1t is safe to say that no stranger is
ever disappointed with his first sight Of
Newport. 1t has just the right air Of
elegance and gay luxurious living and il
makes good at every point upon further
acquaintance. Most of the Cottages, "
as the most pretentious residences here
are termed, are occupied either by their
owners or b. other people who belong
or aspire to belong to the inner circle.

The general silhouette of the fashion
able contingent takes one back to the
time OF one S Mother or Grandmother as
the case may be. The long smooth but
easy fitting cuirass topping fuller, or
pleated skirt is everywhere seen, made
up in all sorts of materials from thin
nest musins to satinfreed rajahs and
serges.

A WHITE SERGE COSTUME.

A white serge dress that might go
with equal propriety to luncheon or
lawn fete seen at the Casino was a
compromise between the Princess and
"Moyen" model, as SO often happens.
The lower skirt continuous with the
bodice, except at the front where there
was an apron effect with the skirt in
pleats below. Handsome white silk
braid was employed as trimming and
there were touches of white MORE in
little revere pieces, buttons and girdle.
A pocket Of the MORE such as is typical
in the costume of every chateline of the
Middle Ages was notable and pretty
feature of the dress.

VERY L1MPLE TAILORED SUITS.

Very simple tailored suits of white
serge or linen in white or colors go to
the same places that are frequented by
wearers of fussy elabrate lingerie and
other gowns. For the woman whose
few dresses must do service on many
different occasions nothing pays better
as an investment than thoroughly
well made tailored costume that is just
a little off the regulation style either in
material or trimming.

greatest suffering that can wiring a

This was but little. The bills that made

the men who received them. A report that
Whitla had marked them is not verified
at this time. That amount Of currency in
small bills, however, would make its pos

among a number OF confederates, and
thereby increase the risks in another di-

1t was also learned this morning that

FAVOR ORIGINAL
PAVING BILL

The directors Of the Board of Trade
met last night and discussed the street
paving bill now before tho Legisia-
ture. Two resolutions were adopted.
one approving the original street paw
ing bill and the other disapproving OF
the Connolly substitute. The first
resolution follows;
Resolved. That the Wilmington
Eoard OF Trade, through its board OF
directors, express It's disapproval Of
the Connolly substitute street paving
bill for the following reasons;
"First-'rhat in effect IT raises our
general tax rate TO the detriment of
our present owners OF real estate in
the city and will serve as a further
obstacle IN inducing new capital "a
invest in real estate in this city.
"second-That It is general tas
laid for a special purpose which II
our opinion is wrong Ia principle and
Objectionable 10 our methods Of gov.
ernment
"Third-It is In direct conflict Will
the present method Of levying taxes
as set forth IN our city charter.
"Fourth-That IL presents all the
difficulties and disadvantages tha,
would arise from an increase of our
general taxes and further presents
special difficulties and disadvantages
that would not occur from the present
method OF levying and collecting our
taxes"
Tho other resolution is as follows:
Resolved-That It is the sense of the
Board Of Directors of the Whining
ton Board Of Trade that they approve
Of the passage Of the original street
paving bill with the referendum
amendment"
The resolutions Of the board were
before ;he Legislature when the paving
bill was called up to-day.

sI4,OOO,OOO FOR CENSUS
Director North Asks For That Much
Money.

WASHINGTON. March 23-If Con-
grcss desires the decepniai census
taken next year Director North. Of the
Census Bureau. wants about Si4000,0Q0
20 defray expenses. He made re-
quest 10 the House for an appropria-
tion for that amount.
on account Of tho failure OF Congress
20 pass a census bill at the last session
none OF the appropriation bills car
ried the money TO do the work. Furth-
ormcre. there is no item IN the census
bill that passed the House the other
day appropriatng a cent.
The House leaders have been confer
ring about the best methods OF pro-
cedure. In order to avoid the necessity
of appointing The Committee on APP
preparations in the House or the bring
ing OF a special rule, Il Is probable
that the Senate will be asked to amend
the census bill so as to include the APP
propriation.

Mrs. Uhle, who keeps the candy store
on East Fifty-third street. and who
was the apparently innocent means Of
communication between the kidnappers
and Whitla, ready and anxious TO
hand over his money. describes the
man who called for the bundle Of
money as about forty years old, and
stout. He gave his name as Hayes.
Work of a Gang.
The police believe that the affair is
the work OF a gang Of several mem
bers, perhaps as many as a dozen. The
! quickness with which its members re-
ceived the news from different parts
, Of Ohio and Pennsylvania and the skill
with which they eluded their pursuers,
show that they had plenty Of help
/ Pat Grove. the reformer kidnapper OF
/ Eddie Cudahy. who arrived here only
/ few hours before Billy Whitla was
found, said to-day;
"rll give the kidnappers an outside
/ limit Of nine months Of liberty. Most
likely there win be but a matter OF a
/ few DAYS. If the description Of the
I bills with which the ransom was paid,
was taken, they have not a chance in

the father made. the kidnappers are
/ doomed. No man ever beat that
game. When a crook handles marked
money he is lost"
