On motion of W. R. Bell the priy-

Mr. Brown said the lights had

The Legacy of the Office. 
Party insurgency may not add to 
the elements of happiness for the 
President, but there is nothing in 
the situation that is at all surprising. 
It worked up to such a growth un- 
der Taft that bills were frequently 
killed, simply beeause the President 
favored them. It was the same way 
19 
under Colonel Roosevelt, who spent 
his latter years in office in continual 
warfare with Congress. McKinley, 
Harrison and Cleveland met the 
same conditions. Before the civil 
war the administrative and legisla- 
tive branches of the government oc- 
easionally agreed, but since that 
time harmony has always appeared 
with the advent of a new party into 
power, but when the fruit was 
shaken off the plum tree, the trouble 
began. President Wilson has simply 
inherited a legacy of his office. 
MANCHESTER 
Mr. William Hooper is to give a 
short talk before the Pastor’s Bible 
class of young men at the Congrega- 
tional parsonage tomorrow evening. 
The last lecture in the series on

Manchester Woman’s Club, will be

In the disastrous fire of March 3, 
which gutted the building, 4 to 12 
High st., Boston, the offices of A. C. 
Needham were completely  de- 
stroyed with all their contents. Mr. 
Needham had a very valuable eol- 
lection of old ship models and oil 
paintings, and among these were 
two paintings by Marshall Johnson, 
one by Eskil Rossing, one by Valen- 
hamph,. one by Myron Clark and 
five by Worden Wood, together 
with many, famed pictures of New 
Bedford whalers and old square rig- 
gers. His greatest loss was a large 
model of a four-masted ship, fully 
rigged, and considered the finest of 
its kind in Boston, and two models 
(one six feet long) of ships pre- 
sented him by Marshall Johnson, 
the marine painter. His losses also 
included some valuable fur skins 
and Hast India curios, together with 
records of fifteen years’ business 
with his foreign connections.
