Inter Ocean exposes Navy officer Emory scandal in Washington
The Inter Ocean reports Navy Department turmoil over Lt. Willie Emory of the Thetis. Emory, a wealthy socialite and aide to Porter, allegedly used his rank for personal advances during his New York posting to oversee repairs and protect seals abroad, while evading duties and inviting departmental rebuke. The piece notes vast repair costs, calls for investigation, and hints at influence with Whitney and the President to shield him from sanction.

Why marble cake earns its name and a long life
The Oil City Derrick quotes a speaker joking that marble cake is named for its rock like texture from Tealy and exported at high cost yet lasting long. A plate fragment shows a nearly pristine piece and references a “man with the Iron jaw” from a past circus era as part of the playful tale.
