OPEN AIR DRAMATICS.

Will Be Held This Afternoon and
 Again This Eevinng.
 The weather man has promised fine weather to-day and the failure in that regard is the only possibility which can affect the success of to-day's inn portant dramatic affairs at the Lawn club where Ben Greet's famous Wood land players are to come and perform the lovely comedy of AS You Like It. and the more rollicking Comedy of Errors" The first named play will be performed in the open-air on a natural stage at this afternoon and the lat ter will be played at S:15 this evening" It would be hard to find a company which, all in all, is better trained in the best methods of Shakesperean act ing than these players of MT. Greet and their work to-day will be unusu- ally interesting aside from the fact that it is done in the open air. Two figures are especially prominent in this company, MT. Greet, himself, and Miss Wynne Matthison, who has scored so remarkable success in "Everyman" and as "Rosalind" and "Adriana,'' the two characters which she will play here, in these open-air performances already given. Miss Matthison is spoken of to-day in higher terms than any other young player and a very bright future is looked for from her. Both characters are ideally fitted to her and she will undoubtedly prove | charming and convincing in both. The charm of the evenings performance will be enhanced by the beautiful ef- fleets which MT. Greet obtains by lime lights, which are arranged in unique manner.
 Tickets are on sale at the Hyperion box office, but all those for the after noon play unsold at 2:30 to-day will be taken to the Lawn club grounds to be sold there. Unsold tickets for the evening will be taken to the grounds at 6:3O Members of the Yale Dramatic l association will act as ushers. The gates will be opened one hour before the play is to begin.

for the Sufferers. ,~.t- i,f tAs | z3 Rev. W. F. Dickerman of the Church
 of the Messiah preached a sermon yes terday morning on the massacre of the
 Jews at Kishineff, Russia. The discourse
 was a powerful one and the graphic and wonderfully realistic portraiture of the cruelties and atrocities perpetrated on the poor victims of the inhunan brutes, who disgraced civilization by their cow ardly and bloodthirsty acts stirred the audience which had gathered on that occasion The sermon throughout was a remarkably able one and the speaker evinced deep Knowledge of and profound sympathy as we'll as admiration for the Hebrew race. He dwelt upon the facts recorded in Holy Writ of the illustrious ones of that race who had wrought
 righteousness and laid the solid founda-
 tion for all that is great and enduring in the moral and spiritual world. He
 spoke of the blind fanaticisrn which
 moved those so-called Christians to
 commit the capital crime of Christen-
 dom, in the name of Jesus, who was
 the offspring of David." ..ss.4ss
 MT. Dickerrnan in closing eloquently ispoke Of the Fatherhood of God and
 deplored the fact that we are so cruel
 to our brother man. For God hath made of one blood all the nations of the
 earth He touched on an incident which happened a few days ago at one of our
 schools. Two bright and we'll behaved
 boys were taunted by their comrades
 on account of their nationality. The little fellows went home feeling much depressed by the cruel treatment they had received. This incident shows that lit is not alone in far Russia that cruel
 acts are done and cruel words spoken.
 In this land of boasted freedom and lib-
 erality we look for something better. If the splendid teachings of the old prophets were mixed in's with our so- called Christianity and taught to many
 of those who are called Christians, but from their lives are anything but Chris tians, the world would be better for it and peace and righteousness reign. For ''what doth the Lord require of thee,
 but to do justly, and to love mercy,
 and to walk humbly with thy God" g

A great deal Of interest has becn
created in scientific circles here by the
dispatches from Australia telling of an
extraordinary red dust storm that
broke over Melbourne. November IL.
and which afterward became general
over New Soath Wales.
One phenomenon in connection with
the storm was the falling of fireballs.
which set fire to several buildings in
Melbourne. 81 midday the city was in
darkness. people traversing the streets
with lanterns. Tho superstitious
thought that the end of the world was
about to como. and scenes of panic are
described in some OF the dispatches.
At the same time comes the news
that the Sayaii volcano in Samoa is in
violent state Of eruption. and that the
villages in the neighborhood are COW
cred with ashes to a depth of two
inches. Sir Norman Lockyer. the as.
trononer. in an interview printed in
The Daily Mail stated that fireballs
were constantly seen at the time of the
recent eruptions in the West Indies,
so that 1t is possible that the phenom.
ena in Australia may have been con-
nected with the volcanic activity in
Samoa.
The firebaIls are generally described
as globular lightning. There are rec
crds of much damage having been
caused by them. In 1909 the Warren
Hastings. a British warship. was
struck on the masts by three fireballs
in quick succession. In 1881 an cleo
