Entertainment by Members of St. Margaret’s 
Sunday School 
A more appreciative audience has 
scarcely filled Neighbor’s hall than 
that which thronged the hall Monday 
evening, when the entertainment for 
which the members of St. Margaret’s 
church Sunday school have been pre- 
paring for several weeks past was 
given. The program was an excellent 
one throughout, and every number 
was given in a most complimentary 
manner. Following is the program :

The whole affair was under the 
direction of Fr. Maguire, and he was 
assisted by Miss Lydia Hayes, who 
had charge of the music, and Miss Jane 
Watson, who directed the dancers. 
A pleasant feature of the evening 
was the awarding of the prizes for 
excellence in studies and first place in 
examinations to the members of the 
MANCHESTER, MASS., SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1906 
Sunday school. This was done by 
Rev. Fr. Walsh, who supplemented 
his remarks with a most appropriate 
short speech, thanking all who had 
helped to make the affair a success, 
and wishing all a happy New Year. 
The prizes were awarded as follows: 
Below highest grade, Mary Toomey 
and Margaret Brady; Nellie Collins 
and Gertrude Sullivan; Grace Miller 
and Christine Murray; Agnes Ordway 
and George Twitchell; Joseph Rourke 
and John Keigan. The most coveted 
prize, the gold medal, which goes to 
the one who has passed the best ex- 
amination, was declared to be a tie 
between Abbie Williams and Nora 
Murray, who had been found equally 
perfect, consequently a beautiful gold 
medal was awarded each.

LOW DEATH RATE 
Manchester Shows Slight Increase Over Last 
Year, While Birth Rate Increases and 
Marriage Remains About the Same 
We publish today a complete list of 
the births, deaths and marriages re- 
corded in the town of Manchester for 
the year 1905. It is interesting to 
note that the death rate of the town 
remains practically the same,—35 
deaths being recorded, and some of 
these were non-residents of the town. 
Of that number eleven were over 80 
years of age, and 24 were over 50, 
and as five were children, there re- 
mains but six deaths of persons in 
middle life, which is a remarkable low 
rate for a town with a population of 
2500. Of the total number of deaths 
19 were males and 16 females There 
were 27 marriages recorded dur- 
ing the year, the same as in 1904. The 
birth rate which had not changed ma- 
terially for three years back, shows an 
increase the past year of seven. The 
figures for the past four years are: 
1905 1904 1903 1902 
Births 61 54 55 55 
Deaths 35 33 38 25 
Marriages 27 27 29 11

and marriages for 1905 follows :
