An additional appropriation of 
$5,000 for next year’s work for the 
further improvement of Manchester 
harbor is asked for by Gen. McKen- 
zie, Chief of Engineers, U.S.A., in 
making up his appropriations for 
river and harbor work for the next 
fiscal year. Here is where Manches- 
ter can appreciate the services of 
Cong. Gardner if he can bring about 
this appropriation. He assured our 
committee who went to Washington 
last winter on the matter that he 
would do his best to secure some help 
this year. 
The Social Education Congress to 
be held in Boston on Nov. 30, Dec. 1 
and 2 will bring together many prom- 
inent educators. The object of the 
Congress is to emphasize the need of 
increased efficiency in social and in- 
dustrial training. 
Gunners have been more active 
than usual this fall owing to the fact 
the law has been off on some game, 
and many have taken advantage of 
the law by shooting everything within 
reach. One instance of this was the 
shooting of several handsome gray 
squirrels that have made their home on 
one of the Smith’s Point estates for 
many years, and have been quite tame. 
WHISPERINGS | 
Charlie Goon, one of the Celestials 
who conduct the laundry on Beach 
street, Manchester, had his queue cut 
off this week. At first glance this 
item may not seem worth recording, 
but to the parties concerned, namely : 
the barber and the barbered, it is of 
utmost importance. In the first place, 
it is the first pendant braid of hair on 
the back of a Chinaman’s head that 
Charles Frances, the barber, has ever 
had the experience to place a pair of 
shears in contact with. And in the 
second place it is the first time said 
Chinaman has ever had his hair cut. 
It means also that whatever hopes or 
aspirations he had of returning to his 
native home are now dashed, for a 
Chinaman who returns to his country 
minus his queue is doomed.

‘Gigantic Fish Trust Forms,” says 
the Thursday morning papers. Is 
John Bennett, the Nestor of Manches- 
ter fishermen, to join the trust? He 
says not. This venerable old fisher- 
man, almost 75 years of age, is 
daunted not by cold winds or high 
seas. He fears not a repetition of his 
experience of last year when he was 
blown off shore and was picked up in 
the vicinity of Thatcher’s -Island. 
Every morning he starts from the 
town wharf in his dory and either 
rows or sails down the harbor to the 
Breakers. Monday he returned a 
little after noon with over 100 pounds 
of cod. It is a wonder to other fisher- 
men where he gets such good fish. 
The other day he brought in one that 
weighed 27 pounds. He always finds 
a ready market for his catch. He has 
lived alone since his wife died a 
year ago. - 
Real Gstate 
And Improvements 
Preparations are now being made to 
rebuild about a mile and a half of the 
Essex-Manchester road, on the Essex 
end, this being brought about through 
the efforts of Col. Wm. D. Sohier and 
others of the summer colony. It will 
be a state road. Of the amount nec- 
essary for the work the State High- 
way commission have offered $400, 
the town of Essex $250 and subscrip- 
tions from Wm. D. Sohier and others 
$250 more, making a total of $900. 
Manchester has agreed to put her end 
of the road in as good condition as the 
other end. The Essex-Manchester 
road has offered one of the choicest 
wood-drives along the shore, but the 
wretched condition of the road in 
some places, especially on the Essex 
end has detracted much from the 
drive of late. 
A beautiful Italian garden is to be 
built upon the estate of Henry P. 
King at Pride’s Crossing, work being 
started there by Connolly Bros., of 
Beverly Farms, the early part of the 
week. The garden will be located on 
the water side of the residence. The 
work consists in part of formal gar-— 
dens, with pools, numerous walks, 
flower beds, rustic walls, concrete 
balustrade and a Temple at one end 
surrounded by obelisks. The designs 
are from Messrs. Little & Brown, 
architects, of Boston, and from the 
plans it would seem that this will be 
one of the most unique and original 
layouts on the North Shore.
