ARRIVALS 
ARE now the order of things. 
Ir was only a few long—not short— 
weeks ago that ‘“‘departures’’ were a 
matter of weekly record in our columns. 
Tue Journal placed the crowd that 
visited the Chelsea ruins Sunday at 
500,000; the Herald, 150,000. That’s 
newspaper license with a vengeance! 
Ie one thinks business is not on the in- 
crease and the North Shore season is not 
up to standard thus far, just glance 
through the pages of the BREEZE; see 
the new advertisements; and the old ad- 
vertisements; and the number of ad- 
vertisements. 
A MEETING Is to be heldat the office 
of the Manchester Board of Selectmen 
next Monday evening at 7.30 o’clock to 
take some organized action toward rais- 
ing,money for the Chelsea Relief fund. 
Manchester has always been very liberal 
in matters of this kind and there will, no 
doubt, be a good sized attendance on 
this occasion.

Topay, April 25, is Arbor Day. 
Lieut-Gov. Draper issued the proclama- 
tion yesterday week, —the first proclama- 
tion ever signed by him and the first Ar- 
bor Day proclamation ever signed by a 
Lieutenant-Governor. One _ sentence 
in the proclamation which deserves heed 
is: ‘* Any person who assists in this 
good work of planting trees, will deserve 
and receive the thanks of their children’ s 
children.’’ 
IT is very evident that Manchester has 
another problem on its hands in the mat- 
ter.of purchasing the Manchester Elec- 
tric Co., which will involve the expendi- 
ture of $150,000 or more within a year 
ortwo. ‘The option which the town 
has of purchasing the plant expires next 
September. In view of the fact that the 
town has the very important problem on 
its hands at present of an additional wa- 
ter supply it seemed best to have this 
option extended if possible. “The com- 
pany refuses to extend the option, how- 
ever, one reason being that there are at 
least two prospective purchasers and the 
company would like to known just what 
the town desires to do. In other words 
if the town wants the plant the company 
would like to know it, and they will goso 
far as to offer to sell the plant for $150,- 
000 and extend the time of payment for 
two years. 
It appears to us that it would be very 
unwise for the Town of Manchester to 
let this opportunity go by, and _ thus have 
some other company come into the town 
to run the plant. 
WHISPERINGS 
Snakes five feet long in Manchester! 
This will sound fabulous to some; it will 
send the cold shivers chasing each other 
up and down the vertebral column of 
others. However it is true, for the 
other night one of the Manchester men 
engaged in the moth work, just off Pine 
street, brought a black snake into the 
office. It was dead. It measured 5 
feet 1 inch. He had killed it that 
morning. 
* %* * 
Those who get to business early morn- 
ings were treated to a little excitement 
Wednesday morning at the hair-dressing 
parlors under the _postoffice. Mr. 
Keenan, the proprietor, rooms in the 
block. When he opened his place 
Wednesday morning he found that 
someone had put a lock on the iron gate 
and consequently our good friend was 
locked in. He was good for the emer- 
gency, however, and procuring a step 
ladder in the building he climbed over. 
Pretty soon the services of our good 
blacksmith, Horace Standley, were se- 
cured and the lock was cut off. 
Democratic Caucuses. 
The Manchester Democratic caucus 
was held in the Selectmen’s room, Town 
hall, Wednesday evening. ‘T. C. Rowe 
was elected permanent chairman and C. 
C. Dodge, secretary. Eleven votes 
were cast, the result of which was that 
Benjamin H. Corliss was elected dele- 
gate to the State convention, and Frank 
A. Foster to the Congressional conven- 
tion. It was the sense of the caucus 
that the delegate to the congressional 
convention support Charles A. Russel of 
Gloucester as delegate to the Denver 
convention. While no instructions were 
given the delegates it is understood the 
delegates will favor the nomination of 
William Jennings Bryan for President. 
At Beverly Farms the caucus was held. 
in Marshall’s lower hall, there being 
eight votes cast. John C. McCarthy 
was chairman and Lawrence J. Watson, 
secretary. “[Chomas J. McDonnell was 
elected delegate to the state convention 
and John McCarthy tothe district con- 
vention. 
New Sacred Heart Church. 
Next Sunday will witness the last cele- 
bration of Mass in the old Sacred Heart 
church. ‘To the good people who have 
worshipped there during the last thirty- 
six years, the occasion will bring regret; 
for the old building, plain and unadorned 
though it be, has been for them asymbol 
of self-sacrifice. 
At the late Mass (10.30 o’clock) the 
pastor will give a sketch of Catholicity 
in this part of the state. 
The new church, to be opened with- 
out any formal ceremony of dedication, 
will be made ready for services next 
week. ‘The pews are in position; and 
all that remains to be accomplished is 
the work of transferring the altars and 
the organ. 
It is hoped that financial conditions 
will allow of the building of permanent 
altars next year. 
A week’s mission (or Catholic revival) 
will begin in the new church, Sunday, 
May 3.
