BEVERLY FARMS 
At the recent meeting of the Bev- 
erly Farms branch of the Beverly 
Improvement society matters were 
taken up and acted upon which are 
of interest to Beverly Farm’s welfare. 
Among the items of importance the 
following were voted: To ask the 
city government to make an annual 
appropriation of $200 for the pur- 
pose of planting shade trees, to start 
at the Beverly Farms R. R. station 
and plant systematically in some di- 
rection each year; to continue the 
building and improvement of the side- 
walks; to mark the dangerous cross- 
ings, particularly Central square, with 
white paint lines—and to request a 
police officer to do duty in Central 
square to look after the traffic and 
safety of persons from May to Oc- 
tober. The Beverly Farms branch 
will hold their meetings monthly 
hereafter. 
Mr. and Mrs. John F. Wyatt left 
the first of the week for a_ three 
weeks’ vacation trip to Montreal, 
Canada, Niagara Falls, New York 
city and other places of interest. 
The widening of Hale street on the 
north side, at Mingo beach hill is now 
completed and the improvements 
have practically removed a dangerous 
corner. The work included the re- 
moval of considerable ledge and earth, 
and was done by D. Linehan & Son. 
Dennis Cunningham, age 61 years 
and a respected resident of Beverly 
Farms, died early Tuesday morning 
at his late home, 111 Haskell street 
after a two weeks’ illness. He was 
a teamster by occupation and had 
been in the employ of Connolly Bros. 
the greater part of the last 27 years 
and was one of that firm’s oldest and 
trusted employees. He was born in 
Ireland, but came to this country 
early in life ;—he was naturalized and 
took much interest in public affairs. 
The deceased was a man of charita- 
ble and kindly disposition and had a 
host of friends. He was unmarried 
and had no near relatives. He was 
a valued member of St. Margaret’s 
court of Foresters and a regular at- 
tendant at St. Margaret’s church. 
Funeral services were held Thursday 
morning and burial made at the 
Montserrat cemetery. 
An interesting program has been ar- 
ranged for the public illustrated lec- 
ture on “Immigration” to be deliver- 
ed by Mr. Lufburrow of Washington, 
D. C., at the Beverly Farms Baptist 
church this evening, under the man- 
agement of the Girl’s club. The lec- 
ture commences at 7.45 and the price 
of tickets is 15 cents.

Empire THEATRE, SALEM 
“Paid in Full,” one of the most 
successful of recent American plays, 
will be the offering ot the Empire 
Stock Co., at the Empire Theatre 
all next week. Eugene Walter, the 
author, has given realistic treatment 
to the drama of American life in the 
present day, and the appeal is distinct- 
ively human. The play illustrates a 
phase of life in our big cities, show- 
ing the men that it breeds and yet 
temptations that face them, and yet 
enforcing the lesson without a sug- 
gestion of preaching. 
The life of a married clerk living 
on $18.00 in a Harlem flat is delineat- 
ed with amplitude of detail in the 
first act. Joe Brooks has failed in 
every effort to obtain an increase in 
pay. Emma Brooks, working in the 
meagerly furnished flat, makes no 
complaint, but her husband chafes, 
loses his temper, rails at the world, 
rails at Jim Smith, the Colorado man 
who was his unsuccessful rival as a 
suitor for Emma, and finally indulges 
in a rabid outburst against Captain 
Williams. alk | 
The temptation and the opportunity 
to steal comes to Brooks. He takes 
over $16,000 of his employer’s mon- 
ey. He tells Emma that his salary has 
been almost tripled. Discovery comes 
unexpectedly. Brooks, a poor creature 
at the best, loses his nerve and blames

his wife for his crime. 
The cruel and ruthless old sea wolf 
Williams retains at the bottom of his 
heart and soul real respect for a “good 
woman.” He tests Emma, believing 
that she is a “good woman,” but sub- 
jecting her to a brutal trial of her 
mettle. Then he explains himself and 
shows that he thas already written a 
full release for all claims against her 
husband. 
GAIETY THEATRE 
B. F, Forrester offers his big bunch 
with Edgar 
Bixley at the Gaiety Theatre, Bos- 
ton, on Monday, Dec. 1. Every min- 
ute detail, costumes, scenery, music, 
lyrics, book, ensemble and numbers 
and electrical effects were looked af- 
ter with unerring eye and _ critical 
ear and in consequence, the critics 
have been a unit in pronouncing this 
production one of the most complete, 
elaborate and enjoyable it has ever 
been their good fortune to witness. 
The book and lyrics are by George 
Totten Smith. 
TIMELY EXCUSE 
The clock had just struck 5 when 
Wigglesworth entered the house. 
‘This is a fine time of morning 
to be coming home!” observed Mrs. 
Wigglesworth, scornfully. 
“Sorry, my dear, but I thought I’d 
do my Christmas shopping early, and 
not a blooming store was open,” said 
Wigglesworth, winking at himself in 
the mirror.—Judge.
