A fragment on fleeting time and love contrasts quiet companionship with longing. The speaker requests more engagement or a farewell as weeks fly, seasons fade, and chances pass. The tone mirrors earnest appeal and restless heartache in a contemplative lyric.
An aged judge, after years of detachment, travels to the forest valley where he befriends forester Yeri Foerster and his daughter Charlotte. A sudden match with the young forester Karl Imant upends his hope of marrying Charlotte, leading to a strategic arrangement that unites Charlotte with Karl and elevates him to forester at Grinderwald. The judge withdraws from fishing, accepting a new role and change in fortune.
A Kansas Free Love group near Valley Falls proclaims a marriage between editor Walker of Lucifer and 16 year old Lilian Harman. Harman blesses the union, asserting her freedom and ownership of self, while Lilian agrees to act by conscience. They are jailed after the ceremony. Walker remains imprisoned writing sharp attacks.

A. Shuman, prominent Boston clothier, shares Irish observations from his summer journey. He praises Queenstown harbor and the Emerald Isle, notes pockets of poverty but overall improvement, and highlights landlord rents driving evictions, village cleanliness, city thrift, and strong support for home rule. He quotes Dublin’s lord mayor T. D. Sullivan and contrasts Ireland with Holland’s land reclamation and prosperity.

The Sun profiles Tom Lee, a prominent Chinese immigrant in New York City. He runs a restaurant with unusual menus, a cigar store selling higher priced cigars, and a grocery near his two houses and a China rice plantation. Lee is deputy sheriff, Christian, father of several children by a white wife, speaks English selectively, and acts as spokesman for his compatriots in dealings with police and politicians.
The Cincinnati Graphic-News argues about whisker fashions for different face shapes. It claims two fallacies mislead men into choosing styles to widen or lengthen their faces and suggests a unified approach: thin men should favor minimal or full beards, fat men should stay smooth or closely cropped whiskers, and proportionate faces may vary slightly without changing overall balance.
In Detroit a humor piece describes two men discovering a self addressed postal card. It exposes a prank where a fictitious society, I C O B No 887, claims a meeting and fines absent members. The joke shows printed cards used to provoke husbands facing fines at home.
Charley Hazelton staged a theatrical elephant from Around the World in Eighty Days in Brooklyn venues. The beast visited saloons, drank free whisky and water, and knocked Hazelton to the pavement near the post office door. He recovered and was said to be doing well.
A sailing ship entering New York after a severe week of gales from Sept 20 to 26 faced hurricane winds.
