surrour ings and environments of the play VIII oe
in keeping with the subject The only question
that remains is the usual one whether the play Is
good for anything.
The play has been made, as IS already known,
by Lorimer Stodd ard, from Thomas Hardy's story.
1t Is said. by who have read 1t. that 1t Is not
gloomy affair might be supposed. 1t Is
also said that 1t brings together the dramatic
material which the book spreads over wide space
into a small compass, and makes the action con
tinuous and rapid. The first act passes on the
farm where Tess falls in love with Angel Clare.
Before accepting his love she resolves to tell him
Of her betrayal by Alec DUrberVillc. which was
before the play began Lt her intention do so is
frustrated. The second act is in the old house
which WAS formerly the home OF the ID UrDorvliles,
and is now the home Of Clare and Tess. his wife.
Alec DUrberville reappears and Tess follows him
10 his lodgings, where she murders him. 1t is not
disclosed yet how the play deals with the end

Ended Very Disastrously.
BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 2.-There will
be no more trustees at the University
of California, if President Kellogg's
latest mandate is obeyed. Half dazed,
his jaw broken, his face a bleeding
mass, Benjamin Kurtz, a newly entered
freshman, was found wandering about
the campus after the rush between the
two lower classes. In the struggle,
some one put his heel on Kurtz's face,
and as a result he is disfigured for life,
and may have sustained an injury Of
the brain. An examination showed
that a piece of flesh had been torn from
one nostril. The upper lip hung only
by a shred, and. the ragged nature OF
the tear made the injury more serious.
All the front teeth We're gone. -Four
teeth had been knocked out Of the lower
jaw, and the bone in which they had
been imbedded was broken out with
them. Both the upper and lower jaws
were smashed and the flesh of all the
face crushed and bleeding. There were
two other serious casualties. Frank
Marshal, freshman, had his right leg
broken, jus. above the ankle. Conlon
another freshman, came out Of the com
bat with a broken leg.
