What the Other Papers say About the
New Daily.
From among the Kind expressions OF
goodwill called forth by the NEWS up
pearance the folSwing arv-Slected;
We have received the prospectus of news
paper soon TO be issued In Providence, x. l.
THE PROVIDENCE News Is the title selected Tor
IT, and the lines ON which r y VII pe wiIi be
sturdily Republican in politics, but VIII discuss
public questions with kairness and courtesy 10
sationalism. IL will be clean family news
paper" col
low. And that Il Will be carried out we 90 not
doubt, for the editorial conduct of the paper
win be in charge OF John l.. Heaton and EliLs
Putnam Heaton. The former Is an able ana
experienced newspaper man. The latter lsone
OF the brightest, cleverest and most lndeiati-
gable newspaper workers that ever welded
pen. IL was under her careful supervision anu
admirable direction that the famous womahs
page of the Recorder was brought 10 lls pres
ent excellence and popularity.
Providence is fortunate In the, prospect OF
having a newspaper edited by Mr. ana MIS-.
Heaton.-New York Recorder
And the Brooklyn Times says in similar
strain:
Mr. Heaton has made brilliant record as q
journalist. He Is aready, incsive ana orlglhal
.'all around" writer, peculiarly htted py en- en-
dowment and training for the position he has
assumed at the head of the new enterprise:
He has made an extended study or the thrlit
question In England as well as In this country,
and has written widely and convincingly upon
this theme. or his literary gifts his poems
and stories published in the Century and else
where give interesting testimony; His pun
gent essays in the North American ReUicp give
other evidence of his healthy versatility.
Mrs. Heaton, who like her husband, began
life with college training, has had persoual
q iah
tightening than fall 10 the lot OF many young
women. In journalism, with which these ex-
periences have been more or less directly asso-
Ciated, she has been from the outset an inter-
esting figure. Her work on the Brooklyn Times
attracted wide attention, and her work in New
York WAS chsracteristically original ana at
tractive. Her position in the very front rank
of American journalism has been gained by the
exercise of species of energy possessed by few
writers OF either sex. For a number OF years Mrs.
Heaton has been "A writer for the syndicates,
and her articles have made her signaturc, " h.
r. H." pleasantly familiar and popular
throughout the country. She Is a popular
member Of Sorosis, the Brooklyn Woman's
Club, the New York Press Club and other in
fluential societies. Moreover, she knows New
England like book.
No enterprise ever started with brighter
prospects than THE PROVIDENCE News.
There, Is plenty OF money and brains, and
Providence has the reputation OF knowing
good thing when 1t sees IT,
The Saturday Gazette, of Boston, says
Success to it Providence needs Re
publican paper" and the Hcrdids Proyi-
dence special printed last Sunday:
The new Republican daily is soon to be issued.
IL has taken a good deal OF argument To con-
vince the public that the paper is to be
20 this time. They have heard of its coming
so many times that they are 10th to believe
that IL Is To be published; nevertheless, THE
PROVIDENCE NEWS will positively make It's
bow to, the public in less than 10 days. 1t is
las rTa mt IL IN han nAn fan as N
hrst-class paper should be. IL Is to be q party
organ for the whole party. . Locally
the newcomer ought 10 be all right. Messrs.
Aver and Rogers OF the telegram this week
severed their connection with that journal To
go over 70 the NEWS. Mr.. Aver Is an all-round
sporting man, with a comprehensive know
ledge of past events and fully capable OF COW
erihg anything in the future. Mr.. Rogers is a
clever man about town.
The Providence World-Rccord of Sept.
IL said:

tho new Republican daily, is well known, not
only In newspaper but in the literary circles
of this country. His associate is To
be charming lady, his wife, Mrs. Eliza Put
nam Heaton, woman OF rare attainments,
who, over the name of ELLEN Osborn" Is
well known. She has been connected with
the New York Recorder. Mr.. A. J. McCon-
nell, who takes charge Of the mechanical de-
partment, Is a gentleman of much experience
and broad influence. The paper begins its
career under the happieSt auspices such men
and women will be an addition to our city.
The Wonldn's Journal of Boston, natur-
ally attracted by new departure in jour
nalism involving women's interests, said
in its last issue:
Mr.. John l.. Heaton and Mrs. Eliza Putnam
Heaton will be joint editors of the new Re-
publican daily about TO be started in Proyi-
dence, X. i. Mrs. Heaton has been editing the
womans page of the New York Recorder,
which was the first New York paper 10 devote
q daily page 20 women's interests, and under
Mrs Heeton' editorship the experiment proved
eminently successful Mrs Hcaton graduated
from Boston University in 1850, at the head Of
her class. Upon her marriage she settled in
Brooklyn, and beanie associated with her
husband in his work on the Brooklyn Ddily
Times. Both Mr., and Mrs. Heaton are in full
sympathy with progressive ideas. The Wo-
MANS JOURNAL Is glad that so influential a
paper as The providence NEWS promises TO
be, will be under such editorship.
The Union Printer said:
A long talked-of Republican newspaper will
make its appearance in two weeks from now
in Providence, and will be called the NEWS.
