North Shore Represented At For- 
eign Mission Jubilee In 
Washington. 
The Brooklyn, N. Y., Daily Eagle, 
noticing the golden anniversary of 
the beginning of the women’s organ- 
ized work for foreign missions in 
America, speaks very highly of Mrs. 
Helen Barrett Montgomery of Roch- 
ester, N. Y., Mrs. Newell Dwight 
Hills of Brooklyn; and Mrs. Henry 
W. Peabody of Montserrat. Of Mrs. 
Peabody, the Eagle says: ‘‘ Another 
attractive worker in behalf of the 
jubilee, is Mrs. Henry W. Peabody 
of Beverly, Mass., the wife of the 
philanthropist. Few women know 
more about women’s work and child- 
ren in foreign lands than does Mrs. 
Peabody, who as Mrs. Lucy Water- 
bury went to India with her former 
husband, ‘many years ago, and 
labored earnestly for the betterment. 
of women and children. After the 
death of Mr. Waterbury she return- 
ed to this country and continued 
her missionary service as secretary 
of the Baptist Women’s) Missionary 
Board for nearly 20: years. When 
the Central Committee on the United 
Study of Missions was formed in 
New York City, 10 years ago, she 
became it chairman. Seven denom- 
inations are represented on the com- 
mittee. Mrs. Peabody is a charm- 
ing women, energetic and eloquent.”’ 
Sudden Death of Daniel Low, Head 
of Big Salem Jewelry 
Store. 
The very sudden death last Fri- 
day of Daniel Low at his place of 
business in Salem, was a great 
shock to his employees, business as- 
sociates and the residents of Salem 
universally. 
Mr. Low was one of Salem’s most 
enterprising citizens and by his bus- 
iness sagacity and acumen kept the 
name of Salem in the front rank of 
the business world of the country. 
Mr. Low was born in Salem, Feb. 
3, 1842. .He was the son of Richard 
and.Margaret (Brown) Low. He 
r 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
was educated in the Salem public 
schools. He was a member of the 
27th class of the Salem | , English 
High School. 
He was early apprenticed. a watch- 
maker and jeweler. Soon after the 
war he opened a store on the corner 
of Essex and Central streets. 
A tremendous mail order business 
was built up. Im their retail store 
a greater or more varied stock of 
sterling silver or solid gold cannot 
be found in any city of similar size 
in the country. 
This Salem firm was the first to 
sell solid gold and sterling silver ar- 
ticles by mail. In 1907 it closed a 
very important transaction, by pur- 
chasing the entire business of the 
Nevius company of New York City, 
including their exquisite and impor- 
tant colonial reproductions. 
The firm is still adding to its store 
by taking in the quarters just va- 
cated by the Naumkeag Trust Com- 
pany, alterations now being in pro- 
gress. When these are finished it 
will be hard to find a handsomer or 
more complete store in all New Eng- 
land, and it will be one that will re- 
tlect the very highest credit on the 
business enterprise of the deceased 
and a fitting memorial to his unfail- 
ing ambitions. 
Through the mail order business 
of the firm, the rating of the Salem 
postoffice was brought up to a very 
high standard. Mr. Low himself was 
considered one of the best. judges of 
diamonds in the country. Patrons 
abroad, wherever located, were just 
as sure to get the real articles for 
which they ‘sent, as though they 
stood right at the store counters. The 
name of the firm is a synonym for 
the squarest dealings. 
Mr. Low resided in the fine old 
Colonial mansion, 365 Essex. street, 
built by Joseph Cabot in 1748, and 
which was afterwards the home for 
30 years of William C. Endicott, sec- 
retary of war in President Cleve- 
land’s cabinet.

so cleverly accomplished. Two

some, and no one dreamed of, staying 
longer than was really necessary. 
The reason for this was.that the 
guests resented, the subtle distine-

irrespective if he be an ambassador, 
minister, congressman, or mere 
‘American citizen. 
Neither rank, wealth,, or “position 
for themselves alone have dominated 
the making out of the White House’s 
list. Therefore a more delightful 
camp of people than those who greet 
the president and Mrs..Taft.as hosts 
would be hard to find. Every one 
stays to the end, enjoys the supper, 
dances at bit, or looks on sat the 
merriment, and, comes, away voting

to be found in Washington, apesety.
