Hereafter E. J. Moore, the keeper of the Evanston lighthouse, will look to Milwaukee as the headquarters of his district instead of to Chicago, as has been the case In the past. The department of commerce has officially deserted Chicago as a port of entry. Acting Secretary Sweet ordered the headquarters of the twelfth lighthouse district be transferred to Milwaukee. As the chief reason the acting secre- tary stated Milwaukee il a far more important port; having 18,157,478 an- nual tonnage, as against 8,477,772 for Chicago. Representatives Madden and MeAn- drews of Illinois made a pies to re- tain the headquarters in Chicago, and Representative Hamilton of Michigan asked that the office be transferred to St. Joe. The change to Milwaukee was recommended by O. R. Putnam, chief of the lighthouse service, and ratified by Secretary Redneld. Among the other reasons, besides the difference In tonnage, the assist- ant secretary states Milwaukee Is more favorably- situated than Chicago, being eighty miles nearer the center of the district, while Chicago Is at one extreme; that Milwaukee Is near- er to 29 relief stations than Chicago. If Diogenes were to come to Evans- ton to pursue his search for an honest man, he would end his journey in the Evanston theater, where the "Gentle- man from Mississippi" is to be found this week. The management of the theater has made a particularly happy choice in the production for this week. "The Gentleman From Mississippi," by Har- rison Rhodes and Thomas' Wise, is just the sort of play which makes Evanston glad in the possession of a playhouse such as the Evanston, and of the presence In It of a company so proficient as the Evanston Stock company. Polities Play's Theme. But to the play. Politics is the theme, politicians the charactersâ€" politicians of various types and de- grees of honesty and corruption.

Miss Edith S. Relder, raperlntendent of the Cen- tral Association of Evanston charities, is besieged with calls from the many poor families already and the problem of dealing vfth this large addition of poor residents in cold weather, looms ahead as a tertous one. A few days ago Police Jsagistrate Boyer and another city official were discussing city conditions. A- an tlon arose concerning Bhranstoa'a large negro population.

Especially Interesting was the work. of Augusta Durgeon and Edward Ewald, both new members of the Stock company, who have hitherto been seen only In rather unimportant roles. Efforts Well Received; Their efforts last night were veil received by the audience, who felt not only the satisfaction of enjoying their acting at the time, but felt the additional gratification of realizing that the principals in the Stock com- pany are far better supported this sea- son than has been true in the past The management mast be congrat- ulated upon the consistency of the stage settings and upon the zest with which the whole play moved. The waits between the acts are not the tedious experiences this season that they have been, and the move- ment of the play is much unproved. In fact, the added "zip" is one of the best features of the Evanston Stock company as it now stands, an im- provement which must react In a very appreciable way upon the success of this year's season at the Evanston. Daily News Candidates There. In the audience last night were many who had availed themselves of the opportunity to see "The Gentle- man Prom Mississippi"-contained In Manager Minturn's very generous offer to participants in The Daily News automobile contest Evanston will be well represented at the dog show that will be held Sat- urday, Sept 20, at Bismarck Garden, Chicago, for a number of dosj fan- ciers will have entries, and a goodly share of the prize money and hand- some silver trophies offered at this show will doubtless be brought home by Evanston dogs. - First and foremost of the kennels owned la Evanston are the Vickery kennels of terriers, the property of Mrs. Augusta Crawford and Charles H. Perrin. These kennels have an international reputation, having won prises at leading shows all over the United States and in Great Britain. At the coming Bismarck show they will be represented by an entry of crack Airedales, among which will probably be the great International champions, Prince of York and Tin- tern Royalist; Vickery Emperor, a dog Imported from Germany; Vickery Lodestar, an exceptionally fine home- bred specimen, together with the Eng- lish champion, Springbank Sunshine, recently Imported specially for this show, and champion Vickery Sou- brette. Other Airedale exhibitors from the north shore will be Br. C. G. Darling, Hubbard Woods, whose Krestly ken- nels are well known, and -T. P. Davis, WUmette, who is to bench a home- bred puppy said to be remarkably per- fect ~ In the Boston terrier ring, Clar- ence H. Witt, Evanston, will doubt- less have a winner or two, while Messrs. Seeley and Farnham of WU- mette have always been very suc- cessful exhibitors of this popular breed.' Evanston will be represented in the -English bulldog competitions by F. L. Beck, while from KennU- worth wUl come the entries of AJex- ander H. Stewart owner of one of the strongest bulldog kennels in the middle west A. C. Madden, Qlencoe, can also be counted on to have good ones In this breed's classes. Among the exhibitors of French bulldogs will be Mrs. A. Tooke, Evanston, and A. H. Spiegel, Winnetka. Glencoe will furnish the judge of the collies in H. B. Hungerford, one of the oldest breed- ers of this variety in the country, and a man whose opinion is much sought This show is the fourth one given at Bismarck Garden by the Associated Specialty clubs, a combination of the local organizations devoted to English and French buUdogs, collies, Aire- dales and Boston terriers. The show is a popular one, and draws entries from all over the country, so that at it may be seen the finest dogs of these breeds that are owned in America. The show this year promises to fur- nish the closest competition that has ever been seen in Chicago, and prob- ably more fine dogs win be on exhibi- tion than ever before. Besidei the special Importation of the Airedale Sprlngback Sunshine by the Vickery kennels, other dogs have been brought across the Atlantic for this show. These Include the buUdogs, Aetna Mystical and CrumsaU Actor, owned respsctlvely by Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Edwards and Z. Z. Jackson, and the Airedale, Rustling Ruth, now the prop- erty of Henry Knott.

Evanston members of the Illinois Equal Suffrage association are mak- ing plans to attend the big meeting; of the association which has just been announced by the president of the as- sociation to be held In Peoria on No- vember 6, 7, 8 and 9. It is estimated that more than 5,000 women, from all parts ot the state, will attend the convention, which will be the first meeting of the state or- ganization since the signing of the suffrage bill by Gov. Dunne. In addi- tion to the women, most of the legis- lators who were instrumental In the passage qf the suffrage message have promised to be present "to get ac- quainted" with the new voters. On the last day of the convention state officers of the organisation wlb be elected for the WMMtfitg year. It fs expected that Mrs. Trout of Chicago will be re-elected as president In order that the headquarters of the organita- tion may remain in Chicago.
