Aristocracy of Beverly Feels
That 1t Has Been Snubbed.
Explanation Behind the Refusal OF
Mrs. Evans to Rent Her Cottage
to President and His Fam
lily Again.

Boston-The position of Beverly.
Mass, as the nations summer capital
Is threatened Mrs. Robert Dawson
Evans, owner of the beautiful villa
on Burgess Point, at which President
Taft and his family have spent the
last two summers, has refused to rent
the place again to the chief magis-
rate.
The action of Mrs Evans is no sur
prise to those who have kept in
touch with the social gossip OF the
Beverly colony. ALI summer 1t was
whispered that some of the old fash
Toned folks at Beverly felt hurt be-
cause Of the strict social lines drawn
around the presidents summer
home
Naturally, the president cannot keep
open house. and the residents admit
this. But, they have insisted, there is
no aristocracy of both ancestry and
wealth at Beverly that is entitled to
consideration. And because, SO these
gossips maintain, there has been dis
elimination against some of those fam
lilies in making up the presidential
calling list, the time has arrived for
discreet retaliation.
Wild horses could not drag from
any Beverly matron an admission that
any such reasons lie behind the re-
fusal of Mrs. Evans to rent her cot
tage to the Tafts for next year. Mrs.
Evans herself offers the suggestion
that she has decided to pull down
the pretty building on Burgess Point
and erect an Italian villa, with spa
cious gardens, in its place. 1t is fact
that she has not deemed 1t worth
while to repaint the cottage this year.

enormous wealth makes her independ

NINE WATCHES IN AN HOUR
New and ingenious Machinery Makes
II Possible to Manufacture
That Number.

Elgin, Ill.-It is claimed that the
methods of manufacture adopted by
one American company enables 1t to
set up, ready for trial within an hour,
no fewer than nine watches. This rap
idity of manufacture has become pos
sible by reason of the ingenious ma
chinery invented for the making of all
the parts of a watch.
The speed with which the various
narts are turned out Is truly remark
able. Great sheets Of brass and steel
are cut and rolled into ribbons, and
nunched out into wheels at the rate Of
10000 day from each punching ma
chine. Workers drill the 81 holes In
the roof of the watch as fast as they
can count, other operatives counter
sinking the holes almost as quickly.
Brass wire glides into machine
that measures OF the length Of part,
turns 1t, puts screw thread on each
end. and actually screws 1t In at the
rate OF 1000 day. The screws are SO
small that it is said 30 gross of them
can be put In a thimble, while Of
others there are 1000 gross to q
pound.
Balances are cut from the solid
steel. ground down, worked up, and
drilled with their Is screw holes

band died in July, 1900, he left her a
fortune estimated at s12,O00,000 invest

What the social aspirations Of Mrs.
Evans are, IL any, is not known, but
certain 1t is that she has decided to
close her property to the Tafts. She Is
reported to have told her intimate
friends that the comfort of her own
guests has been interfered with by the
activities of the secret service agents
surrounding the presidents home.
Mrs. Evans occupies another cottage
near the one she leased to the Tafts,
and one of her familiar complaints has

Those who have spent this summer

They say that Mrs. Evans was delight
