The presence in this country Of two notable
Shakespearean scholars--onc of them perhaps
the foremost living authority on the Bard
OF Avon-is calculated to arouse American
interest in some recent phases OF contro-
vCrsy and criticism relating to Shakespeare
and his works. Prof Edward Dowden, fell
low Of Trinity college, Dublin, and the dis
tinguished author Of Shakespeare; His Mind
and Art" is the first of these visitors, while
ITO second is DR.. William r. Moloy, fellow
Of the Royal Irish academy, and OF the Royal
University OF Ireland. Both consented to
talk briefly on Shakespeare and shakes
.cnrcans"
Prof. Dowden does not at first sight convey
the impression OF great scholarship. lie is
short and Of dark complexion. His swart
hair is what Anthony Hope calls 'untidy;
ana veteran SLOUGH hat Carelessly covers
his rather large head. His manner is nerv-
Gus and even awkward at times hut when
Dowden fixes ono with his bluegray Irish
eyes one begins to discover the breadth ana
intensity OF the man. 1t only needs little
DowdCn conversation to complete his con
quest of the average interviewer
II am rather student and critic OF the
Shakespeare plays" said Prof Dowden, than
a ShaktSpelrcan antiquary. After all, 1t mat
tiers little to mankind who the author OF
Hamlet may be. long as we have that
wonderful poem itself. The critics or the
European continent accept the plays, and
bother their heads not one lot as to the
identity OF their maker. To some extent
share those sentiments. Still, OF course
one cannot devote years Of study to the
works of one particular man without taking
some little interest In the life OF That man

TOWN AND PERSONAL NOTES.

Noble B. Strong, Esq, and wife have come back from their Florida home. They report 8 pleasant winter. Who would not, when one could set out in the porch any day and not find it uncomfort- able. Their residence is about two miles wcs1 of Orange City. The latter place is on the St Johns river. They came by boat all the way to New York, on the Mallory line. The severe freeze of '04- '95 is being repaired in so far as the 0rarge crop is concerned. It will take about three years to restore the old trees and five the young ones. They have an acre Of ground connected with their pleasant two story home, on which they have so orange trees, two persimm0ns and q banana. The oranges are not in 8 bearing condition but soon will be. In coming up the St Johns Mrs Strong said it was like coming through 8 fl nwer gar den. Orange City is not quite 39 degrees south latitude. It is the most nearly tropical state in the country. Owing to the proximity to the sea on all sides, the climate is iueular or oceanic, rather than continental in character. Extremes of temperature are unknown.
 Some families have had visitors during the past week from out of town: Herbert Swift from Hartford, at the Orlando swift homestead; Miss Mary Lyman from Jackson, Ill.,, is paying her grand father, George Lyman, vieit.

 We learn that there are several new cases of the measles in the Northeast, Center and College Farms districts, and that without doubt they are to be quite prevalent in our town. The doctor has been called in one or two instances.
