Supt. George Kimball, Raymond C. 
Allen and W. H. Allen went to Ports- 
mouth on Tuesday to witness the ex- 
ercises in connection with the arrival 
of the peace envoys. 
The entertainment and sale at the 
town hall Wednesday evening, under 
the auspices of the Baptist Church 
Aid society, proved very successful. 
The programme consisted of a very 
pretty drill by twelve young ladies, 
under the direction of C. E. Wood- 
bury of Beverly. This was preceded 
by a piano duet by Miss Hattie Baker 
and Miss Eleanor Andrews, and _ fol- 
lowed by a cornet solo by Byron Bul- 
lock and readings by Miss Harriet 
Brewster. The drill was given again 
at the close. Ice cream, cake, fancy 
articles, aprons, candy and punch were 
for sale. Mrs. Helen E. Willmonton 
was chairman of the committee in 
charge, and she was assisted at the 
various booths by Mrs. Brewster, Mrs. 
Brewster, Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. E. W. 
Baker, Mrs. Eliza Crombie, Mrs. El- 
lery Rogers, Mrs. Chas. Morse and 
Mrs. Charles Mason. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Elizabeth Cheever. 
The sad death about 2 o’clock yes- 
terday afternoon of Elizabeth, the 
younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Frank G. Cheever, at Manchester, 
came as a severe shock to the many 
friends of the family. Several times 
within the past year the life of the 
little girl has been despaired of, so 
that the end yesterday was not unex- 
pected. She was taken sick Tuesday. 
Three doctors, Washburn, Blaisdell 
and Glendenning, were called in, and 
a nurse arrived yesterday morning, 
but there seemed to be no relief and 
the little child passed away yesterday 
afternoon at the age of 3 years, 6 
months, 1 day. Funeral services will 
be held at the residence on Bridge 
street, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. 
The sympathy of the entire com- 
munity goes out to Mr. and Mrs. 
Cheever in their bereavement. 
Must keep off Public Streets. 
The action of the authorities of 
the town of Topsfield in taking 
measures to restrict the automobiles 
from using certain streets in that town, 
has attracted the attention of the own- 
ers of autos along the North Shore, 
who will, no doubt, add their protest 
to that of others who are residents of 
that town not in favor of the move. 
It is very likely that a_ hearing 
in regard to the matter will be held. 
Lawyer M. J. Connolly of Beverly 
Farms and the Ames building, Boston, 
has been retained by some of the re- 
monstrants.
