Dead Ward McAllister and idle talk of progress in 1894
A long-read miscellany surveys recent topics from a dead social leader Ward McAllister to promises of cures for old age and rapid advances in electricity. It notes the gold product value for 1894, outlines presidential salary habits, and discusses currency and banking practices. Historic musings on Valentine’s Day, music, and legends close the piece with reflections on memory and daily worry.
