Our fall and winter prep shows immense stock of clothing hats and furnishings under one roof with prices that will surprise you. Suits overcoats juvenile wear and office lines dominate, with hats starting at 1.24 and many items priced well below their usual tag. A Daybreak Song poem excerpt ends this page.
Annot Brunsen deserts her rural life for city flirtations with Rollin Dracut and handsome Englishman Raymond St Ives. A broken engagement, a hidden wife, and a late reconciliation leave Annot heartbroken yet transformed, while Rollin returns years later to claim her.
A column examines Andrew Carnegie's "Gospel of Wealth" as a sacred trust idea and contrasts it with Pinkerton methods, arguing definitions of surplus wealth justify aggressive labor suppression. It notes reactions from St Louis Republic and Louisville Courier Journal editorial voices, plus crowding out broader policy debates.
The piece presents a campaign song praising Grover Cleveland and denouncing Benny, Blacklaw Reid, and Stevens Bon, with calls to protect reform and oppose force bills. It contrasts Democratic ideals of equal rights and honest administration with Republican fears, noting the Kansas City and Binghamton Leader citations as context.
A compact note on ancient Greek phalanxes describing their square formation and double Macedonian phalanx. It cites Polybius and notes the pikes and ranks. The piece then mentions odd high value stamps caused by printing quirks and the balloon post of 1870 being valued highly. It ends with a curious explanation of mosquito feeding tools and the mechanism of saws and lace in the proboscis.
A bridegroom gave bridesmaids brooches engraved with the number 33, a political symbol noted by the New York Times. The piece humorously remarks Americans mixing politics with social events could yield curious outcomes.
A fragmented column blends verse and brief items from New Orleans Picayune and Brooklyn Eagle. It starts with a poetic refrain about hearing a loved one’s feet and a delayed meeting, then shifts to general miscellany: Arab courtship customs, Pandora’s myth, Extra Billy Slith’s watch, Bowery humor, and assorted quips and notices from late 19th century papers.
