BOWER Chairman AP ff at sesm————— The Passion Flay at Oberammergana, The modern drama originated in the early days of the Christian church un- der the name of Mysteries, Miracle plays, and Moralities. The Mysteries date back to the eighth century. They were performed in the churches by the clergy and were a part of the di- vine service, treating exclusively Bib- lical subjects. This method of impart- ing religious instruction was well suit- ed to the times when the majority of church goers were illiterate and under- stood nothing of the usual service Boon, however, the elements of super- stition and amusement crept in and early in the 13th century Pope Inno cent III and other high authorities forbade the performance of mysteries iu the churches and by the clergy. Tue citizens then took up the myster- ies and they were removed from the church to the market place; various changes were introduced and they as- sumed a new form and a new name— Miracle plays. The sacred character of the plays remained but it was great- ly modified to suit the customs of the time and in the 15th century the slages were moved from the street into buildings and an entrance fee was charged. Allegorical representations of virtues and vices took the place of Biblical events and now we have the Moralities and finally by a natural pro- cess of evolution the modern theatre, In Oberammergau, a beautiful village in Bavaria, the Passion Play Mystery Is still performed by the peasants every tenth year in fulfillment of a vow made by the people in 1634 to this effect, if the village escaped the plague. The actors, 850 in number, are chosen from the villagers. The performance lasts from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m, aud is repeated on twelve succeeding Sundays, attract. ing very large audiences from Europe and America as it is the only place where the true mediseval Mystery can be witnessed, The last representation was witness. ed by Judge Furst, of Bellefonte, who has kindly consented to give an ac count of this wonderful survival of a bygone age for the benefit of the Aid Bociety of the Presbyterian church, which has chosen this way of securing means to make some needed repairs at the manse as well as to give their townspeople a rare treat, Bee Grunt Hoover before you insure, CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA NEWS, THE REPORTER, Accidents and Misfortunes and General | News of Interest, While making garden Willis Reig- hard, of Loganton, unearthed a nest containing fully a thousand cut worms, Ninety-six students will graduate from the Dickinson College, Carlisle, on July 1.

It would directly en. courage the purchase of votes and furnish the positive evidence to the In forcing the vote directly on the Guffey bill and compelling the Republicans ot the House to openly repudiate Senator Quay’s promise to help enact a Guffey law, Representative Creasy has furnished the Democratic party of the State the best possible issue before the people in the election of the next Legislature. Upon this issue and that of economy in public expenditures there should be no question about the result. The present Legislature, dominated by the machine Republi cans, has refused to keep Republican pledges to enact honest ballot and apportionment laws, created unnecessary offices, revolutionized city governments and is preparing to enact a costly State Capitol law and to perpetuate an extravagant policy of State expenditures.

John D. Rockefeller, who owns nearly a third of the Trust's stock, takes £10,000,000, as his share of the profits of five months’ business. That is at the rate of £24,000, 000 for the year, and it is probable that the year's actual total gains will be even greater. Mr. Rockefeller recently stated that the Standard Oil Trust pavs about $22,000,000 a year in wages to workingmen, a little less than his individual share of the profits, and that in thirty years he has paid between £600,000,000 and 700,000,000 to laboring men. Ile did not say what the profits of those thirty years were, but as dividends amounting to nearly half the wages of thirty have accrued in seven years 1t is probable that the profits have equaled the expenses of the Trust, HE CAPITOL CONSTRUCTION BILL which originally named the governor and State and legislative officers as building commissioners, having once been defeated and then reconsidered, passed the State Senate by a vote of 28 to 15. As the bill stands the -apitol commission will consist of the governor, and four others to be appointed by the governor, one of whom must be a Democrat. Should the bill in this shape pass the Honge, about which there is some doubt it will be interesting to see the character of the commission the govern or names, [ Historical Notes, continued from first page ) There were interests at sinke and he had the happy faculty of making himself rather agreeable on occasions like this, but he was a man who could be provok- ed and the difference in his facial sppearance when in good humor or in bad humor was very marked. While he never was considered a good looking man, one cruel person made the remark that Mr. Witmer was a better looking man when he was angry than when he was ina very good humor. This remark was however, not made disparagingly, for he was a friend of Mr. Witmer. The writer of these historical notes was not present on this occasion but she who be. came his wife eight years afterwards was present and enjoyed the hilarity of the festive occasion.
