A column discusses marriages where older men wed much younger women, citing Ellen Terry and others as examples in England and America. It notes public curiosity, pro and con attitudes, and reflections on social norms in late 19th or early 20th century press coverage.
Lake Shore begins preliminary work on a new freight house and office at the old Island House site. Pile driving for the concrete foundation is under way with one mounted steam pile driver on the job. Plans and specs are not yet at the office but are being completed by the company’s architect in Cleveland. The structure is expected to rise this summer with an elaborate design. April business for Lake Shore at Gin was weak, but activity has picked up since May as engineers and firemen receive checks.
Local high school geography classes visited the island for field work while Children's Hour and a library event gathered at the Carnegie Library. City staff reported a small mushroom harvest, Elkhart property sale, Chicago Telephone Supply hiring, Monger building expansion progress, and school enumeration revisions amid census challenges.
