Mrs. Susan Allen. 
Mrs. Susan Allen passed away. last 
Saturday morning at her home on Vine 
street, Manchester, at the age of 75 
years, 6 mos., 19 days after a long ill- 
ness. ‘She was a native of Essex, and 
the {widow of the late Luther Frank 
Allen, for many years school-committee- 
man here. 
In her earlier years Mrs. Allen was an 
active worker in the community, es- 
pecially in the affairs of the Congrega- 
tional church, of which she was a mem- 
ber. She taught a Sunday School class 
of ladies for a great many years. After 
a long, busy and useful life she died as 
she lived—honored, trusted and loved. 
She reared her own monument in the 
hearts of those who knew her. Her 
Christian life was beautiful from its be- 
ginning to its close; she was always 
doing good. 
Of late years Mrs. Allen’s health had 
not been of the best. She bore it all 
well, however, and when the end came 
last Saturday she passed away peacefully. 
She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. 
Raymond C. Allen of this town, and a 
son, Prof. Ralph W. Allen of Brooklyn, 
N. Y., and a sister and three brothers in 
Essex. 
Funeral services were held last Mon- 
day afternoon at her late home and _ in- 
terment was in Rosedale cemetery. The 
Rev. George L. Gleason of Topsfield, 
who preached here for so many years, 
officiated at the funeral. 
** Mourn not the Jost! in realms of changeless 
gladness, 
Where friendship’s ties are never crushed and 
broken, we still may meet; He who 
holds our sadness 
Hath to the trusting heart assurance spoken of 
that blest land, where, free from care 
and pain, 
Fond friends unite again.’’ 
Charles H. Morse. 
Charles H. Morse, a well known 
Manchester man, son of Thomas Morse, 
died last Saturday morning at his home 
on North street, in his 40th year. Fun- 
eral services were held Monday after- 
noon from the Crowell Memorial Chap- 
el, the Rev. T. L. Frost officiating. 
Mr. Morse had been in poor health 
for some months, bnt not until recently 
had his condition been considered real 
serious. Death resulted from Bright’s 
disease. 
Mr. Morse was a man of good _ prin- 
ciples, honest and _ industrious. His 
death has brought the bitter cup of sor- 
row to the lips of a large circle of friends 
and relatives. He was a member of 
Col. H. P. Woodbury camp, 149, S. of 
V., the Carpenter's union, and of the 
chemical company of the fire depart- 
ment. 
He leaves a wife and three small chil- 
dren, a sister, Miss Lila Morse, a broth- 
er, Frank Morse, and a father, Thomas 
Morse, to mourn his loss,

An important real estate transaction of 
the past week in Manchester is that by 
which the whole of the estate of the late 
Samuel Cheever left to the Baptist 
Foreign Mission society, comprising 
some 60 acres in all, is transferred to 
Leonora F. Gorman. This includes the 
Powder House Hill property, so-called, 
24 acres in all, extending from beyond 
the standpipe to the Channel in the cen- 
ter of the town, to Friend’s court, and 
to Elm street and town property; also 
9 acres on Pleasant street, adjoining the 
property of Mrs. Parsons, to Pine street; 
21 acres of woodland adjoining the 
Rockwell property on the new water 
works road; five acres adjoining the 
Cranberry meadow on the new water 
works road. Mr. Gorman says he in- 
tends to cut this into lots and put it on 
the market immediately. He is ready to 
sell any portion of the property. 
Another parcel of the Cheever prop- 
erty, that on School street at the head of 
Lincoln, has been procured by Frank 
P. Knight. This comprises about 34 
acres. Mr. Knight intends to improve 
the property.

Do not lie in bed in the mornings. 
The early bird catches the worm, and if 
you are up a sufficiently long time before 
him you may read your neighbor’s papers 
before he comes down to take them from 
the step. Your gains will depend largely 
upon the number of papers your neighbor 
takes, but one cent a day nets you $3.65 
a year, except in leap year, when you 
will make a cent more. In following 
out this plan remember it is not compat- 
ible with the obligations of good neigh- 
borhood to cut out items which you 
think will interest your wife.

Tell me not in mournful numbers that 
the town is full of gloom, for the man’s 
a crank that slumbers in these bustling 
days of boom. Life is real, life is earn- 
est, and the grave is not its goal; every 
dollar that thou turnest helps to make the 
old town roll. But enjoyment and not 
sorrow is our destined end or way; if 
you have no money borrow—buy a cor- 
ner lot each day! Lives of great men 
all remind us we can win immortal fame. 
Let us leave the chumps behind us and 
we'll get there just the same. In this 
world’s bread battle, in the bivouac of 
life, let us make the dry bones rattle— 
buy a corner for your wife! Letus then 
be up and doing, with a heart for any 
fate; still achieving, still pursuing, boom- 
ing early, booming late. 
The Tremont Theatre. 
‘“A Broken Idol,"’ the Hal Stephens, 
Williams and Van Alstyne laughing song 
play, in which Otis Harlan is giving the 
greatest performance in his career in the 
best stellar comedy role ‘with which he 
has ever been associated, continues 
blithely on its successful way at the Tre- 
mont Theatre, Boston. It is a well 
known fact the warm weather makes no 
difference to those who attend the ‘‘cool 
Tremont,’’ for the house is so construct- 
ed as to be perfectly comfortable within, 
no matter how sultry it may be outside. 
‘‘ A Broken Idol’’ is now in its fourth 
week and the Boston engagement bids 
fair to rival the piece’s phenomenal suc- 
cess last summer in Chicago where it 
was first produced. The new scale of 
summer prices which gives 200 seats on 
the lower floor at 50 cents, 200 in the 
first balcony at 35 cents and the entire 
second balcony reserved at 25 cents, af- 
fords a rare opportunity to theatregoers 
to see a really high grade show at popular 
prices. ) ee
