NEWPORT'S STATE HOUSE.
AN HISTORICAL OLD BUILDING FROM
WHICH THE DIGNITY OF USAGE AS A
CAPITOL HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY.

L
Newport r. L, Dec. Newport has cele-
brated her last Lection Day" that PECULIAR
and distinctive holiday which for more than
century and a half she has annually observed;
she has ceased to be one of the twin capitals OF
the State Rhode Island, the smallest Common
wealth in the Union, having been the last to
abandon this cumbrous custom; she has no
longer within her borders a state House, but
only county courthouse. On November the
people. by more than the necessary three-hfths
tote adopted the constitutional amendment
which made Providence the sole capital of the
State and abolished the May session of the
General Assembly at Newport. Since definite
action was taken for the erection of a magnih-
cent new State House in Providence these
changes had been foreshadOwed; yet, like most
reforms in Rhode Island, which is prOverbially
conservative and slow to move, they were
brought about with great difficulty, and only
after two proposed amendments to the consti-
tuition had been submitted to the people and had
failed to receive their sanction at the polls.
In the venerable building now abandoned as
a legislative edice each spring for more than
c hundred and fifty years the lawmakers of
Rhode Island have gathered in obedience to that
now obsolete provision of the constitution which
required that the General Assembly must hold
session annually the last Tuesday in
May at newport, ana an adjournment from the
kame annually at Providence" From the little

During the Revolutionary War the building
was used hospital at different times by
both the British troops ard the French allies of
the cOlOnists, and, like most of the other houses
IN the town, they left ii at the conclusion of hos
tnities sadly in need of repairs. Through all
the years that have followed the ancient struct-
ure has been kept in good condition but its
rooms are, Of course, small and antiouated in
Ityle, and had long ago outIived their usefulness
as places of meeting for the Legislature of the
State.
Ii was on February 20 1888. that the General
Assembly voted to authorize the erection of the
State House, or, as il was then called Colony
House. small wooden building, which had
served the purposes of the Legislature. had oc-
cupied the site, and this was removed and al
tered into a dwelling house. The new State
House was substantially built, after the manner
or those times and ii not until two wears
later that it first occupied for the business
of the Colony, Richard Monday was appointed
architect of the new building, which was to be
about eighty feet long and forty feet wide and
Peter Bours, Esbon Sanford, George GouIding
and George Manton were chosen to superintend
its erection. This Colony House, as well as the
similar building in Providence. served .he pur-

New York, Nov. 12.-The market for
cotton was very excited, very active
and decidedly higher today. The open
ing prices showed an advance of from
twelve to sixteen points and further
advanced eight to twelve points on
generally bullish conditions. There
were few intervals of weakness re-
sulting from profit taking and occa-
sional sales on the reaction theory.
But as a rule the market was most
vigorous with speculation broadening
rapidly and including a considerable
proportion of buying on investment
account. Covering was an important
feature. The great strength of the
market was largely due to killing frost
in Northern Texas and other impor-
tant points in the South, with ac-
counts from the Mississippi valley in
dicating that the damage by frost in
that territory last week had been more
serious than at the time assumed. The
Southern markets were generally
higher, while accounts from American
spinning districts as well as from for
eign spinning centers were also of a
bullish character. Cotton goods were
