About sixty of the young men and 
boys of the town met at the Town 
hall last evening to hear the reports 
of committees appointed at first meet- 
ing and to appoint a nominating com- 
mittee of the Manchester athletic as- 
sociation. The crowd was orderly 
and a great deal of business was trans- 
asted. ‘The meeting was called to or- 
der by Frederick L. Smith, chairman. 
The building committee, consisting of 
F. L. Sith, John Gillis, George Bea- 
ton and George Fleming, reported that

young men and boys willing to join 
the association and 24 names of busi- 
ness men interested and the majority 
of whom will join; the organigation 
committee, F. L. Smith, F. I. Floyd 
and Gordon Northrup, stated that 
they had met the Resolutions Commit- 
tee, formed by the various organiza- 
tions of the town, and had given the 
above named committee an outline of 
the proposed association, the build- 
ing under consideration and plans for 
its alteration to meet the requirements 
of the young men of Manchester. The

was appointed. This committee will 
meet at the home of the chairman, 
Louis Hutchinson, tomorrow evening 
and will make its report at the next 
association meeting when the officers 
for the ensuing year will be elected. 
Louis Hutchinson was also appointed 
temporary treasurer. 
The interest which the young men 
and, too, the older men, are taking in 
the organization of an athletic asso- 
ciation is most gratifying and there 
seems every reason to hope that Man- 
chester’s besetting evil—lack of occu- 
pation and recreation for her young 
men—will soon be abolished. 
A good story is told of Raymond 
Hitchcock, who is coming to Salem in 
January in “The Red Widow.” The 
actor was playing the small cities of 
the West, and when a week’s booking 
landed him in Los Angeles, he met an 
old friend in the profession who was 
jealous of the success of Mr. Hitch- 
cock in his play. Hitchcock’s friend 
was running a stock company and had 
been playing to poor houses for sever- 
al weeks. 
After the first performance of “The 
Red Widow” in Los Angeles the 
stock actor met Hitchcock in a leather 
goods store where the latter was buy- 
ing a number of new trunks. “Get- 
ting ready to take away the week’s 
box office receipts,” sarcastically re- 
marked the stock-actor. Hitchcock 
said nothing, but next day he met his 
friend again on the street. His stock 
company friend was suffering with a 
toothache, and Hitchcock asked to see 
the tooth which was bothering him. 
He opened the actor’s mouth and re- 
marked, “Well, if you haven’t gone 
and hid the box-office receipts of your 
own show in the cavity of your tooth.” 
Which remark did not help said tooth- 
ache one bit. 
Women are very much in evidence 
these days, and two demonstrations 
that have shown their vigor and pro- 
gressiveness are the march of the suf- 
fragists from New York City to the 
Capitol at Albany, and the efforts of 
women at Philadelphia to lower prices 
on the staple foodstuffs used by the 
housewives in that city. In the latter 
cause the women have been quite suc- 
cessful, and the suffragist ‘phalanx 
which is marching to Albany makes 
even the non-sympathizer of the move- 
ment itself admire this unique adver- 
tisement of the cause of votes for 
women. The hike promises to make 
business good for the shoe dealers as 
the contingent intends to travel at 
least ten miles each day. All the 
frills usually forming a part of the 
lady’s wardrobe have been tabooded 
on this march of the suffragists, - 
low-necks and pumps being saved un- 
til they return to their homes. Al- 
though Philadelphia is sometimes 
termed the “sleepy city” its women 
are stirring up the storekeepers to such 
an extent that prices are continually 
falling in the products the women are 
selling at low prices. 
Most of us mortals are more or less 
forgetful, but the trick that a North 
Shore man’s memory played on 
him one night recently, makes us 
award him the blue ribbon for bad 
memories. Mr. Blank had spent an 
evening at the Boston Opera House 
with his wife. He had enjoyed the 
music immensely and was humming 
snatches of a song that he had heard 
when he entered the North Station 
to take his train. After he had pass- 
ed the gates to the train shed, he 
thought he had lost something, but 
after thinking hard, could not seem to 
recollect what he had left behind. As 
he boarded the 11.24 train a bright 
(?) idea came to him that his wife 
was among the missing, so he elected 
himself a charter member of the For- 
getters’ Club, and hied himself back to 
the Opera House, where he found 
friend wife patiently waiting for him.
