A two year revolt against Bapshure ends with the heroic escape of Iskender Sitta and two companions toward the Turkish frontier. Amid a brutal winter, snow, and frozen rivers, Sitta outpaces Austrian police on skates, leaping a deadly ice crevasse as a spy sinks into the water, and reaches Belgrade unharmed.
A jumble of late 19th century notes reports census figures on Paris married women, two divorces, a London death of a 104 year old apple seller near St James Hall, and assorted curiosities about coins, ocean travel, and new gadgets. The item blends stray facts and sensational asides common to quaint newspaper clippings.
A collage of brief items from 19th century press covers oddities and gossip. It cites opium firms in Canada, a quip about six glasses of beer, a Chinese rooster attack, Kansas legal drink standards, hotel superstition about room numbers, fashion and milinery trends, home remedies for diphtheria, urban transit leadership news, a bear hunter tally, a veiled beauty tip, and humorous local notices on restaurant pies dated in a breezy newspaper tone.
