VIEW VERSION TO BE PRODUCED IN A SWISS TOWN. A Stage in the Open Ale—Six Hours Required to Produce the Great Play—Vivid 1111 ca1 lliatory De- picted. Itt the little watch making town of Selzach, Switzerland, this summer there will be presented a new version of the Passion Play. With rare exceP - Cons, the production nowadays of a play of this kind, dealing as it does with a living and breathing represen- t:Mon of Christ upon the stage, pro - yokes little opposition in many of the European countries. This country has not yet outgrown Its Puritanical abhorrenee of the Pas- sion Play, but in certain sections of Europe the desire on the part of the public: for productions of this kind is growing. Violent opposition at times greeted the first performance of' the play at Oberammergau some years ago, but all this is changed. Sonic of the foreign writers and thinkers re- gard this change not in a religious light at all. They assert that it is merely one of the revolutions in taste of the stage -loving public, and point to the fact that in the realm of thee- tric art a change in rapidly •working in the direction of the popular plays or mysteries of the Middle Ages. The public, they claim, want plays of this kind, and in meeting the demand the theatrical folks have gone much fur- ther back, in fact, to Biblical times. With the forthcoming Passion Play at &hitch and a sacred opera called \Christus\ by the late Anton Rubin- stein new being ptodueed at the Bre- men Opera house, the Europeans shouldnmve a surfeit of stage produc- tions of this kind. Rubinstein's opera, after it has run the gauntlet of the European capitals, will erobably be brought to this coun- try, but it is a question whether its production will be permitted. It will be a question of local option with the cities, and even, If it is eventually • staged here it will only be after most bitter fights with the opponents of plays of this k:nd. It will aLso be largely modified, as In its present shape It presents all of the leading events ot Christ's life upon earth, with the exception of the crucifixion. The play to be produced at Seizach goes more into details thnn Rubin - stein's opera. Two years ago the Pas- sion 'Play was given at Selzach. The sufeess achieved was very marked. as the best critics of &trope agreed that it far excelled the Oberamtner- gait production. The wealthy people of Seizach, after the suceeeses of 1M93, et once began the creation of a fund for the erection of a Passion Play theater. The construction of the build- ing is quite different from the ordin- ary playhouse, being designed to meet the peculiar demands of the plays to be produced. The stage is In the open air, where all the spectacular effects can be fully re- alized. The auditoritun, however. is covered and fashioned much after the plan of the ordinary theater. It will seat 1,200 people. 'Me parts designed for the orchestra and choruses are built after the plan of the Wagner theater of Bayreuth. They are beneath the stage surface, and entirely out of sight of the spectators. This arrangement intensifies the spectacular features of the production, the music, seeming to come up out of the ground. It will take six hours to produce the play, allowing for a half hour's inter- mission for luncheon. This necessitates the beginning of the performance at 11 n. m., and concluding at 5 p. m. Next Sunday the first presentation will be made, and the play will be enacted en every succeeding Sunday until Septem- ber. The only week day on which it will be given Is Thursday, Aug. 15, the Festival of the Assumption. Two hundred musicians, singers and actors take part in the perfermance. The mnsie is by the German composer, F. Mueller, and the play is divided into two parts, one occupying the morn- ing session, and the social I taking up the afternoon session. The scenes. of the merning session are largele taken from the Old Testa- ment, the first picturing the life of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Their flight from the garden is shown. The murder of Cain. Jacob's dream, Joseph in Egypt, the finding of Moses as a babe and the giving of the laws of Moses on Mount Sinai are all preeent- Pli With truthful allegiance to the It lb. heal descriptions. The birth of Christ Is beautifully pro - Sliced. When the Three Wise Men en- ter the hut a dnzzl ne redianee of light shows; the infant Christ, with Mary seated at the foot of the crib. Mend- ing by Is Joseph with folded hamie and with soft music rising front the sunken orchi'stra anil singers. The Chri•t. Three Wier , Men, ncrompinivil by the shepherds, kneel while the music increases in volume until It reaches grand hallelujah of ndorntion. This went , is one of Interim , grendeer and rhurce illgtiltiem who have witnessed It have had nothing but wells- to arty of I t The Journey of the Wee , Men to the birthplace of Christ Is given. also a vivid repreeentetion of the Holy Fam- ily. The sermon on the mount Is an other striking feature of the play. In - chiding as It does the feeding of the 6,000 people and the riming up to life of the youth at Nun. In the sermon scene the Savior le shown standing in the shade of a great tree as He preaches to the people His doctrines. There is a wonderful dra- matic art in this scene, as the crowds are slowly worked up to a wild pitch of enthusiasm for the Master and His teachings, and in ties spirit they lead Him to Jerusalem. There is a vast contrast between the first and second parts of the play. The former portrays all the glories and vic- tories of Christ, while the latter deals with Ills sorrows and death. Thu selling of Christ by Judas Is- cariot for thirty pieces of silver Is one of the fittest scenes in the second part of the play; also tho trial before Pilate. The march to Calvary is about the most dramatic of all the scenes. Christ, walking beneath the archways of Jeru- salem with the cross upon his shoul- ders, followed by the rabble of the city, forms a wonderful picture. Before long modifications of the Pas. Peter. sloe Play will be produced in England. which will be the first time that any- thing of the kind has been presented In an English-speaking country. It will be • form of tableaux vivants or living pictures, other features of the dramatic art being dispensed with. On this subject a recent number of London Black and White says that two oratorios, \The Passion\ and \St. Eliz- abeth and other works by Dechant peoyLb f —b?1 a seh hes heeee orary member of the St. Cecilia soci- ety, Rome, are about to be introduced In England. Of late over 120 towns in Germany have testified their admira- tion of the music and the illustrative tableaux. One of the latest represen- tations,of \The Passion\ was at Salz- burg, uhder the presidency of the arch- bishop, Dr. Katchthaler, and with the co-operation of the local choirs, and on that occasion the Marble hall of the Imperial palace, large as it is, proved Inadequate to meet the demands of the applicants for admission. Continuing, itrays: \It is held that the combina- tin of music and picture is free from aify of the objections raised to the fa- mous 'Passion Play.\St. Elizabeth' was recenly performed before the grand ducal court at Darmstadt with marked success.\ Supporters of the \Passion Play\ claim that it is a most desirable relig- ious agent, as it teaches the events of the Bible pictorially and in a vivid way that produces a listing impreesem umen the mind of the spectator. House N \House nerves\ is the latest name invented by medical experts for the peculiarly depressing set of ailments which afflict people who stay iudoors too much. Merely as house nerves the ailment can be regarded with some complacency; but for all that it is not a thing to be laughed at. All over Europe the rush for existence is play- ing havoc with sensitive cerebro-spinal tibres. People recognize all the symp toms which the inventors of \house nerves\ describe as quite common to- day. They are \low spirits and brood- ing,\ much Irritability and generally \morbid habit\ of mind. Women, especially women who are delicate and afraid to go out, owing to the weather, are those who suffer most from this malady. They have a way of imagining that something aw- ful is happening to their husbands or children %% hen they are out of their sight, they \eenjure up accidents, ana- lyze their feelings anti lose their pow- er of will.\ All this occurs because people are too sedentary, and stay at home too constantly. Unfortunately, a housewife, as her name implies, is one whose duty it is to stay at home for a considerable pert len of each day; and all the mischief orisee from her not being able to tear herself away front home ties and forget all about them in some form of out-of-door amusement or occupation. Fortunately, the disease Is not left without a remedy, and the preeerip- Bon for a person afflicted with \house nerves\ is a very agreeable one. There is no help to be got from medicine or doctors. All that has to be done is to pay visits to others, to take long walks In the open air and sunshine, and to go in generally for gayety find inno- cent anmsements..The patient is also reetentnentied to ''repress every mor- bid thought as it arises, or repel Why thinking of a necessary duty.\—Lon- don Telegraph — - Lightning Ntruelt the Razor.

HE LIKES TO BE CARICATURED AND ABUSED. — — Thinks That the • People Are Doing to Agree with Him home Day—Front Prhater'• Dena' to Senator—A Devout Christian. ERE is a portrait -of the moat thor- oughly abused man In the United States - -Senator William A. l'effer of Kansas. For years the car- toonists of the east have utilized his features as typical ,of the wild and woolly politicians of tthe west. He has been casicatured• more than any man on this continent, with the possible ex- ception of Blaine, Sherman and Cleve- land. Unlike most politicians he takes it all in good part. He honestly be- lieves that all the people will yet come to his way of thinking and that in the not distant future we will have govern- ment ownership of everything worth owning, to say nothing of bushels of money that will be issued in payment thereof. 'Like most of the populist lead- ers, Senator Peffer got his first start in life as a printer's devil. Printers' devils have a habit of reading the proofs which pass through their hands, and young Peffer was no exception to the rule. In this way he accumulated con- siderable knowledge. When he suc- ceeded to the proof-reader's desk he was able to read a market report back- wards. And it is said that he used to read that way. A facetious writer has remarked that that is how he got it into his head that the world was pro- gressing backward. Anyway, by the time he succeeded to the editorial chair he was firmly convinced that things were upside down generally, and he succeeded in making other people agree with him. He entered political life and In a remarkably short time found him- self elected to a seat in the United States senate. Today he is looked upon as the logical candidate for president by a large portion of his party. Aside from his political views, Sena- tor Peffer would attract general admir- tor Peffer would attract general admi- ration. He is a strict temperatIon ad - evil by Inches. He is a devout christian and believes that finally the reign of the christian spirit will dissolve the trou- bles of our times. His home is a happy one. While In New York the other day Mr. Peffer took occasion to tell a reporter some things about his party. He said: \It is a mistake to suppose that the populist party is decreasing In strength. We are gaining. We shall call a con- vention next year and put a ticket into the field. Our platform will be reform in finance, direct taxation, better re- turns to labor for ite toil and govern - SENATOR PEFFER. rnent ownership of railroads and other great public corporate interests. \As to the silver question, I don't be- lieve it will be the dominant issue next year. The agitation is already ceasing; that is. the camp -meeting part of the discussIonels over, and people are get- ting down to the thinking. The silver question Is one of continual interest; but, like every other public question. Interest in it flows and ebbs. Interest Is now on the ebb. I hardly think there will be a sliver ticket in the field. If there is it will be separate from the populist, unless It unites with 'as. \Business is better than it was. and crops promise large returns. We shall raise 200,000,000 bushels of corn in Kan - sea The acreage is larger than it was, although our proportion is not so great. The situation has been this: For several years the manufacturers vastly over- produced. It was necessary for them to get rid of this surplus product. so, gradually, they decreased their output, until the country was down to bedrock end the manufacturers had disposed of their old stocks. Then, of course. busi- ness began to revive, and will probably continue to grow better.\ Riding Astride. The \new woman\ is only copying eft- s,- the ancient darn , ' when she rides astride, as is now the faehion of the royal princesses and the leading eques- triennes of both England and Ameri- ca. Joan of Arc rpde astride at the head of the French army, and Queen Eliza- beth used to rile to falcon hunts in thin fashion behind Lord Leirester. It was only In the sixteenth century that the side saddle came into use In England. and women rode astride. In Germany until the clone of the eighteenth cen- tury. In molt foreign countries the fashion of riding on one side has never tesen adopted by women. A Rare chatter, Perhaps.

Pittsburg Priest Aims to Reform Drunk. ands and Gluttons. Rev. Father McKeever, of the Church of St. John the Baptist, is organizing a novel temperance society. It is non- sectarian and its members will be per- mitted the use of light beer and wines in moderation. Should the plans of the organization become popular the liquor business of this country will be entire- ly revolationized. While a total ab- stainer himself, Father McKeever be- lieves in temperance in all things. The work of his society will be educational. It is to go into homes and teach the science of living. What food in best suited to individuals according to the work they do, and how to prepare It, the amounts necessary for the preser- vation of health and strength will be taught them. For those who desire alcoholic stimulants the use of beer and light wines will be advocated. Whisky, brandy, gin, rum, Father McKeever relegates to the apothecaries, where they are to be secured as, medicine by prescription. The practice of treating will be discountenanced. Father Mc- Keever is arranging for a mass meet- ing at which his ideas will be ex - plainest. He is pastor of one of the largest Roman Catholic churches in this city. He also proposes to reform people who eat too much. Minister a Victim of Whitecap*. The Other night at 11 o'clock four whitecaps took the Rev. T. S. Rooks, the Baptist minister of Westmoreland, Kas., from his home in a hack, drove out in the country five miles with him and then tarred and feathered him. Itfioks Is lying at a farmer's house and he has been notified that he will be shot or hung If he returns to Westmoreland. He is accused of assaulting a girl. The citizens of Westmoreland are taking sides in the affair and there Is great excitement.

PARTY MEN AGHAST. LAWMAKERS GET NO SHOW NEW YORK. IN No More Liquor to Re Sold on Sunday— Theodore Roosevelt Ilia (mused the Liquor at. , . NIP Eild Or %, r I t • Determined Win. N lE REALM of American public affaits the most in - bracing topic of the pate few weeks has been the en- forcement of the laws against Sun- day liquor selling, by the police com- missioners of New York City. Theo- dore Roosevelt as president of the new police board has taken the astonishing ground that he will observe his oath of office and re- spect the laws. New York has never been so shocked and surprised In all Its 250 years of existence. The great politicians are aghast and are declaring that the party will be ruined. They protest that it was not for this that they helped to elect the reform ticket last November. Mr. Roosevelt's intrepidity seems even to have disconcerted Mayor Strong him- self a very little, but upon the whole the mayor evidently likes Mr. Roose- velt's logic and intends to support him to the end. It happens that Mr. Roose- elt's colleagues on the police board are In absolute harmony with their presi- dent and are as actively committed to the execution of the policy a.s talit Roosevelt himself. Col. Frederick Grant. who is one of the commissioners, has not forgotten that his illustrious father used to say that the best way to deal with an unpopular law is to enforce it. The pollee commissioners do not glve themselves much concern with the question whether the law is wise or mis- taken, They simply stand upon its er- forcement until the legislature chooses to alter it. Mr. Roosevelt is a veritable dynamo of earnestness, force, and physical and e mental energy. In build he is of the medium height, broad, very thick -set. solid, and muscular. Even through the large -lensed glasses he is obliged te wear when at work he looks boyish anti is constantly thus referred to in the press. That is because he is not only young, but his youth has been preserved by an active outdoor life rationally di- rected. He has a plump, almost round face, thick brown hair, the small light mustache of a younger man than he is, and snapping blue eyes. His phote- graphs make him look a trifle stern bE- cause they (all that I have seen) are taken with his glasses off and the strong light makes him half close his eyes, like a man influenced by a stern reso- lution or charaner. In reality, he is a kindly, genial, happy men, too full of animal spirits and too. fond of fun THEODORE ROOSEVELT. to be stern except on rare occasion. His mind works go quickly, and he is PIO quick in every Impulse, that he talks fast and seems to explod e his w o rds, which fly from him In short volleys, not In a loud tone, but with only half- rent rained energy. He is noted for his high bleels, but he is nevertheless ex- ceedingly practical. I asked him once what he expected to be or dreamed of being when he was a boy, and he said. \I do not recollect that I dreamed at all or planned at all I simply obeyed the injunction, 'whatever thy hand flndeth to do, that do with all thy might,' and so I took up what came along as it came. Since then I have gone on Lincoln', mote', 'Do the best; if not, then the beet possible.' \ Ile has never laid up anything to be carried out in future. Whatever has occurred to him to do that he has done at once with all his might and main, whether It was hunting bears, or writing books, u r climbing mountains. And In that way the whole coun'ry has seen him go at the task of reforming the New York po- lice.—Julian Ralph. Hapoleon'• indostry. Before the time when the campaign could open in the spring of 1800 all these parts were intended to be, and actually were, running smoothly; but they were running by the Inspiration and activity if a single man.

It Is puzzling to account for the dif- ferent status of the cigarette In Eng- land and the United States. Here it is very rare to find a man past middle smoking cigarettes, yet the statement is made on good authority that Herbert Spencer, who is sevepty-flve, smokes them. and It is noticeable in reading the personal gossip ot• London weekly papers that the same fault (from a cigar -smoker's pornt of view) is allege.1 against many men of promioenee in public life. When Emily Faithful died, the story of her fondness for cigarettes was repeated. and it shocked many American readers; but Miss Faithful was not unique among English ladle+ in this Indulgence. In the case of men. perhaps the Inferior quality of their slicers and the proximity of England to the' continent may account for the preference given the cigarette. Story of Tom Reed.
