Frank Donahue, formerly employed

the Rock Island league teams. The
rules not permitting, they sought to
have them changed.
At the meeting last night DOnahue
had the promise of enough of the di
rectors in advance to assure him OF
the rules being altered as desired
Two of those whom he claimed had
told him they would support the
change were DIR. Fred Grafiund, Of
Moline, and John Leonardy, of Dav
export, but it appears that last night
they went back on their promises,
and the move was defeated.
Both Men Are Attacked.
After the meeting the two men were
approached by Donahue and accused
of double dealing. Both were assault
ed, Grafiund claiming that he was
kicked by Donahue after he had been
knocked down. Friends interfered be
fore any serious damage was done
Donahue says that both men got n
more than they had coming to them.

"rhe VILLAGE Postmaster"

A New Hampshire village of so years
ago, the New England atmosphere of
clear skies and summer showers, pic
turesquely broken landscapes, the remi-
niscent odor of new mown hay, the hip
rooted barn. the Old-fashioned dove
cotes under the caves, the spacious
farm yard with its MINDLESS well, it's
old-style threshing machine and strut
ting turkey cocks; the people of long
ago. lace bosomed and velvet collared
men, women with ruffied skirts and
fiounced; this is the setting of the now
famous rural play THE Village Post
master" which which comes to the ILL
nois at an early date. The play is sug-
gestive of THE Old Homestead" the
characters are the same only a genera
ton older. and the story has the heart
interest of the old favorite THE vii
lage Postmaster" is ingeniously con-
structed, a performance full of charm
and grace free from studied effect and
yet telling in every scene. spontaneous
and carefully elaborated in detail.

Orfental Artists.

While wholly neglecting the laws
of perspective and the values Of
light and shade, oriental artists
have always striven above every
thing to secure accuracy of outline
and faithful details down to the mi
nutest point. Their work is mostly
decorative and practiced often on
small and rounded surfaces-minia-
lures, vases and ornamental sword
guards-where breadth of design is
impossible.
They have thus developed a gem
Jus for minute accuracy and have
acquired facility and sureness of
touch in this sphere which make
them masters in the art of depicting
insects, birds, flowers and fishes.
The directness and strength Of line
which give so much charm and dash
even to a sketch BY a Jap artist are
due to the habit of writing and
drawing from the elbow and not
from the wrist, and their INFINITELY
elaborate work may be ascribed to
the fact that from childhood they
learn to form their intricate signs
and letters with a brush for their
