Congratulations Evoke 
Letter from Pres. Roosevelt. 
Several weeks ago, when the peace 
conference had come to a successful 
close, Deacon A. E. Low, Manches- 
ter’s oldest son, who will next Tues- 
day celebrate his 97th birthday, wrote 
a letter to President Roosevelt, con- 
gratulating him on his _ persistant 
efforts in the interests of peace, and 
this letter brought back the following 
reply from the President, written by 
his secretary, a few days ago. 
OYSTER Bay, N.Y., Sept. 14, 1905. 
My Dear Sir: 
The President is touched and pleased by 
your letter, and requests me to thank you 
cordially for writing. 
Yours very truly, 
Ww. LOEB, JR., 
Secretary to the President. 
Mr. ALBERT E. Low, 
Manchester Mass. 
The Deacon prizes this letter very 
much, and rightly, too. Though short 
it bespeaks the man who dictated it. 
The letter which Deacon Low sent 
to the President is substantially as 
follows : 
A number of my good friends have 
expressed a desire that I should con- 
gratulate you on the success of your 
persistent efforts in the interests of 
peace between Russia and Japan. 
I was born during the administration 
of Thomas Jefferson and shall com- 
plete my 97th year this month. I 
thank God I live to see the day when 
we are lifted in the front ranks of the 
nations as peace makers. 
I wish you many days of usefulness. 
With loyalty and admiration I am 
yours, 
A. E. Low. 
Manchester, Mass.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Musical Strains Too Much 
For Lamp, Which Falls to Floor. 
The strains on the “Old Apple 
Tree’’ were too much, and as the 
gruff tu-toodle-dum of the bass horn 
sent a shiver through the room, the 
hook gave way and down came the 
lamp, ker-flumux on the floor. In a 
jiffy the flames were licking the kettle 
drum and the big lamp was blazing 
away to beat the band. 
It happened in the band room on 
Allen’s court, in Manchester, Thurs- 
day evening, and before anybody knew 
just what was happening somebody 
pulled in an alarm from box 33, at the 
electric light station, and it took buta 
minute to bring the apparatus along- 
side, with almost every man, woman 
and child in town following. 
It was the regular practice night of 
the band, and they were getting in 
some extra touches for the Shaw cele- 
bration next Tuesday night. When 
the lamp fell from its fastening in the 
ceiling and spilled some oil on the 
floor, it wasn’t enough that the lamp 
should have been thrown out the win- 
dow, but somebody had to call the fire 
apparatus to the scene. . The same 
thing happened at the same place in a 
similar manner a year ago next month. 
And the band played “The Man 
with the Ladder and the Hose”’ as the 
‘all out’ sounded.
