Alpheus Dennis 
Alpheus Dennis, one of Manches- 
ter’s best known and highly respected 
citizens, passed away at 2 o'clock this 
morning, after a lingering illness of 
over a year, aged 71 years, 2 months. 
Mr. Dennis was born in Lanesville, 
Oct. 1, 1834, but has spent most of 
his days in Manchester. A son, Frank 
Dennis, and a daughter, Mrs. Frank 
Rust, both of Manchester, and a 
daughter, Mrs. John Full of Pigeon 
Cove, survive him. 
Funeral services will be held Mon- 
day afternoon at 2 o’clock from the 
home of his son, Frank Dennis, 
Lincoln street, Manchester. 
Chowder 
The Tobias-Schofieldistic clam-ity 
chowder is the only thing of interest 
politically that has occurred since our 
last issue. Only the members of the 
Democratic town committee were 
present, with two invited guests. 
No; these were not the “‘ representa- 
tives of the press ;”’ in the words of 
the old song there was “‘ No room for 
him.’ It was a sort of jubilation, jol- 
lification meeting over the election of 
Geo. A. Schofield as Senator. 
The chowder was prepared by Dr. 
C. L. Hoyt, who is really quite pro- 
ficient in the art. The scene of the 
spread was in the small cottage 
owned by T. C. Rowe, chairman of 
the committee, in the rear of Cheever’s 
store.

Dear Sir: 
I have received today your com- 
pany’s check for $2026.02 in full set- 
tlement of my Endowment Policy 
203,143 in your Company, and I wish 
hereby to express my satisfaction and 
say that the policy, first and last, has 
been very gratifying to me. I have 
taken the dividends annually, and so 
only the last one is added to the face 
amount of $2,000. 
The net cost has been very reason- 
able and gives a good investment on 
the money besides furnishing protec- 
tion during the last 20 years. 
To show that I believe in insurance, 
I have this day applied for a new 
policy of $2,000 in your Company. 
Yours respectfully, 
(Signed) WALTER P. BREWER.

The friends of Charles Munroe will 
be pleased to learn of his reported 
improvement at his Beverly home 
this morning. Tuesday Mr. Munroe 
suffered what appeared to be a shock 
while working on a staging at the 
Stevens estate, off Summer street, 
but it is thought now, however, it was 
a case of spinal meningitis. The first 
workmen knew of his trouble was by 
hearing him call to one of them to 
help him off the staging. By the time 
Dr. Tyler arrived he was delirious and 
it took several men to hold him on 
the way to Beverly in the ambulance, 
which was in charge of Officer Lee. 
He did not regain consciousness for 
over 24 hours. 
You can find plenty of oysters at 
the Beach street restaurant tonight, 
by the plate, pint or quart. *
