The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-02-23

down broadway, New YORK. ! met
gentleman who inquired after the health
OF the papers of Providence. gave him
to understand that they were enjoying
good health, and that THE NEWS was
bowling along right merrily. Yesterday
found myself at Narragsnsett Pier, the
guest Of DIR. Irving Watson OF the South
ern Rhode Island Press Club.
Did you ever visit the femous summer
resort in the winter season?
Everything Is there. The Casino,
Greene's Inn, the great row OF hoste'ries,
the bathing houses, the finest beach In
the world, but -
Yes, but. The gay throngasof persons
whose wealth enables them to make
summers visit to this place, were not
present.
They will be there, though, next season
The bowling OF the wind OF yesterday
will be succeeded by the summer zephyr
which will also be on hand at the ap-
pointed time.
Inoticed one palatial mansion being
erected and the mammoth stable that goes
with 1t. Norcross Brothers are the
abode which is TO be finished July
| first. Kinney, the famous cigarette man
ufacturer, who Is a triple millionaire, will
occupy 1t. 1t is a queer looking structure
after the Grecian style of architecture,
suggestive more of a mausoleum than
mansion or cottage" as styled at sea-
side resorts. The stable, / understand, is
to accommodate % horses ana any num-
Der of fancy carriages.
AS the guests were entering the Casino
| for inspection q new $500 rug had just
arrived to go beneath the big mahogany
| center table In the smoking and reading
| room. While going through the famous
| ball room one could almost hear the walls
| whispering of the incidents OF seasons
passed and gone. The dinner for the Press
| Club was served at Greene's Inn, and was
in every way satisfactory.
Standing in front of the life saving sta.
tion for a moment, i observed, coming up
the frozen road, solitary bicyciist. He
was riding Victor and going at great
pace. By the way, the Victor has
as special agent the Whittier
Cycle Manufacturing Company OF
the Infantry Building. They expect
great sale of this noted machine for the
coming season. The Victor for the men
and the Victoria for the ladies. Profess
sor Hodgdon, the Whitten Cycle Manu-
featuring Company's instructor, Is still
engaged at the Berkeley Riding Academy,
at ia Wey bosset street. He teaches you
how TO ride in from three to five lessons.
Whatever you do this evening do not
forget to step in to Wood d Watson's, 33
Westminster street, and obtain a stock OF
those innocent collars.
Narragansett Pier is one OF the few
places w here you can do business 10 weeks
In the year and live the rest of the II
months at ease.
Does it pay to be honest?
III this question was discussed by some
debating society, the member who had
the negative side of the argument would
doubtless cite instances where commercial
and business methods in vogue go to
prove that it does not pay to be
honest. He might refer to the fact
that foreign labels placed on domestic
goods stimulate trade, and that the arti-
ticial and spurious often take the place OF
the real and deserving. There Is glucose
in sugar, dried peas In coffee, marble dust
in -four and resin in beer. The consensus
of opinion of the great majority, never
theless, is that in the long run IL pays,
and pays well TO be honest.
Some great surprises will be found in
Ladd's by the ladies tho make the inquiry
at the counters of the dress goods depart
ment. Not since the III. w. Ladd Com
pany has been in existence has anything
in the live goods for women's wear been
quoted at so low a price when the quality
is taken into consideration.
DR.. w. III. Tillinghast pulls teeth at 200
Westminster street. tie also makes q
speciality of all kinds of dental work.
Make q note of it,.
Tomorrow is Sunday.
Do you notice how quick the weeks roll
around? OLD VET.
