Grammar Quarrel Over You and I Sparks Debate
A parade of language complaints laments misuse of nominative and objective cases in everyday speech. The piece notes teachers and society echo the error, contrasts me and him with between you and me and I will let you and he know, arguing ignorance and stubborn habit drive the solecism. It then shifts to advertising bits about Dr Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and a note on cut flowers and bangs, with a Nonpareil Hair Curler promotion.

Cool Under Trying Conditions in a Railroad Wreck
A firsthand account recalls two men surviving a railroad wreck after the car capsized and sank into a river. One man kept calm and urged others to avoid splashing while another risked a return trip to recover a waistcoat with over 1,000 dollars. The narrative parallels a New Yorker’s similar accident and notes the peril, injuries, and narrow escapes.
