MR. BURroN,s LECTURES.
UnIversIty Extension Course,


 The subject of pr. Richard Burton's third lecture before the University Ex- tension club Monday evening was The Romancers." The first great develop ment of the English novel took place between the years TAO and 1771. The last novel of this period was Smolletts "Humphray Clinkes." After this period of intellectual fertility there is but little to mention save Miss Burney's novels and Miss Edgeworth's. Then came Jane Austen, who gave us pictures of English country life; miniatures painted on ivory, so to speak She believed it to be worth while to paint these minia- lures to make ordinary and conven- manners. She may be called the moth CT of modern realists, with this differ repraochable. Her language is, on the whole, much more natural, elegant, and correct, than that used by the writers who preceded her. But this writer good as she is, does not represent the new movement in literature, both in England and on the continent, in poetry and prose: a revolution in taste which substituted romantic ideals and senti- ments for realism.
 The first great overtowering figure in romanticism is Sir Walter Scott, who was really the head of the romantic school He still dominates the fictional landscape Besides genius, Scott had character: the one being quite as inn pressive as the other. But in diction Scott is a careless giant. Charlotte and Emily Broute deserves mention among the romanticists. Charles Dickens, though he really belongs to the analytic school in his later work shows con- stantly the romantic bias. The breath of life was in him. Charles Reades "The Cloister and the Heath" was spoken of as a great romantic novel Our own great romancer was Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose work was of the eerie and marvellous style. His son has aptly called him "The Ghost of New England" Even before Hawthorne we had Cooper's romances. Another TO- mancist was Irving, as witness, Rip Van Wrinkle" Among modern English writers of the romantic school are Stevenson, Barrie, Ian Maelaren and Kipling (Haggard represents the pseu- do romantic), Hall, Caine and Conan Doyle. There is now blessed revival of romanticism, even present day writ CTS of the realistic school showing in their work the wholesome savor of TO- manticism, It is impossible to do jus tice to this lecture in brief report. It should have been heard by larger audience, though the hall was well filled in spite of the fog and drizzle.

 There came near being another ter rible accident at the depot yesterday afternoon. James Kavanagh was playing with some other boys about the freight cars and attempted to cross the track to the depot just in front of the 1:25 express train from New Haven. As he was nearly across he stumbled and fell and how he escaped death the eye-witnesses cannot explain. As it was his hat and one of his rub bers was carried along by the engine and his clothing was badly torn. Tlh'e engineer set the brakes and the express stopped and one of the brakemen was sent back and the train started up again. Kavanagh picked himself up and apparently was not seriously in jured This is the second time he has barely escaped death on the railroad, to say nothing of several other es- capes.

1rreverent students at chanel.

At prayers at Yale Battell chapel yes- terday there was such an open lack of decorum exhibited during the services as to call forth a stinging rebuke from Professor Ladd later in the day. The gallery at Battell at the services was filled with promenade guests and pray CTS were conducted by Professor Ladd in the absence of President Dwight. The solemnity of the occasion seemed to be wholly overlooked and there was so much whispering, loud talking and moving about that at times it was irl1- possible to hear the minister. After prayer there was a regular stampede rush for the exits.
 Professor Ladd, in addressing one of his classes directly afterward, said that the friends of Yale were alarmed at the lack of reverence shown at the service and deprecated exceedingly the great lack os decorum in the house of God exhibited at the morning service
