The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-08-15

IOr MS or ner 1un was IN Qlrect ratio 10
the number of birthdays already cele-
brated. For instance, youngster
years old could get in for cents, while
his grandmother who was 73 had to pay
73 cents, and so on up and down the
scale. But the show was so good that
young ladies who only paid a quarter
felt as IL they had cheated somebody, and
the old people got more than their
moneys worth.
The idea was suggested by DIR. Rowe,
VINO preached at Shawomet Beach a
year ago, and 1t was carried out very
successfully by Mr.. l.. A. Kimball, with
the hearty cooperation of all the cot
tagers. The feature OF the show was the
solo by Mr.. Lawton, called the tune that
killed the COW, and the COW died right
there, thanks to Pascal browne, Mr..
Reeves bassoon player. This, however,
was not much worse than the playing OF
the Greens Island orchestra for the first
time. The leader OF this organization
refused to give his name. The Wilbur
quartet tried to sing "Silently They
Steal Away" but were obliged to illus
trate the song before its finish. A good
part OF the entertainment, however, was
of more serious nature, and IL was all
frst-class.

OLD HOUSES AND MODERN COTTAGES.
OF course it is well-known that the big
town of Warwick has y history, but il
good deal OF that historic interest centers
about numerous old buildings along what
is called the West Shore, and right i'm the
midst of the cottage clusters at every
point OF the beach, which puts out little
into the bay, and along the curving
shores OF the numerous coves. At River
view, for instance, there is the old Green
built considerably over a, CEN
tury ago. II was at first the property OF
the Nightingale family, passed to the
then TO Amos Green and next
to his son Moses, who was born there i'm
1915, and died there in 1892, after having
won the title OF -uncle TO every man,
woman and child in old Warwick. Now
the possession OF the estate is a question
in the courts, and the heirs of Mrs. Stone
and Mr.. Albert Engstrung are the rival
claimants. The house is on bluff just
north OF the old mill cove, politely
known as the Paschuchammuck Cove.
But it was not high enough TO escape the
fury of the September gales i'm 1915, when
the old kitchen was flooded and a five
foot back log was floated out OF the
fireplae, and found later on
Conimicut Point. There Is brick enough
in the chimney to build modern tene-
ment.
GRAVES OF THE SLAVES.
In the orchard back OF the mansion
there is a row OF IL sunken and unlettered
stones, which mark the graves OF as
many negro slaves, at one time the pos-
session OF the Nightingale family, and
probably the last Of their kind before the
abolition OF slavery in this State, and In
this obscure burial lot are the old stones
Of the grist mill, now cracked with the
heat OF thousand clambakes.
THE oRUEsoME HENYARD.
Across the cove and in the rear OF the
Did Lippitt house In another burial lot
strewn with old-fashioned blue stones
hat bear the birth dates and death dates,
lnd tho opitaphs Of all the carly Lippitts.
But they are fat now. There In a wire
netting around the plat and Shubel Cady's
hens scratch around the stones of The
