today visiting his parents, Mr. and

“As my friend Senator James F. 
Shaw is stated to be more than well 
blessed with worldly goods, I do not 
suppose his eyes bulged out very wide, 
when the other day he counted over 
nearly $4,000,000 belonging to the 
state, and other securities amounting 
to over $45,000,000. ‘Jim’ is a mem- 
ber of the committee on ways and 
means and with the other members 
he has been engaged for several days 
in counting the money and verifying 
the accounts in the state treasurer’s 
office.” —Lookout in the Gloucester 
Times. 
The rooster on the steeple of the 
Congregational church is frozen at 
his post! A rathet peculiar state- 
ment, to be sure; but true neverthe- 
less. The extreme cold weather of 
the past two weeks has_ probably 
frozen what moisure there might have 
been about the pivot on which the 
copper colored bird revolves, and no 
matter what way the wind blows the 
rooster still heads to the westward. 
Sleighride parties have been quite 
the thing the past week. Scores of 
parties have passed through Manches- 
ter almost every night and many, made 
this their objective point, both from 
Salem and Beverly, and from Glouces- 
ter. On Tuesday night there were 
twelve parties that stopped in the cen- 
ter of the town, and these thronged 
Lee’s and Cheever’s drug stores look- 
ing for hot chocolate. They were not 
all young people either. As some 
one put it, they were all the way from 
the cradle to the grave. On Wednesday 
evening there were 81 in Lee’s store 
at onetime. From Manchester, too, 
there have been a dozen or more par- 
ties. On Tuesday night a party of 20 
school children from grades VII, VIII, 
and IX, went to Salem, with Miss 
Emma Hatz and Miss Annabel Har- 
aden as chaperones ; another prrty of 
boys from Pleasant street and vicinity 
went to Salem. On the same evening 
also, a party of older persons enjoyed 
aride to Salem. On Wednesday even- 
ing a party of about 26 children went 
to Salem. 
Lewis Collins arrived home Wed- 
nesday after a two weeks’ vacation in 
Boston. 
Mr. and Mrs. John L. Munroe of 
Geneva, N. Y., arrived last night for 
a fortnight’s visit with the latter’s 
sister, Mrs. Fred J. Merrill. 
The Haphazard club planned on a 
sleigh ride to Hamilton last night 
where they were to be guests of Mr. 
and Mrs. Alexander Robertson. The 
rain caused a postponement of the 
trip.

avenue, Swampscott. Mr. Bohaker is 
a Manchester young man, having 
made his home here until graduating 
from the Story High school, in 1902. 
Mrs. Marte S. Lations 
The sudden death of Mrs. Marie S. 
Lations at her home on Union street, 
Manchester, Wednesday evening,came 
asa great shock to the community. 
She had not even complained of feel- 
ing ill, and had been out and among 
her friends the day of her death. In 
fact on that evening she had enter- 
tained - a ~ few “:friends: “at»~ her 
home. and’.she “and:.-her=:hus- 
band had _ been playing whist 
with them. Less than an hour after 
they had gone home, as Mrs. Lations 
was preparing to retire, she fell to the 
floor and passed away without speak- 
ing. Heart trouble was the cause of 
death. 
Her husband, J. P. Lations, was 
with her at the time and her son, L. 
O. Lations, was also in the house. 
They did what they could but their 
efforts were fruitless, and she passed 
away without speaking a word. She 
has never had heart trouble, though 
her father passed away in a similar 
manner. 
Mrs. Marie S. Lations was born 
Feb. 12, 1844, in Newburyport, a 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Mer- 
rill. There she spent her early days. 
She lived also in Newbury some time. 
In 1867,—44 years ago—she was
