Governor Pingree denounces trusts as cruel forces raising prices, lowering wages, and driving small businesses out. He warns of class division, and calls for municipal ownership of utilities. The report notes population estimates for major New Jersey cities and other varied items from gun club results to fashion notices and a local rail station project in Elberon. The compact roundup includes academic intercollegiate fencing style scores, letters on family training, and a tourism ad ending with a medicine endorsement.

How Far Can a Quail Fly and Other Odd Snaps
A collage of frivolous items and anecdotes from old newspapers. It recalls Clemenceau’s quick medical wit and a comic tale of a deputy’s influence, ponderings on quail flight limits across the Missouri, a banker-like school tale about booking offices, a London hat collection, Emerson’s quiet gratitude, a George IV Ireland reminiscence, and a Mad Poet tale with a cheeky half-price coin punchline.
