Mrs. Harriet Decker. 
Mrs. Harriet Decker, widow of the 
late Col. Jefford Decker passed away at 
her home in Meriden, N. H., last Sun- 
day, April 19, and her remains were 
brought to Manchester for burial, Tues- 
day. Services were held at the Crowell 
Memorial chapel and interment was in 
the family lot in Unioncemetery. Rev. 
L. H. Ruge officiated. 
Mrs. Decker was a native of Man- 
chester, a daughter of the late Isaac Lee. 
She was in her 91st year. She leaves 
two daughters, Mrs. Mary L. William- 
son, with whom she made her home in 
Meriden, and another who lives in the 
west. A sister, Mrs. Rufus Standley of 
Magnolia, also survives her. 
Col. Decker was at one time—before 
the war—proprietor of the Manchester 
House. 
Hollis Street Theatre. 
Robert Edeson, who has come to be 
regarded as avery great Boston favorite, 
will play his annual engagement in that 
city at the Hollis commencing next 
~ Monday evening, April 27. He will be 
seen this year in “‘Classmates’’ a play 
of West Point life by William C. 
deMille and Margrret Turnbull. Mr. 
deMille, it will be recalled, wrote 
“*Strongheart’’ in which Mr. Edeson 
scored such an unqualified success last 
season. ‘‘ Classmates ’’ was produced at 
the Hudson theatre, New York, last fall 
and enjoyed a highly prosperous engage- 
ment there of over four months. The 
piece is regarded as Mr. Edeson’s great- 
est triumph. It gives him an opportu- 
nity to portray one of thosé fascinating 
military characters in which he finds 
such a prolific field for his fine ability. 
Mr. Edeson’s engagement will be for 
two weeks only and he will play the 
usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees. 
Considering his widespread popularity 
and the excellence of his present play he 
is assured a most cordial reception when 
he comes to the Hollis. 
“The increase in ccycling,’’ remarks 
a Baltimore paper, ““ has not been con- 
fined to any one class, for the bicycle 
awaits the pleasure of everyone. The 
business man finds in it an unequaled 
means of recreation, the workingman, 
the cheapest and quickest mode of travel, 
while the young and strong fill the ranks 
of the clubs and furnish, in bicycle rac- 
ing, a sport unrivaled in interest both to 
the participant and the spectator. Nor 
is the interest confined to any one _ por- 
tion of the country, as is plainly shown 
in the construction during the past year 
of bicycle race tracks in San Francisco, 
Salt Lake City and Boston, and the re- 
vival of cycling clubs all over the 
country.
