The flush of victory over Yale was unbe

to cause the bronze statue OF the founder OF
the institution 10 blush violently. Harvard
defeated laie's athletes at Mott Haven
Saturday, and went back 10 school making
the welkin ring with the college yell. Had
the rejoicing stopped there, all well and
good. But full Of enthusiasm and beer.
these disciples OF the classics and manly
arts purchased lot Of red paint and pro-
ceeded literally To paint tue town. They
began with the bronze statue Of John lIar-
ward. founder of the institution, and followed
up their career OF decoration by coloring a
CORY red the entrances 10 all the college
buildings. When the peaceful sabbath sun
arose upon the just and the unjust, upon
Harvard and \ ale, victor and victim, il H.
lumincd a spectacle Of passing strangeness
in the quiet abode Of culture ana muscle.
John Harvard stood upon his pedestal. his
bronze dignity traYesiied in lurid glare Of
red. The arches of Memorial Hall
and the other buildings bore in Inef-
faceable letters of cleaning crimson aud
large size the figures OF the victory. And

THE DRAMA OF THE FUTURE.
L. 4. O'Connor Thinks ii il TO Come From

America
In the Speaker, an English review OF poll
tics, letters, science and the arts, I. L..
O'Connor writes rs follows
Some Americana don't remember which
has declared that the great drama of the
future is 10 come from America. The great
drama has certainly not come for the
slayish adaptation Of French models hv
English dramatists reaches a second and
lower stage In the adaptation of our adapta-
lions in America. And yet there is no
country which could be more fairly expect
ed TO give materials for the great drama
The relations OF man and woman are the
central motive of most dramas and most rO-
mancos. and where are these relations SO
complex, 80 varied, so picturesque as Gin
America ! With us in the old countries.
the Initiation of tragedy belongs almost
exclusively TO the one sex. The man
goes out on his hunt for passion, romance,
home, seeking whom be may deyOur; the
woman sits al her hearth with all the pOssi-
bilities of tragedy in her heart and charac-
ter, but unable 10 stir hand or foot in weav-
Ing her destiny until the man comes 10
guide her first faltcring step. But in Amer
lea. the extraordinary independence which
society gives 10 woman, the spirit Of SELF
reliance which is thus developed, makes
wOman's initiative almost as great a,.man's,
IN affairs ofpassion; and thus we have the
two sexes instead of the one. beginning
those relations which end in the unrec0rded
OF happy home, or in the grief,
crime, death, which form the stock-in-trade
OF the dramatst and the novelist.
One gets some glimpses of this extraor-
binary advantage Of America in the novel,

Benefits Expected From "A steamer on Its

"Gcntlemen, Respecting the disposition
Of the Stanley Fund, | would suggest That

would be a potent factor in Outstanding
and ciyilizinS the numerous tribes dwelling
upon the 800 miles Of coast. Had such a
steamer been upon the lake when the late
when the late expedition under my COM
mand reached its shores II would have been
OF immense service to us. for it would have
enabled Us to transport the whole
eXpcditiOn to the northeast end Oh
the lake. and thus saved much
time, considerable expense, and many
lives. From the lack Of such a vessel the
missionaries near the lake endure consider
able hardship and much priNaiion, and
although the late Mr.. MackaY, oil gahua,
had been working eleven years upon the
construction of small boat, il was ult.-
mately never launched. As tins important
lake was discovered by an Englishman
(~peke) il is fitting that Englishmcn should
carry out this most noble work. The boat
should bc made Of galvanized steel, and
10 be serviccablc should be about sixty
feet by twelve feet. This steamer,
when properly placed upon the waters Of the
great Victoria Lake. should be, i'm my Opin-
ion, handed over either TO the Church Mis-
-ionary Society or the Imperial British East
Africa Company, and an appropriate name
for il would be the Victoria
