The Charms of Newport.

Potter Palmer, having recently pur-
chased a dozen acres at Newport, will, it
is announced, erect there the usual sum-
mer home. That he should do so con-
Germs no one but himself But why any
one should want to is different guitar
1t has streets that could be duplicated in
Norwich, others as unlovely as any at
Cape Cod On Bellevue avenue and
thereabout property is rated at S150,000
the acre. You may rent there, if YOU like.
Il very fine house. For six weeks it will
cost $4,000 dollars. There is no reason
for such values. The advantages are not
compensatory. Newport has not the
charm of the country. 1t lacks the en-
Elements of town. There is no scenery.
There is no snap. Were half a dozen
families to go basking elsewhere the place
would share the fate of any other whaling
town from which the whalers have gone
1t was the big fish that made them pros
porous. 1t is the big fish that make New
port what it is. Nothing else. Wake
hurst, Mr.. Van Aliens seat, which in de-
sign and appointments is the most salts
factory residence there. has not 4 glimpse
of the sea- The Breakers, the seat
of Cornelius Vanderbilt, is finer
and more unhOmeiike than many
a royal palace. So. 100, is Marble
house. The one fronts, the other cores
on the ocean. And yet if their occupants
wish for a dip they must go mile away.
On Bellevue avenue there is no bathing
of course. By way Of compensation the
majority of the villas are so ncighbOrly
that they have the air of being semi-de-
tached The others have the prosperous
look which you encounter in Western
towns. Where is the charm in that?
From no point of view may the ma ked
eye discern one feature, even climatic
which allrIres. The sole attraction is the
society. This is indeed unique. Never
perhaps save in the petty and pretty
Italian courts of earlier days has there
been gathered together a set of people
SO rich, so good-lOoking, so idle, 50 pro-
foundly uninterested in anything but
themselves, as those who congregate
there each summer. 1t is a privilege, of
course. to be in such fine company. 1t is
like lolling in club of millionaires where
Il few of the members think and none
have emotions. Such a pastime may be
sedative, but it is hardly eXhiIarating: yet
such is the sum and substance of New
port life.-Edgar Saltus in Golfers
Weekly.

The narrative changes toward the end
To mingle with the descendants of these
ull-conquering pioneers came the emil
grants of an old world-not the kind that
first settled our New England states, but
men of a lower stamp, often the scum
and outla wed element of dissatisfied and
decaying monarchies. They came at n
time when the wildernesses were cut
down. when the barren fields had been
enriched by the labor of four general tons,
when the rewards of past endeavor and
deprivation first began to glimmer upon
the horizon. They injected new blood
into the youthful nation, new ideas of
living, notions OF new institutions and
new ideals Of existence. They spread out
in ever-increasing numbers upon Il land
opened by the pioneers. They swarmed
IN the cities-French, Italians, Germans,
Dutch. Celta, Savs, men of the Latin
races and men Of the Orient. Agricultu-
raj conditions under the control of this
mixed multitude We're bound to change
Our government and institutions had all
they could do to resist the insidious en-
roachment and to withstand the infiu-
ence of an element alien and unsympa-
thetic 10 our life. But what our govern
ment succeeded in doing with difficulty
agriculture failed to do, and she became
distorted. INSTRUCTED, perverted.

The most extraordinary township in
England is that of Skiddaw, in Cumber-
land. 1t contains but one house, the oc-
cupier of which is unable to exercise the
privilege of voting, because there is no

church or other place of worship or as

NEPTUNE'S FEAST.


.'Festo uuid potius die. Horace.
''What shall we do, my Lyde, say,
To celebrate this festal day?
See the sun wheels to his decline.
Haste then, it's time TO breach the wine,
Our oldest wine shall quit its rest,
For Neptunes feast demands the best.
Neptune, the green haired nymphs among,
Wen praise in antiphonal song;
Your Tyre shall themes divide between
Latona and the huntress queen.
Then. in a song, We'll celebrate
The praise Of her who keeps her state
At Cnidos and the Cyclades,
Which gieam afar across the seas;
And ofttimes chooseth to repair
To Paphos' sweet pellucid air,
When through the blue is borne afar
BY snOwWhite swans her glittering car.
And last. to Night we will rehearse
A holy. high, and solemn verse
From Poems from Horace, Catullus and
Sappho, and Other oets.i-Edward

William Starke Rosecrans was born at
Kingston, o., September 6, 1919. He
was graduated at West Point in 1912
and had attained the rank of first lieu
tenant i'll the army when ne resigned his
commission in 1912 At the beginning of
the War of the Rebellion he volunteered
as aide to Gen. George B. Mcclellan,
when the latter was in command of the
department of the Ohio. He soon re-
ceived an appointment as brigadier-gen-
eral in the regular army. Under his
command the battle of Rich Mountain
was won in July, 1861, and in the same
month he was appointed commander of
the Department of the Ohio He fought
the successful battle of Carnifex ferry

took part IL the siege of Corinth, gain
ing as commander of the army of the
Mississippi the battles of Iuka and Cor
NTH. He took command Of the army of
the Cumberland i'll October, 1862, and
won the battle of Murfreesboro in the
last days of that year. In the summer
of 1863 he crossed the Cumberland noun
tains and the Tennessee river and con-
fronted the rebel army under Gen. Bragg,
who defeated him in the battle of Chicka-
manga in September of that year. Sever
al weeks later he was relieved of the
command of the army of the Cumber-
land. The next year, in command of the
army of the Missouri. he repealed Prices

from the army. He was United States
minister to Mexico in 1868 and 1869.
