The Gold Dust Thief in the Assaying Room
A clerk suspects a charming but duplicitous co worker Phil Boutelle of stealing gold dust from the assaying room. Florence March ultimately exposes him by noting his flattery and a hidden glitter in her dress. Boutelle is arrested after the discovery, and the narrator learns March both uncovered and rescued him from his scheme.

Whims Of Batsmen And The Modern Shipboard Message
A survey of baseball bats shows players like Cy Young and Nick Swainson favor extreme lengths and weights, with stars such as Mick, Wickman, Burkett and Love Cross chasing the perfect bat. The piece notes trading, giving away, or borrowing bats, plus stories of bat-cranks and bench trading during seasons. A separate vignette from the New York Post recounts a voyage where a New Yorker on board sends a wireless note to introduce a fellow passenger, revealing the era’s evolving communications.

His tenure from 1830s to 1840s saw a stipend of £50,000, illustrating the strain on even senior church leaders. The note cites poverty among episcopal bench despite large salaries, echoing London bishop remarks.
