HI II PARMELE LAST EVENING
Speaks on "The Passion Play" for the Benefit of St. Mary's Guild
Lecture One of the Best Ever Heard in the City.
Frm Tuesday's Dully.
A large audience greeted the
St. Mary'a (iuild at llifir ex
trcises at (he Parmele last even
ing. The address of Mr. M. Gor
ing on the "Passion Play" was
preceded by two solos by popular
Plaltsmouth singers. Mr. IF. S.
Austin sang a bass solo and Miss
Lucile Hates delighted the audi
ence with her rendition of a pop
ular selection. Doth 8i'ngerAvere
"fehlhusiastically applauded and
the audience hoped for a second
number from each, but were not
80 gratified. The singers were ac
companied by Miss Kiltie Cum-
mins, who is a superb aecom-j
panist, and never makes the mis-
take that some players do, in for
getting that it is an accompany
inent, the piano was always sub
dordinato lo the vocalist.
At Hie close of the vocal num
bers Mr. (iering came on the
stage unattended by the presiding
officer and unannounced. He in
vited the audience in Hie rear of
the room tu take what vacant
seals were in Hie parquet, as he
could better make them under
stand his address by having his
audience near to him, as be ex
pected lo use Hie conversational
tone in delivering his lecture,
Mr. (Iering entered at once into
bis theme, and at limes during his
discourse Hie stillness in the
large theater was most apparent,
the speaker's matchless oratory,
bis splendid voice and elegant
gestures never were shown lo bet
ter advantage than in his descrip
tion of the "Passion Play" last
evening. So intensely did his
auditors listen thai during the
whole of the splendid lecture
hardly anyone shifted in their
eeat, and no sound was heard ex
cept the eloquent intonation of
the words of the lecturer.
The lecture was begun by a
quotation from Shakespeare, the
immortal bard of Avon: "The
play is (lie thing wherewith we
Will catch Hie concience of the
king." And Mr. doling staled
that he quoted these lines lo show
his idea of Hie importance of (lie
drama, and its use i;i uplifting
and helterim; humanity. Long
before Shakespeare's lime Hie
play actor was looked upon as a
vagabond, and for centuries Ibis
was Hie allilude of society toward
the play actor.
Mr. (iering then spoke of Hie
liavat'iaus, the people who had
for some centuries, at periods of
ten years, produced this wonder
ful passion play. lie spoke of
the poetic temperament of the
native ltavarians, inhabitants of
tbo city of Ohcrammcrgati, where
Hie play is euaeled. Mr. (iering
was born in Havana, at Kcmplon,
a town about thirty miles from
Oberamuiergau. On his journey
from Herlin lo Hie scene of Hie
play Mr. (iering slopped at Rolh
enburg, a city of about KH.000
people, and described by Mr. Tier
ing as one of the quantest old
places iu all Furope. The wall
about this city was built more
than 000 years ago, and the
speaker walked about the city and
on its walls and learned of its
quaint legands from the residents
of the city. From these be learn
ed Hie important events in the
history of the city.
The town of Oberam morgan has '
a population of about 1,200 peo
ple and its citizens were ordinary
citizens, plying their different
trades. The city had ils legarul.
also, and the play, which has been
enacted each decade for the past
300 years,' was written in con
formity with a vow to (iod, made
in gratitude for the averting of a
lerrible calamity which was
sweeping the people of the valley
to death in a rapid manner. The
people of Ihe community are
Catholic and the play was written
by a monk three cenluries ago,
and the vow was that if the plague
should be averted the passion of
the Lord would be enacted each
fen years so long as Ihe world
should stand. For centuries Ibis
has been done, and until recent
times Ihe outside world has taken
lillle note of Ihe play or Hie play
ers. The, great audiences which
greet Ihe presentation of the play
each decade are largely made up
of tourists, although many come
from the surrounding cities.
The play consists of seventeen
ncls and twenty-four tableux, re
quiring 000 people to present, it.
The seating capacity of the
auditorium is 4,200. The cos
tumes for all of the players were
designed by Anion Lang, Ihe man
who plays the Christ. The
lableauxs were also planned by
him.
Mr. (iering then described Ihe
players and Ihe manner of their
selection for Ihe different parts.
Anion Lang, being an exact
counterpart of Hie great paintings
representing Ihe Savior, having
long brown hair, blue eyes ami a
face Ihe very semblance of ten
derness. Mary Mngdelene and
Mary, Hie mother of Christ, John
his cousin, and Judas were de
scribed minutely, Mr. (iering hav
ing become acquainted with each,
and walked ami talked with Ihern.
He then described the Last
Supper and Judas at Ihe I able,
and the manner in which Lung
girded himself to become the
servant of the desciplcs. The
scone in Ihe garden where the
Lord prayed I hut. the cup might
pass from him if it wen possible,
the trial before the high priest,
and the crucifixion were all de
' scribed vividly as Ihe speaker up-
pearod lo see them before him.
The great play ended with Ihe
ascension, ami Hie large audienco
was thrilled with the word paint
ing ami masterly oratory of Mr,
(iering for more Hum I wo hours,
and it was Ihe expressed opinion
of numerous persons who heard
Ihe address I hat it was one of Ihe
finest lectures ever delivered in
the Parmele (healer.

Down Hill.
A strong, healthy man, in his
desire- fo thoroughly enjoy life,
oflen goes too far, till he is com
pelled lo slop. He did not mind
the warning nature gave him from
time to time, the indisposition af
ter a joyful evening, the loss of
appelile, which he tried to over
come by slrong drinks and spicy
food, Hie headaches and other
irregularities. He did not notice
that he is going "down hill." If
he has a mind strong enough to
slop, he may regain his strength,
ho may save himself. We wish to
impress upon everybody lo take
good care of himself as soon as a
slight loss of appelile appears or
a decline of his usual strength
and energy. He should at once
use Triner's American Klixir of
Hilter Wine, which will regulate
the digestion, purify the blood,
strengthen the nerves and cure
constipation. At drug stores.

streams in that vicinity out of
the hanks. Iu some places it
washed out. trees I hat. had been
there for years and carried con
siderable debris down the streams
mixed with fences, outhouses and
other things. He says Ihat some
of Ihe people in that particular
section reported that over four
teen inehes of water fell, as shown
by vessels which were left nut of
doors over night. The water
spout was confined 0 only one or
two sections and wrought great
havoc, over the territory where it
