ger, Henry Miller, at the Majestic
theatre, New York city, where it ran
successfully for three months and then
toured the Atlantic coast states for a
season. The play and original pro
duction have been secured intact and
is now being offered with success in
the popular priced city theatres. In
general theme The Light Eternal"
somewhat resembles Ben Hur,' The
Sign of the Cross" and The Shep-
herd King and deals with the perse-
cution of the early Christians in
Rome. 1t is an intensely interesting
drama of love and religion, beautiful
ly staged and presented by company
of some 80 people, among whom are
some of the biggest names known to
popular priced amusements. Eugenie
Blair, who has recently been starring
in ''Zaza," THE Woman in the Case"

the principal role; George A. Lessey,
late leading man to Amelia Bingham

Islanders and EX-Islanders to Have
Their Game Next Sunday.
The game between the Islanders of
1910 and the ex-Islanders who are in
the city, scheduled for tomorrow af-
ternoOn, has been postponed until
next Sunday afternoon. The idea of
pitting the present day Tighers
against the old favorites proved so
popular that many people who want
ed to see the game and who would be
unable to get away on a week day.
asked to have it postponed until time
when everybody could turn out Ac-
cordingly it has been agreed to play
the game Sunday. Among the old

WEIGHT WINS FOR
The ALUMNI TEAM
High School Boys Have Little
Show Against Opponents in
Annual Contest.
PLUCKY FIGHT, HOWEVER
Youngsters Indicate They Have the
Stuff in an Equal Beef Align
ment-Score II to 5.

The Rock Island high school alumni
football team proved too beefy for the
high school in the annual game played
Saturday afternoon, and the result was
that the school team went down in
oefeat by score of II to 5. With an
advantage of fully 10 pounds to the man
in favor of the alumni, it was not hard
would finally be victorious, for the
lighter varsity lads could do nothing
with their heavy opponents, while the
graduates were able to pillow through
the line at will almost. II was a good
game for all that, however, and the
fight which the losers put up was en-
couraging to their supporters. The
same hard playing and excellent spirit
against a high school team of equal
weight ought to bring home the bacon
for Coach Harmon's proteges.
First Half Even
The game opened with the high
school eleven kicking off to the alumni.
MacManus booted to Lift, who return
ed it 20 yards before being brought to
the ground. Then the battle COM
menced. AT first the heavy alumni
backs waded through the high school
line at will, and it was but a short time
until the ball was on the latter's four
yard line. A third down failed to push
it over, however, and the ball changed
hands. MacManus punted out to the

40-yard line, but the goal was not yet
out of danger, for the alumni started
in again to pile up gains. At crit
ical moments the grads fumbled and
Larkin, playing right end for the high
school, recovered it and MacManus
punted out OF danger The first period,
lasting 10 minutes, ended with the high
school in possession of the ball near
the center of the field. During the next
period, which closed the first half,
neither team had much of an advan-
tage, the ball being in the middle of
the field most of the time.
Score Line Plays.
The alumni opened the second half
with a series of plunges through the
line. and after the ball had changed
sides several times, the graduates sent
Smith over the line for a touchdown.
Lift kicked goal, and the score was
to O. The high school forwards seem
ed unable to stop the plunges of Bren-
mans Smith and Kelly, and there were
times when they sifted clear through
the line without being touched. The
grads found it more difficult to get
around the ends and few gains were
made in that way.
The high school boys were not dis
courased by the score which had been
made against them, and they started
right in TO get it back. Near the, be-
ginning of the second period of the
second half, a series of kicks took the
ball close to the alumni goal. Lift
punted, but Grove smashed through and
blocked the ball and then recovered it
himself. Wilcher carried it four yards
and over the line for a touchdown.
missed the goal kick, and
the score was to 5.
The alumni again adopted their line
tactics when they got pos
session of the ball after the kickoff,
and it was not many minutes before
Kelly went over for another touch
down. Lift missed the goal kick, and
the score was IL to 5, where it remain
ed when time was called.
Teams Played Well.
The high school team put up a good
tight against their older opponents, and
Coach Harmon and the students are
we'll satisfied with their work. Ernest
the high school quarter
pack, proved the star of the day. He
made several long runs, his kicking was
good, and he directed his plays with
excellent judgment at all times. Lar
kin, at left end, although the highest
nan in the game, played in a way that
would have been a credit to any one.
On the line Grove proved strong and
his blocking of punt paved the way

ports to Congress. 1t is to be under
stoo dthat there will be a rigid cut

The postmaster general has an
announced his intention to make the
Postoffice, as far as possible, non-ex-
pensive to the Government. He, how
ever, cannot do this without 1egisla-
ton. The Postofiice is the greatest
common carrier in the world but in
the United States, the cream of carry
ing profits is skinned by the express
companies, leaving the Postoffice de-
partment only the skinned milk. The
Postoffice department should be in this
country, as it is in other countries, a
source OF profit to the Government.
There are thousands OF city carriers
and rural carriers, who, if the United
States had a parcels post law, like
other civilized and even semi-civilized
countries, could be used without addi-

ZANE OF the most important mat
tors to come before Congress
at its approaching session, will
doubtless be the consideration Of legis-
lation looking to some remedy OF the
laws delays in the Federal Courts
something that will contribute toward
the securing OF more prompt and eco
nomical procedure in those Courts,
thereby setting valuable example to
the State Courts which the latter
would, most likely, be urged to follow.
The laws delays has been subject Of
aniinadversion on the layman's
part, certainly since Shakespeare
day, if not much earlier. From his in
innate reportorial acquaintance with
the Courts, Dickens was led to most
bitterly excorciate the dilatory and
slovenly administration of justice in
the English Courts. 1t has been a
subject of general public criticism in
