The jScandinavian Sewing circle 
connected with the Beverly Farms 
Baptist church met last Friday eve- 
ning with Mrs. George P. Gregor at 
the Dalton estate. There were 36 
present. Miss Semple of the shore 
colony very kindly loaned her 
graphaphone for the occasion. Re- 
freshments including Swedish sweet- 
bread, cake, coffee, etc., were served. 
The affair was a very pleasant and 
enjoyable one. The next meeting of 
the circle will be held Friday eve- 
ning, August 16th. 
Mrs. Chas. W. Perkins has con- 
eluded her visit with her sisters 
Mrs. Hooper and Mrs. Ober of Hale 
street and returned to her home in 
Chicago last Monday. 
Many of the Beverly Farms 
streets looked after by the City are 
reported to be very much in need of 
surface repairs. Some crushed stone 
to fill up the holes and painted over 
with road oil would help very much.

Making Survey of Danvers River 
For Tide Gate Plans 
Agents of the State board of 
health are making a survey of North 
Danvers and Crane rivers for the 
purpose of learning what influence 
the building of tide gates across the 
mouths of these rivers will have up- 
on the streams themselves. The tide 
gates are called tor by the prelimin- 
ary plans for a new bridge between 
Salem and Beverly to take the place 
of Essex bridge, now commonly 
called Beverly bridge. 
At the present time tide water 
flows up the rivers to their sources. 
The rivers have a considerable wat- 
ershed, and it is possible that the 
building of the tide gates will con- 
vert them partly into fresh water 
streams, 
The gates could be made to hold 
back enough fresh water to fill the 
rivers, if it were desirable to do so. 
To learn if it would be desirable to

Convict Ship Now In Boston. 
Considerable numbers of visitors 
are being attracted to the famous 
old British convict ship ‘‘Sucecess’’ 
now berthed for exhibition at War- 
ren Bridge near North Station, 
Boston. Judging by the comments 
of the sightseers and the remarks 
inscribed in the visitors’ books, the 
weird old hulk with its rows of 
gloomy dungeons and its parapher- 
nalia of punishment and torture, is 
deeply impressive. State and city 
officials, particularly those associat- 
ed with the police and prison de- 
partments, clergymen and navy 
men, are amongst the most inter- 
ested coming on board. How 
thoroughly evil was the working of 
the penal system of the last genera- 
tion, with what might be ealled its 
automatic manufacture of criminals, 
is fully illustrated on this unique 
vessel, which besides has another 
interest in being the oldest ship now 
afloat, a wonderful tribute to the 
old-time builders of ships.
