is very ill at the Beverly hospital 
where he was ittaken last week for 
typhoid. Mr. Jones’ work at the 
Yown lhall in the meanwhile is being 
carried on under the direction of Mr. 
Hodge of the State Bureau of Statis- 
tics. So exacting is the state on mat- 
ters of town accounting that it is 
necessary to give close and unabated 
attention to the work. Mrs. Harry

lf a special town meeting is called 
next month it is probable that the 
park commissioners will fhave an ar- 
ticle inserted in the warrant on the 
guestion of buying from the Boston 
& Maine railroad the triangular lot 
of land at the Beach street crossing. 
The road’s real estate officials gave 
the local board their word some 
weeks ago that the land could be 
bought and gave a price for the same. 
The board was not willing to bring 
the matter before the town until they 
had a more official notifiication, so 
the directors of the railroad have ofh- 
cially notified the town that the lot 
could be bought.

“MM ARTHA-BY-THE-DAY”’ 
An interesting entertainment was 
given last night in the Congregational 
chapel under the auspices of the So- 
Gial circle. The name of the sketch, 
which was presented in twelve scenes, 
was “Martha-by-the-Day,” the scenes 
being taken from the book by that 
name. ‘The parts were all very well 
handled and the various characters 
Were excellently portrayed. Mrs. 
Hattie Baker as Martha and Miss 
Hester Rust as Claire Lang, handled

the two leading characters running 
through the scenes in splendid style. 
Mr. Saben as Sam Slawson, Martha’s 
husband, had a make-up which car- 
ried the audience by storm; especial- 
ly his nose, which had the habit of 
falling off. “What is this,” said Mr. 
Saben at the psychological moment 
his false nose fell into his hand, and 
the rest of his speech could not be 
heard for the laughter. No wonder 
someone remarked that every thing 
went off splendidly, even Mr, Saben’s 
nose, 
The characters were taken by the 
following : 
Martha Slawson, Mrs. 
Baker: Sam Slawson, Prof, “Ay lL:

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION 
Arthur Palmer Briggs, principal of 
the Shepherd school of Lynn, was the 
speaker at the meeting of the Par- 
ent-Teacher association of Manches- 
ter held in the Price school last Wed- 
nesday evening. Mr. Briggs took 
for his theme “Teaching the True 
Meaning of Success and How to At- 
tain It.” His address was optimistic 
in its vein and was ably delivered to 
an audience whose numbers made it 
an unusual attendance. There were 
more men at the meeting than usual, 
which would indicate a stronger in- 
terest than ever by them. 
Roland Stebbins and Miss Bella 
Porter in violin selections comprised 
the musical program for the evening, 
after which the usual social hour was 
enjoyed. At this time all took an 
opportunity to meet the new teach- 
ers. A collation of cocoa and cakes 
was served.
