion Play house. The en tire area cov ered by the buildings for the stage and spec tators' hall comprises nearly 3,300 square meters, which is about equally divided be tween the spectators' ball and the stage. The erection of the Passion Playheus, with the ether buildings connected with it, machineries and decorations, has been placed in the able hands of Karl Lautenschlaeger, chief master mechanic of the Koyal theatre of Munich. The plays take place en Sundays and holi days. Jeseph Mayer, who represented Christ Vtn lbSOf-bas ugnln volunteered for the role. "The Passion Play" nas made familiar te Americans by mime only, through the re markable career and melancholy end of , Salmi Mone. Dirly In lbTS he gathered a Una company of ncteis and uctresees, aud ' made costly and complete preparations for the production of "The Passion Play" in America. March 3 of the fellow iug year, he began a seriesef representations iu tbeUinnd 0)xra house, San Francisce. Ihe scene of the crucifixion and the descent from the cresere emitted In defeicncetc the pretests of the press and the clergy, who proneuueed It rank sacrilege. The supervisor called uien the manager of the liou.se and re quested him te suppress the play, but he re fused, and thereupon n law ns passed hav ing the end iu view expressed in the I equtstl The play was temporarily discontinued, but April 15 was again lanced en the stage. The police interfered, and finally, through lack of patronage, the plece was taken from the stage. In 1S&0 Merso endeavored te revlve "The Passion Play" in New Yerk, but a storm el pretests followed the announcement Dut lie at Inst succeeded in getting tbe usaef n building, and gave a dress rehearsal before an audience of Invited guests. The x)llcc authorities of the metropolis interfered, and a permanent injunction against producing the play nas secured. Seme time later his body was found in the North river, ut New Yerk. There Is little doubt that, succumb ing te the discouragements that faced htm, he committed suicide. MARTIN FARQUHAR TUPPER. The Auther of ''Proverbial Plillosetdiy," 'Wlui Died Iteceutly. Martin Farquhar Tupper, who died re cently in England, lived te discover that, after all, he had only caught the public attention for the hour. Fifty years uge he was in leve with his cousin, who bo be bo canie his wife, and it occurred te him te wiitoeut his notions en matrimony. It occurred te him te put them in the form of Solemon's proverbs. He extended them te include love, friendship and ed ucation. When published they com mended themselves te the peeple of that day, and Tupier suddenly found himself famous. N. P. Willis, who theu edited Tite Ilome Journal, get held of a copy and supposed the work waa something antique. He quoted it frequently in his journal, and this largely contributed te Tapper's reputation in America. While Tupper wrete nothing else that became widely known, his "Proverbial Philosophy" gave him a fine posi tion in literary circles, ami he lived te a geed old age enjoying the friendship of many eminent perbens. He went te sell oe 1 with V Gladstone and Thnckerav. A number of his UAUTIN p- tutper. schoolfellows, including Gladstone, Lord Elgin and ethers, formed themselves into a social club, which, in honor of its founder, Gladstene, waa called the "V. E. O." Mr. Tupper was in America In 1851. That was the time Jenny Lind set every ene wild all ever the United States. Tupper culled en Darnum, who intro duced liLn te the 60ugstres3.

The chances for the success of the Players' league are new being speculated upon In cer tain quarters, but se great is the partisanship displayed by the argumentaters that aa un biased person Dads it difficult te obtain a fair basis for a definite conclusion. Inasmuch, however, as the players aad their caplt!Utie friends have at toast ar ranged matters se that a start Is virtually as sured, a prospective of the affair from an un biased standpoint, and with a consideration of the sensible portions of the arguments of par tisan disputants, may well be made. Prima rily, therefore, all sentimentality must be cast aside, and the true cause for the spilt be tween the League and players be considered. This shows ns that in this case, at least, money Is the root of whatever evil exists. It also shows us that the financial prosperity of the Players' league Is the end aimed at, and that the League's success will be gauged by the amount of financial prosperity attained. This being admitted, It then becomes neces sary te discover what the sources of revenue are en which the Players' league will depend. Its adherent claim, and with truth, that the sympathy of the mass of tbe people Is with the players; that these who labor for days' wages are In accord with the new League and will give It their support, and that all levers of the gome will patronize their contests. But It may be asked: Is bosebalHupperted by "the mass of the people" and by "these who labor for wagesP This is problematical, and there are evidences that a negative reply would preve correct. Generally speaking, ioe pie who labor for days' wages ai e thoe who work for an existence, and have little money te waste en luxuries, of which baseball is surely one Of "the mass of people" who Hympalhlre with the players, this Is also true and mere, that of this "mass" the percentage cf.lhe'g n'teren aJTcnl eltbertlme or money Is almost infinitesimal. .--". Practically speaking, baseball Is supported by people who are net te be classed as either laborers or wealthy peeple. They area "class" unto themselves, undemocratic as this may appear. They are young men and old men, who belong te that army knewu as clerka Clerks in insurance offices, iu brokers' offices, In banks and mcrcantlle counting rooms, where wages are paid them that admit of mera than a mere living, and where working hours are shortened during the summer. Te this must be added the patronage of the rich and the transient trade of the percentage of "the mass of people," and these combined support the game. This then shows the class of peeple who swell the coffers of baseball clubs and enable the latter te pay princely salaries and ether expenses. Therefore, in proportion te population as this class Is, is the pcrccntage of patronage te a club in any city. New Yerk, Bosten and Chicago have the larger proportions; therefore, these clubs pay the largest salaries te players, biggest dividends te stockholders and make success ful the clubs there located. But what will happen in case this patron patron age is dividedl Well, if it be evenly divided, the existing clubs and thebO of the Players' lcague will, In all probability, be run at a less. If it Is net evenly divided, then the club securing the greatest amount has the greatest chance for financial success. And herein lies ene of the factors iu the success of the Players' lcague. Can its clubs command the greatest amount of this patrenagel Who can fay I Truly, as levers of baseball, the people will go where they obtain most for their money or the best article. The people of this class are doveld of sentiment when it becomes a question of money, and will net patronize the players simply because they think them te have been oppressed, or the magnates because they believe them te have been wronged. They will Ignere all sentimentality when it comes down te a question of obtaining the value of their money. Tbey will net merely consider tbe closeness of the contests between clubs or the sharp rivalry for the pennant, they "111 demand ample and geed accommo dations en grounds and easy uud romfertablo modes of travel te and from them. They will demand fair dealing throughout New, inasmuch as existing clubs have, as a rule, tbe choicest sites in the most accessible por tions of cities, they have an advantage which the Players1 league will have great difficulty in overcoming. The national league has also opportunities for obtaining the services of known geed men who will preve mero nttractlve than seme of the old tlmers in the Players' league wboe races are nearly run. Experience proves that the great body of players changa every tliree or four years, and, therefore, while the National League may be temporarily embarrassed for talent, such embarrassment U net likely te be a long continued handicap. The old League's record for having built up the game, anil of having eliminated its objec ebjec objec tienabla features, are ale factors iu the fight, and "ill cause it te retain the patronage of these who leve geed ball and honest ball. If the new League, In addition te possessing the "star" players, must give first of all geed ball and honest ball te obtain the patronage of the "class" that supports the game, and can retain that patronage, financial success will be possible. But ether things are equally necessary. Tbe new League, te obtain the patronage, must make the publie generally believe that there is nothing In the nature of a hippo hippe hippo dremo In the playing; and while I beheve tbe teams will play as squarely and honestly In the Players' league as they did in the old League, I also bclleve that tliey will have a gigantic task te cenviucu the general public that the gate receipts de net enter largely Inte the question of victory and defeat. Theu there are ether factors te be consid ered. The conduct of the clubs; the methods of management: the methods that nil! be used by competitors; the telatlve chances of two or mera teams in ene city: the effect pro duced If only n few clubs make money all these and ether considerations have great bearing en the question, "Will the Players' leugue succeed!"

Fashion letter. fe pe THE MALAY CHRISTMAS. AN ANCIENT PAGAN FESTIVAL STILL CELEBRATED IN AMERICAN PORTS. II Is Handed Dewa from teeg Age, aad Is Met Clearly Understood by All the Mala Population A Curious People and Where They Came from. Special Comapendsnoo. New Yerk, Doe. 5. Among the end less mixture of races which make up the population of the United States the Malay occupies an interesting if net a prominent place. Though au unknown figurein social economy twenty years age, the Malay's face is new se familiar in the great seaboard cities as te excite neither surprise nor comment. Hew many members of the brown skinned race are in the United States it Is hard te deter mine. Beth census officials and -custom heuse authorities display a superb ignor ance as te oriental races, and credit the Malay te China, Japan, Uindoestan, Arabia, Egypt nnd Ethiopia, with ad mirable disregard of truth. The treuble in the matter is that the Malay is net a pure blooded rnce. In Manilla his bleed Is se mixed with Chinese Spanish and Annamcse as te be phyBloleglo mosaic. The Mnnillcse may for this reason present the appcarance of a Mengel, a Castillau or a West Indian half-breed. In JnvaandSumntrnhe has been crossed with IllndoOatanese, Semites and negrees. Immigrants from these lands resemble mulattoes, Arabs and inhabitants el Bengal. Of the thousands in the United States, a large fraction consists of clgarmnken who have learned their trade in Manilla and ether eastern manufacturing cities, and who new make a comparatively handseme living in the New World by making cheroots, cigarettes, stogies, tebies and cigars. Anether body is com posed of cooks and stewards who have quarreled with Bliip captains, or wlic have grown weary of life en the sea and have settled down te ether pursuits. Others nre runners ferscmncn'a bearding houses, peddlers of oriental goods, "bouncers" in sailors' gambling lieuset and attaches of low dance halls, cheap P" glVgTk?i vlle slop shops nnd ethei nl.arivt in which the newly nrrlved marl' ncr bends his var-lWU)Jsh,Ker tium her i3 of sailors en foreign Bln'p3..Just ns the poorly paid Scandinavian seaman has driven the American out of business, nnd is new doing the same thing with the British jack tnr, se he in turn is suf fering the same oxperienco at the hand of the still mero poorly paid Lascar, Manlllese and Malay. The ships engaged in the Asintie trade are new largely manned by tills race. Some, indeed, employ nene but Malays. Iu the Atlantie marine the proportion is net se great, but even here nre employed thousands. This great seafaring popula tion is what has built up Malay colenics itt New Yerk, Bosten, Baltimore, New Orleans, San Francisce and Pertlnnd, The largest is naturally iu the first named city, and varies, according te the ship that may be in the harbor, from a few hundreds te about two thousand. Most of it is te be found in the bearding houses for sailors that make se promi nent a feature iu the streets that adjoin tiie East river, New Yerk. While the Malay has no distinctive re ligion, he still preserves n rude faith in the ancient Sanskrit doctrines. Con quests nnd missionaries from evcry where have exerted n profound infiuence upon his mind, and left it in a hopeless mud mud dle wherein Buddhism, atheism, mate rialism, Mohammedanism, Confucian ism, Keman Catholicism and Protestant ism occupy equal places. They have net, however, rooted out the belief which the Brahmanlc peeple stamped ages age upon the Malay Intellect. This crops out here nnd there, and finds its best expres sion in the "Feast of Rema or llahma," which corresponds closely te our Christ mas and the Chinese winter festival. While Rema is no ene less than the old Indian demigod, whose labors and ex ploits have been immortalized in the great eple the Ramayaua, he is viewed in all sorts of lights by his helievers. Ac cording te eome Malays, Rema is the, same thing te an educated Malay as Santa Cluus te au American. Others take iv different view in deflating that Rema is another name, or else the Malay name, for Queng Tni Geng, the favorite for Ged in Chinese, while Btlll ethers nre of the opinion tliat Rema was their god long age, when they believed in gods. The feast occurs in December, between the 11th and the 23d days of the month, and is determined by the position of the moon just prier te the winter solstice. In the cast it is celebrated with all kinds of queer ceremonies. Edward Michael, a New Yerk journalist, Bays: "The feast of Rema in the Malay countries is an interesting mixture of observances. On the religious side are any amount el ceremonies which seem midway In char acter between these of Christianity nnd Buddhism. More singular than the re ligious is the secular phase. Fer many days the peeple step work nnd indulge in turtle fighting, quail fighting, cock roach, spider and scorpion fighting. The wealthy and nobility set apart three days for bloodletting, in which animals, tame and wild, are killed in the crudest manner by the continued infliction et small wounds. I recall ene Boniest prince who killed two tigers in thii way, aud who, in the frenzy which seemed te possess him, deliberately cul and stabbed himself be as te increase the bloodshed. It is net an uncommon occurrcnce for a celebrant, crazy with excitement and fiery rice brandy, te in flict fatal wounds upon himself during this mad feast. It was from this ro re ro markable festival, probably, that the expression urose of a 'Malay running amuck.' The bloodletting must have an historical origin, and doubtless com memorates the wounds and sufferings of the Sanscrit divinity, Rema." While the Malay Christmas ia cele brated in every place where there nre members of that race, the celebration has nond'ef the sanguinary features of the uative lands. In New Yerk last year It waa observed iu at least thrce places places places ene en Pell street, a second en Cherry and n third en Mett street. The forms were about the same in each instance. A dwelling room was utilized as n church. The bed was covered with coverlets nnd rugs, se as te becoine a comfortable leunge, and n table was converted into nu altar by draping it with cloth. On the altar was a statue of Rema, consist ing of a black substance originally carved in the semblance of n man, but be worn and abraded with years of use or travel as te be almost n rounded, indistinguish indistinguish able fchapc. In ene instance the mate rial of the image seemed ebony or ancient teak weed; iu the becend, unvltrificd black iettcry ware, and in the third ba salt, obsidian or torae etiicr volcauie rock. On either side were little boxes filled with sand and containing, inserted in the latter, curious little wooden cnjvlngs tliat suggested uiluiature fans, unjirclhu. and halhcids. Whether they were used as altar ornaments, like the odd metal pieces and iiercelaiu ware se common te Buddhist shrines, or as nccessetics te worship, like the spring garlands in Chi neeo churches, it was Impossible te deter mine. In front of tlie image were dimin- & - tee4 unve oewtt nnee wttn tea, win ana arraeki email saucers contain lag pieces of chopped chicken, sliced perk, curious sweetmeats, dried fruits, nuts and un known vegetables. On another tabic was a substantial lunch, of which the chief features were a roasted stuffed kid and seme roast perk, tea, wine and ar rack. The articles en the altar were in dividual gifts from theso present; these en the table were paid for from an assess ment levied en each person. The room waa well filled with Malays, dressed in mero or less European fash ion. Most of them were seafaring men, but a goodly number were cignrmakcrs. They passed the time in conversation, talking earnestly but In low tones., and continuously smoking cigarettes or che roots. Twe used the long, cane-like Japanese pipes, iu whose small pewter bowls they burn the pungent red tobac co of Qunn-Tung. Either when nil the company were ready, or else when the time appointed by custom had arrived, the head celebrant or priest emerged from the deer leading te the rear room. Ile was apparently a clgarmakcr, and had made himself n clerical rebe similar te theso worn by clergymen nnd judges. Ile proceeded directly te the altar, be be be eoeo which he bowed and sang, or rather intoned soma hymn. Several in the au dience joined him in the song, but using a pianissimo that was scarcely mera thnn humming. During the hymn he knelt, bowed, salaamed and went through enough gymnastics for ft pro fessional acrelmt. A brief nllocutien et prayer followed, and the celebrant's work was ever. It had net lasted mera than ten minutes. He went back into the rear room, seen returning in his or dinary clothes. Ah he left the apartment different tnetnbcrs et the party came forward and went through with similar but shorter exercise. Several took no part, looking as if they did net see or understand what was going en befere them. When every ene had had an opportunity the parly turned te purely physical delights, nnd eagerly attacked theeatnbles both en the table nnd the altar. Like the Chinese nnd Japanese, they drank large quanti ties of tea, but very sparingly of the nlcohelia leverages. Ne Malay present drank mero than four cups of liquor, and as the cupt nre tiny thimbles of porco perco porce lain, holding a scant tcospeonful, the maximum amount is net ns great ns the slugle drink of an nvcrnge American. One of the company who speaks the "'guanish laugun franca of the East In- dicsw&na'(t-,d what was the meaning of the hynuf Ti.lli l10 P"ayer, nnd after a mninfnt'RliiallnTfr?2.anaWCredt "They are very lik!r-frJ,y,nn9 BnJ prayers used by your ieopferfi!5Sr' i"-"i- --- -. us Knew iiieiu in wuuiu but de net knew their exact meaning.
