PURE MINDED MIR. QUINCY.

Tie Boston Herald is very much
worked up over the fact that Mr.. Josiah
Quincy is being investigated by the
Senate committee on printing fer his
connection with the contract for the
patent Office printing. The COM
mittee consists of Senators Cor
man, Rawson and Henderson, the
two former being of the same politi-
cal faith as Mr.. Quincy. The Herald
does not hesitate to charge this nom par
tisan committee with being strongly
prejudiced against him Quincy, if not
in favor of the Norris-Pettis Company"
the company which formerly did the
printing. Mr.. Quincy has been clamoring
for chance-in the newspapers-to be
heard in his own defense, but when the
committee gave him the opportunity on
Saturday to be heard he endeavored to
postpone his testimony, and the refusal
of the committee to allow him
to hear the other testimony, before
giving his, causes The Herald to remark
that cit was characteristic of the way
in which Mr.. Quincy is being treated by
the majority of the committee in this
matter, that he was asked to make his
statement before witnesses had been
produced TO substantiate the charges"
He finally concluded TO give his testi-
mony and with naivete that is irresis-
tibly fetching he declared: During
June Of last year, through acts which
were openly performed, without the
slightest attempt at conceament.

HARBiNGERS OF SPRING.

The dry goods houses open up their
spring and summer novelties now a-days
before the crocusses get hardly up and
long before the first robin has under
taken the proverbially impossible task
of making summer, to say nothing of
the appearance of the early organ
grinder and the Easter bonnet. Next
in order comes that enterprising
industry of q new and remarkable
development, the bicycle trade, whose
opening business fo- 1894 The News to-
day celebrates by an instructive page Of
special advertising of great beauty of
design, the decorative effect of which
contributes to the general tone of this
newspaper which is every day present
ing its readers mechanically and typo
graphically better newspaper as it is also
improving rapidly in every department
of news and editorial service. Doubt
less the majority of NEWS readers will
be astonished at the size and Importance
of the bicycle business in Providence as
represented in this special advertising
page. and 10 these enterprising bicycle
men in field of trade that was un-
known few years back THE News begs
to extend the assurances of its distin-
guished consideration and to wish them
prosperous season.

THE LIEUTENANT AND HIS STORY.

Lieutenant Lucien Young, u. S. Navy,
gave the finishing touch to the fall Of
the opera-bouffe Queen of the Hawaiian
Islands by a racy story that indicates
that the Queen was, in plain language,
tight" during the closing scene of her
show. 1t is not strange that the naval
officers story with all its spiciness
was quite generally believed. Doubt
less, as a traveller of wide experience
and thorough man of the world, Lieu
tenant Young's contribution to contem-
poraneous history lost nothing in the
telling; but the lieutenant is u gallant
sailor whose reputation is too big to
permit of doubling the facts Of
his interesting tale. Young is
one of the bravest officers in the
navy. He first jumped into distinction
by jumping into the sea off the poop deck
of a crusier after sailor that tumbled
from the maintop. The ship was steam
ing rapidly out into the deep blue of the
Mediterranean and the lieutenant went
overheard without stopping to even
unloosen his closely buttoned
uniform coat. The seaman was disabled
on his way down from the maintop to
the water and the lieutenant saved his
life. Young was also one of the surviv-
ors of the i'll fated Huron, wrecked off
Hatteras, and he saved the lives of a
number of his shipmstes then. On other
occasions ashore, as well as afoat, he has
distinguished himself and has been
the recipient of no end of gold swords
and medals in testimony. He is good
fellow, close observer of things of the
world, and has enough of the element of
humor in him as well as strong sense
of fair play to make the Hawaiian fiasco
an especial delight and JOY.

SPLENDID SUCCESS
Dress Goods
Opening!

The ladies not only lavished
their warmest compliments on the
beautiful display but they bought
literally and ordered their spring
and summer costumes from our
dressmaking department-far be-
yond our anticipations, consider
ing the times. This gratifying
result emphasized again the in
fluence of low prices for the earli-
est, choicest and most exclusive
selections always the policy at
Ladd's.
The high character of this dis
play has never been equalled in
the history of our house, and never
have such low prices prevailed.
Remember, early selections are
the cream of the selections. Our
stock represents the first choice
from the very leading foreign pro-
ductions, and from it the earliest
customers secure the choicest
things.
The exhibition will be continued
in our third floor parlors this week.

Woodmont Cottagers Witness Thrilling
 Spectacle.

Woodmont Cottagers Witness 8 Thrilling
 Spectacle.
 Bridgeport, July 24.-Woodmont's col ony of cottagers had most thrilling experience yesterday, which nearly re- suited seriously to a party of five well known young society people. composed of Messrs. Drew Comstook and John Curtis and Miss Susie Nash and Miss Evelyn of Bridgeport, and Thomas Mo- Cormack of Brooklyn.
 Yesterday afternoon was a day when the Woodmont breakers are seen at their best. In 8 moment of daring Comstock, Curtis and Mccormack said it would be novel experience to ven- ture out g. short distance in rowboat and Miss Nash and Miss Evelyn Good sell, Mr. Goodselrs daughter, insisted on accompanying them. Selecting one of the staunchest of the boats, the party pulled out about 150 yards.
 When the boat had reached a point about 200 feet off the rocks and about midway between the Goodsell cottage and Great Rock, most dangerous of all when an immense wave came rolling in Then another came and oapsized the boat and left the five young people struggling in the water. After gallant efforts by a number of the people from the shore all were saved, with but lit- tie injury to any.
