As to Castle Hill Farm! 
Fx-Senator Geo. A. Schoefield, who 
is chairman of the Ipswich board of sel- 
ectmen, has the following to say in his 
paper, the CAronicle, relative to the pur- 
chase of the famous Castle Hill Farm at 
Ipswich by R. T. Crane, jr., of Chi- 
cago, as recorded in last week’s Breeze: 
“Castle Hill Farm has at last been 
sold and the deed recorded, the purchas- 
er being a Mr. Crane of Chicago. We 
notice that the deed purports to convey 
sand, beaches, in fact everything between 
the Atlantic ocean and the adjoining 
owners on the land side. The pur- 
chaser knows the town of Ipswich claims 
to own a large part of the territory in- 
cluded in the boundaries of that deed. 
““The people of this town have for 
nearly three centuries enjoyed, not by 
permission of any man or men, but un- 
der a claim of public ownership, the 
right to the full and free use of the beach 
and sand hills. The records of the town 
show that the beach and sand was re- 
served for the public forever, and, if we 
know the people of Ipswich, there will 
be as long and as strong a fight to retain 
those rights as was made against the 
wealthy residents at Newport, R. I:, by 
the people a few years ago. In that 
fight, the people won in spite of wealth. 
We believe that the people will win in 
Ipswich if an attempt is made to deprive 
them of their rights. 
**The late John B. Brown always said 
that he wanted to do something for Ips- 
wich. His estate has faded away and it 
is about certain that his “great school’ 
wasadream. Nota dollar to build it 
with appears to be the verdict. It 
is amatter of great regret that his ad- 
ministrator, Dr, Fairhall, and his legal

There are trans-atlantic rumors of the 
return to politics of Joseph Chamber- 
lain, ex-member of Parliament, whose 
romantic marriage with Miss Endicott of 
Salem, Mass., is a matter of social! history 
of the North Shore. It is recalled that a 
paralytic seizure has precluded him for 
some years from entering the political 
arena, but he is believed to be greatly re- 
covered and will enter again in the polit- 
ical contest in which for 20 years he was 
a notable figure.

colony, new secretary of the American

When the historian of 2010 writes of 
the gypsy moth which has cost Massa- 
chusetts a quarter of a million dollars and 
will probably cost as much more, wonder 
what he willsay. It has been a blessing 
inasmuch as it has furnished work for a 
lot of people, and a good many folks 
would be terribly disappointed if the 
moths were exterminated. The supply 
will be kept up as long as the state, cities 
and towns can be wheedled into appro- 
priating money for fighting the pests.—

The Postal Telegraph-Cable Co., on 
petition of its vice-president, Charles ©. 
Adams, has obtained an order in the 
New York supreme court permitting the 
company to change its name to the 
Transcontinental Telegraph Co., on or 
fter Feb. 17. 
advisor, Chas. A. Sayward, turned down 
the request of the selectmen for a peace- 
ful settlement of the boundary question 
before selling the estate. Their refusal 
to confer with the town, and the sale just 
made, apparently means that instead of 
Mr. Brown doing something for his na- 
tive town, that, the town must fight to 
prevent being ‘done’ out of its beaches. 
What a failure the whole affair has been 
and what a pity that it should be so! 
*‘No money for a school, no confer- 
ence with the town about the beaches, 
and fighting in court against paying the 
taxes on the personal property.’’
