Newport

This has been the gayest week that
Newport has had in many years and
the cottagers have been going the So
cial pace for all there is in IL In a
few weeks the season here will close,
but between now and that time the cot
tagers will give all sorts OF big func-
tions and when the season does close
it will do so In a blaze of glory.
The remains of young Vinson Walsh
are in a receiving tomb here and as
soon as Evelyn is strong enough 10
travel the remains will be taken TO
Washington for burial II has been
rumored that the Washes were to give
up Newport, but this is untrue. Mr.
Walsh Is greatly pleased with New
port as summer resort and next sea-
son he will be here even earlier than
he arrived this year
Miss Walsh is improving every day
and in a few weeks she will be able
TO go out for a drive. She knows OF
her brothers death She was told
early this week and like the brave lit
tie woman that she is she bore the sad
news and the pain OF the fractured
thigh like a martyr
The accident has put a decided stop
to fast automobile driving IN Newport
and this has been accomplished through
the efforts of the cottagers themselves
All this season the owners of certain
big cars have been speeding around
the Ocean drive and along Ochre Point
at a terrific pace. Little care is given
people or carriages on the road and IT
has become so dangerous that many
people are afraid to go on the Ocean
drive after dark. This week the cot
tagers signed and sent TO the city
council a huge petition asking that
some thing be done to put a stop to fast
automobiling and that this something
must be done Immediately.
AS a result OF this the police have
been instructed TO arrest all violators
of the speed law and instead of fining
the offenders they will be sent TO Jail.
Socially. the week has been the most
strenuous one ever. Every morning
during the past week We have had the

A DEADLOCK.

When Sir Frank I-ascelles was British
ambassador at Berlin he was invited by
the German Emperor to luncheon at
Potsdam on the occasion of the birth
day OF King Edward His majesty had
given orders that as the ambassador
drove to the station after luncheon the
band should play God Save the King
as long as his excellency remained In
sight. Sir Frank Lascelles, however, not
knowing OF the order, stopped his
cosSfI1naa on hearing the familiar tune,
and rose in honor of the sovereign The
result was rather humorous. The am
bassador remained standing as long as
the band played, and the band had or
ders to continue playing as long as
the ambassador was in sight. The
British national anthem was thus rem
dered again and again, until the EN-
peror at length grasped the situation
and laughingiy ordered the musicians 10
