Paris in the siege and Parisian character debated
A July 25 1879 dispatch analyzes Paris politics and the siege mentality. It argues Parisian physiology and temperament shaped the capital’s volatile politics, noting conscription quirks and the mixed mercy toward the Commune. It contrasts heroic myth with caution about trusting Paris again, while reporting broader New York letters on yellow fever fears.

Water supply proposal tabbed at special town meeting
A special town meeting at Town Hall discussed two water supply propositions by Newport attorney George H. Norman and presented by William J. Miller.

The Di Centennial planning committee held its monthly session, appointing a committee to select an orator and poet and securing cooperation from the Rhode Island Historical Society. Probate court actions covered guardianship, estate sales, wills, and administration for multiple local estates.
