Telegraph to The Trtbune.l Cambridge. June than three thousand persons attended to-day the. performance of the Greek tragedy, "Apam-mnon," in the stadium given by students of the classical department of Harvard.

and had been especially trained for six months to do this work. The two chariots were designed by Professor Gulick and Dr. Chase from ancient Greek vases and the Parthenon frieze. They were given by the Porcellian and Alpha Delta Phi clubs, with the understanding that the clubs were to have them for a race after the play had been given. It was a brilliant pageant, with the flashing chariots, gay robes and bright weapons of the Players that moved back and forth across the preen turf.

The acting was pleasing and the enunciation of the Greek lines was declared. as a whole, dramatic and clear by those familiar with the language The audience, however, readily followed tne players as an English translation and the oreek text had been printed on opposite pages of the programme. In the cast were A. S. Brady, as the Trojan Princess.

A NEW "PUTNAM'S MONTHLY." Interesting American Literary News Received via London. From The London Sphere. Mr. Putnam has also a very Interesting publishing venture on hand. He proposes to produce in America a non-illustrated magazine of a very high character, to be called "Putnam's Monthly." This is not a new title, as Mr.

Putiiam's father had the distinction of publishing in America th? first magazine run on independent lines and with contributions by American authors, for which they wtre paid. At thai time, of course, there were many American magazines existence, but all of them were made up of material pirated from English authors. The effort of Mr. Putnam, however, cannot be said to have been a very great success as a pioneer of the honest treatment of authors, for after a five years' run his magazine came to an end in 1857 Now we are. to have it revived, although I should not "we." because Mr.

Putnam's magazine be exclusively American, and it i- not Intended that it should be in this country. It will give an additional medium on the other side of the Atlantic for the best efforts of living- English writers whose work can appear simultaneously in English magazines.

Washington. June Representative Rufus Ezekiel Lester, of Savannah. died at the Cairo apartment house this evening at 6:2 o'clock as the result of injuries he received in a fall through a skylight last night. Although Mr. Lester recovered consciousness sufficiently to recognize his wife and young granddaughters, who were with him at the 'time of his death, he did not say anything which threw light on the manner in which he was injured.

About o'clock last night Mr. Lester took the elevator to th top floor of the apartment house in which he lived. Nobody saw him after he left the car until he was found, terribly mangled, thirty feet beneath a shattered skylight, through which he had fallen. Mr. Lester was in search of hal grandchildren at the time of the accident, and it is supposed that he, went to the roof thinking that tne iittie girls might be there looking at an airship which was to make an ascent at a local amusement park.

His eyes were poor, and it is thought that he did not see the skylight. Both of Mr. Lester's legs were crushed by the fall, his arm was badly sprained, and the shock was so great that he seemed to be unable to rally Physicians said he sustained no internal injuries, so far as th- could ascertain, and expressed the lief that shock wa3 responsible for his death. Mr. was a native of Georgia, having been born in that state sixty-nine yea ago.
