Wreck of the Gate City recalled by a near miss in Vineyards Sound

A near catastrophe aboard the Gate City in Vineyards Sound is noted as a fortunate escape with no loss of life. The report compares it to the City of Columbus disaster and credits calm crew and passengers. It also mentions Nova Scotia sentiment shifting toward secession and fisheries as Ottawa policies provoke hardship for Canadians and shoremen reliant on Yankee trade.

Lehr und Wehr Verein in Chicago drew scrutiny as a dangerous agitator group

The Lehr und Wehr Verein is described as a provocative organization linked to dynamiters and agitators, seen as a perpetual threat to public order in Chicago. The piece hopes authorities will act against it and similar groups, while noting a Puritan public instinct remains. It also cites a Boston town high school salary letter and praises a presidential order disbanding a treasury clerks group as evidence of needed action against subversive activity.

Conservatives Ready to Form Government Without Liberal Presence

The article argues the next English ministry will be Conservative with no Liberal element unless the Duke of Argyll is made viceroy to Ireland. With Liberal Unionists likely to hold sway on Irish policy, Conservative dominance appears fragile amid Gladstone’s opposition and home rule. England may not gain a lasting relief from agitation.

Connecticut closes gates against boycott after Courier trial

The Connecticut Supreme Court follows New York in blocking entry to the boycott. The printers convicted of criminal conspiracy against the New Haven Courier face unlikely chances of a verdict reversal, as Judge Stoddard’s charge outlines lawful rights to organize and the criminal threshold when boycott tactics aim to ruin the Courier through threats to patronage.

Names include Cleveland, Trux ton, and Hoar with regional outlets cited.

Proposing Advice From a 19th Century Dialogue on Courtship

Racial name variations spark Harvard Chinese chair note

The article notes conflicting victim name spellings for Shawmut avenue tragedy as Quong Sing Kee Bing Ching Kuong Sing Kee Ding Ching and Wong Kong across Herald Journal Advertiser Globe and Post. It argues the diversity reflects Harvard's new Chinese professorship rather than press fault.

Wind and Sun Fable Told by Punch on English Politics

The last Punch cartoon by Alsop depicts Lord Salisbury as the wind and Mr Gladstone as the sun striving to persuade a traveller named Discontent. It carries a moral for exuberant, blustering Conservatives to heed.

The Transcript Describes A New Dress Tone And A Local Death Note

The Transcript jokes about evolving dress language while a Newburyport death report notes a middle aged man’s alleged suicide. It calls for changing the phrase death by own action to punishable by death in this country, as in Japan.

London in the West End and Crowned Pageantry

A London correspondent recalls Charlotte Bronte and Russian visitors praising the city’s energy and variety. The piece contrasts East and West End life, notes the coronation week processions and royal appearances, and ends with modern social scenes and light, humorous asides about news and manners.

Justina in the No Name Series contrasted with Wind of Destiny

A literary critic compares The Wind of Destiny with the No Name Series volume Justina. The review lauds Hardy's novel as high quality with fine thought, while Justina is praised as a fairly well told tale moving swiftly to a conventional close. The plot follows Justina's journey on the Continent and to Easterly in New England with John Rolfe, amid a rival suitor, in a conservative town likely on Connecticut or Massachusetts.
