Thanksgiving was not an aie 
gether pleagant day for Mrs. Abbie 
(Sanborn) Smith of Elm street. 
Besides the pain of mind caused by 
the serious accident befalling her 
8-year-old son a week ago, who is 
now at the hospital for treatment, 
another boy, Reginald is ill with 
rheumatic fever, and her brother, 
George Sanborn, the baggage master 
at the West Manchester station, is 
also at the hospital with typhoid 
fever.

Serious Accident. 
Last Friday afternoon Louis the 
eight-year-old son of Mrs. Abbie 
(Sanborn) Smith of Elm st., Man- 
chester, became ensnarled in the 
wheel of a wagon owned by John 
W. Carter, the tin-smith, and broke 
one leg in two places and terribly 
bruised the other. Only by the clos- 
est margin did he escape death. He 
was one of several children ‘‘steal- 
ing’’ rides on wagons. As Mr. Car- 
ter’s wagon was starting from in 
front of the shop, on lower School 
street, the young men on the vehicle 
drove the children off. The little 
Smith boy either did not leave or 
he caught hold afterward,—at any 
rate the wagon had not preceded 
more than a dozen paces when there 
was a shriek and those who heard 
it saw the form of the child whirl- 
ed around by the revolving rear 
wheel once or twice. The wagon 
was stopped instantly and the little 
fellow was taken from his preeari- 
ous position. 
There appears to have been no one 
who saw the accident. It is sup- 
posed the child was hanging on to 
the rear of the wagon and when it 
started he became ensnarled in the 
spokes of the wheel. ~* 
At the Beverly hospital every- 
thing is being done for the comfort 
of the boy. It is hoped that his legs 
may not have to. be amputated, 
though this could not be known for 
sure yesterday. At all events the 
child will probably be a cripple for 
hfe. 
No fault, of course, is placed on 
Capt. Carter or his men for the acei- 
dent. The children are continually 
hanging aroung wagons trying to 
‘“steal’’ a ride and it is not an un- 
common thing to see drivers stop in 
the middle of the street to drive 
children away from their wagons. 
In this case it is said the children 
were driven away and warned not 
to get on. The law in a matter of 
this kind is such, however, that the 
owner of vehicles are held responsi- 
ble for accidents of this kind no mat- 
ter what care might have been taken 
to prevent accident.. Mr. Carter is 
protected by the Employers Liabili- 
ty Insurance, having a policy in the 
Travellers’ Insurance Co., through 
the office of Geo. E. Willmonton. 
Hollis Street Theatre. 
The long delayed engagement of 
the popular comedian, Francis Wil- 
son, in Boston, is about to be con- 
summated, for announcement is 
made that Mr. Wilson will begin a 
limited engagement at the Hollis 
Street Theatre, in his own successful 
comedy, ‘‘The Bachelor’s Baby’’, 
next Monday night. 
‘The Bachelor’s Baby’’, is by all 
odds the most successful play Mr. 
Wilson has had during his long ¢a- 
reer and it comes to Boston almost 
direct from its season’s run at the 
Criterion theatre, 
where it played to the biggest houses 
in the history of that popular play- 
house. ‘‘The Bachelor’s Baby’’, is a 
most diverting and

comedy farce, full of bright lines, 
epigram and 
and with clever 
amusing situations, tells in a clean, 
straight-forward 
very funny story. 
From the time the comedian makes" 
his first entrance, which is very early | 
in the comedy, until the final curtain - 
falls, there is almost incessant laugh- 
ter, save that every now and again, 
Mr. Wilson has struck a very human 
note in some pathetie little scene 
with the child, which only serves to — 
bring out the comedy in stronger 
relief. 
Charles Frohman who presents 
Francis Wilson brings the comedian 
for this engagement with practically 
the same company which was with — 
him during the long run of the play | 
in New York. Mr. Wilson has writ-—

production is said to be very elabor-

Gaiety Theatre. 
No better type of the jipdeed 
building construction can be found 
among Boston’s playhouses than the 
New Gaiety Theatre, located —at 
Washington and Boylston streets. 
The building was completed in 1908 
and possesses all those features that 
are to be found in all first-class thea- 
tres. 
tus, automatic heat control, scienti- 
fie illumination and a score of other 
matters are quite unnoticed by the 
average patron, yet these things 
must be provided at many thousands 
of dollars expense, and in such the 
Gaiety Theatre is pre-eminent among 
the new theatres of Boston. 
Regarding the scope and character 
of the modern burlesque show, it is. 
a generally admitted fact that they 
easily rank well with the so-called 
first-class companies seen at the large 
theatres in all the big cities of the 
country. 
No form of theatrical stage pro- 
ductions has undergone a more radi- 
cal change in the past ten years than 
burlesque. To-day they are patron- 
ized as extensively by ladies as by 
men, and justly so, for the up-to- 
date burlesque show combines all. 
the elements of the stage—music, » 
drama, comedy, vaudeville and the 
spectacular.
