|PLAsTER|NG IS UNDER FIRE
Entire Building May Fave to Be Re-
plastered Before the Government Of
ficials Sanction Bill of Contract
ors.

Kenosha' IS new postofice building,
which has been occupied by Postmaster
Maloney and his assistants for the past
five months has not as yet been &C
cepted by the United States govern
ment. This fact was brought out this
morning in hearing before Judge Bel
brought by Robert Tabbert ct al of
Milwaukee against the j. P. Cullen
Company of GAINESVILLE who had the
contract for the building and further
it was brought out that the government
believes the plastering of the building
to be defective to such an extent that
it has declined to accept the building
Attorneys for the Cullen Company
in court today declared that the in
spectors of the government had recent
ly inspected the building but had de-
clined to accept the work as in keep
ing with the specifications of the sup
cruising architect and that the govern
ment still held up between $4,000 and
$1,000 of the original contract price
of the building. 1t was declared that
the plastering in the building was so
defective that it may be necessary to
replaster the entire building. During
the last few weeks the workmen of a
Milwaukee firm were sent to Kenosha
to patch up some of the ornamental
plastering in the lobby of the building
and it is declared that the Postmaster
who is the acting custodian of the
building may be forced to ask the gov
eminent to demand the replastering of
the entire building,
The suit in court was brought by the
Tabbert Company to collect their claim
for the plastering of the Columbus
school and the Board Of Education of
the city was named as a defendant in
this suit. The claim Of the plaintiff
was for $1794 and interest. In the
answer the Cullen Company claimed
that it had many offsets to the bill and
then introduced the contract for the
postof1ice building as part of the
counter claim. The Board of Educa-
tion still holds up portion of the con-
tract price for the payment of the Co.
lumbus school and the court has been
notified that this money is in the hands
Of the Board and held pending the for
NAL acceptance of the building. The
Cullen Company claims that there is no
liability on it save the fact that it
made sub-contracts for the plastering
of the two buildings.
Judge Belden was asked today to
continue the suit for the term but he
took the matter under advisement and
will render some decision later in the
month. 1t was declared that the gov
eminent had set no time for the ac-
ceptance of the postoflice building and
that it might be several months before
this action is taken.

SENTIMENT FAVoRs THE LINE

The promoters for the proposed Elec-

to the lake regions of the western part
OF Kenosha county have been canvas.
sing the situation with farm owners
in that part of the county during the
past week and it is probable that a
meeting of all interested parties will
be called within the next two weeks to
give the people of the farming COM
munities chance to give their views
in regard to the building of the pro-
posed road. Justin K Orvis Of Wau-
kegan who is at the head of the com

that he will make no request for fran

osna until after the company is as
sured that the farmers will take some
interest in the building of the line.
Several informal meetings have been
held at the village of Wilmot and at
other villages in the northern end of
the county and it is certain that many
people of these villages are favorable
to the building Of the proposed line.
The men owning summer resorts at the
various lakes in the county are parti-
eularly active in urging the building
of the line and it is certain that the
great number Of people living about
the lakes will be willing to make some
provisions for the sale of stock in the
company in order to secure a new cleo
trio railway to connect their property
with Kenosha and other cities.
The company has declared that it
will be in condition to build the line
during 1911 if the people show will
lngness to aid in securing the money
necessary. The company is not claim,
ing any big capital stock or any great
amount of money for the line but thew
insist that money will be provided if
the people show willingness to help.
Meetings have already been held in all
the Illinois villages along the proposed
route of the road and the people in
these villages have enthusiastically
promised support for the company.

AN APOLOGY
No More CeIlulOid StersOpticOn Slides For
Illustrated Lectures

In consequence of the destruction
Of five slides in the illustrated mis-
sionary lecture last Sunday evening
upon the Philippines, the lecture was
spoiled. These slides were made of
transparent celluloid and bound or
framed with aluminium. The heat
from the powerful lense IN the elec-
trio stereopticon at the Mission
Chapel, st. Anne's, where these lee
lures are held the second Sunday in
each month, melted the slide and set
it upon fire.
The congregation remained calm
and the lecturer>endeavored to con-
tinue, but the Philippines and Bishop
Brent's work suffered in portrayal.
After apologizing to the congrega-
tion. the lecturer wrote apologetically
to the assistant secretary of the
Board of Missions, who sends out
these slides for lecture purposes.
The reply of the Rev. Mr.. Burleson
will speak for the past and the fu-
ture:
New York, Dec. IA. 1910.
Rev. j. T. McComas, Annapolis, Md.
My Dear McComas- cannot be
very sorry that you burned up some
of the slides. found them here
when | came and have never believed
in them. We are replacing them
with glass slides and are ordering
no more celluloid ones. In fact
think the Philippine set you had is
the only lecture which contains
them. Under the circumstances you
have perhaps conferred favor upon
Us by your conAagration as you
have furnished a satisfactory proof
of my contention that-like the
Change of Name-they are "inexpe-
dient at this time; so that | feel
owe you an apology, and you owe US
nothing in particular Do not fear
for the other sets. They are all in
thoroughly breakable glass, but at
least they will not go up in a puff of
smoke.

THE LITERATURE CLASS
Prof. Armstrong Reads SpIendidly Writ.
ten Paper The Evolution OF The
English Drama"

Before the private class in Eng
fish literature which meets weekly at
Miss Pinkney's, Duke of Gloucester
street, Professor Armstrong, of St.
Johns College, last night read a
carefully prepared paper. the prepa-
raration of which showed deep re-
search, careful thought and rare at
tainment along the lines of English
literature.
Professor Armstrong; paper con-
tanned valuable information to
marked degree. 1t was educational,
interesting and entertaining. 1t is
impossible 20 review in a brief sketch
a paper, the preparation of which
showed such marked literary genius
and was so complete, comprehensive
and altogether masterful.
Professor Armstrong reviewed the
old drama before Shakespeare day,
and gave brief sketch of the days
of the dramas incipiency. He spoke
of the simplicity of the old drama, its
naivete, of the anachronisms. He
referred to Mrs Noah" as being
the first, the leading spirit in or
ganizing Woman's Clubs, when she
wanted to gather her female friends
together and have Mr.. Noah take
them in the ark he was building
He spoke of the miracle play which
presented in the abstract the doctrines
of the church. He said when we
study closely about Shakespeare we
are likely to overlook Shakespeare's
x.woooo.eor. Tba raoI baOip,>;1n of
the English drama takes US back to
the services of the Mediaevel
Church. There were three elements
of the dramatic epic. lyric and
pantomimic. The latter is that
which interprets words with action.
The first real drama was the church
celebration of the Eucharist. Being
dramatic in form, however, there
was one thing lacking to make it a
drama, viz: dramatic intention.
Professor Armstrong then traced
the growth of dramatic intention.
The English Pontiff saved the day
ard freed the church from the English
drama in 1911. Corpus Christi was
the day for celebrating the drama,
and the lecturer told of the pageant
and pageantry of those times. He
said there were two varieties of
drama at that time. the mystery
plays and miracle plays, the later
in England being any play lbased
upon religious drama. Then came
morality plays. in which there were
more absolute phases of the Chris
tian doctrine. Morality plays deal
with definite ideas, are logical and
are bound part to part as cause and
effect. Singleness of theme and
the unfolding of it has to do with
morality plays. Then there was
the gradual secularizing of morality
plays.
Professor Armtrong told of the
influence Italy had upon the Eng
Iisn drama, and how the drama had
arisen out of the divine liturgy,
and how when once out of the
church walls, comedy was intro
duced. He spoke of the taste for the
spectacular, and finally the pedants
faced the classical plays.
Professor Armstrong reviewed that
wonderful play "Everyman, and
spoke of it's moral effect upon all
classes who witness its production.
The paper covered the subject in a
complete and exhaustive manner. 1t
is worthy of compilation in pamphlet
form. The writer brought the sub
ject of the drama to Shakespeare s
time.
