PRES. WATKINS AND MGR. BURKE RESIGN Shakeup on Indianapolis A. A. Club Because of the . Losing Streak.

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, May 23. The resignation of President William K. Watkins and Manager Jimmy Burke of the Indianapolis Amrican Association baseball team were accepted this morning. Sol Meyer, a heavy stockholder In the Indianapolis club, becomes president and Charles O'Leary recently purchased from the Detroit team, who is an inflelder, becomes manager. The decapitation of Watkins and Burke came as a climax of long dissatisfaction over the failure of Indianapolis to procure a winning team. At a stockholders meeting last night it was (decided to request the resignation of Manager Burke. To this Watkins strenuously objected. It was announced early today that the resignation of Watkins, which is said to have been in the hands of the directors since last fall, had been accepted with that of Burke. MODISH STRIPES. Charming Frock With Modified Pannier Effect. ' wvmaa oostumb or thifkd sruc Striped silk Is charmingly used Id itfcls costume. The fitted skirt ruffle howl the material In vertical Uaes; also the modified pannier effect Is carried' out In this fashion. Scant ruffles of plain silk trim the I pannier, outline the collar on the bodice and adorn, the turn back cuffs on I the sleeres. This disposition of stripes requires an artist's band to successfully manipulate. New Work For Women. Miss Lena Ash-well, Miss Gertrude ; Kingston, Miss Lilian McCarthy and Miss Sarah Brook are London women who manage theaters. Miss Ashwell was the first to take up such work and ' rather antagonized the other managers ";by giving away programs Instead of selling them and by abolishing the cloakroom tip. She was finally obliged to relinquish these efforts at reform because of opposition. Miss Catherine D. Groth is a young woman who acts as advance agent for Frltsl Scheff with a great deal of success. She is a graduate of a Paris university and has taken her M. A. degree at Columbia, New York, a proof that college women are growing broader in their choice of work. New Teaching Method. Miss Henrietta Rodman of New York says that many high school girls are martyrs of a system of education which requires them to "pass" in mathematics and Greek and Latin, which they may hate and yet have remarkable ability in other directions. She has a plan of education to suggest to high school teachers which she has tried in her own school. One of the girls sits at the desk, and she sits among the pupils. The girl teaches for a day and. needless to say, has her own lessons that day. Then Miss Rodman encourages the girls to study themselves and. If they cannot learn Greek and Latin, to find out in what way they can excel. Wemen In Japan. . The tenth anniversary of the founding of the Japanese Women's university, the only one of its kind in Asia, was observed last year. Marquis Ito and the empress of Japan have taken great interest in it from the beginning. While in India the percentage of girls attending school Is seven out of every thousand, in Japan it is ninety-one out of every hundred, and undoubtedly the college has had much to do with the desire for education on the part of girls. Children may enter the kindergartens at the age of three years. There are about twenty papers in Japan devoted to the Interests of women, and some women contribute to them. A Clever Idea. A clever Idea for stowing away hats, furs, blouses, etc.. was evolved by a woman who lived in a tiny apartment. She had a wide shelf erected across one end of her bedroom, about a foot and a half below the ceiling. Then she bought six or seven hat boxes and covered them with wall paper in a rose design that harmonized with the rose color of her room. These formed a kind of frieze across one wail, and without detracting from the general appearance made a little storeroom easily accessible. On the outside of her cupboard door was kept a list showing what was in box No. L box No. 2. etc.

A PICTURE AND

J. M. Dennis, of Detroit, Shows Interesting Pastel in a Main Street Window. Eyden's Picture at the Herron Art Institute.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. One of the most difficult artistic mediums to work in is pastel. Many are the crimes committed in its name. Pastel, to the amateur, seems to offer a facile avenue of communication, and hence the frequent pictorial atro cities served up under its guise. It is, indeed, dangerous for all but the skilled artist skilled, literally, in the mechanics of art. .And even at that if he has not much individuality of talent, he will fall short in accomplishment. Pastel is not facile, as are its fluid confreres, oil and water. Although its nuances are infinite in possibility in the hands of its canny manipulators. An attractive picture in this medium has recently been shown in the windows of Haner's Jewelry store, painted by J. M. Dennis, of Detroit. Mr. Dennis, whose identity is unknown to the writer, is evidently an artist of parts. This "example of his art i3 interesting not only in manner but in subject. For he has taken a somewhat hackneyed artistic theme a roadway through a wood and worked it into a charming pictorial symphony. Suggestion is always more effective than complete exposition. A half disclosure of beauty more alluring than in its entirety. A hint more provocative than a bald statement. And this invariably holds in art, in whatever phase. That which conjures up the vision, awakens either conscious or unconscious memory, arouses emotions positive or inexplicable, thrills with subtle ecstacy, or depresses with poignant melancholy that is the supreme art. It is in suggestion alone that art plays its climatic part in the drama of life. It is herein that the dramatic is so superlative. Its appeal is directly physical, sensory, but alive with suggestion. Music is, perhaps, greater in suggestion than any other art. But nonetheless is it present in the painting art and the success of the latter, or its failure, or its mediocrity lies, oftener than not, in this quality. Mr. Dennis's picture possesses this value. It is a bit of wind-blown woodland reminiscent of certain heavy-tinted days of autumn. Fresh and breezy and atmospheric. It is admirably, handled, with firm, deft pencil-work, and yet with an appreciation of those delicate nuances You'll Do Better

of which pastel is infinitely capable. There are faults a rather indefinite and messy sky-line and a flatness of sky and cloud but these are negligible. The picture is not great but it pos- ! sesses a charm and individual appeal, that, in turn, animates with a desire j to see more of this artist's product. Another interesting picture, which will later be shown in the Star Piano Company's window, is a landscape painted by W. A. Eyden, of this city, and which was one of the striking canvases in the recent annual exhibition of Indiana art in the Herron Art Institute, Indianapolis. This, also, is a bit of Woodland, "Morning," and breathes the spirit of the early day. Its composition is harmonious and attractive and its details carefully considered. Mr. Eyden, Vho has a native genius for color, has succeeded admirably in depicting the luminous tones of a wood Interior at this time of the morning, and the allurement of ! the cool distances of the worxia This picture was spoken very highly of by the members of the jury which passed upon the canvasses recently submitted for the Indiana exhibit. Charles Clawson, who is now in Cincinnati studying with the Cincinnati School of Art, where he entered the life class, is being successful in that city in the sale and disposition of his work. Mr. Clawson, who has not heretofore painted the figure but devoted himself to landscape, has been fortunate, recently, in getting commissions for portraiture, having painted Mr. Samuel Taft and other of the well known citizens of Cincinnati. Mr. Clawson, whose work has heretofore had a strong decorative bent, is possessed of versatility, Instanced by "his success in the life class and in portrait painting, and his advantage of youth, in addition to his talents, gives promise of brilliant achievement. Mr. John Seaford, who is back In Indiana for, the summer, and who has been drawing a brilliant series of pictures of old and new Boston for the Boston Herald, has an interesting sketch of an old man's head in the windows of the Star Piano Company. Mr. Seaford is primarily a black and white artist and has, in this phase of his art, no superior in this country. Fame is an accident of fortune, frequently, and, under another star, Seaford should be one of the leading artists of his class in this country. Neither Peixotto nor Castaigne has ever excelled Seaford in his pencil presentments. Had this artist turned his attention at Druitt Brothers' Regular $26.50 quality 9x12 Axminster Rugs in a large assortment of patterns, both floral and Oriental.

It Is Nice to Find a Friend Who Scat ter Sunshine. "I don't like people who are always coming to me for sympathy." "They do get tiresome, but I prefer them to the ones who come boasting of their successes and trying to make me dissatisfied with my lot." "Oh. 1 don't mind that kind. They never worry me any. 1 am always so successful myself that 1 never have cause to envy them. And. speaking of success. I made $500 last week in a little real estate deal, and my boy has been making a great record in school. He's away ahead of all the other boys of his age, and my wife has a maid now who is the best girl we have ever bee able to find the best one in our neighborhood, in fact. How is your boy doing now? I beard some time 'ago that be was inclined to be rather wild." "Please don't mention him. I'm afraid he Is going to bring sorrow upon us. You always were lucky. 1 guess I'll have to lose the little home I've been paying on during the past eight years, all on the boy's account My wife has had to quit keeping help, although her health is very poor and" "Well, goodby.

GREEN STILL FIGHTS UNDERTAKERS Of course you do not intend to be close in providing for the proper burial of the dead. It is only human to want the departed to have every attention you can bestow. But it doesn't follow that you need be extravagant. On the contrary your obligation to the living should be considered before you are wasteful in reference to the dead. Therefore, when your undertaker "kindly offers" to make arrangements for cab service, thank him and look after it yourself. He directs your attention to this extortion first, because he knows I will be on hand at once to offer you more .reasonable rates. By dealing directly with me, you save the difference between the undertakers' prices, $4.00 and $5.00, and my prices, $3.00 and $3.50, for the same service. Do not let the undertaker persuade you that my drivers are incompetent, my vehicles and horses of inferior quality. They are not. They are the best to be had and you will be convinced by asking any one who Jias been prudent enough to save the difference between my reasonable charges and the trust prices imposed by those who pretend to be your friends in time of bereavement. ' The undertakers have divided this unfair profit with certain liverymen for the past ten years. IT MUST STOP. I will refund your money if the service I render is not wholly satisfactory.
