CHANGE OF ADDRESS. 
Readers of the BREEZE who are 
about to change their address, either to 
move to the North Shore, or otherwise, 
will confer a great favor upon the editor 
if they will send their new address to 
this office, Manchester, [lass. This 
will not only insure discontinuance at 
the old, buta prompt delivery at the new 
address. 
Where is that Committee? 
To the Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
Dear Sir: Will you kindly allow 
me to inquire through the columns of 
your paper if anybody is ‘‘ posted’ on 
the whereabouts of that committee 
from the city government whose duty 
it is to “do something’”’ concerning 
the securing of a location for a play- 
ground, and if there is such a person 
will he please inform the residents of 
Beverly Farms. Perhaps next fall 
just before election this committee 
might take on a new lease of life long 
enough to make some sort of a report, 
which now appears to be the only 
chance left to secure a move in this 
direction from this committee. 
“WaRD 6 VOTER.” 
A Communication, 
To the Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
Dear Sir: Among recent rumors 
which have come to my ear is one- 
perhaps, too ridiculous to repeat. A 
well known business man in this town 
is quoted as having said, that if the 
new Catholic church to be built in 
Manchester was built on a certain lot 
in town, he would institute a piggery 
at the rear of the church. Such a 
statement based upon nothing but 
rank bigotry is sufficiently hideous to 
cause the speaker thereof to blush 
with shame. The above named church 
cannot be slandered, nor publicly crit- 
icized, because nothing can truthfully 
be said against it. Such insults can 
only be spoken in an underhanded 
way, suggestive of a lack of manliness. 
We are consoled with the fact that the 
Roman Catholic church is based upon 
too solid a foundation to be affected 
by the attacks of the narrow-minded. 
Yours for Fair Play, 
ANDREW J. DAGLE. 
MANCHESTER, April 12, 1905. 
Deacon Low Makes Gift to Boys. 
The following self-explanatory letter 
from the venerable Dea. A. E. Low of 
Manchester, was received by Rev. E. 
H. Brewster for the Boys’ Brigade 
this week : 
‘Rev. E. H. BREWSTER. 
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find 
$5 which I think will be found useful 
in the B. B. B. and which I give as a 
recognition of the honor they have 
conferred upon me in giving my name 
to their camp. 
‘‘With my best wishes for the pros- 
perity and moral influence of the band 
I am, sincerely yours 
“ (Signed) A. E. Low.” 
Whisperings. 
Not many years ago before these 
new-fangled ideas got to working, 
1 am told, a hen raiser would con- 
sider it great luck if he could count 
« dozen or fifteen chicks from a set- 
ting, but now-a-days, unless a man 
succeeds in getting a hundred or 
more, he thinks bad luck is with 
him. My good friend, Henry Men- 
kin, gardener and caretaker fo 
Francis M. Whitehouse, at Man- 
chester Cove, succeeded in getting 
148 chicks from one setting this 
week. That is surely raising them 
by the gross, instead of by the doz- 
en, as in days of vore. 
Joseph W. Lee, who was man- 
ager of the Woodbury Electric Co., 
is to start in business for himself 
and has opened an office in Beverly. 
ACROSS THE CONTINENT, 
Descriptions of a Trip from Boston to San 
Francisco and Return, 
[The following is taken from notes made 
by Thomas D. Connolly of Beverly Farms, 
on a recent trip to San Francisco.— Ep.} 
No. 2. — At New Orleans. 
We have just been over New 
Orleans and it is to my mind a little 
Paris from the description given that 
city. New Orleans originally was a 
Spanish colony and afterwards it be- 
came a French colony. It was sold 
by Napoleon I. to the United States 
in 1803 and was known as the Louisi- 
ana Purchase. From this mixture of 
the Spanish and the French have 
sprung what is termed Creoles, and 
today in New Orleans some of the - 
finest old families are Creoles. Here 
you find both ancient and modern 
_architecture. 
The St. Louis cathedral is of old 
Spanish design; delapidated on the 
outside and sadly in need of repairs. 
On the inside are the finest frescoes 
and coloring I have ever seen. On 
the top of the altar is a fine painting 
given to the church by Louis XVL., 
King of France, and there are other 
paintings on the walls. The floor is 
tiled with marble, each tile being 15 
inches square. Bishops and priests — 
all Spaniards — are buried in the side 
walls and under the floor in front of 
the altars. The pews are large, high, 
and square boxed. 
This cathedral is built of brick, 
slap dashed with lime and mortar, for 
it being a tropical country, Jack 
Frost can dono harm. Alongside of 
the cathedral is the old government 
building called the Cabildo and also 
the court house. Across on one side 
of the street is another large building 
still owned by the Spanish living in 
the old world who collect their rents 
regularly. An old fashioned hotel of 
fine architecture is very near, but it is 
condemned. 
Another place that we visited is the 
old St. Louis cemetery and it is fright- 
fully gruesome. There are Spanish, 
French and Creoles buried here in 
large monuments or houses raised 
above the ground as water is found
