HENRY CLEWS' COTTAGE.

is that in the heart of the town, directly
opposite the Casino, owned by James Cor
don Bennett, but now closed. 1t is brave
old mansion of graystone, whose pillars
are overrun by honeysuckles and whose
grounds are kept in the most perfect order.
A block or so down Bellevue avenue is
the villa owned by the Duchess de Dino,
formerly Mrs Fred Stevens, who relin-
pushed all the joys of Newport and its So
cial prestige for an uneventful European
existence.
A magnificent mansion is that occupied
by Ex-Governor George Peabody Wetmore.
1t is of graystone, surrounded by acres Of
lawn dotted with grand old trees of every
variety. 1t is inclosed by a stone wall, but
not of sufficient height to conceal one of
the most beautiful of Newport homes. The
mansion is estimated to have cost $600,00
and costs $4,000 year to keep it up.
The house once the property of Vice
President Morton, but now belonging to
J. Townsend Burden, is always pointed
out to visitors. Mr.. Burden proposes to
make it over another season. Very near
are the Astor villas, and pumped between
them is the white marble palace of VIII

What a Steamer Captain Saw.

An unusual spectacle is said to have
been witnessed the other night by Captain
Otis Ingraham, of the steamer Penobscot,
off the Maine coast. The air was very
clear and the sky was cloudless. The cap
tain could see the lights on Thatcher's
island, Isle of Shoals, Boone island, York
harbor, Cape Elizabeth, Seguin island and
Monhegan-something unprecedented in
his experience AS the distance from
Thatcher's island to Monhegan is eighty
seven miles, the clearness of the atmos-
phere can be imagined The only time
when all these lights were reported to have
been seen before was by Captain Roix a
number of years ago

The ubiquitous rodent is always the bette
noir Of timid females. The other day the
antics of two young women produced a
considerable commotion in a railway car
that was just entering Boston. The girls
managed TO calm themselves sufficiently
to tell the conductor in confidence that
they believed it was a rat. The conductor
grasped the animal through several thick
nesses of summer fabrics, and when un-
covered it proved to be a playful kitten.
