LEVERE AN ORGANIZER Mrs. McCulloch's Wit and Clever Comment on Words of Speakers Kept Great Crowd Happy. OX ADOH^ Mr. Wm,i> Tin: srtfh'AGi: bill. Bv a vote of y.i to j8 the bill grant- ing partial suffrage to women passed the Illinois house of representatives! has conceive Juno 11. which when it receives the the shore o' signature of Governor Dunne will be" manufp '" ' come a law in the state. By the pro-' island* tr 5 vlaions yf the bill, women in Illinois; park » may vote for all offices not created by mended the state constitution. They may have a voice in the choice of presidential electors, mayor, aldermen, municipal court Judges, sanitary trustees, and grata minor local officers. They may vote for assessors and members ot the board of review. The successful issue of the bill In the legislature la due in large meas- ure to the indefatigable work of the women who have advocated the cause of woman's suffrage in an energetic but entirely sane and responsible man- ner, not the least among whom has been Mrs. Cathaiiwe Wauoh McCut- ftocK of Evanston. After the passage of the bill. Mrs. Jamcs Mobmsom* secretary of the Chi- cago Equal Suffrage association, ex- pressed her attitude toward it thus: "The thing for the Illinois women |0 do now is to make good." Indeed, In oar opinion that Is the keynote in the light for complete suffrage which will be begun immediately. By ac- quitting themselves with dignity and reason in the exercise of the ballot on municipal questions, women may ef- fectually deprive opponents to the cause of their most reliable ammuni- tion. Verily it la a case of being faith- ful over a few things before being made ruler over many. The April primaries will offer to Illinois women their first opportu- nity to express themselves by ballot on municipal affairs. Might we suggest that the Intervening months be spent in some part by the women of the state in acquiring sufficient insight Into the questions which will be iBiely to arise. In following the offl- etal careers of the men who are prom- inent In the affairs of the city and in acquainting themselves in some meas- ure with political methods? Tin News Is with the women In this period of trial for their efficiency as voters. We would see the wisdom of the advocates of equal suffrage Jus- tified. We hope for nothing but good to result from the extension of the /franchise to women if they will but accept the responsibilities with the privilege and give to political maters the Intelligent consideration of which they are capable. * * * TO DO OOOD ON THE SABBATH Toe members of the Kenllworth Neighbors' club have opened their nearts again to the poor ot the con- districts of Chicago and will / a KE MICHIGAN 11 ' r *â-  Thompson, who rh< n-a of beautifying t !-'••- Michigan by the of a series of wooded irofh between Jackson on, must be com- -lagination whether ntio'ild prove to be &>3» his the I'lan I ic)"" feasible or not The ex«-uti"n of such an Idea sug- endl<-»» means of separating each of the luu.ooo persons, who are said to visit Chicago daily during the summer months, from the wealth which has been acquired by his dwell- ing in the remote places of the earth the other three hundred and sixty- four days. Surely as a source of In- come for certain forms of trades In the city, the chain of islands With their connecting lagoons seems to offer every advantage. The scenic effect is not quite so at- tractive. There are those of Chicago who consider the expanse of water given by Lake Michigan the most beautiful of views. It will be rathet difficult to persuade such that a series of small islands with more or less discolored water separating them from the shore will add anything to the beauty of the lake as it now stands. Most people, we believe, will prefer the unadorned beauty which already belongs to the Lake Michigan shore to any sort of summer resort or amuse ment park effect which should, team the Btranger within our gates to con- tribute of his savings to the income The largest public demonstration in the history of Evanston took place in Fountain square Saturday night, when the citizens turned oat en masse to pay their tribute of respect to the victorious suffrage leaders and to rejoice with them over their great victory of last week, when the women of Illinois were granted limited suf- frage by the state legislature. Though the suffrage leaders did not arrive at the square until long after 8 o'clock, Davis street was packed by 7 o'clock with thousands of men, women and children anxious to get a close glimpse qt Mrs. McCulloch an J the other leaders who have done so much in the Interest of the women of the state, and to bear the men slated to speak compliment them on their victory. Late in Starting. The parade, which started at Or- rlngton avenue and Noyes street, is front of the McCulloch home, was late in getting under headway owing to the late arrival of Mrs. McCulloch in the city following her return from th* state capital, where she had gone Fri day to take part in the big demonstra- tion at Springfield. But when the parade did begin *x> move everyone knew it A glare of red light shooting-op into the sky was the signal of the start This coutln ued until the parade arrived at ftma- tain square, the sky during all the time of march being Illuminated bs fireworks set off by young men en- gaged for the occasion by William C. Levere, who rode in the first automo- bile and directed the discharge of akjr rockets, sparklers and Roman can- dles.

Told of Success. ' After the bedlam had subsided, she made a few remarks, tailing of the success of the bill, and then Intro- duced President A. W. Harris of Northwestern university, whoso talk was highly complimentary to the women of the state and to Mrs. Mc- Culloch in particular. Following Dr. Harris, Mayor James Russell Smart was called upon, and he was followed on the "stump" by the Rev. George Whiteside, ijderoan Frank P. Dyche, Hon. William C. Levers, Judge Thomas C. Clark, Alderman Peter Humraelgaard, Alderman James Tornock, A. B. Dale, A. H. Bowman and James Duthle, president of the Evanaton Commercial association. As each speaker arose in the auto- mobile, cheer after cheer was set up. Mrs. McCulloch acted as master of ceremonies and kept the large crowd, which remained nntil the last speaker had completed his remarks, In the beat of humor by her witty remarks and clever comment on the words of the different speakers. Passed Resolution. At the conclusion ot the ceremony, she asked tor a vote upon a resolu- tion taking the mayor to write to of the legislature who supported the bill, expressing the thanks of the city ot BVanaton for their action. Naturally, the resoht- Ubn met with unanimous approval and was carried. The parade and fireworks wis made possible through the efforta of Wil- liam C. Levere, who early Saturday morning started a petltloD In clrcnia. tlon for the purpose of obtaining funds tor securing a band and the pnr- chase of flreworka.

The remaining six members of the family. Including Mrs. Bennett, are now in a convalescent stage. Margaret, 4 years old, youngest member of the family, died Monday morning frdfa the effects of the dis- ease following an illness of two weeks. She was the first to contract the epi- Aemio and because the attending pbyv sllctan was unable to diagnose the die* ease for four days, other members of the family who were in contact with the child, contracted the disease. The physician thought the ailment merely an aggravated form of tonsllitis until two other children were stricken four days after the nrst examination of the youngest child. Although she was attacked by the disease, Mrs. Bene*** only gave up one day during the siege of the quar- antine to her suffering. The remain- der of the time she kept close watch over the five sick children. The chil- dren who are now recovering are Charles, 12 years old; Clarence, 10 years old; William, 8 years old, and Elisabeth, 6 years old. The quaran- tine on the Bennett home probably will be raised next week. At the outset when the young daughter was stricken with the dis- ease, Mr. Bennett sdW not remain in the home, fearing quarantine. An effort is now being made by the health authorities to ascertain where the Bennett child contracted the dis- ease. She attended the Lincoln school kindergarten and a careful watch Is being kept at that institution to prevent the spread of the contagion. Joseph Hunter, one of the best ath- letes that ever donned a purple suit, is at the point of death In Los An- geles, Cal., according to reports re- ceived from the western city. The dispatches state he is suffering from cancer of the stomach. Relatives of the former Northwestern university athlete residing in Rockford, 111., have left for Los Angeles. It is said little hope Is held out for his recovery. Every old resident of Evanston and all the graduates of the school have heard of the daring deeds of this famous athlete on the gridiron. He is the only man ever to have been hon- ored by being selected three times to lead the Purple eleven. "Joe" came to Northwestern In 1896 and played quarter during; his freshman year on the great team made famous and cap- tained by Jesse Van Dooser. The fol- lowing year Hunter was chosen to lead the team. Wertt to the War. In 1898 Hunter left Northwestern to go to Rockford. where be became lieu- tenant of a Rockford company that went to the Spanlah-Amerlcan war. After the close of the wsr he returned to school and for two years led the Purple. During the final game of 1908 played between Northwestern Iowa "Joe" closed his football career by playing a remarkable game. Through bis tackling and generalship the Par- pie managed to came out with a 6 to 5 tie, giving Northwestern an equal claim to tye western championship, as Iowa had "cleaned up" every team in the west The week before the Purple game Iowa defeated Michigan by a one- sided score. Besides being a great football play- er Hunter, was a star in all lines of athletics. He waa one of the beat low hurdle racers in the country and his record stood for many years in this event He also was the pitcher on the baseball team, and at the close of his college days was sought by a num- ber of major league teams.
