SUCCESS OF Mr.. MANTELL.

A disappointment of considerable pro-
portions to Newarkers is contained in
the announcement that the success of
Robert Mantell's engagement at the
New Amsterdam Theatre in New. York
prevents his appearance, as originally
booked, at the Newark Theatre this
season. Nevertheless the opportunity
of seeing Mr.. Mantell in New York,
where he. is playing his longest engage
ment in years, in his notable classical
repertoire. is the n~ext9best thing, and
Newarkers who admire fine acting in
great plays will not be slow to seize it.
Louis XII" is one of the plays added
to the Mahtell repertoire, in which he
has not acted in this city. inc his sin
lister picture of the wicked monarch has
excited generous admiration. Mr..
Mantell appears in that play or

BEVERLY, Sept. las summer
Capitol Beverly is winning great re-
nown. Its days of Importance may be
waning, for it is but short time be-
fore President Taft will be steaming
away to Boston for his great banquet
with the Boston Chamber of Commerce
and away to the West and the South
for a sojourn of sixty days among the
people. But thus far the Beverly date
line has been throbbing morning and
evening. Although the President has
been working but two or three hours
every day-following his return from
the golf links-he has peen making
news. He has been seeing big people
at frequent intervals. doing things that
deserved being transmitted for the ms
formation of his countrymen, and
thereby making Beverly something
more than an empty name as summer
capital.
The contrast with Oyster Bay, long
the summer capital, grows. Beverly
already is pluming herself so that she
does not consider Oyster Bay in her
class. President Roosevelt often Sc
Guided himself for week at time,
once he had journeyed to Sycamore
HILL True he felled trees, Towed on
Long Island Sound, camped out a night
or two in the open for the benefit of his
boys, took a cold plunge in the salt
waters occasionally, helped get in the
hay when the showers threatened and
all that sort of thing. President Taft
has done none of those spectacular
stunts. He has not even taken a
swim in the Atlantic which washes
right up under the broad porch of the
Stetson Cottage. Certain Boston
papers in putting out flake" yarns
described the President as having en-
gagged a bath house at singing beach,
near Manchester, but it was not so.
He has not rowed out upon the broad,
shallow surface of the bay and has
only sailed once or twice in the Naval
yacht Sylph, which has been anchored
in the channel, stones throw away,
ever since the President brought Mrs.
Taft here IN early July.
The President has stuck tenaciously
to a simply program of golf in the

club or at his residence, two or three

! hours for business, and then a long
automobile ride with Mrs Taft and
other members of the family. They
say physical instructor, who is i'm
mensely pleased when he is addressed
as Doctor is reducing the Presl-
dents weight. 1t is hardly apparent
not SO apparent as the fact that the
President is rudy and sunburned,
! looks the picture of robust health, and
strong enough to shoulder many cares
of state during the next twelve months.
He has been feeling exceedingly well
under the golf exercise and is general
ly away in a big automobile for the
golf course by 9 clock in the morning.
He gets about three or four hours upon
the links before luncheon. In the "a
days that the President has been living
at Burgess Point, the climate has been
remarkably favorable. Only two or
three days has there been rain and then
it has been drizzle in the forenoon so
that the President was not prevented
from playing golf. He proposes to keep
this up for the thirteen or fourteen
days he is to remain. He may have TO
yield day or two but is resisting all
plans that would lose him his exercise
at golf.
The automobile rides have been taken
quite as persistently, although there
have been two or three afternoons so
rainy that Mrs. Taft could not go out,
two or three more afternoons, when he
was detained by conferences, such as
when he had a cabinet meeting of a
Saturday afternoon with Secretary
MacVeagh, Attorney General Wicker
sham, and Secretary Meyer, and again
when he was detained at long confer
ence with Senator A1drich, of Rhode
Island, and Secretary MacVeagh. Then
there was one day when the entire
family went sailing on the Sylph and
still another day when the President
went down to Gloucester, some eighteen
miles away, to visit with John Hay
Hammond and spend an afternoon
motoring out upon the Atlantic. This
was just before "Jack' was starting
for the West on business and suisse
quently to join the President on his
travels. Mr.. Hammond has been the
President S leading play-fellow at Bev-
erly. They are great chums. Two or
three times the President has run down

parade of the Essex Grand Army As
ISOLATION. Back of it is an interesting
story of how the persistence of Corporal
Alvin Fl. Hanscom, Commander OF John
H. Chapman Post, No. 49,, was reward
ed. Corporal Hanscom is veteran OF
the 61st. Massachusetts Volunteers and
also the son of veteran. The Asso-
citation is large organization of Civil
War Veterans in Essex County. The
county is both populous and patriotic
and sent very large quota of soldiers
to the war. They have an annual
gathering, which is very much OF an
affair. 1t is held at some large city or
town in the county, comprises parade
and other features, and is regarded as
a star event by the veterans. Beverly
has not had the annual meeting OF the
Association in many years because its
population of $4,000 is rather small
as compared with other cities in the
county and all in all it is not such
pa convenient meeting place. But this
year the association agreed to come to
Beverly because the President was go
ling to be here and because the 20o0
veterans and more who expect to
march in the parade wanted to pass
-before the President. Corporal Hans
lcom. as commander of the local post
entertaining the visitors, was comm1s-
stoned to invite the President to the
review. He started on his mission al
most as soon as the President arrived
in Beverly in early August. First he
went to see Secretary Carpenter Sec
rotary Carpenter told him the Presl-
dent did not intend to accept any local
invitations. for If he once begun there
would be no end to it and the time
he planned to utilize in resting and
exercising would be devoted to travel
ing around the vicinity of Beverly at
tending public functions. Secretary
Carpenter promised to bring the mat
ter to the President IS attention. The
newspapers hereabouts, that have a
peculiar way Of keeping such matters
alive, were constantly printing squlbs,
expressing the hope that the President
would see his way clear to review the
veterans. Corporal Hanseom called
again upon Secretary Carpenter and
pressed his request to see the Pres1-
dent. Tt was denied and then Corporal
Hanscom began to show his grit.
One fine morning, bright and early,
before the automatic had chugged
away to the golf course, Corporal Hans
com mounted his bicycle, rode out the
shore road past Town Sergeant Good
hue. who stands at the Presidents en-
trance. down the stretch of smooth pri-
waite pike to the big elm tree under
which the Secret Service men stand
guard, and asked to see the President.
Secret Service man John E. Washer
was on duty that morning. He told
the corporal he was very sorry but he
could take no one to the President ex-
cept on orders from Secretary Carpen-
ter. Corporal Hanscom replied that
he did not like to seem to be trying
to go over the head of Secretary Car
penter but that he did much want to
have a word with the President, to tell
him how much the veterans wanted him
to review them. He expressed the
opinion that it seemed little hard to
