New England. Almost within the 
limits of the city are large oil wells. 
We went out today in an observa- 
tion car, and between 9.30 A. M. and 
5 P. M. rode 72 miles. We passed 
one or two old missions, and one of 
these has been restored and put in 
splendid condition. 
We saw the house in which Gen- 
eral Peros, the Mexican, surren- 
dered to General Fremont. The 
streets on both sides are lined with 
date palms. Outside of Los Angeles 
is a place called Holywood, and 
the grounds and_ residences are 
very fine and well laid out. It is 
remarkable to see the hedges of 
roses in full bloom, also hedges of 
calla lilies. You will also see large 
orchards of oranges and lemon trees 
loaded down with their fruit. There 
are also almond, walnut, olive, ap- 
ricot and fig trees and vegetables 
growing in abundance. 
From Holywood we _ went to 
Morocco, and then to Santa Mon- 
aca and Rodendo, the last two be- 
ing the seaside resorts for Los An- 
geles. At Santa Monaca I saw 100 
men fishing off a pier; they were 
catching herring with fish hooks, 
and I wondered how they did it, 
as we have all been told that her- 
ring do not bite a hook. ‘They use 
a pole with a long line, on the end 
of which is a large lead sinker. On 
the side of the line just above the 
sinker are attached several fish 
hooks, like our own trawl lines. 
They throw the lines out and when 
they pull up, the herring are so 
thick that they simply hook them. 
The labor here is Japanese and 
they make good workmen, doing 
grading and railroad building. [| 
saw two of them turning a hand 
car with their ears covered with a 
handkerchief, the sand blows so 
thick. 
It seems queer in early February 
to find the thermometer above 7c 
and the beaches filled with people, 
as our own beach at Beverly Farms 
in July and August. No stone or 
ledge is found here, and the founda- 
tions for all buildings and bridges 
are made of Portland cement con: 
crete.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Maria B. Lendall. 
After a lingering illness of more 
than five years, much of which time 
she had been confined to her bed, 
Mrs. Maria B. (Connell) Lendall, wife 
of Edward E. Lendall, of Manchester, 
passed away at the Beverly hospital 
last Monday. She died with Bright’s 
disease, and a complication of diseases, 
at the age of 62 years. 
Mrs. Lendall was a native of Ireland, 
but when young came to New York 
and from there to Salem, where she 
lived till ’°69, when she married Mr. 
Lendall. Since then she has made 
her home in Manchesrer. They had 
one child, a son, who died when he 
was five years old. Singularly enough 
the deceased was buried on the anni- 
versary of the birth of the child. 
Mrs. Lendall was a woman who was 
greatly loved and respected. Before 
her illness she was closely connected 
with the life of Allen Relief Corps and 
Liberty lodge of Rebekahs. Since 
her illness she has been unable to 
move around much and in the last few 
months her condition became quite 
serious. Two weeks ago today she 
was taken to the Beverly hospital, 
where she passed away Monday. 
Burial services were held at the 
Sacred Heart church, Wednesday. 
Rev. Fr. J. J. Downey officiated and 
delivered a very touching eulogy. The 
local W.R.C. and lodge of Rebekahs 
attended in a body and conducted 
their services at Rosedale cemetery. 
There was a most profuse display of 
beautiful flowers, including many 
handsome set pieces sent by friends 
and relatives in Boston, Salem, Bev- 
erly, Essex, and by the many friends 
of the deceased in Manchester. One 
sister in Salem, and a husband survive. 
The Mystery Social. 
The, Mystery. 7 social in. Lee's 
hall, Manchester, Thursday evening, 
under the auspices of the Ever Ready 
Circle of King’s Daughters, was a pro- 
nounced success, both as to the social 
feature of the evening’s program and 
in view of the receipts to be added to 
the treasury of the circle. 
The various tables were in charge 
of the following: Ice-cream, Mrs. C. 
L. Crafts and Miss Sadie Noyes ; 
fancy table, Misses Kate Baker and 
Lila Morse; useful table, Mrs. L. B. 
Harvie and Miss Bessie Lethbridge ; 
mystery tree, Mrs. Wm. Follett ; re- 
freshment table, Mrs. G. A. Knoerr, 
Mrs. Ellery Rogers, Miss Helen Ma- 
son. Miss Rita Crombie was in gen- 
eral charge of the affair. 
The program carried out was of a 
most select nature.

New Truck for the Farms. 
Residents of Beverly Farms and 
especially the firemen connected with 
the West street fire station are very 
much pleased over the successful out- 
come of the petition sent into the City 
council some time ago praying that a 
new and up-to-date hook and ladder 
truck be provided in place of the 
present one which has a long time ago 
passed its days of usefulness as far as 
being in keeping with the other equip- 
ment. The committee on fire depart- 
ment at their meeting in city hall, 
Monday evening, voted to purchase a 
Seagrave hook and ladder and chemi- 
cal combination truck, not to exceed 
in cost over $2,000. Upon its arrival 
a public exhibition will be given. 
Killed by Freight Train. 
Last Sunday afternoon freight 
train No. 238, which goes up the 
Gloucester branch, Boston bound, 
shortly after noon, killed Henry 
Cannell of Prides Crossing, near 
Thissel’s crossing. Cannell, it is 
thought, wanted to go to Beverly, 
and as the train was moving rather 
slowly, he probably tried to jump 
on, for the engineer says he saw 3 
man standing on the outward track 
when he passed. The manner in 
which Cannell fell between the 
cars was such as to cause his head 
tc be severed from the body with- 
out the least scratch being inflicted 
on the head or body. The former 
was found between the rails and 
the latter at right angles to the 
track. 
The unfortunate man was well 
known at Prides Crossing and Bev- 
etly Farms, he being one of the 
gardeners at the W. S. Spaulding 
estate, and he was formerly em- 
ployed by C. K. Cummings. A wife 
and one child survive him in Nova 
Scotia. Cannell was about 33, and 
was an Englishman.
