produced tonight at the Lyceum, with Sir
Henry Irving in the title role. Exceptional
Interest attached to the occasion and 1t was at
tended by most distinguished artistic and
literary society audience the drama illus
trates the striking contrast of character be-
tweCC Peter and his dreamy, oft-hearted
son. and Peters futile attempts to mould
Alexis into man of acticu and Undue him
with his overmasterlng ambition.
1his interesting character study is cleverly
developed, but the first half of the pay is
entirely lacking in ac.ion, the two acts be-
Ing virtually repetltons of each other. The
dialogue, too, showed u tendency to drift into
commonplace and in the earlier parts needs
severe condensation. The three later acts,
in which Alexis Is captured at Naples and
brought back to Russia charged with con-
spiIGcy are executed, are more effectively
ccns;ructed end the fEGl scene between
Peter ard Alexis, in which the feelings CT the
t,ther and ambitious cZar are brought into
pathetic conflict, was marked by the superb
effort by Irving, which brough. down the
curtain amid a storm OF applause. The
final scene is highly dramatic, for IS Alexis
dies by poison Peter is Informed hat this in
fact sCn by Empress Catherine en- whom all
his hopes for pcsterity were founded Is also
dead.
Miss Terry, as Empress Catherine, gave a
delightful reminiscence of her memorable
Madam Sans GCue, but she has very little TO
do in the drama While the audience was un-
stntei in its applause of Sir Henry Irving S

DES MONIES. JAM -(Speclal.)-Secre-
tary Fowler of the Iowa State Agricultural
society has received reports from 104 of the
107 agricultural societies in the state
in regard to their business durug the year
1897 and these reports show them to be in
a more prosperous condition than they were
at the same time year ago. The receipts
from the different fairs for 1897 are over
$50, 900 ahead of those of last year While the
aggregate Indebtedness of the associations
has increased something like 10000 the bal
ance on hand has been swelled more than
proportiOnately. AT the close of last year
there was balance in the combined treas
uries amounting to $6,34525, while they
emerge this year from their annual celebra-
tons with a balance of S2267O.16. Even with
an increase in the indebtedness of the asso-
Citations the entire amount will not average
more than 25 per cent of the value of the
property of the individual associations
which average all the way from SO 900 to
$4,000 each. Over sixty of the associations
have sent in the required afiidavits and re-
ceiyed the 5000 bonus from the state The
other forty will probably make showing
before the legislature and eventually receive
the same sum,
