The Passion Play at Oberammergau- This wonderful play, which comineraorates the life of our Saviour, is one of the most sacred religious observances to the simple people in the little dorf of Oberammergau. In the year 1833 the town aud rounding country of Überammergau was devastated by the plague. The heartstricken inhabitants met together and vowed to God that if He would remove the scourge they would every ten years perform the Passion Play wiUi the best skill and deepest devotion in their power. The plaque was stayed and from that time to the present every ten years this promise has been sacredly kept. There will be given a lecture with stereopticon views on this Passion Play, in University Hall, on Saturday evenipg April 4th, by Rev. J. J. Lewis. In 1890, the last time the play was given, Rev. Mr. Lewis, in company with many others, attended its presentation, and obtained views of its many scènes and tableaux, besides likenesses of those whotook the leading parts. His lecture is explanatory of the country, its people, their homes and lives, and the leading features of the play itself. Tickets at 25 cents eanh at Sheehan's and Wahr's.

He is welcomed to the circle of newspaper men of the city. Some Oood Guessea - The Dexter Leader of this week will say : "Concerning our intimation two weeks ago, that a Dexter man would probably be a candidate for a county office this f all, the Ann Arbor Courier evidently guessed the individual the first time, judging from its commendatory editorial, though mentioning no ñames, but the Washtenaw Times speaks " right out in meetin'," and in its Monday edition connects the name of H. WirtNewkirk of this place with the nomination for Judge of Probate. "JBoys, you are good guessers, as Mr. Newkirk is the man we had in mind, and from what we have heard from various parts of the county, as the spontaneous expression of his many friends, he will receive a hearty support when the time comes. " He is, beyond a doubt, the right man for the place, and no better choice could be made." The Courier pleads guilty, and acknowledges that its remarks were intended for the gentleman named above, and who it believes to be not only duly and truly prepared for the position, but worthy and well qualified. Skule Entertainment - On Friday evening of this week the Deestrick Skule will give their last day exercises at the red school house on State street in the vcaant lot between Washington and Huron streets.

A Pleasant Memory is His- Many in Ann Arbor will remember Bert Ricfo, the Stalwart first basemían oí t-he famouB U. ol SI. bal] team which defeated Harvard and ofher strong college nines in 189091. He was Wudi a sure catcher, thrower amd batter that he was one of the best men ever in Michigan' club. Xo-t only was he strong in athleties bu also in the recitation room where he was a good student. He studied too hard, so that his health was impalred. However, after graduation he ntered upon law studies besides a large amount of teaching and tutoring, until he was admitted to the bar. Being threatened with consumption he went to Colorado, New Mexico, and California, but not getting relief he decided to ship before the mast on a ailing vessel boumd from San Diego to England on a five monttia voyage. The next word his párente recelved from fcim was by letter from the captain of the vessel in Bngland, saying that their eon had been killed on the trip. "White Off the Brazil coast the crew were isihifting sails, and Bert was aloft. His cap blew off and in reatíhing for it lost his hold, falling a hundred feet to the deck and being instantly killed. He was buried at sea. Albert Dykeman Rich was 28 years old and unmarried. He was one of the eight soms of Arthur D. Rich, an early gradúate of the University, now living in Chicago. Bert was a thoroughly manly character, greatly beloved by his associates, big hearted, generous and brave. His untimely end wlll ibe mourned by many. Yet many will íeel tihat perhaps if consmnption had fastemed itself upon him even a sudden taking away like that is preferable to a hopeless llngering lllness. He leaves only pleasant helpful recollections with all hto relativos and friend.
