Newport. sthe city by the sea" never looked so beautiful as now, and at this season of the year The smooth green lawns, the trees, the yiewss the flowers; and, above all, the magnificent water scenery, which meets the eye at every turn, prove strong attractions to the lover of Nature.
 No one can be here a few days without thinking it the loveliest place he ever saw The air is very exhilarating, the sky dazzling blue, and one feels when driving, walking, or bathing, as though they had been filled with a new tonic.
 The drives about the island are very beautiful. No expense has been spared to make the roads hard and smooth as 8 floor. The dust is laid by watering carts, and one must be hard to please who can not enjoy a ride along such delightful ways. ..-s ...-.... .....-.
 One ought to stay long enough to see the effect of moonlight on such scenes, and also to witness the ocean after a storm at sea. Nature shows all her different moods in Newport. The whole place has been reused to an unusual degree within few days by the arrival of the Viting ship from Norway on it's way to the Chi cago exposition.
 We were fortunate enough to be down by the harbor when she sailed in, and so had splendid view of. the queer looking ho crossed the great ocean, and weathered the storms and waves. There were twelve men on board, and they are all fine look ing, and worthy to be descendants of the famous Vikings. who, eleven hundred years ago, came over in just such a ship and saw these same beautiful shores. The people of Newport entertained these distinguished guests in a very cordial rang for fifteen minutes, and cannon wore fired to salute them. The mayor of the city met them with carriages, and they were taken for drive down Bellevue avenue, out on the ocean drive and back to the city, stopping at Touro Park to see the old stone mill which it is claimed was built by the Norsemen as a watch tower in the troublesome Indian times
 Touro Park was filled with people waiting to do homage to Captain Ander- sen and his fellow voyagers. As the line of carriages drove up the band played, men cheered, and ladies waved their handkerchiefs. A promenade con- cert was then given by the Newport band, lasting two hours. Afterwards grand supper was served in Masonic Temple, to which four hundred guests were invited, and later on public reception was given, and every one had the opportunity of shaking hands with the strangers. They left for New York in their strange ship after passing two delightful days, and will doubtless meet with a perfect ovation all the way to Chicago. A. F. J. R.

The coroner's jury Investigating the Ford's theater disaster has brought in a verdict holding Colonel F. c. Ainsworth, |, Contractor Dant, Superintendent Covert and Engineer Saase responsible for the death of twenty -one victims, by reason of criminal negligence on their part. Col onel Ainsworth is chief of the record and pension division and he was responsible for the presence of the killed and injured clerks in the old building which collapsed. Colonel Ainsworth was at the building every day while the excavation was in progress. The old employees of the build ing had told him that it was shell and a death trap. One clerk said that they were requested to go up and down stairs on tip-toe, and several testified that Col onel Ainsworth was held in abject fear by all. He is an able man and owed his rapid promotion in the army to his invention and application of an index to the thou sands of pension claims on file in the divis- ion. Much jealousy and heart burning was caused among those over whose heads he was passed. Contractor Dant, who is also found guilty of criminal negligence, has been in Respondent and hysterical condition since the disaster, and his wife says that his mind seems seriously af- fected. The other two men implicated have not been prominently mentioned at any previous stage of the case.

Two clever frauds have been working credulous people in Bloomfield recently, but they skipped out when the officers got on their track. Their game was the old envelope trick, where they appear to put twenty dollars in one of the envelopes in @ box of paper and then sell the box for $12 or $15. Of course the money is not found when the simple minded purchaser looks in the envelope for it. A number of victims bit at the bait.

TWELVE men have thus far jumped from the Brooklyn bridge since it was opened in May, 1885, Some of these have sur perhaps fortunately. The last one made the jump on Monday, evidently seeking death.

A New York wild-animal dealer says the prices vary as much as they vary for stocks. Afull grown hippopotamus fetches 5000. A two-horned rhinoceros, ten years ago worth $3,OOO, is not now to be found anywhere, at any price. Elephants vary from $1 ,25O to 2,5OO, according to age, size and training. "A good forest trained lion," full-grown, fetches $750 to $1,000, according to kind. Tigers-of which it is said there are no fewer than five varieties of royals alone-run from $500 to $750. These fierce fellows are obtained not only in India, but in Java, Sumatra and Penang. The south end of the Malaga peninsula, along the Malacca Strait, is opulent in tigers. Once they get taste of human being and they will risk anything for another. They swim over to the island of Singapore, to lay in wait for children, Chinamen and others venturing outside of the houses after twi- light and spring upon them as cat jumps upon mouse.
 LeOpards fetch $150; a black panther (from Asia) $20O to $500 A polar bear is worth $150 to $20O. These creatures suffer much in the summer here, and have to be doused with ice water. They are exceedingly bold and fierce when at large on the northern ice. The American black bear fetches $50 to $10O, and the brown bear only $39 to $50.
 Snakes have f1atter market now than stocks. The $25 and $50 ones have tum- bled to $10; but very big fellow say boa from the Amazon twenty five or thirty feet long, will still fetch $3O. Probably a deadly corba, from India, might be worth $25, but the almost equally deadly American rattlesnake wouldn't fetch over $3 or $4-or about the same as the dead ly fer de lGaace of Martinique.
 Its too bad that the closest approach to the human form divine, the detestable but amusing monkeys, are worth the least of all. They only command (according to this dealer) dollar or two apiece. But it must be that some cute monkeys will command much more than that; probably $50.
 The tapir, that somewhat pig-like crea- ture, with rhinoceros hide and a snout like short proboscis, is worth more than a monkey. Those from South America fetch $750, while those from Sumatra and that region fetch 800.

According to Dr. Gibbs, who treated Mir. Cleveland for obesity two years ago, the president will be compelled to take another treatment. Dr. Gibbs says the trouble is curable affection of the kid neys, and that the disease being cured the superfluous fat disappears. The system, he says, worked perfectly when tried two years ago, but was not followed long enough. Mir. Cleveland weighs, at pres ent, about 300 pounds.

THE relay bicycle race against time be- tween Rockville and New London was run on Tuesday. The start was made from Rockville at 8.30 a. m.. Changes were made at the top of Reeds Hill at North Coventry, and at Bidwell's hotel in South Coventry. Here the Rockville riders surrendered the work to Williman- tic riders. Seven minutes of time was gained between Rockville and South Gov entry; Willimantic was reached min- utes ahead of time; Norwich 20 minutes ahead, and New London at 1. 45 p. m.-15 minutes ahead.

Boston Commercial Bulletin: How is a mill to-day to sell the usual light weight woolens to be consumed next summer if there is possibility that next March for eign light weights will be offered at cut prices with reduced tariff? How can a clothing manufacturer risk an investment in woolens which cannot be consumed in- side of year, if within that period the value of his entire stock is likely to be cut down by the admission of cheaper ma terial, either free of duty or at lower duty? Last fall witnessed superb business activity, not because the Sherman silver law was not then in force, but because tariff conditions were believed to be se- cure. The present active condition of the retail dry goods trade is the last ripple of business boom 90 great that it put wages into the hands of every workman and even threatened to create labor famine. Un- certainty is the curse of business Work on the tariff ought to have been begun in March. Next September is better than next December. Next week is better than next September.

The Washington Post SAWS. Tn {

The Washington Post says: In defi- ance of hard work and the heavy responsi- bility resting upon him, the president is steadily gaining in avordupois. His in- creased weight has begun to be inconven- venient. Already the effort of walking has become burden, and MT. Cleveland finds himself forced to forego much of his customary exercise. This is a source of keen regret to him, and in order to re- duce his size, the chief executive is quiet ly pursuing the banting system. Two meals day is now all that he allows himself.
 Norwich Bulletin The Borden trial has in it hint of warning for most fami- lies. Lizzie Borden said in the hearing of her dressmaker that her step-mother was "a mean old thing" and somewhere at some time she had said impulsively "I hate her!" Now these are not very un- common expressions, or thought usually to be of much importance; but in court they are hung like pail above the head of the suspected prisoner, and they do not look well. Unguarded speech is hard to explain or defend, and no one knows when he may be confronted by it.

 the United States has no right to order the Chicago exposition closed on Sunday There is not so much to regret in this. The exposition if closed should be by the force of public sentiment, rather than by form of law. Public sentiment cannot easily be boiled. That in favor of the opening has been the more noisy in ex- pression, and has won. Leaving out the moral aspect of the thing, we cannot but regard it as mistake to obliterate the distinction between Sunday and other days. For, if men may, without rebuke, use the Sabbath to carry on secular busi- ness-and this is what the new departure tends toward-the gradual obliteration of the day of rest is sure to come. The workingman, in whose interest the new departure is claimed to be made, is the one who, of all men, should stand by the Sabbath as holy day, day of rest, set apart for religious purposes, and from the advancement of ordinary work day pur- suits
 THE acquittal of Lizzie Borden, reached by the jury on Monday evening, was foregone conclusion. There was nothing for the judge to do but indicate such course to the jury, and nothing for the jury but to take that course. Lizzie Bor- den is not proven innocent, but the law so regards her, and the great bulk of the oil believe her to be innocent. The police of Fall River stand before the world in an unenviable light. They unquestionably first created theory and bent all their efforts to support it, and the real criminal is probably yet at large, with year of time to obliterate traces of his guilt. Ter rible has been the experience of the young woman now believed to be innocent. The bloody tragedy in her home was suf- ficiently awful, but that which has fol- lowed has been more terrible still Friends are now doing all they can to wipe out sad remembrances by evidences of warm friendship and confidence. If innocent, as those who best know her, believe her to be, the present is a sweet rest from the troubles of an awful past.
 A story is going the rounds about the way in which ex-Governor Robinson was retained to defend Lizzie Borden. Among the prisoners many Fall River friends there was as much contention as to the filling of the part of senior counsel, as there is in wealthy family whose child has fallen desperately ill and who seek to find the one physician who can heal her. Finally, Governor Robinson was chosen. He declined to accept 8 retainer until he had seen and talked with the prisoner. Criminal law is not his vocation, though before the trial began he had been sum- moned from Springfield to take leading part in the trial of Asa Potter, the May erick bank president. He saw Miss Bor den in the Taunton jail and heard the whole story of the case from her. After he had questioned her on it's details he gave her his hand and said, ''I believe you're innocent, and will do my part in trying to prove you so."
