PROF. HOPKINS LECTURE.


On Post-Pheidian Greek Sculptor.
Prof. Hoppin in his lecture at Yale
Art school yesterday said he would
treat critically a Greek sculptor, who
was less Familiarity known than others,
and, in fact was an object Of half spec
ulation, but who was second to hardly
none.
This was Skopas, a contemporary Of
Praxitiles and subsequent to the time
of Pheidias. His distinction was that
he introduced feeling into art 1t was
not outward emotion merely, but the
passions of the soul. The times helped
him. He lived in a restless period,
from 400 to 800 B. c.. after the thirty
years war and its changes and i'm
mediately preceding the time of Alexan-
der. The old order was overthrown.
Misfortune brought despair Faith
was lost; but Greece still produced
great men. The ideas Of art We're alter
ed. Instead Of the Pheidian divine ideal
of form, the human ideal of feeling or
expression was introduced.
Skopas led the way into a great life
movement, influential to this day
Our knowledge of ancient artists Is
derived from two sources, classic liter
allure and The intrinsic qualities OF
works of art themselves. The lecturer
then examined and classified references
to Skopas in classic literature, some
what fragmentary, but, taken together,
forming strong testimony.
Skopas own sculptures and those of
his school were discussed, especially the
Herakles Of Skyon, the Amazon-frieze
of the monument of Helicanarsos. and
above all the Bacchante. The older
Greek sculptors had form, Skopas had
motion. 1t was the agitation of the
soul deeper than the body. Fire, ener-
gy, grief, JOY and passion were his. BY
circumstantial evidence and classic rec
ords and fragments of sculpture here
and there collected the lecturer sought
to build an argument, and this method
of evidence will be continued In the next
lecture.

he left will in which he gave the in
surance, which was $4,000 to Mabel b.
Stivers of Orange.
Both the daughter and the heir at law
under the will claimed the funds, ana
the association asked the court to de-
termine which one was entitled to II.
The court found that the bylaws pro-
vided that the money shall be divided
equally among the children of the
members. The court finds that Mrs.
Stevenson is the only child and is there
fore entitled to receive the funds.
Judge Prentice of the superior court
has disposed of the following short cal
ender matters:
Ludwig & Co., against Constantine
Simon, demurrer to second defense sus-
tanned. Masonic Mutual Benefit asso-
citation, suit Of interpleader. Judgment
for Louise P. Severson to recover ST.

McCusker s. Schroeder against M.
Spier & Co., the second defense and
counter claim is insufficient, and the
demurrer is sustained.

PENITENTIARY INVESTIGATION.

Though not concluded yet, the peni
Tertiary investigation has proceeded
far enough to furnish considerable food
for wholesome thought, and, in our
opinion, the most important result ot
the whole business is going. to depend
upon the use that the people of the
state will make of the lessons now be-
ing developed.
So far it seems that Colonel Neal is
short not less than $4,000, and how
much more is question to be deter
mined by further investigation. Up tc
this time, however-it may develop
later Ont does not appear that Colo.
mel Neal has been the immediate selfish
beneficiary of his shortage. This does
not in the least mitigate the colonel's
responsibility, moral or otherwise but
in view of numerous other develop,
ments, the situation is very significant
The penitentiary, it seems, has been
kind of open house, Colonel Neal
posing as "mine host" the state Of
South Carolina footing the bills, and
all manner Of public officials receiving
and accepting the benefits, while all
were united in their testimony to the
people that the states affairs were be
ing administered with an austere econ
omy that would have done credit tC
ancient Spartan simplicity, etc.
Among the numerous bene6ciaries o.
Meals munifcence-otherwise the
states muni6cence-we do not think
there has been single one who has
been unable to distinguish the differ
ence-we find Governor Tillman, Gov
ernor Evans, Governor Ellerbe, Con
gresham Latimer, Secretary Thomp'
kins, and others too numerous to men
ton. To be sure the acceptance of the
proceeds of small farm worked at state
expense was a small matter, 80 also
was the acceptance of free eating and
lodging, etc., and of furniture made by
convicts; but all these things cost
money and it is easy to see how in the
aggregate, they could have swallowed
up considerably more than $4,000.
What Senator Tillman, Governor
Ellerbe and Ex-Governor Evans and
others will say about these things, we
do not know. 1t is quite likely that
they will pass it off as a good joke.
For instance, Senator Tillman remarks
quite airily that he has tried to pay
