“The accounts from all quarters of 
the United States show that the Fourth 
of July has been celebrated this year with 
uncommon © spirit. “The: manner in 
which the celebrations have been. con- 
ducted, prove, that a strong principle of 
patriotism, and a high.sense of inde- 
pendence, pervade the country. It was 
not a mere day of festivity: it was dis- 
tinguished by a cordial union of hearts, 
a manly avowal of federal sentiments, 
and, above all, useful military exercises, 
necessary to give energy to these senti- 
ments.’ 
The above was copied 
of the old Salem Gazette, of 
1798, 
of today it is of 
shows that the “

whether the celebration today will be 
‘distinguished by a cordial union of 
hearts, a manly avowal of federal senti-

Ir has been suggested that the fixtures 
for illuminating the Town Common for

to be used particularly on band

on these four nights, -a 
couple of hours each night. Further- 
more there is to be a harbor illumination 
on the night of August 10, under the 
s of the Manchester Yacht club,

auspices 
and perhaps it would work in handy on 
that occasion. 
First Class Sanitarium. 
We take this time to call the attention 
of the laree number of people from. all 
parts of the country, who are spending 
the season on the North Shore, to the 
fact that the property knownas the Mas- 
conomo house, Manchester-by-the-Sea, 
will be enlarged and modernized into a 
first class sanitarlum, which, when com- 
pleted will be one of the most up to date 
institutions of its kind in the United 
States, for the reception of invalids. 
The roof will be utilized as a. sun parlor 
and will be a model affair. It is esti- 
mated that improvements will cost from 
$50,000.00 to $75,000.00. The sup- 
erintendent will be one of Boston’s well 
known physicans and his large acquaint- 
ance in all sections of the country war- 
rants a large influence in making the in- 
stitution a financial success. Many doc- 
tors, especially in the large cities, realize 
the necessity of an institution near Bos- 
ton, where such excellent climatic con- 
ditions are to be had, a place to which 
they may send the overworked business 
and social men as well as tired out society 
people. 
Mrs. Mortimer B. Mason. 
The sudden death early last Sunday 
morning of Mrs. Mortimer B. Mason 
came as a severe shock to residents of 
Manchester, and along the North Shore. 
Mrs. Mason was in her usual good 
health on Saturday and was out in her 
garden, at her summer estate on Smith’s 
Point in the late afternoon. She went 
into the house and was taken suddenly 
ill. Physicians were called in, but all 
that medical skill could do was unavail- 
ing. and she passed away early Sunday 
morning. The cause of death was 
hemorrhage of the brain. 
Mrs. Mason was one of the _ best 
known women of the Manchester sum- 
mer colony, the family having spent their 
summers here for many years. Besides 
her husband she leaves five sons,-—M. 
Phillips, Herbert Warren, Harold F., 
Charles E. and Austin B., all graduates 
of Harvard. ‘There is also a daughter, 
the youngest member of the family, 
Marian T. 
Funeral services were held “Tuesday 
morning at eleven at the summer resi- 
dence of the family in Manchester, Rev. 
Allen E. Cross, assistant pastor of the 
New Old South Church, Boston, offici- 
ating. Interment was in the family lot 
at Forest Hills cemetery.
