The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-07-23

After delightful sail from Providence
on one OF the fleet Continental
steamers = passing George Boyden's
famous Crescent Park by the way-you
reach this Mecca of millionaires, who
give ample evidence OF living with and
not without a plenitude of the medium
OF exchange called money, The alter
noon drive ON the boulevard is worth
witnessing, IL you care TO see beautiful
women decked in gorgeous raiment, and
solid looking men OF wealth, dressed in
the latest seasonable attire, seated In
stylish equipagcs, with liveried footman
and driver. Back OF every turnout, back
OF every occupant OF every turnout,
back OF the flashing diamonds, back OF
the sinister smile, back of the gracious
bow and nod of recognition, there Is =
history. The wealth was not acquired in
day or year, the rightful owners do
not always enjoy their income, the
seemingly happy couples are many times
masquerading for the benefit of the
rabble, who consider Ii a privilege 10 be
allowed TO reside in the same old antique
town during the summer, breathe the
same air, and to walk the streets ON
which they ride.
The thing which strikes one as pecu-
liar is that the hotels i'm Newport are So
far away from the shore OF course a
carriage quickly takes where the breakers

sands OF the shore, but IL would seem as
much better III the hotels We're near
enough to the water to see IL from the
windows and piazza. The fact is, the
railroad kings, the sugar monarchs, and
the rest of the muiti-millionaires have
bought up all the choice bits along the
cliffs, and erected there magnificent
palaces in which to pass possible six
weeks OF the year during the salty season.
With the exception of the Cliff cottages,
over which house Luis Roberts holds the
managerial veins, there is no place of
public resort anywhere near the shore.
Ii is quite possible that i'm the near future
this delightful site.
The people OF Newport, who were pres
ent at the exhibition OF the "Nlxon system
OF railroad telephoning" speak in the
highest terms of the invention, and
bespeak for the projectors OF the enterprise
an unqualified success. Since the exhi-
bition at Newport, other cities have sig
nified desire TO have similar exhibit
tion. The Nixon system IL in working

Nixon visited Taunton Monday.
noticed one human landmark while
in Newport in the person of Colonel
Vars, the noted whip, who has piloted
more noted people through the old town
than any man living. Presidents and
princes, governors and mayors, all along
the line, from the top of the list OF
notables to the bottom. He looks and
acts the same as he did couple of de-
cades ago.
Proprietor Nathanson and manager
Saulson of the Misfit Clothing Parlors OF
Providence and Pawtucket, who are now
I'm New York closing purchase of cloth
ing for next fall and winter, intend to
stop here on their way back, and after a
few days take run over TO Narragansett
Pier, and thence TO Providence. The
money raising sale, which was announced
for last Saturday, was evidently sue
cess 10 judge by their conversation. As
j understand il, they spent nearly si00 to
idence and Pawtucket stores, and demon
strated the fact that "it pays 10 adver-
tise.n
The local storelxeepers OF Newport who
depend upon the trade OF the summer
colony of visitors are evidently satisfied
with the present action OF the clerk of
the weather, as IL increases the number
OF visitors and consequently increases their
bank account, because as rule the sum-
mer visitor lives well, and pays good
prices promptly. A delightful place,
this Newport, which is just now APP
preaching the height OF the season, and
IL you have the needful, you can join the
happy, seemingly happy throng.
