visitors Improving the Time for
Cold Weather Is Coming.

II will soon be winter. The dimpling
surfacs OF Narrgansett Bay kissed by the
breezes will be rigid with ice. The clans
will retreat toward the center OF the
earth and evade the rake OF the deepest
digger. The music OF the steam pianos
will be stilled, the girarfes and Mt.
Hope goats OF the merry-go-rounds viii
stop chasing each other round the axis
and the chutes will cease shooting. Even
the watermelon will be thing OF mem
ory, the corn will be canned.and the fish
and the fritters VIII have passed into his
tory.
DO not disguise tho facts In the case.
DO not put of and say some other Sun
day will do for me to take my trip down
river.
He who hesitates eats no clans @ well
as cuts no ice.
As repeatedly pointed out in this col
umn, the people Of Rhode Island are
thrice blessed by being dwellers on or
near the shores of Narragansett Bay: 1t
is being at the seashore all sumer with
out losing pay at the same time. 1t IL
one long vacation. And Sunday, being
the day OF greatest leisure for the great
est number is the day OF rest and re-
cuperation and recreation: TO do this to
the best advantage IL is essential to take
a steam boat ride, and incidentally &c
eat clam or two and shoot chute.
All these things can be had here fol-
little money, and 1t is a pig investment,
paying 100 per cent dividends in health
and wholesome fun.

IDA FULLER.
A Sister OF the Famous Ia Loie Who Il
Also q Celebrated Dancer.

Also . Celebrateu dancer.
Everybody has heard Of the great La
Loie Fuller, the marvellous dancer, who
went to France and soon had the gay Pa
risian theater going set at her feet Not so
many persorss perhaps arc aware Of the
fact that there Is another Miss Fuller, who
does every thing that her sister does. Her
name is Ida. and she will this season tour
the United States at the head of strong
vaudeville company which will bear her
name. The explanation Of the compare
tive unfamiliarity Of American theater
goers with Miss Ida Fullcr's name may be
explained paradoxically by her previous
great successes, which happened ~ be
made In Europe. Had she failed there
sho would have returned to this country
long ago, but the hits which shs made In
Russia, France England, Austria, Portu-
gal, Italy, Germany and Turkey induced
her TO remain on the other side Of the
water for several years
A few seasons ago two young women,
Loie aud Ida Fuller both Of whom had
become comparative stage favorites in this
country, went on u sightseeing tour OF
Europe. When Paris was reached, they
both decided that n certain high class
vaudeville which they had for some time
had in mind would be apt to succeed
there. They at once set to work together
10 perfect the idea, which was nothing
less than the serpcntine dances with the
accessories OF those marvellous light effects
which have since become synonymous with
the name of Fuller all over the civilized
world. The result moro than vindicated
the Judgment of the young Americans, and
they soon became the craze I'm the most i'm
portant European capitals La Loic soon

after her great Partisan success came over
for short visit to New York with n COM
pany Of American stars In peculiar hy-
brid entertainment of which the only fea-
turc which proved at all attractive was her
dancing and stage lighting She soon
went back and wns welcomed moro en-
Enthusiastically than ever. Meanwhile Ida
had remained abroad and was winning
famc and fortune rapidly. During the past
season Loic was again secured NJ an enor-
nous salary 10 play brief engagement
at koster a. Balls music hall In New
York Her work proved such n hit that
her sister was contracted for to ill out the
season In precisely the same dances, which
are those, by the way, which she will give
during her tour this year.
One unique feature Of the Ida Fuller
company is that while II will he an exclu-
slvely vaudeville aggregation it will not
play In single vaudeville thenter In any
part OF the country, only tho high priced
houses being booked Whether this de-
parture will prove wise remains to bo

jectors expect IL will mark another stop

Peace has been declared between the

been battling together on the great pla-
teau at Rocky Point. 1t will be cele-
brated tomorrow by the finest dinner
ever served by the army Of Assem- blyman
Harrington's assistants. Thousands will
60 there because 1t is the regular Sunday
custom of thousands TO do so. And the
attractions do not end with the dining
hall. There are two theaters with first
class performances all the time. There is
q Ferris wheel from the heights Of which
one may look down on the roofs OF Bris-
tol across the bay. There is the tobog-
ran, that invention of some genius for
pleasure, and towering above them all is
the great chute.
1t is doubtful IL the people OF this
vicinity realize or appreciate Rocky Point
thoroughly. A theatrical manager who
recently visited the Point said, "If thin
place were within twenty miles OF New
York II would be beyon d money value. I"
Bet ween nature and artince the Point
has been placed upon a scale OF grandeur
and beauty not easily approached, and II
is fully equal to its subtitle OF "The
Queen OF shore Resorts. The season just
now is at its beighth everything is boom
ing, excursions are coming thick and
fast and are all heavily attended. All Of
the points OF interest are gloriously
patronized, 30 much 30 that 1t has been
found necessary to enlarge some OF them
to nearly double their original capacity.
The seaside music hall offers new pro-
gram tomorrow containing many ex-
cellent artists; Edison's vitssc Dpe remains
