Inflation and Nasby on stage in Buffalo production
The Buffalo Express reviews a March 27 staging of the joint play Inflation by Me. Locke Petroleum V. Nasty and Charles Gaylor. The curtain opens at Bascom’s store with Nasby and local figures as the plot satirizes bank trusts and political folly through comic acts and a whisky bottle prop amid a sequence of acts showing financial hubris and collapse.

The Cistern Run and Barnum’s Amusing Rescue Tale
A Lewiston Maine Journal excerpt recounts Caleb’s weight joke about a wife weighing two hundred forty pounds, followed by a P T Barnum anecdote of a cistern window entry and escape. The piece then shifts to Frederick Douglass and a tavern scene where he cleverly diffuses racial tension by pairing his white mare with a black horse, prompting a collective realization that prejudice fades when wit and kindness prevail.
