Oddball Highlights From A Distant News Roundup
A quirky assortment of notes mentions Alaska fish balls, a missing Gordon, the Potomac, Governor Dix on vetoes, Newport midnight parties, Mexico’s Capt. Jack, Ox-hide ornaments over leather, Kentucky mules and sun-stroke, Chicago bus drivers and crowding, Miss Lottie Moon of Georgia as a foreign missionary, Philadelphia seeking a Centennial song, and a suggestion to try Old Hundred.
