August Thomas each year gives to the American stage its reigning success. This season it is Arizona, whose success was instantaneous and was at once declared the greatest play of the year. But Thomas' play of "Alabama" is without doubt his greatest effort, and year after year holds its place in the favor of threite goers throughout the country, This year it comes to us with the strongest cast that has ever played in the piece, with new scenery and novel mechaical and electrical effects. "Alabama" is the most perfect play ever written by an American author. It is purely American and treats of the American subject. It is a standard of excellence that all play writers can only hope to equal. The drama will be given at the opera house. Seats now on sale at Dick Bros. In all the range of romantic heroism known to the American stage, there is in all probability no one character that stands out so boldly as that of Paul Kauvar, in which Mr E. A. Spencer will be seen at the Bowersock opera house on next Monday evening. The brilliant author of this great play, the late Mr. Steele Mackaye in portraying this hero, outdid all his former efforts, and has shown to mankind a model man, whose actions supply food for reflection, and awaken thoughts ennobling in the breasts of all who see the play. Probably there is not in all history a period more stormy, an era so full of exiting incidents, an era of such remarkable occurrences, as that of the French Revolution, and among all the names whose owners figured in that time of strife and carnage, Mr. Mackaye could not have elected any more dignified, tender, noble and heroic than young Paul Kauwar—the youth whose place in history has no parallel, who loved his country, his honor and his Diane better than his life—a youth of astonishing self-abnegation, of peerless character, of remarkable physical courage that undraught bravery that recognizes no obstacle—that falters not at anything His life was a brilliant instance of a man who elevated himself by manly attitude and actions from a position of obscurity to honor and high place. It is said that Mr. Spencer gives an admiral interpretation of this great character, and that the Diane o Miss Isabel Pengra, his leading support, is perfect in every way. The other member of the company include Mr. John A. Lane John Milton, Geo. Morton, Joseph Zahne and other well known and capable players LAW NOTES.

GREEK SYMPOSIUM Prof. Penny has made arrangements for an annual European educational excursion in connection with the school of fine arts, as a supplement to his course of lectures on "The History of the Fine Arts." The first tour will be next summer, the party leaving New York on the City of Rome, June 30, for Glasgow, Scotland, visiting several of the English cathedrals on the way south to London, a week at the national gallery and British museum, then to the galleries of Holland, Amsterdam, The Hague, Antwerp, Brussels, two weeks in Paris, visiting the exhibition, the Louvre, etc. Then seeing several of the great French cathedrals on the way back to London, Stratford, and northern Ireland, where the party take the steamer for home in August. The cost for the trip is only $60.50 from New York, and return, including all expenses. It is hoped that the party will be large enough to insure an annual excursion to various parts of Europe for art study. Prof. Wilcox lectured on "The Early Greek Sculpture 'of the Sixth Century." Many of these early works were but imitations of still earlier wooden models, as may easily be seen by the hard, straight lines which characterize wood carving. Figures of divinities or deified persons were always enlarged. A Doric figure of persons cutting off the Medusa head was discussed in detail. The figures of this early period were heavy, short, partly in relief and partly in profile. Often the face was made full front, while the feet were shown from a side view. As sculpture advanced the human body was represented larger size. A failing of early artists was to exaggerate certain parts of the body. Eyes, cheeks, and noses were made too prominent and it was many years before they learned to represent life by any other expression than a smile. One of the old marbles is that of a man bearing a calf on his shoulders to the sacrifice. The stone is of great interest because the same idea comes down the pages and re-appears in the catacombs where Christ is pictured as carrying his sheep. Medusa heads of the sixth century were extremely ugly. It was not until 200 years later that the face was made beautiful and the horrible details added. Most of the bronze statues have eyes of some other material. The famous isle of Aegina lies southwest of Athens. When Greece was opened to travel in the beginning of this century a temple of Athena was found there. Many fine statues were also secured. Among the most noted are those that Ludwig brought to Munich. The missing parts were restored by a Danish artist, which impairs their value. The Aegina marbles were highly colored. The figures at Munich are ten in number, and they occupied the gable of the temple. A conflict is represented. More figures were probably in existence than have been found. The statues are graceful and beautiful, but the shoulders are too wide and the hips narrow. Farmer Boys at College. Some interesting figures as to the proportion of farmers' boys among college students have been gathered by the American Agriculturalist. It has returns from 178 universities and colleges reporting an attendance of 62,000 students. In this analysis of the figures the Agriculturalist reduces the number of students considered to a little under 52,000, for some unexplained reason, excluding, it says, a few city colleges like Harvard, Pratt Institute, University of Rochester, Fiske University and others. Out of this total of about 52,000 it finds that nearly 21,000 are from agricultural classes, or a percentage varies largely in different sections of the country. It is 59.9 in the south, 45.8 in the far west, 40.1 in the central west, 29.4 in the Middle States and 29.1 in New England. "In no other nation will any such condition be found." comments the Agriculturalist. "It is a wonderful tribute to the general intelligence of our American farmer's families, and to the high hopes and deep aspirations of their sons and daughters." This exhibit adds mightily to the dignity of agriculture, at least in the eyes of the masses in other vocations. Miss Caroline Hazard has been installed as president of Wellesley College.
