Rev. D. O. Mears, 
family will soon take up their resi- 
dence in Boston for the winter 
months. 
Eliot Mears of Harvard college, 
was in town Tuesday. 
The shipyards present a very busy 
appearance. In the yards are three 
large schooners. One framed and 
planked and ready for deck; one 
all done but finishing, and the third 
ready to launch. The last is- the 
Flora L. Oliver, a fine hull of 114 
tons. She is owned by Capt. Victor 
Oliver and others. Capt. Oliver will 
command her and use her in the 
_market fishery. 
‘Tarr & James have two boats on 
the stocks. The 130-ton fishing 
schooner for Capt. Sylvester Wha- 
len, is well under way. The Pilot 
boat for the Association of Pilots of 
Mobile, Alabama, is all but com- 
pleted and will launch next week. 
This vessel is 105 feet long, 12 feet 
deep, and 24 feet wide. It is con- 
structed of oak timber and fastened 
with galvanized fastenings through- 
out. 
At about 5.30 o’clock Wednesday 
morning the Town hall bell rang 
out for fire. William Lundberg of 
Story street, had come all the way 
from there to give the alarm. It 
seems that William Rowe had arisen 
in the morning and kindled the fire 
and then had left the house for a 
few minutes. When he _ returned, 
he found that a kerosene lamp had 
exploded and the kitchen was all 
afire. Neighbors were called and 
strenuous efforts were made to ex- 
tinguish the fire, but it had gained 
headway so rapidly that the family 
was obliged to flee for their lives. 
The firemen, somewhat delayed by 
the distance and the telephones in 
the neighborhood being out or or- 
der, came too late to save the house, 
which in a short time was totally 
destroyed. 
Charles 
Cherry in ‘‘The Seven 
Sisters’’ 
The Hollis Street Theatre will 
have for its attraction next week, 
the merry, rollicking farce, ‘‘The 
Seven Sisters,’’? with Charles Cherry 
and the New York Lyceum Theatre 
Company, under the direction of 
Daniel Frohman. Mr. Cherry is 
well known in Boston through his 
numerous pleasant visits with Max- 
ine Elliott’s company. In_ this 
merry comedy he plays the part of 
a dashing young lieutenant, the type 
of manly role with which he has 
been so popularly identified for 
many seasons.

The play is from the Hungarian 
of Ferenez Herezeg, and was adap- 
ted by Miss Edith Ellis. It had a 
sensational success in Europe, the 
length of its run covering a number 
of years. It is a jolly, domestic 
farce, full of amusing situations and 
humorous complications developed 
in a story that has the warmth, joy- 
ousness and liveliness of youth . It 
deals with the troubles of the widow 
of a Hungarian officer in moderate 
circumstances in regard to suitable 
marriages for her seven daughters. 
It is the custom of the Hungarian 
gentry to always keep the youngest 
daughters in the background until 
the eldest is disposed of in matri- 
mony. In this case, the mother is 
at her wit’s end to keep the young- 
er ones at a suitably youthful age 
until the oldest is married, and she 
is reduced to putting them in short 
skirts and pinafores to accord with 
the age which she gives to each.
