AU Orders receive Prompt Attention, TheRurodeDryGoods Co. Fort Wayne, Indiana MR. AND MRS. NOAH BLAUSER, OF SHELDON NEARLY A HUNDRED PRESENT Sat at Tablea Beneath Trees Planted By Mr. Blauaer Fifty Years Ago Special to The Press.

sftELDON, Ang. 27 In the providence of God Mr. and Mrs. Noah of Allen county, are among the few who have been favored to see the fiftieth anniversary of their 'wedding. The event of the celebration took place at their home three and a half miles west of Sheldon, oa Tuesday of this week.

Many were the guests and some from a great distance, that assembled to congratulate the aged pair on their long and happy wedded life. Those from a distance were Mrs. M. Blauser, Mrs. Louis Thos.

Price and daughter, of Diller, Mr. Samuel Blauser, of Troy, Mr. and Mrs. John Blauser, and Solomon Blauser, of Baltimore, Ohio, Mr. Israel and son, of Bassil, Ohio, Mr.

and Mrs. E. Shook; of Lima; Ohio, Mrs. Jemima ferstnau, of Cincinnatti, Mr. and Mrs.

Wm. J. Nodine and two daughters, and Mrs. Phoebe Gravius, of Waterloo, Mr. and Mrs.

Plants and Mr. and Mrs. Craigs, of Miami county, Indiana. One long table was spread beneath the over reaching branches of the trees which Mr. Blauser planted in his yard fifty years ago.

Eighty five guests sat I 1V I (A i i 1 i MR. AND MRS. Time down to partake of the dinner which was provided in greatest abundance for the occasion. The suit and boots which Mr. Blauser wore for the wedding were placed on exhibition and called forth no little at tention, and a great many comments.

Rev. E. Slater, D. Mr. and Mrs.

Blauser's pastor, was present, and delivered a short address. Many gifts were presented and some of them were very valuable. It was a happy day for all who were present. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. The Lake Shore company took a very large company of base ball enthusiasts from Ft.

Wayne to South Bend Sunday and a large number joined the crowd at this station. The school board has improved the school park by building a cement walk diagonally from the VanVleck street sidewalk to the door of the school build' ing, thus removing any necessity for the pupils to track mud into the build ing. The great haste of the present generation gives no time for making square turns," hence, the "cut off across the corner." There is an open culvert on the An gola road, south of the Catholic church in Smithfield township, that should be repaired with a new cement culvert without further delay. It has been open for several and although a passage way has been built at the side of the road, it would not be prac tical if a heavy rain should fill the (litch, besides the situation of the one: bridge in the road is such that an auto in the dark could easily plunge into it and cause great damage or loss of lives, We do not know the cause of delay in having this place repaired, and only suggest that the public regards it un safe and realize that it might a less expense to repair it than to take chances of a damage suit. NOAH BLAUSER THE WiiTZntwD VZZZZl TTf 1910 HE USElfll'S FAMILY HELD ANNUAL REUNION LAST THURSDAY PRESIDENT J.

A HUSSELMAN Wi)l Arrange for Next Year's Reun ion An Excellent Program was Carried Out The sixth annual reunion of the Hua seiman ramily was held in the nenry Husselman grove a mile and a half south of Waterloo, just east of the Ft. Wayne branch of the Lake Shore road, August 25, 1910. The weather was very forbidding for an out of door meeting and the threatening rain in this vicinity which proved to be a hard shower in a portion of the territory covered by the Husselman fam ily, served to prevent many from start ing out in the morning and the strong continuous wind from the south West all day interfered seriously in carrying out; the program as published in this papier last week. The attendance however reached fully one hundred and fifty persons, old and youhg. The president, Mr.

L. D. Hus selrnan, called the people to order at 11 o'clock and the Campbell orchestra of Auburn rendered a few fine selections, The president appointed a committee on selection of officers and then on ac count of the threatening weather he ad vised an adjournment for dinner. The tables prepared were spread under dif ficulties from the strong wind blowing. but, the amount of provisions that came from well filled baskets, soon weighted down the table linnen and every body was called upon to smhlfl at tha comissary department.

There was no evidence of the high cost of living as I the quantity of fried chicken, cakes, pies, honey and sauce with many other things would tempt the most treacher ous appetite to oyer eat and there were many baskets full of good things taken up after all had been filled. The company again assembled at ,10 o'clock at the call of the orchestra' and after a song the committee reported the following officers: President, J. A. JAMES A. HUSSELMAN, President' Husselman Vice.

A. W. Hussel man: Secretary, Miss Mabel Hussel man; Treasurer, W. A. Husselman.

Rev. P. Luis Browns, of the Evan gelical church, led in the invocation. Mrs. Wes Husselman led the singing and also sang a solo as did Mrs.

M. A. Miser, both fit whom were severely handicapped in trying to make their voices heard against the elements. It was a severe task and they did more than could be expected under the cir cumstances. In the absence of.

Miss Husselman who was to have delivered the welcome address, Mr. J. A. Husselman was drafted and made a very creditable speech, in which he made every one feel at home and assured them that they were truly welcome. The "audience under the leadership of Mrs.

Wes Husselman sang, The King's Business." Owing to the fact that the platform was on the side against which the wind blew so severely, Frank W. Willis, who was Invited to make the principal address chose to speak from the opposite side of the audience as seated, which enabled him to be heard, but owing to the unfavor able conditions he made his remarks short and touched only upon the im portance of honesty and integrity in the home and the value of family asso ciations in', perpetuating principles of righteousness in all transactions in life. Several young ladies recited very cred itably but the program was cut short by the on coming storm which scattered the happyj company with great dispatch and many were caught in the rain be fore reaching their homes. This is the first year the family has met with disappointment, on account of unfavorable conditions of the weather but the reunion was not a failure by any means. Mr.

Sam 6, Husselman, who came from Richmond, is stopping with his brother George at Auburn, who is very ill with no hope of permanent recovery, was brought oyer to the meet iig in an auto. He is disabled on account of a recent stroke of paralysis and unable to locomote. It causes sadness to observe a man who enjoyed, not long since a powerful physique, now thus disabled and prevented from following his wonted activities.

the center, in which are shown the tableaux, the stage itself is uncovered. The sky alone is its canopy, whjle sloping mountains beyond form the back i. The auditorium comfortably seats 4,000 people. There is no crowding and every spectator has a numbered seat, Although the stage Is 1 open; to the weather, the performance goes on un lnteruptedly. The seats slope up so steeply that a good view is obtained from every part of the structure.

There are fourteen doors in all, so the theater can be emptied In a few min utes. The play begins at eight o'clock, continues to 11:45, when two' hours are taken for lunch, and then continues for four hours more. The performers of the Passion Play are all natives of who have, with few exceptions, passed their entire lives in' the village. There is a general tendency for the same part to be played by the same performeryeven though ten years have elapBed since the last presentation. The' veteran player this year is Johann Zwink, who plays Judas for the third time.

The part of Mary the mother of Jesus is always taken by a young girl and is never acted twice by the same person. The same Is true of Mary. Magdalene. There" are no married women in the play. There are the two leading women characters In the play.

These1 are the two leading women characters, the others having little to say, but upon these two women largely depends the success of the play. The only important man part this year, wmcn is being tuled by an actor without experience of the Passion Play, Pia Alfred Bierling, a handsome youth om7 mneieen years out. as in ww, A ntAn ia talHnor tVio ni irtSril mfa of ChrisLV Manv Dredic that John of this year will be the Christ of 1920. There are in all 685 persons engaged in the performance and actually come on the' stage. Ot these 50 are women and 200 children.

There are 125 speak ing parts. While many of your readers may know of the vow made by the Ammergauers that lead to the institution of the Pas sion Play, I will briefly describe its origin. One of the remote after consequences 01 that wide wasting thirty years' war was a great pestilence that broke out in the' villages surrounding Oberammer gau, whose families were swept off. In one' vill age only two married, couples were spared. While village after vil lag fell prey to its ravages, the people in Oberammergau remained untouched ana eniorcea a vigorous Quarantine against the outside world.

The blind insnncuye prompungs oi tne human nean, um person oi vasper JXmucnier nowever, Droke tnrougn tna necessary sanitary regulations. This man, who was working in one of the near by striken villages, felt an uncontrblable desire to return to bis wife and children, who were living in Oberammergau. All that the historical record says on this point is that he in some way succeeded in evading the quarantine and returned to his family. A terrible retribution followed, for in two days he was dead. and the plague, which he had brought with him, spread with such fatal issue from house to house that in less than five weeks nearly one hundred of the villagers had perished.

At this moment the people assembled in despair to dis cuss their desperate plight. It was as men looking into the hollow eye sockets of death that the Ammergauers cried aloud to God." remembered their sins. that day, and hi token" of their penitence and as a sign of their grati tude for their deliverence if they were aeirverea tney would every ten years perform the Passion Play and then. says the local chronicler, from that hour the plague was stayed. Those who were already smitten of the plague recovered nor did any others fall victims to the pestilence.

Thus it was that Pas sion Play became a fixed Institution in this little Bavarian Tillage, and has been performed with a few exceptions due to wars, ever since. While Casper Schuchler was the cause of fhe institution of the (t is due chiefly to the good parish priest, Dris i enrjerger, tnat tne ruae mystery or miracle play of the Middle Ages was transformed Into this touching and tragic drama, the greatest drama in history. A born dramatist and a pious Christian, he stripped it of all that was ignoble or farcial, and produced a wonderfully faithful dramatic rendering of the Gospel story. The good priest, Daisenberger, has left on record that he "undertook the production of the play for the love of my Divine Redeemer, and with only one object In view, the edification of the Christian world." In order to attain this end he deemed it necessary to follow the scriptural method. Instead of simply setting forth the Gospel story as it stands in the New Testament, he' took as his fundamental idea the connection of the Passion, incident by incident, with the types, figures, and prophecies of the Old Testament.

The whole of the Old Testament is thus made, as it were, the massive pedestal for the Cross, and the course of the narrative.of the Passion' is perpetually interrupted or illustrated by scenes from the older Bible, which are supposed to prefigure the next event to be represented on the stage. In order to explain the meaning of the typical tab leaux and to prepare the audience for the Bcene which they are about to witness, resource is had to an ingenious arrangement, whereby the interludes between each scene are. filled up with singing in parts and in chorus by a choir. 1 The speaker of the prologues first recites some verses clearly and impressively, then the choir burst out into song, accompanied by an orchestra concealed from view in front of the stage. The curtain then divides, one half rising and the other half descending, during which they sing.

As the curtain rises the forty one members of the choir fall back, so as to reveal the tableaux, and at the close of the tableaux, about ninety seconds, they resume their old places and the singing proceeds. Then when they come to the end half file off to the right, half to the left, and the play proper oegms. ine music la very simple but extremely impressive." The chorus occupies the stage for fully half the eight hours devoted to iha play. Their dress is very effective, and with the sqn shining full upon, them presents an unparalled scene. Twice, however.

the brilliant robes are exchanged for black ones immediately before and im mediately after the crucifixion. The bright robes are resumed at the close, when the play, ends with a burst of hallelujahs and of jubilant triumphover the Ascension of our Lord. (Continued next week.)
