A few words about the electric 
power and light service! Two weeks 
ago today, The Breeze was unable to 
appear as usual on its publication 
day, Friday, because of some minor 
trouble with the electric wires in 
Beverly. Last week we were com- 
pelled to work nights in order to 
make up for the time lost, because of 
the power being off for parts of two 
or three days on account of moving 
a building in Beverly Farms. Yes- 
terday the power was off from 7 
0.15 at 
work until midnight in order to get 
the paper to press today. We com- 
municated with the Manchester 
Electric Co., to see if this trouble 
could not be remedied, but we were 
informed that inasmuch as the pow- 
er came from Beverly, they were 
completely under the control of the 
Beverly people, so far as furnishing 
power is concerned. We communi- 
cated with the Beverly Electric Co., 
and were informed that a building 
was being moved, which necessitated 
the power being shut off all day. 
The privilege of moving the build- 
ing had been granted by the Bev- 
. erly eity government. 
Now we do not care how many 
privileges the city government of 
Beverly gives for moving buildings, 
but we think it only fair and just 
that if the town of Manchester is to 
have its supply of electric power 
eut off for a whole day or even part 
of a day, thus inconveniencing a 
great many people, especially the 
business firms that depend on elee- 
tric power to conduct their business,

the power was to be shut off until

18th ANNIVERSARY. 
Col. H. P. Woodbury Camp, S. of V., 
. Manchester, celebrate Birthday. 
Col. H. P. Woodbury camp, 149, 
S. of V., of Manchester, celebrated 
its 18th birthday Tucsday evening, 
when a large gathering of inembcrs 
and a few invited guests, ineluding 
members of the Allen P ost, attended 
a camp fire in G. A. R. hall. Supper 
was served at 7 0 clock and this was 
followed by a svecial hour in which 
there was informal speeeh-maling. 
L. N. Cook, the camp comununider, 
was in charge of the evening’s -pso- 
gram, assisted by the euterfamment 
committee 
When the meeting was ealled to

Enoch Crombie of Allen Post, who 
has been pas to bis h «ie by 
illness, several weeks, was vailed up- 
on and he made prief remarks, ¢9)n- 
plimenting the camp on-ils work, 
ete: 
Lyman W. Flovd, the first clerk 
of the camp, and one of the prime 
movers in the organization of the 
camp on March 30, 1892, reealied in 
a brief way the life of the organtza- 
tion. He said -that Samuel  L. 
Wheaton was the first captain, and 
that at the time of organization, 
there was very few members enlist- 
ed. Now, after hard work, the or- 
ganization numbers 76, as large a 
percentage as any town of its size in 
the state can boast. The camp had 
been honored on several occasions by 
the selection of its members to high- 
er office, including Edward W. Bak- 
“er, who was at one time Senior Vice 
Divi ision commander; and the speak- 
ed had been honored by appoint- 
ment on the staff. The camp now 
needs new blood, he said, to keep 
the organization in the vanguard of 
the camps of the Mass. division: 
Division Chaplain Edward UH. 
Brewster of Norwood, who has re- 
tained his membership in the local 
camp, was next called upon. He 
spoke of the great pleasure he had of 
presenting a loving cup in behalf of 
the staff to Division Commander 
Warren of Abbington, last week, 
where as a boy he had known Broth- 
er Warren. He spoke at some 
length of the essential purpose of 
the existance of the order—the work 
of perpetuating the lives and noble 
deeds of their fathers. He upheld 
the position of Brother Gilman at 
the head of Boston City Relief Aid, 
saying that the distinction which he 
made and on which he was eriticised 
by the Boston finance committee, was 
a true one, and that he was right 
in distinguishing between paupers 
4 
and those receiving state aid. He 
said it was. the duty of every son of 
a veteran to do everything he ean to 
help these veterans, the men who 
gave their young manhood for their 
eountry. The time will not come 
when it is not necessary to keep in 
the minds of the present generation, 
the sacrifices made by our fathers. 
The young men are the ones in 
charge of things today. The time 
will not come when it is unnecessary 
to keep the memory of those days 
fresh before the eyes of our country. 
If we as young men fail in this, we 
fail in everything. Memorial Day is 
one of the ehief things for which 
we are organized. It is the day on 
which we perform the sacred duty 
which helps perpetuate the work of 
the veterans. The Son of Veterans’ 
~ chief business on that day is to make 
the memory of his father fresh in 
the minds of his country. Memorial 
Day is to be the great day of the 
nation. 
Fred K. Swett gave a very inter- 
esting account of his trip to New 
Orleans, speaking first of the life on 
the boat during the first days of the 
journey, to the Mississippi river. 
Tie described to some extent the city 
of New Orleans and the interesting 
sights to be seen, especially at 
the season when he was. there. 
He spoke of the great Mardi Gras 
celebration. On the return trip he 
stopped at the Mammoth cave in 
Kentucky and he gave an interesting 
account of this, telling of the many 
beautiful sights and features of this 
national attraction. 
A little vanity keeps a man keyed 
up to his best, while too much rend- 
ers him obnoxious to his fellows.

motive brought him?’’ Bub: ‘I

was a locomotive. 
The Northern lights, illuminating 
the sky Sunday evening, added to 
the beauty of an ideal Easter eve- 
ning. The moon shone brightly, and 
as the many hued lights rose from 
the North, extending toward the 
zenith, a very striking effect was 
made. The phenomena made its ap- 
pearance early in the evening in the 
form of a bank of clouds, but as the 
moon rose, the glow increased into 
a well developed rainbow of the au- 
rora. Many took advantage of the 
fine evening to watch the beautiful 
display of colors,
