Added Success for ‘‘The New 
Minister.’ 
‘‘The New Minister,’’ the play 
which was given under the auspices 
of the Ladies’ Social Circle so suc- 
cessfully Thursday evening, of last 
week, at the Manchester Town Hall, 
was repeated Monday evening of 
this week to a well-filled house and 
was again generally conceded to be 
the greatest success of any amateur 
performance ever’ presented in 
Manchester. To Mrs. Leach, as 
director, everyone gave unstinted 
and well-merited praise. Consider- 
ing that Mrs. Leach had taken hold 
only two weeks prior to the first per- 
formance it must be admitted that 
she accomplished wonders. It was 
Mrs. Frank P. Knight who brought 
‘““The New Minister’? to Manches- 
ter. It was she, too, who assigned 
the parts and arranged with Mrs. 
Leach to direct. The faithfulness of 
Miss Jessie Hoare as pianist, in at-

tending all the rehearsals, is also 
deserving of special merit. Mem- 
bers of the High School orchestra 
assisted in the music. 
It is the general opinion of every- 
body that one of the star performers 
was Abbott Hoare, who as_ sex- 
ton was a genuine surprise to all. 
Mr. Hoare sang well and acted the 
part to perfection. 
Mrs. F. G. Cheever as ‘‘ Augusta 
Wind,—everybody’s friend,’’ also 
deserves special mention. The way 
she communicated information to the 
new minister was a caution. The 
poor clergyman didn’t have a chance 
to get a word in edgeways; even 
when she had asked him a question, 
she supplied the answer before he 
had uttered a word. 
All in all the performance was a 
splendid success on both nights and 
must have netted the Social Circle 
nearly $200, as the hall was crowd- 
ed both nights. 
MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
The Manchester Brotherhood held 
their regular meeting in the vestry 
of the Baptist church last Monday 
evening. The meeting was called to 
order by the president, Rev. A. G, 
Warner. After the reading of the 
minutes of the previous meeting the 
speaker of the evening was intro- 
duced. 
Rev. Dr. Walter S. Eaton of Mag- 
nolia, the speaker, used as his sub- 
ject, ‘‘Trifles.’? He talked) in a 
rambling manner, choosing incidents 
from history and life. 
During a battle in a foreign coun- 
try a general was unfortunate in 
having his helmet broken, which 
necessitated the wearing of a pri- 
vate’s helmet, thus disguising him 
from the enemy. 
This small trifle — 
in appearance saved the general’s 
life. 
Another incident was that which 
appeared in the recent newspapers 
of a quarrel started between two 
brothers over the upsetting of a 
bowl of gravy. 
getting angry with the other struck 
his brother with a knife, causing his 
One of the boys 
death. This all started from a little — 
quarrel, which at the beginning was 
only a trifle. 
A small boy was once under the 
guardianship of people who cared 
very little for his welfare. He spent 
a good part of his time sorting de- 
ecayed potatoes from the good ones 
in their cellar, putting up with 
cursing and abuse. 
people think that this mere trifle of 
a boy was to be their only means of 
support, which in time came true. 
The speaker related a number of 
others interesting stories and anec- | 
dotes, all of which proved most en-— 
joyable. : 
The usual collation and _ social 
hour was enjoyed. 
Annual Guest Night of Manchester 
Woman’s Club. 
The Manchester Woman’s club 
entertained its friends at its annual 
guest night at Town hall, Wednes- 
day evening. The officers of the 
club and members of the executive 
committee received and a_ buffet 
supper was served from half after 
six until eight o’clock. 
At eight o’clock Mrs. Grace K. 
Beaton, president, made welcome 
the guests of the evening and intro- 
duced the speaker, Rev. Herbert 
Spencer, who addressed the gather- 
ing on ‘‘Flat Wheels.’’ 
At the outset the speaker told a 
little about flat wheels in metal; the
