A lyrical meditation on travel, memory, and reunion. The speaker yearns to return to forgotten days and to share with a beloved the deep joy of renewed love. A note of loss tempered by hope emerges as a brother returns as guide and love finds its path anew.
A Nevivalist named Sam Jones speaks before a packed Chicago hall, his calm, plaintive voice and measured delivery drawing attentive silence. The reporter notes his plain dress, deliberate gestures, and deft use of humor as the crowd reacts with laughter and nods, defending humor as a sturdy moral element amid reverence.
A critical reading notes that Jones is a humanist whose comedy touches the audience but lacks absolute control. The reviewer cites wandering flow, periodic forceful epigrams, and a desert caravan image, praising his easy familiar style yet noting insufficent grandeur. The crowd leaves impressed yet unmoved, as the oration fails to thrill.
In March reports detail an Admiral Duperre test where torpedo boats 58 59 61 63 fired at the ironclad at sea traffic speeds. Torpedoes hit bow stern and funnels though one miss occurred. Observers argue English tests at Bantry Bay are valueless for naval planning and prove torpedo reliability at 100 to 600 metres.
An old treatise on stage makeup details methods to age actors and transform appearances. It covers powders, chalk, rouge, blue tones for villains, whitening for youth, Fuller's earth for aged cheeks, a white bald wig with joining paste, and faux teeth. It also describes crape hair, fake noses with wool padding, and paste-bonded prosthetics to create ages, blemishes, or disguises.
A correspondent recalls Washington society life where capital matters little to be a society man. Dudes earn twelve to eighteen hundred dollars yearly yet own little beyond a dress suit and shoes while dependent kinfolk fund a flashy display. The piece notes uniformity among rich and poor in appearance and warns lovers that fiery alchemy often comes from the altar. A lawyer in danger of poverty may hire another to relocate and share earnings.
A lyric reminiscence traces a waltz under fountains and flowers where a couple shares shy glances and the wish to revive a bygone romance. The speaker recalls Grandma’s brocade and says the old rose satin still glows, hoping for a wedding day with a timeless jewel.
A husband paces at Brush street awaiting his wife aboard the Michigan Southern train. An older man bets on the wife's elopement, pressing questions about affairs and flippant remarks. The train arrives with no wife, and the veteran remarking he has lost two women this way.
Royal authors abound among rulers and royals but Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria leads in ambition. He edits and partly writes The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Word and Picture, a project costing at least 300000 dollars with 100000 copies already subscribed before the first part. A Christmas present gag has Guido Smith asking Judge Peterby about buying a piano, with the judge’s wife not a pianist.
