F. J. Merrill gave a very interesting 
“rambling talk’ before Magnolia lodge 
of Odd Fellows Thursday evening on 
his recent trip toCuba. He described 
the various points of interest in and 
about Havana, and illustrated his re- 
marks by a collection of souvenir 
postal cards which he passed around. 
In speaking of the people he said that 
in his opinion, it was only a matter of 
a few years before the United States 
would have to take charge of things 
on the island, as the people were unfit 
to govern. 
There was a slight burglar scare at 
West Manchester Tuesday evening. 
As special officer Richard Newman, 
who is caretaker at the S. V. R. 
Crosby estate, was leaving the house 
to go to the greenhouse near by he 
thought he saw a light in another part 
of the house. He connected with 
Officer Lee, whose route takes him in 
that community, and the two went 
over the house from cellar to attic but 
no trace of burglars were found. 
The Hunters and Warriors’ degree 
was worked on one candidate at the 
meeting of the Conomo tribe of Red 
Men Wednesday evening. A colla- 
tion was served afterward. Members 
of the tribe are requested to make a 
special effort to attend the next meet- 
ing, on April 3, as the social end of 
the evening will be in the form ofa 
“send off’ party to one of the past 
sachems, who is leaving town soon 
afterward.

had as guests the past week Mr. and 
Mrs. Southergreen of Osterville. 
Harold Robbins who is employed at 
a Salem restaurant stopped a lively 
runaway in that city one day last week. 
A pony hitched to a small gig came 
down the street at a great rate witha 
young girl trying to stop it. The Man- 
chester young man grabbed the reins 
and brought the animal to a stop be- 
fore any damage was done. He re- 
ceived many compliments from by- 
standers for his courage in stopping 
the animal.

We consider it worthy of note to 
say that our venerable librarian, D. 
L. Bingham, now in his 93d year, was 
out to Town Meeting Wednesday 
and took part in the discussion as he 
usually dces when matters of interest 
come up. 
Mrs. Rainville arrived home yester- 
day from the private hospital in Brook- 
line where she has been treated. 
The Misses Tena Herrick and 
Myrtle Salisbury and Edgar L. Var- 
ney of Camden, Me., are guests of 
their uncle, Chas. A. Mason, School 
street. 
Edward Heath, jr., spent last week 
with relatives in Boston. 
Manual Thomas and family are 
planning on leaving Manchester the 
early part of next month for California 
where Mr. Thomas expects to. find 
employment at his trade as carpenter. 
They will locate at Richmond, a place 
about 75 miles from San Francisco. 
California is a very prosperous country 
and especially in the building trades is 
there a call for workmen. The pay 
for a carpenter is $5 a day of eight 
hours, with Saturday afternoons off. 
Plumbers receive $7 and other trades 
fare equally as well. The cost of liv- 
ing, on the other hand, is said to be 
about the same as here. Walter 
Smith, local manager for R. Robert- 
son Co., plumbers, also contemplates 
the trip, though his family will remain 
east for the present, probably remov- 
ing from here to Reading.
