Special to THE Ben ] "La Passion1 n
mystic i > oem in six parts by Edmond Haran-
court , was road at the Cirque d'Hiver tonight
oy Sarah Bernhurdt , Philllppo Gardier and
Bremont Lnmourcnux. Tlio oichestra exe
cuted qotactlons from Beethoven and AA'apner
Tlie prdnde to "Parsifal , " the motive of
wh.ch is from the scene symbolizing the
S aior' s ut terance ,
"Eat this bread , It 1 * ray flesh ,
DrlnLtIilsnitio.lt Is my blood , "
was enthusiastically npplande . It was Just
before this prelude that Mme. Bernhardt ,
rol > ed in white flowing brocade , looking ex-
nrtlj like one of Albert Durer's pointings of
the A'irgin Mary , entered the salle. She was
followed by Gardie-r and Bremont , attired in
cnlng dress , to Interpret the roles of Christ
and Judas IwarioL
The enormous auditorium of the Cirque
d Hirer xvns crowded to its utmost capacity
rnd about four thousand persons must have
been present.
The poem is a sort of mystic representation
of Eoce Homo , the x-irgin , a woman who in nil
he-r matciial instincts , und love for her son
arc in conflict with religious awe andde.\o-
ticn to the vice regent of God. Sarah Bern
hardt read the lines exhorting Christ to fly
ur.d save himself from torture nnd crucifixion
w ith an impassioned yet subducjd force that
caused profound emotion The audience ap-
piedatcd this w'ith shouts of "Bi-a\o'
Bravo' ' and round after round of applause
burst foith
When Gardier read the lines of Christ as
he drove the publicans out of the temple nnd
Bremont pronunced the mocking lelorts of
Cnlphos , the high pnest , some youngsters in
the1 gallerv made a scandalous demonstration
in favoi of the pnnciples adduced bj the pub
licans nnd two or three butcher bojs yelled
Hurrah for the publicans , they are better
than our bookmakers at Long Champ "
AsGaidier pronounocd the words of the
Savior , colling the children to him mid ex-
hoi ting to chant j und repentance , two or
thiese x oices shouted : "Asscz do Christ1 As-
beado Cliiist' "
The audience rose to its feet with excite
ment ntid cheered nnd applauded the actors
Men in the premic'ie seats of the parquet , the
fashionable jwrti on of the house , shook their
fists nt the butcher bojs nnd the men who
had interrupted the iierfoimanco and de
manded that the police should put them out
lif the house.
"A In portc , a la porte , " resounded on all
sides , and the caccltcine-nt was tremendous
Gardier w 1th difficulty made himself heard
ns ho shrieked out :
"Ladies and gentlemen , do you wish the
reading of this poem.to continue or not , and if
not wo w ill witdraw "
"Oul , oul , oul , coutlnncr , " was hcaidfrom
all part § of the sallc , mingled with a few
bbouts of ' 'no "
Mme Beruhardt tremhle-d with emotion and
pressed n dainty lace handkerchief to
her exes and wept. Theio was perfect
pandemomnm Xothmg could be heard un
til Harauc'ourt , the author , bounded down to
the platfoun where the actors wcie seated
and shook them all warmly by the hand and ,
fn < iag the tempestuous audience. , shouted.
The actors will pause a few moments to
enable those persons who are dii-contentcd to
iiurc "
Haiancourt was cheered loudly with
bhouts of "Brnvo.Haranc.ouit , bravo , bravo "
Then , by the aid of the police , some thirty
oi fortj of the discontented , most of them
hutchci bojs oat foi u laik on Good Friday ,
the one day of the year when
the butcher shops are closexl , left. This
Inelv , agitating scene had now lasted half an
hour Surah Bemhiirdt and her fellow-nc-
lois were pale and nervous , but the audience ,
with the stonnj element now eliminated ,
shouted "Contiuucz "
Then the reading commenced again nnd
w us appluudod Haroneourt's versification is
exceaient. It Is resonant and thoroughl. % dra
matic The scone l etween Judas and the
Phuiise-e who bribes him is very strong
That betieeu the Savior and the A'irgin Just
before the crucifixion is very dramatic , and

and intoxication made against Captain Healy ,
commandei of the revcnui steamer Bear , was
received at the treasury department toda %
and ttferred to CaptuUi Shepherd , chief of
the revenue marine division , for review The
committee finds the conduct of Captain Hcaly
in pumshuic the three seamen fi-om the bark
Estrella justifiable under the circumstances
In i'c parJ to the tru mp up of several of the
ciew of the bark ' \Yanderer the committee
reports that tin. evidence showed the men

The committee finds the charge of drunken

testimony shows that Cuptaln Healy had been

officer in the distharga of his diffii-ult and
jKinlous duties in the Arctic , that he was

Although the bouse committe-e on judiciary
has nprec-d by an almost unanimous vote upon
nu amendment to the constitution providing
for the election of United States senators by
direct \oteof the jKHijile , it is said that the
senate committee on judiciary is solidly
against it. General Van AVj ck of Xebraska ,
Senator Mite he-11 of Oregon and other dis
tinguished citizens hne for years been agi
tating this proposition in the senate , but they
ha % c invanhbly met with no encouragement
The senators prefer to trust thdr fortunes
with the legislatures rather than the voters
themseh es.
CIVIL " -EKVICE nrOISTEKS.
I \ isited the headquarters of the civil ser-
\ ice eemmission todnj and examined their
repstei-s showing the eligible lists for all
branches of the departmental service. There
is no record kept here of the e-liribles to local
offices , such ns postofHce clerks , custom
house clerks and nil others outside of the de
partment seniee. hut such lists are open for
examination at the respeethe offices through
out the countrj 1 \\as surpiis-c-d as
well us pleased at the readiness
with which all the records of
the commission were placed at my
disjiosal and the facilities offered for thrir
projier examination Mr liosevelt. the chair
man of the commission , thinks that nwst of
the cnticism directe-d iipnmst civil sen'icc re
form spnngs from ipnonince of the workines
of the la\\ and not from the system itself
He explained fully the provisions of the law
and the sjstem adopted for its exercise
Each state is alloU-d a certain quota , the
numbci being ascertained by jicixentape of
the population AVh ( n this quota is filled no
one , no matter ho\\ high his rank mar be , can
l > e appointed uiitu a vac am j from that state
occurs There are examinations for clerks
for sjK-cial jiositions w here a certain line of
infonnution is required , such as special ex
aminers m the jieiiMon ofiice special ngcuts
of the postofflce depuitment , e'tc . which are
opc-n to all. ire mattei where his place of resi
dence maj be , and the certifications fiom this
class are made according to rank w ithout any
regard to location. Thus it often happens , as
is partic-ulailj the e-asc in Illinois and In-
di.ina , that the quota allowed a state is filled
almost entirely bj appointments to special
cleil.shipswhile ven few regular clerical
l > ositions jail to its citizens Heretofore
this list of cligiblcs has been held a profound
secret and no one bus been able to ascertain
who applied for appointment unde-r the civil
fcniec" commission , who jiassed successfully
the examinations 01 w ho w cr eligible to np-
