NEWPORT, Dec. 12.-Some person has
made an effort to get between the mes.
sengers aud newsboys and their friend,
Mrs.. F. W. Vanderbilt An anonymous
letter, prepared by woman and dated
Boston, December, was the instrument
used. The letter read:
"MRs. VASDERBrLT:-1s see by morn.

newsboys at Newport on Thanksgiving.
Do YOU not know that you are making
every one OF theseanarchists and worse,

OF them would cut your throat, go to
speak, and make the worst OF citizens
Beware OF them. It is the worst thing
YOU can do to encourage them"
Some friends OF Mrs. Vanderbilt have
charge OF the letter and are trying to
locate the writer, who they believe is a
woman Of social prominence, but OF a
jealous disposition. Everybody here
familiar with Mrs. Vanderbilt's chart.
