Newport. R. l., June 25.-People look
to Newport for summer indications as
they look to the weather bureau for
weather probabilities. London is no
surer index of what the coming season
viii be than Newport is OF what the
summer will show forth, whether it will
he in the eyes of the summer resort he
tel men dull Or VIVA. the girls call
lively"
All the present indications point to
tic word lively" And nothing shor.
c. Spanish war could AiS.wS it. Tar
if thinkers affect it not a, all, por DO for
eign affairs make themselves felt. The
voice Of the money crOakc :s is silenced
in the clicking OF The lawn-mowers
and the grinding OF the steam rollers
! along the roads,
Newport is being made ship-sha9e for
the season, which, even at lAis date, is
what the photographers cell well I'M
der way"
There have been years when great
villas at Newport were closed. But this
saeson there will not be a closed door.
Tie last wooden barricade disappeared
from Bellvue avenue last week, and
: the NEST beated lace curtain is futter-
ing welcome.
Newport this summer is to be city
Of sensations. But there viii be a few
old diplomats here 10 act rs mediators
should the sensations turn affairs and
settle into differences.
The most pronounced carly sensation
is that Chauncey VI. Depew has taken
a cottage here for the summer. 1t ID
one of the Pinard cottages, on Maria
gansett avenue. Here cur Chauncey
Will keep open house until October For
many years DR. Depew has gone abroad
every June 10 remain until September.
But last year, during his absence, MS
friend and business partEer, Cornelius
Vanderbilt. was stricken with paraly-
sis. Both partners cannot summer in
h europe at the same time, 90 Chauncey
comes to Newport to keep house, while
his friend comes later to open the ia
nous Breakers"
The Oldest thing about the Depew
cottage is that il is located directly
across the way from the Wilson villa
where the Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jrs..
live. As Chauncey goes ont walking
cycling or driving h must meet
Young Nicely" face 10 face. The New
port sensationalists say that Or. De-
pew has selected this location pur'
posely. II IS lis sworn intention tc
reconcile father and son, and rs a medi-
ator and diplomat h has come to New
port and located twixt the twain. In
the work Of reconciliation he Will be
aided by Chauncey, Jr, who is only
a little younger than Cornelius, Jr.
The beautiful c.use Of the trouble
Mrs. Cornelius. Jr.. is TO have a very
CAV summer. Her mother, Ms. Orme
Wilson is to give q great ball for her
In August. and has already given out
the floral and catering contracts. A
Newport ball means a great deal this
wear for all things are now measured
by the ball which iIrs. Willie K. gave
for the Duke Of Marlborough two years
ago II means three bands Of music
one on the lawn. ons in the ball room
and one in the supper room. 1t means
two spreads, one a supper served at u
o'clock and the other square meal
at3. 1t means battalion Of receiving
hostcsses. and t means fayors that
would load a royal Christmas tree to
the ground. Put the Orme Wilson's
have what the bakers call the dough
for the great affair. and are going TO
need it all in August when they give
the best brd function Of the season.
! Another Newport sensation is that
Mrs. Grover Cleveland is to enter scci-
etv this sumner via the Newport gates.
Should this lady be on social position
