AS OTHERS VIEW THE
GROWTH OF THE NEWS.

The Providence News. which was
started II years ago by John l.. Heaton
and Eliza Putnam Heaton. New Workers
temporarily settled in Rhode Island, and
whose fortunes were al one time dubious
has emerged into the bright sunshine of
success. and now appears from new
quarters, at Washington and Mathewson
streets. This newspaper has shown
brightness and enterprise. as well as
soundness OF political and social views,
from its beginning.
Now, with greatly increased facilities
and the sense OF settledness which the
possession OF a home gives. IL is prepar-
ed TO exhibit stronger features OF worth
and usefulness than ever before, and de-
serves. as we are sure II will receive, the
hearty Godspeed OF its contemporaries.
The issue in which the situation and
prospects OF The News are stated con-
tains 20 pages. and sets forth alike the
growth of the paper and the growth,
buslness-wise, OF the city OF Providence;
IL Is fully illustrated, and affords both I'm

reply TO questions as to whether and why
permanent residence Is increasing, some
of the leading managers have very kindly
given their experiences. Mr.. Judah. of
the Hotel Cecil, writes: II consider that
the principal reason why so many people
are taking up their residence In hotels in
preference TO private business houses is
naccount of the increasing difficulty in
obtaining domestic servants"
The manager OF the Holborn Viaducl
hotel writes: THE number of permanent
residents in hotels is steadily increasing
every year. One of the main reasons is
the gradual decrease OF reliable servants,
another reason Is the total absence OF
worry in hotels in case a man wishes TO
entertain his friends
w. Autor. of the Carlton, writes: THE
extent of the growth of permanent resi-
dents'in hotels who formerly maintained
their own homes is undoubtedly very
large. We think the chief reasons are
that modern hotels are luxurious and
comfortable to the highest degree. with
no cares OF household or servants; one
can go and come without anxiety as 10

The managing director OF the Royal
Palace hotel Kensington. says: 'The
principal reason OF the growth OF perma-
nent residence Is the difficulty OF obtain
ing servants" Many other managers
give the same reason.-London Mail.
