OBITUARY. . John T, Fanning. ‘Word was received here on Wednes- day by Dr. Lester E. Walker of the death of John T. Fanning, a native of this city, at Minneapolis. . Mr. Fanning was & civil engineer of national repute, who had not lived here:in about forty years, but who was the engineer when Fairview reservoir was built and when Preston bridge was constructed, while many other important jobs were plan- ned and constructed under his direc- tion. He was well known by the older residents of the city and had frequent- ly visited here since moving away. He married Miss Louise Beusley of this city, who was a school teacher on the West Side, by whom he is survived. His wife i® a niece of Mrs. James ‘Walker of this city, and their wedding took place at the home of Mrs. and the late Captain Walker. He was the last of his immediate family. A Minneapolis pa; of Feb. 6 has thet;‘ollowlnw regarding Mr. Fanning’s death: John T. Fanning, one of the best known civil engineers in the country, died early this morning in his apart- ment in the Waverly hotel. He was 74 Yyears old. Mr. Fanning was born in Norwich, Conn., Dec. 31, 1837. He began his education in the public®schools there and later studied darchitecture and en- gineering. At the outbreak of the civil war in 1361 he emlisted in the Third regiment, Connecticut volunteers, and derved the full four years. After the close of the war he was commissioned 2 lieutenant colonel of the Connecticut National Guard. He opened an office in Norwich-and from that time until he came to Minneapolis was engaged in planning public and private buildings, mills, bridges end ‘vater supply sys- tems throughout the United States. In 1872 he moved his office to Man- chester, N, H., to supervise the in- stallation of the public water supply system. He also designed several of the prineipal bufldings of that city. ‘While a resident there he was a mem- ber of the board of education and chairman of the high schoool commit- tee. About 1885 he received a commission to report on improvements in the sys- tem of the St Anthony Falls Water Power company, and one year later moved his office to Minneapolis. From this point He had supervised many large _engineering enterprises in the west. He was for many years consult- ing engineer of the Great Northern Toad. He leaves a family in Minneapolis. Mrs. Beriah S. Rathbun. Mrs. Beriah S. Rathbun passed away at her home, No. 8 Church street, at 2.15 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, fol- lowing & brief illness. She was about 80 years old and death was due to a general breaking down. She was the third wife of Mr. Rathbun and has spent a large part of her life in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Rathbun were prominent members of the Central Baptist church, the former being one of its organizers. Besides her husband Mrs. Rathbun leaves two nieces, ‘both of, this city. aterbury.—Supt. Berlin W. Tinker of this city and Supt.

Its whltamhed stone houses, with green shutters and red tiled #0ofs,. are stretched - at every angle along both of the little #lver Ammer, and with their tiny gardens, vine-clad walls and sometimes frescoed fronts, make a very picturesque appearamnce. These villagers , are miscalled -pens~ ants. Mnny are indeed farmers and especially dafrymien, and the tinkling bells of their seven hundred cows going forth and back to the pastures on the “hillsides pleasantly mark the morning and the evening ' ‘hours. Many work at the ordinary trades, but the chief industry of the village is the carving in wdod or ivory of crucifixes, statuettes of Christ, the Virgin Mary, or the Biblical charac- ters which so plentifully bedeck the churches of Europe. Anton Lang, the | Christus of the play, is an excellent’ worker in clay.and produces pottery of beautiful form and rich coloring.. Thes2 people are devout and pious by nature, but I believe their religious character has been developed by the influence of the play. The ideal of every boy and every girl, yes, of every man and woman, too, in Oberammergau is to ‘sometim? be considered worthy to take a leading part in the Passion Play, and, knowing that, good conduct, right living and high ‘character are well-nigh universal here. There is no constable, no lawyer, no. lockup, - in Oberammergau. Every person (except marrfed woldlen) in the village must take part if required, and any part re- quired, and altogether about eight or nine hundred are made use of in the presentation, all native born Oberam- mergauers, for no outsider is allowed in any capacity. The chief characters, such as Christ, Mary, Mary Magdulene John, Peter, Pilate, Judas and others, about sixty in all, are .chosen hzt spghfly appointed committee with the test care after prolonged delibera- uest ; there . ‘the even- personal qualitles count fully as much as ap- pearance -or histrionic ability. The Christus must have Christ as his ideal in his daily llving. Mary must have tender, womanly qualities. Judas, even, must have a devout Christian’s horror of his simulated infamy to adaquately portray the part. Broad Open Stage. The play is given upon a broad open stage fronting a partly enclosed auditorium seating over four thou- sand people. At the right of the stage is the house of the High Priest, with an arched portico across it front, at the left a !imlla.r building is the house of Pilate. In the center is a temple- like structure upon each side of which streets lead away, the open spaces are filled with shrubs and palm trees, and in the background tower the trees of the village. The temrple front has a movable curtain. behind which the tableaux’ are arranged whilc the déra- wreground, and it is a remarkable evicerc: of the instinctive perception of dramatic effect which these villagers possess that the four or five hundred persons, including one hundred and fifty children, who appear in some of these tableaux, glide into their proper places and assume the most artistically effective postures withdut any confusion or noise what- soever. Given Every Ten Years. ‘The Passion "Play has been per- formed at Oberammergau every ten years for two and a half centuries, tery or religious plays . which were common n:mughoux: Burope dmill ‘the Mlddd{e Ages. ers are dxh ‘acts and twenty-two" tableaux. leaux are taken from the Old Tfl ment and are of scenes typical or sug- ‘Bestive of tncld‘enb in m:Elfl'l’lt’ 1ite. appgar - between' acts and tomshndgv; their various actions. /'The Acts themselves present incidents in the life of Christ from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem to his ascensio and most of these dramatic acts tableaux also are preceded by the ap-= pearance of a chorus richly costumed in white tunics, golden ‘crowns and flowing robes of the Ttichest Strétching across the whole stage front, they sing, or the prologist re- cites, @ description or paraphrase ‘of the act or fableaux to follow. This chorus appears more than a score of times and the mental effort required to sing and learn the immense number of verses and recitations which they give forth during the eight hours of the play shows them to be far above the peasant class. The play opens with- a tableaux of the Expulsion from Paradise, a beau- tiful and realistic scene, whesein Adam appears with his face covered and Eve goes reluctantly, casting a longing look: backward. Another tableau follows, represent- ing the adoration of the cross by children and groups of angels. Then follow the sixteen acts, .which Mr. Palmer described at length in.a most interesting* and impressive manner, z:;'lldly portraying the important de- s. Scene of the Last Supper. The scene of the Last Supper had for me, said Mr. Palmer, the deeper spirit- ual import. In it Christ js more the Divinity, less the man. His aspect is majestic, His action symbolical, words tinged with mystery. Following the crucifixion the climax is reached; the following acts, which represent the Resurrection and Ascension, though beautiful, add lttle jto the whole im- pression. The overtrained mind and the full heart can receive no more, and as the curtain falls before €hrist slowly ascending into groups of angels the spectators in solemn silence go their several ways. . What makes the Passion Play as given at Oberammergau perhaps the greatest dramatic repressntation that the world has ever seen? It certain- ly is not the stage accessories, the costumes, the music, the text or the multitudes which crowd the stage. All of these might be seen elsewhere. Nor is it the subject, great and impressive as it is, for the greater the subject the greater the faflure if improperly handled. The secret lies in the mental attitude of the players; the epirit of the subject is their spirit. To them the play is not a spectacle but & re- liglous exercise. Modest, simple. folk, receiving mere pittances for their ser- vices, the play is their ideal, and they feel it their misgion to teach its lessons with all their heart, their mind and their strength. They go to special de- votional service before each represent- Stion: The evangelical spirit shines forth in all their actions, emphasizes all their words, pervades in fact: the whole play. They preach the most ef- fective sermon heard in our time. Mrs. Palmer’s Singing Pleased. A very. delightful feature , of the evening was the singing by Mrs. George S. Palmer of several solos dur- ing the lecture. All were given in a charming manner, with excellent ex- ression. Mrs. Palmer's vgice, rich, 'ull and brilliant, was heard at its best. It was a rare treat and fully appre- ciated by the large number of music lovers. ~Mrs. Palmer possesses a full and sweeet soprano voice with a mez- zo tint, and the five numbers brought out its beauty annd range. The num- bers on: the programme were: The Cross, Harrlet Ware; Jerusalem, Thou that Killest, " Mendelssohr’s St. Paul; My Redeemer and My Lord, Dudl Buck. T Xnow that My Redeemer Liv- eth, Handel’s Messiah. In addition as the fifth number she sang Gounod’s ‘There is a Green Hill Far Away in a most admirable manner. F.' W. Lester played her accompani- ments. Phe stage was prettily decorated with palms and ferns. ———— INSTALLATION OF THAMES COUNCIL OFFICERS Wm. T. Curry Takes Regent's.

Plans for Steamship Terminal There, With Steamer Connections for New London. ‘With the purchase by the Long Isl- and railroad of one and a half miles of water front, comyprising 160 acres of land ' @t.Fort Pond . Bay, Montauk Point, L: 1, announcement was made Tuesday that the bullding of a sea- port calculated to accommodate the biggest of ships is about to begin, says a New York despatch. The plans for the mammoth trans- atlantic sSteamship terminal involve the Pennsylvania raiiroad, the Inter- national Mercantile and Marine com- pany and one of the biggest dry dock concerns in England. The expenditure before the first ship is ‘docked will be $5,000,000, it is estimated. Preliminary plans call for four piers, each to be 1,000 feet in length and 125 feet in width. space of 300 feet between each pier, while a double track railroad designed to carry passengers and freight traffic will be operated along the middle, of each pier. To .great passenger stations con- nected by an inclosed concourse are planned as entrances to the pier in connection with spacious buildings for handling luggage by custom officials. On the land side double deck yards are planned for the rapid hanyng of freight. Omne of the gigantic tasks in connec: tion with the duilding of the new sea-. port will be a dry dock which will accommodate a ship of greater size than any now in course of construction. The officials of . the railroad refused yesterday to tell the name of the con- struction company, but admitted it had built several big docks im Europe. Experts have devised plans whereby the luggage of -passengers classed ac- cording- to cabins can be loaded on at| cars and quickly shifted to the exam- ination cencourse, where custom agents can complete their investigation al- —_— e -under heaven to There will be docking {] rial Pnhn T, Any man tired going. arénnd day after day.
