United States Cities Surpass Most Nations in Population Density
The United States will have fifteen cities over one hundred thousand at the next census, led by New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and others. Other nations show smaller counts, with East Indies 21, Britain 16, and China 15. European telegraphic reports recount a devastating earthquake near Batang, with thousands dead and extensive destruction. A St. Louis temperance convention urged scientific, prohibition-aligned reform, while a Kentucky depot mix up ended in a comic mistaken-identity incident.
