A digest of brief aphorisms and snippets referencing figures like Rockefeller and Peary, plus editorials on spelling reform, education, and public affairs. Notes on Harvard rowing, Hindu deities, British diplomacy, and social mores mingle with reflections on food adulteration and the idle gentleman ideal.
A reflection contrasts life now with the past, noting conveniences from mail to electricity, sanitation, and personal services. It includes a tale about book pricing and a lawyer’s appeal to a judge, ending with a witty New York Times quote.
A Philadelphia Press reflection notes a warning friend clings to cold cash as hot air and warns a lover cannot do two things well. It observes that people may be led by appearances not always truthful and some find fun too troublesome to pursue. It jokes that self regard can be unclear after a night out.
Java sugar shipments to Atlantic ports plummet with Japan and China taking the bulk of the crop this year. Through November 1 total arrivals barely reached 100,000 tons versus over 300,000 last year, as ships like the Indura and Candelhoe paved little more than 10,000 tons to Long Island City. Maritime brokers attribute the dip to soaring demand in China and Japan after the Russo-Japanese war, not crop shortages, with only a dozen to fifteen cargoes expected before season’s end.
In a Washington Star excerpt an artistic person asks if Mr. Cainrox enjoys classical music. He replies he does not enjoy it but finds it a better social diversion than maintaining conversation. A note adds a societal tip for women handling men: make him feel at home in his own house.
