THE NEWPORT SET.
An Authority Who Affects to Write
From the Inside.

From the Baltimore Sun.
That very serious weekly, the Independ-
emit publishes an article in its last issue
on 1.-THE Newport Set" The editor in
forms his readers that 1.-THE writer OF this
article is a member of family known
throughout the country for its wealth,
and that flor many years the leisure Oh
his summers were passed at the resort.
Surely this gentleman ought to. be good

First of all, he asserts that Newport is
absolutely indifferent TO censorious> crit

due to the influence of foreigners, great
number of whom pervade Newport In the
season. ''They bring u.s. says the writer
In the Independent their indifference Tor

This famous resort is the one place In
the United States where naval officers
no matter how accomplished or well-bred
are snubbed. This, 1t is stated, is also
due to the influence of the foreign ele-
ment.
The writer in the Independent is more
severe in his structures on the smart set
than Col. Henry Watterson. Newport
according to this representative of gid
: ed society, is sadly demoralized. 1t is
gradually reaching the point at which
1t will have as unenviable a reputation
as the shariest European resort That
is the testimony of one who has watched
its development for many years, and is
heartily ashamed of the tone Of its So
ciety.

Lady Cunard Is visiting this country.
Unfortunately she will not be able to go
out very much this winter. on account Of
the death of her stepfather, Mr.. Tichenor,

a great abundance of that quality called

quante and very smart. in the English
acceptation of the word. We people over
here call 1t stylish" Her mother mar
ried Mr.. Tichenor and they came east.
She had lost her father when a little
child, and she was consequently devoted
to her stepfather, who married her moth

She was very great friend of Miss Wynn

was knighted. Prince Poniatowski met
her and followed her to Oakland. He de-
termined to marry her. but she would not
listen to his suit. She met Sir Bashe
Cunard in New York. The wedding was
a very quiet one. He was the heir of the
Cunard family controlling the steamship

FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER
WILLIAM SHARKS AND AsHUR JEW
ELL IN CRIMINAL COURT.
They TerrOrixed Persons on n Green
wood Interurban Car-Other Cases
I'm the Courts.

William Starks and Ashur Jewell, the
colored men who created a panic on a
Greenwood car last July, were tried in
Criminal Court yesterday, charged with
assault and battery with intent to kill.
The evidence was heard and the case was
taken under advisement until this morn
ing.
Starks and Jewell are described as two
very bad Kentucky colored men. They
were employed on the Richardson farm
near Greenwood, and on July boarded a
Greenwood 'interurban car to come to In
dianapolis. They had trouble with Con-
ductor John Foster and refused TO pay
their fare. They were put off the car near
the Belt Railroad. This angered the col
ored men and they waited for the car to
return on its south-bound trip.
The colored men boarded the car at the
Belt and Immediately started trouble. Con-
ductor Foster attempted to put the men
off the car. but they drew revolvers and
terrorized all the passengers. There was a
lively scrimmage inside the car, and John
Edward Sanders. marshal of Greenwood,
