Poetic prose from the New York Journal laments the faults of the age and the futile quest for illumination. It critiques reliance on foreboding inventions and the desire for rapid gain, urging preservation of restraint and patience.
Rose Terry narrates a journey from her grandfather’s farm to New Hampshire. A mistaken escort by Mrs Wharton’s nephew leads to a comic mixup with Anne Rose. The confusion ends with the revelation and the budding romance between Rose and the nephew as they plan a future together.
The piece recounts Andrew Carnegie and Henry Frick's control of Carnegie Steel Limited, noting alleged profits for 1890 and 1900, Frick's bid to restrain Carnegie, and a court case over sale terms. It contrasts their personalities and wealth building through industry, market leverage, and strategic moves.
In Homestead, friction over the tonnage wage scale after new machinery led to a strike. Frick proposed a revised rate for machinery gains. union leaders resisted. Pinkerton guards arrived, rioting and a National Guard intervention followed. An anarchist later shot Frick four times before Bergman’s long imprisonment. The inquiry found no lasting remedy.
A meditation on college life linking social breadth and intellectual growth with travel and cultural exchange. The essay extols college fellows forming lifelong ties while noting American and European interactions in arts and industry through anecdotes of performers and a machinery envoy's misadventure abroad.
The Aging actress Ristori remains active at 73 as reports from New Orleans describe her enduring presence in theater. The public follows her career from Rome where she writes and observes events, while commentators recall past triumphs and speculate on her legacy.
A fragment from the Indianapolis Journal recounts a hushed exchange about two LIU brothers in Dudiana. The dialogue mocks locals and hints at scandal while referencing civic names and a messy town rumor. The text is garbled and uncertain.
In Canton a bride’s chair bearers depart with the wedding chair and return to the city without the bride. Believed abductors caused alarm. district officers dispatch search parties. The tale splits into multiple manuscript readings with mixed judgments on merit and poetry themes. The narrative shifts to Portugal guitar culture and workers, describing musical habits and daily routines.
A rushed rescue uncovers a demore in a bridal gown, long imprisoned and starved, as coolies explain their actions. The bride, aware she was moved, cannot protest due to tradition forbidding brides from opening their lips until the ceremony. The episode centers on a disrupted wedding custom and the tridegroom’s attempt to wake city officials.
In Georgia a harsh pistol ban prompts a courtroom test as Judge Lester suspends a trial and requires defendants to lay down pistols and a dollar to prove compliance. Nineteen offenders comply, each placing weapon and coin on the judge’s stand, revealing a dramatic enforcement moment.
Reading fragments describe Virginia's Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County with measurements of the arch and Cedar Creek nearby. The text recalls Washington’s name carved on rock, and includes anecdotes about Washington College student Piper and a courtroom exchange involving Bismarck. It also mentions testing air purity by Prof. Dewar and a Yale president joke, ending with unrelated remarks on economics and the Teen Coalition.
