_§. Reed Anthony and family have 
been spending a few days this week 
on the North Shore, stopping at the 
Essex County club. 
Otis H. Luke and family returned 
to Boston, recently, after a trip to 
the Bermudas. 
Otto Kahn of New York, who suc- 
eeeded in securing the Hals paint- 
ing, for which J. Pierpont Morgan 
was also a bidder, paid $500,000 for 
the famous family group of the 
painter. Mr. Kahn, who has been a 
summer resident of Manchester, was 
in Boston, some weeks ago, with 
Mrs. Kahn as the guest of Eben Jor- 
dan and family. Both Messrs. Jor- 
dan and Kahn are deeply interested 
in grand opera in Boston and New 
York, artistically and financially, 
and they have been responsible for 
the fraternal interests existing be- 
tween the two companies recently 
brought about. 
Will Open Summer Houses. 
The problem of opening summer 
_ cottages, the securing of proper help 
for house-cleaning and all that goes 
_ with preparing large and small sum- 
mer houses for occupancy, has al- 
_ways been a difficult one for many. 
F It will therefore be with much 
pleasure, probably, that North 
Shore people will learn that W. J. 
Creed, the Beverly Cove caterer, is 
going into this work this season in 
addition to his catering. After 25

Billie Burke in ‘‘Mrs. Dot’’ at the 
Hollis Street Theatre, Boston. 
Miss Billie Burke will begin a two 
weeks’ engagement at the Hollis 
Street theatre, Boston, on LHaster 
Monday, March 28, in ‘‘Mrs. Dot,”’ 
a comedy by W. Somerset Maugham. 
Miss Burke comes direct to Boston 
from New York, where she has had 
a successful three months’ engage- 
ment, in ‘‘Mrs. Dot,’’ at the Lyceum 
theatre. 
Miss Burke made her first appear- 
ance in Boston, as a star last sea- 
son in ‘‘Love Watches,’’ a charming 
little comedy adapted from the 
French. Her success in that piece 
was of the phenominal kind and it is 
predicted she will make even a big- 
ger hit in ‘‘ Mrs. Dot.’’ 
In the Maugham comedy, Miss 
Burke has the role of a young and 
pretty widow with an enormous for- 
tune. She is in love with a hand- 
some, but impecunious young fellow 
who seems to reciprocate her affec- 
tion, but who, for some reason or 
other, is extraordinarily backward 
in his love making. Mrs. Dot deter- 
mines to take matters into her own 
hands and deliberately proposes to 
him, And he—well, astonishing as it 
may. appear, he refuses her! 
Why? Oh, yes, he has an excel- 
lent reason, but it would entirely 
spoil the play to tell what the reason 
is beforehand. It is enough to know 
that Mrs. Dot finally succeeds in 
overcoming the obstacle to her hap- 
piness thereby proving conclusively 
that ‘‘ When a woman will she will.’’ 
Richards-Andrews. 
Married, Friday, March 18, at the 
Episcopal rectory, Mt. Pleasant, Ia., 
Miss Eleanor Chamberlain Andrews 
and Edwin John Richards. The 
bride is the daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Francis M. Andrews of Man- 
chester. 
Terrible Fire at Hamilton. 
As we go to press at 3 o’clock this af- 
ternoon we learn that terrible fire is 
devastating the small town of Hamilton. 
Residences all along the main street of 
the town are burning to the ground as 
fast as the flames eat their way through 
them. Help has gone from Beverly, Sa- 
lem, Essex and Wenham, and has been 
sent from Boston, too. 
The residences of Selectman Gibney, 
the Thomas estate, stable of the Myopia 
Hunt club, residence of Dr. Cilley, K. 
Brown and Mr. Mahan, are among those 
destroyed.

John W. Marshall has been quite 
ill the past week. 
The Haphazard club meets Mon- 
day evening, March 28, with Mr. and 
Mrs. F. C. Rand, Union street. 
Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Jones of Wash- 
ington street, have been housed for 
the last week with the grippe. 
A baby girl arrived in the home 
of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Bullock of 
Washington street on Monday of 
this week. 
Joseph Bradley of Pine street is 
convalescing after an attack of 
pleurisy, with which he was housed 
for about four months probably. 
Nathan Greenberg, the Kimball 
block cobbler, has rented the tene- 
ment on Tappan street, owned by 
George S. Sinnicks, consisting of 
four rooms and bath. 
Samuel Knights & Sons are remod- 
eling the building next to their of- 
fice into stores, one of which will be 
occupied by Revelas, brother of the 
former proprietor of the Manchester 
Fruit store. 
Frank L. Woodberry of Beverly 
Farms has accepted a position as 
gardener at the William Hooper es- 
tate at West Manchester and will 
commence his duties there on May 1. 
Mr. and Mrs. Hooper will return 
from Europe in June, probably. 
The Beach street, crossing came 
near being the scene of a bad acci- 
dent Thursday. As the 10.34 train 
pulled out of the depot, the gate 
tender in charge, lifted the gates, 
not noticing that an extra freight 
was coming down .the track at the 
drawbridge, .at a fast rate of speed. 
The gates were lifted and a carriage, 
owned by Charles Read of the 
Point, had started over the crossing, 
just as the passenger train passed. 
The freight came speedily on, and by 
the merest margin, just escaped hit- 
ting the carriage. There have been 
several of these close calls in just 
this way, within the last year, and 
it appears to us, that inasmuch as 
this is one of the most travelled 
crossings anywhere along the North 
Shore, extra precaution should be 
taken. A bell ought to be placed at 
this crossing, which would ring as 
long as there is any train within 4 
of a mile, approaching the crossing. 
With such a bell the man in charge 
of the gates would be warned of ihe 
approaching train. At all events, 
something should be done to safe- 
guard the pubite
