Letter defending Shenandoah and Confederate cruisers claims
An officer of the Shenandoah refutes a Detroit Free Press piece titled Confederate Cruisers. He argues Shenandoah was a regularly commissioned warship, not a privateer, and corrects misstatements about captures, disabling events, and actions near Tristan da Cunha and Behring Strait, defending actions as lawful naval operations under belligerent powers. He rejects claims of dishonorable conduct and aims to set historical record straight.

Amusing riverfront tale of John Morgan’s cold water stunt
An elderly Louisville man John Morgan amused his neighbors with a strange nightly habit. After heavy drinking he would pour wash water from his basin outside before bed and then climb in. One night he slipped, placed the water bowl in bed, and leapt out the window. He landed in a yard and awoke the next morning frozen and asleep beside the bowl. He declares he is cured of drinking.
