Gamewell System Installed 
The best is none too good for Man- 
chester, especially when it comes to 
the fire department. The Gamewell 
storage battery and switchboard which 
has just been installed to perfect the 
fire alarm system, is the best thing of 
its kind in existence. 
The adoption of this system was 
recommended by Chief Hoare in his 
annual report to succeed the old 
gravity system, which had many im- 
perfections, and money was appropri- 
ated. The past week the system was 
installed by the Gamewell Fire Alarm 
& Telephone Co., of New York. The 
‘system is the best yet put in use for 
fire alarm purposes, and though this 
is on a much smaller scale, it is just 
the same as is in use in most of the 
large cities. 
There are two sets of cells, one of 
which is charged every week by a 
generator run by a $ h.p. dynamo, - 
which gets its power from the Man- 
chester Electric Co. wires. It is cal- 
culated the cost of this will be about 
$20 a year, while by the old system 
the cost was about $80. Not only is 
the new system a great saving, but it 
is safer. It can be depended upon. 
Engineer Harlan Preston is in charge 
of the new system. 
Provision is made for adding an- 
other set of jars, in case more boxes 
are added at any time. Manchester 
can certainly feel proud of the addi- 
tion. 
The next thing the town needs for 
a further perfection of its already well 
appointed fire department is the com- 
pressed air whistle. It is said this 
whistle gives perfect success. Though 
it would cost $1500 to install one, the 
yearly cost of running it would only 
be about $10. It could be put on top 
the engine house, and certainly no- 
body could then complain of not hear- 
ing the whistle. The engineers ought 
to look into the matter and bring it 
up at the March meeting.

He invested in insurance 
In the N. Y. Equitable, 
He now laments the assurance 
Of the inequitable. 
TAINTED 
To take the money of John D. 
The mission folk were glad. 
The reason you will plainly see; 
They wanted the money bad.

The hymn he sang, 
Thro’ all the arches of the temple rang: 
‘‘ Were the whole realm of Nature mine, 
That were an offering all too small.” 
Then he upon the plate let tall 
A nice new nickel. And I saw it shine. 
TAINTED 
Two skunks sat on a roadside wall. 
(It was late in the Fall.) 
An auto came vaporing by, 
With a smell that smelt to the sky. 
When the gentle creatures caught a whiff 
Of the modern juice, 
With a wink of the eye and a sniffy sniff, 
They murmured, “ What’s the use!” 
JosEPH A. TORREY. 
While riding to hounds Tuesday 
afternoon with the Myopia Hunt, Mrs. 
Charles G. Rice was thrown from her 
horse and severely bruised and shaken. 
She was taken to her home at Turner 
Hill in one of the automobiles follow- 
ing in the wake of the horsemen. Mrs. 
Rice is a superb rider, and it was diffi- 
cult to account for the accident.

LEWIS ARMSTRONG MARTIN 
Manchester Young Man Passes Away in 
Hospital, in Canada, Body Being Brought 
Home for Burial. 
The sad news reached Manchester 
last Sunday morning of the death in 
Winnepeg, Manitoba, of Lewis A. 
Martin, son of George H. and 
Augusta Martin of Manchester. The 
body has been shipped East and 
- funeral arrangements will be made on 
its arrival. The funeral services will 
be held at Crowell Memorial chapel. 
Lewis Armstrong Martin was born 
in Manchester Sept. 7, 1869, at the 
family homestead, off School street. 
He attended the town schools and 
left the high school where he was a 
pupil of Prof. N. B. Sargent, before 
graduation because of ill health. He 
later attended an evening high school 
in Boston, and the Bussy Institute, 
the agricultural department of Har- 
vard University. 
For 17 years he has acted as grocery 
clerk, nine of which he has been at 
the S..S. Pierce Co.’s Tremont street 
store, Boston. During six years of 
that time he has made his home with 
his aunt in Somerville. 
For some time his health has not 
been good and last March he decided 
make a change, thinking a trip to the 
Pacific coast might help him. He 
left accordingly March 7 for Cali- 
fornia, going by way of the Panama 
route to San Francisco, whence he 
went to Oroville, where he visited a 
friend till Sept. 15, when, not receiv- 
ing the benefit he had hoped for, he 
started for home, intending to stop at 
Los Angeles and Portland, Ore., and 
reaching home about Sept. 30. 
The first heard from him after that 
was when word came from a physician 
at the Winnepeg General hospital say- 
ing that Mr. Martin had been taken 
from the train at Winnepeg suffering 
from typhoid fever. That was practi- 
cally all that was heard from him till 
word was received Sunday saying he 
was dead. He was taken with the 
fever Sept. 28 and died Oct. 21. 
Mr. Martin was a young man of ex- 
cellent character. He was generous 
hearted and easily befriended. He 
was always one of the most popular 
young men of the town, and he was 
most highly esteemed in Somerville, 
where he was a member of the Frank- 
lin street Congregational church. He 
was a Christian young man, and he 
was baptised into the Baptist church 
at Manchester by Rev. D. F. Lamson 
in 1888. He wasamember of Mag- 
nolia lodge, 149, Odd Fellows, of 
Manchester. 
A mother and father, two brothers, 
Frank H. and Fred Martin, and a 
sister, Mrs. Frank. A. Foster (Clara 
Martin) of Beverly, survive him.
