'V AGEO WILHETTE IS Mathias Blocks, One of Oldest Residents of Wilmette and Well Known Rjneral Di- rector Dies Tuesday. FATHER OF URGE FAMILY Prominent Village {Pioneer Leaves Eight Children and Sixteen Grand Children-Lived in Suburb FortyFivrlYears. Prof. A. E. Munler, formerly an In- structor at Evanston academy and Lake Forest college, has abandoned Ills pedagogical pursuits for the more remuinrative position behind the counter of his own peanut wagon. He days hr can make $200 a month In this lii.e, while, his salary as an in- structor was never more than $180 a month. When interviewed by a re- porter, he said that he intended to stick at his new vocation. "There is more money in it and more fun, so why shouldn't I quit being a teacher? Then think of all the fresh air I get. Before, I spent most of my time in a Btuffy class room trying to tell stu- dents something they apparently didn't want to learn." Just as the erstwhile professor was making this I remark a couple of co-eds came with- | in ear range. Immediately Mr. , Munler looked in their direction and shouted, "Peanuts, popcorn, 5 cents , a bag. You can't beat them. They are double-decked and of the jumbo variety." "You see this has got teaching beat a mile," he said, as he handed each a bag and pocketed the 10-cent piece. "WHITE SISTER" PROVES HIT AT THE EVANSTON Theater Patrons Pleased With This Week's Offering by Stock Company. Marion Crawfokd needs no introduc- tion to the JSvanston public. The genius of that popular novelist is an established and recognized fact; his charm is acknowledged and enjoyed by all lovers of a good story. The name of Marion Crawford on the bill of the Bvanston theater for this week is, therefore, of itself, suffi- cient guarantee of the excellence' of the-production there. The fact that the scene of the play is laid in Italy, the beloved adopted land of the au- thor, convinces one who has neither Tead nor seen it, that the opportunity to enjoy "The White Sister" is one not to be neglected. Many Excellent Points. There are so many excellent points to be considered in the week's pro-, *ram that it is hard to know just "where to begin. Perhaps the stage arrangement furnishes the best start- ing point. The settings are simple b» the extreme, but none the less ef- fective for that. There are but three â€"the hall of the convent hospital, the cloistered garden, and the rooms of Capt. Giovanni Sever!. There is but little "room in the first and the last for display, and it is Just in d«- 4 Stating from any attempt to beautify the severity of the convent setting that the success of'the effort lies. .The garden la somewhat more elab- orate, but stm of so unobtrusive a nature as scarcely to arrest the at- tention of those who are witnessing the worknig ont of the drama. 8mall Cast. The play is compelling in the in- teasjty 0f tts interest. The cast is .';-.. *taall, the roles extremely well Played by the principals in the stock company. The white robes of the 7W»na, the dignity and repose of their tfaanner serve as striking contrasts to the agony of soul, which is the «* of Sister Gtovanna and her lover. Returned after his death had been *Johrned for Ave years, only to find ^irrevocable vows have been j*oken ©y the woman who was to =**« been his wife. The play 1» ***.yes, but full of power and the ^gfoar of the victory of honor over •-; â- *:m:mm&m> pt the P»wW Of, the church of Rome over its de- votees, the power to the Protestant mind bordering upon tyranny, but so simple and natural to the Catholic trained, "The White Sister" is well worth attention. Fine Acting. The work of the players in the play is exceptionally Sne. Miss Redd showed ability last night which has not before been a part of her work in .our stock company. She was, in reality, the "leading lady," for about her bung the whole action of the play. She dominated in every instance. If her performance last night is to be taken as a criterion of her capabil- ities, the people of Evanston have every reason to rejoice in the pres- ence of Miss Redd in the Evanston Stock company. There was no con- sciousness of her audience, no lack of spontaneity in her work. You will want to see "The White 8ister." You ought to see it, for your own sake and for the encourage- ment of the players to give of their best, and of the management to pro- vide plays which are worth seeing. KIRKMANS IN NARROW ESCAPE FROM INJURY Careless Automobile Driver Runs Into Their Machine on Sheridan Road. Mr. and Mrs. Jay Kirkman, Ridge avenue and Lake street, had a nar- row escape from serious injury Mon- day night about 6:30 o'clock, when a careless autoist driving north in Sher- idan road, near the Saddle and Cycle club, Chicago, collided with the Kirk- man anto. Mr. and Mrs. Kirkman were southbound and were on the right side of the thoroughfare. The northbound autoist turned, as if to give the roadway, and then deliber- ately swerved his car and ran head- on Into the Kirkman machine.

Mrs. Stahi suffered severe cuts and bruises about the face and shoulders from the flying glass. The wounds are very painful, but her con- dition is not considered serious by the attending physicians. Mrs. Stahi was alone in the auto and was descending the Church street hill when the accident happened. The pavement was wet and slippery, and before she could apply the brake, the auto began to slip and slide, at the same time gaining momentum. At the impact, Mrs. Stahi was thrown forward and the flying glass from the crash flew in all directions, several pieces being imbedded in her flesh. She suffered a long cut on the right cheek, the most serious of the wounds. The injured woman did not lose consciousness and directed pedes- trians, who rushed to her assistance, to remove her to her home, less than a block away. Drs. Barry and Parkes were called and dressed the wounds.

TWO AUTOACPIDENTS IN HIGHLAND PARK Evanston Woman Suffers Bro- ken Collar Bone When Car Overturnsâ€"Two Men Hurt. rcr m ^itlUPHl.' m 111 sm mm Candidates in The Lake Shore New* AuidrtobiU Contest Given Splendid Opportunity to Make Large 1fcto*%. â-  This Week by 400,000 i^^gf!^^0^i - Because of the magnitude of the present offer, this week will in all probability decide "who's who" in the great race, and It behooves those ladles and gentlemen who want to sea their names among tho wtanors at the grand finale to take all advantages possible ofthis golden opporinnity for extra votes. It has been rumored that a little later oh In the contest a larger and better offer will be, made. * This Is absolutely false. The 400,000 vote offer now in effect is positively the biggest and the best offer thoA has or will be made under any circumstances.- „>â- ; ',:'(^r':\ T Only three more days remain in which to gath»f1^l"iiisHiMtoii for the big bonuses. Those candidates who do some hustling these next three days are going to be winners of this election as rare a* fate, md those who allow this offer to pass by without obtaining one or more off tbo «O0.000 vote vouchers will be out of toe race completely. Now, to which class do yott belongâ€"the winners or the loeeri? H*» all up to you, and this week, wlthi Its big 400,000 offer, will telt the tale. Re- member that this offer holds good only until 10 p. m., Saturday, Oct. 4. After that the 400,000 vote offer will be a thing of the past, and the regular sched- ule wiil be greatly reduced. Here it Is Thursday, and though in a way "tomorrow" never comos, yet "tomorrow" will soon be Saturday, marking the close of the big vote offer. The office of the contest department will be open until 10 p. m» Any sub- scriptions mailed Saturday .night *rlll be counted for the big vote, Be sure to get those subscriptions either into the contest rooms Wore 10 p. m. or into the nostoffice before midnight Saturday. " These last hours of the big vote find everyone exoited, and if yon make your request for a subscription in your favor just at this time you will find all your friends ready to listen to you and oblige you at once. There will be no more delays. No more saying, "Call again." You can Bhow them too well how important it is that they should give yott all the help they can right now. When you begin to feel a little tired on your rounds tomefrrow; you must say to yourself, "After today I will have to do more work to) secure the same results." That thought will spar you on to make a better effort. Another stimulating thought is that every other earnest candidate is going to make a point of seeing as many people as he possibly can before Saturday night. If you fail to see your friends, there will he no lack of those who will get to them whh a request for a subscription. Perhaps this request will be made In a very pressing way, and when you go later to try for a year's sub- scription from some one whom you know well, he will already hare given his subscription to your rival. The greatest merit a candidate can have la to be persevering and ener- getic. It is precisely this that is going to bring you out at the top when the game is over. Those who are deciding that they have not persistence to keep It up arc dropping from the ranks. This is pretty good for those who remito- AU the best candidates find fewer and fewer opponents, but then those who are ranged against them are of the same calibre as themselves, and mast be reckoned with seriously,^.....,. ..^ \ _ ,.„fciV;>_ ..,-..,...., .«,,-.,â-  \,r-v. When you see that mere are only a half dozen in your dtetrict who are making steady gains, you will feel that your chances of winning are splendid. So they will be. At the close there will hardly be more than that number of really active candidates to each district. These half dozen will be picked men and women and boys and girls who are of the right material for success. The greajt point at present, before you can be fully aware of the thinning of the ranks, is to keep right along, hoeing your own row, not worrying about the other fellow. For the present do not even stop to think of the end of the contest. Every minute now is too precious. You must go out at a run and get every subscription you can. You will rest easy Sunday if you do your very best until Saturday night at 10 o'clock. SUBWAY SPEEDERS TO BE NABBED BY POLICE BALL GAME A TIE.
