Corenilus K. G. Bilings of Chicago owns the English yacht Surf which was struck by a railroad float last Tuesday night and is undergoing repairs in a South Brooklyn shipyard after a cruise up the sound.

A fox terrier named Spot, belonging to Angler nearby, entered the cellar triggering a noisy scene as bottles and jams were disrupted.

Zulu Servants and the White Household
A London Mail contributor argues that in South Africa only the wealthy can keep white servants, while ordinary people rely on native houseboys. Raw Zulu youths, fresh from the kraal, prove honest, quick, and eager to learn white man etiquette, mastering cooking, door answering, and even multilingual slang in a polyglot mix of English, Kaffr, Dutch. The piece notes amusing mistakes like mistaken etiquette over visiting cards, as boys adopt varied nicknames such as six-pence, Tickey, Shilling, Billy Foolly, and Pa Pot, while also bearing tribal names kept off in white houses.
