RESIDENTS HOPEFUL OF A PROSPEROUS
SEASON.

RESIDENTS MEAN LESS WORK FOR ARTI-
sANs-vIsIToRs BEGINNING TO ARRIVE.
Newport r. l., May Il (speciaD--The outlook for
the Newport has materially improved of late
and some of the dark clouds which hung over the
place have disappeared Nearly 300 cottage-owners
VIII occupy their own PAGES and this alone means
n good deal for Newport. To be sure. some Of the
cottage-owners in view OF their inability to rent
their places. will be involuntary visitors. but they

to the revenue OF the place The exodus to foreign
lands Is significant, and the business men at last

for several years. Evidence Of this is on every
hand. Cottage-owncrs who usually spend thousands
OF dollars upon their Newport estates have thus
far failed to employ either carpenter, painter or
mason. Less work Is being done this year In the
cottage section OF the city than ever known be-
