CHANGE IN TRAIN SCHEDULE. 
On account of the possibilities of 
a severe tax upon transportation fa- 
cilities on the railroads, the B. & M., 
in common with other lines, will can- 
cel some of the trains on the Glou- 
cester branch, when the changes go 
into effect on June 25, it is announced. 
Richard Tull, Jr., 
passenger department said upon being 
interviewed in regard to the matter 
by Mayor Stoddart of Gloucester, 
that the railroad management realized 
the large summer traffic on the Glou- 
cester branch, and for that reason 
were not inclined to disturb the pres- 
ent arrangement of trains any more 
than was actually necessary, but un- 
der the request made by the national 
defence committee, they felt compel- 
led to make as great a reduction as 
was possible. ; 
Mr. Tutt, however, stated that the 
cutting off of two trains on the Glou- 
cester branch was. being considered. 
The Magnolia - Gloucester express, 
leaving Gloucester at 8.06 and on the 
return leaving Boston at 4.58, would 
discontinued, de- 
spite the fact it had become a most 
popular train for Cape Ann and Mag- 
nolia people during the summer 
months. The other train mentioned 
as being in all probability discon- 
tinued, is the 7.09 out of Boston 
mornings, and returning, leaves Rock- 
port at 9.03. 
Sunday trains spoken of as being 
discontinued are the II a. m. and 7.10 
p. m. from Boston, and 4.17 and 8.43 
p. m. from Rockport. 
MAINE TRAINS TO STOP AT SALEM. 
As a result of several conferences 
between Supt. John Burke of the 
- Boston & Maine R. R. and officials of 
the Salem and Lynn Chambers of 
Commerce as well as members of the 
transportation committee of the Es- 
sex County Associated Boards of 
Trade, train 71 now leaving Boston 
at 7.30 p. m, for Portland and points 
farther east will stop at Salem on 
flag signal to take on passengers for 
Portland or points farther east. This 
train heretofore did not stop at Salem, 
but did stop on signal at Lynn. 4 Vi 
Lynn stop is to be discontinued. 
Another change brought about by 
the conference that will be welcomed 
by patrons of the B. & M. is the stop- 
ping on flag signal at Lynn of train 
127 leaving Boston at 10 p. m. to take 
on passengers for Portland and Bar 
Harbor and intermediate stopping 
points between Portland and Bar 
Harbor. This train has been running 
express from Boston to Portsmouth. 
The changes mentioned above will 
be of greater convenience to traveling 
of the general .

B. F. Kerru’s THEATRE. 
The week of June 11th has been set 
aside as Marine Recruiting Week all 
over the country, and as a special 
feature, the management of B. F. 
Keith’s Theatre has arranged to pre- 
sent every evening, at the close of the 
regular performance, a company of 
United States Marines upon the 
stage. These 16 picked men, under 
the direction of Captain John Quincy 
Adams, will give an exhibition bayonet 
drill, introducing the very latest 
wrinkles in trench fighting as invent- 
ed by the armies abroad. The Ma- 
rines will appear at the evening per- 
formances only. The regular vaude- 
ville bill next week is exceptionally 
strong. Florence Moore, star of 
“Hanky Panky” and many Winter 
Garden shows, assisted by her broth- 
er, Frank Moore, will present a series 
of musical comedy surprises original 
with them. 
Tur New PARAGON PARK. 
A new Paragon Park has arisen at 
Nantasket Beach as by magic from 
the ruins of the big fire of last fall. 
It is the very last word in modern 
amusement parks; entirely rebuilt it 
is bigger and better in every way. The 
new structure has been erected at an 
expense totalling nearly half a mil- 
lion dollars. 
To Hugh Cairns, the well known 
Boston sculptor was intrusted the 
modelling of the highly ornate and 
artistic new. entrance, which of itself 
is a decided feature of the place. It 
cost nearly $50,000 and shows at a 
glance its artistic worth and value. 
But the feature par excellence of 
the New Paragon Park is the Giant 
Coaster, the largest and longest in the
