Sir Roger Tichborne to lecture in America

England is uncharitable toward us. Adventists expected to be saved from Denver. O'Donovan Rossa revealed Phelan as a British spy after the stabbing. Four men tried to bore through a dynamite factory door with a hot poker. Keene on Long Island railways shows errors should be faced. The murder of German Commissioner Numpi amid anarchist executions signals risk and need for vigilance against ruffians and threats to the nation.

Opium pipe and a parade of midwest musings

A collage of curiosities notes grim news of El Mahdi and Grant, a New York detective clue, a tramp editor attack, skepticism about weather and skating, and jokes about politics.
