A collage of quirks and crimes from early 1900s city life. Tales of phobias from Archmophobia to Pyrophobia sit beside a Brooklyn police dog addiction scandal. Courtroom twists involve a bigamist denial and a Lynden family tragedy. New York street gossips reveal a female imposter, while mortality notes poke through a horse bill saga in Georgetown.
Editor Echo discusses historic comet effects on minds and links Halley era disturbances to a meatless movement in the United States. Reports cite Tilden blaming farmers for higher meat costs, middlemen for living costs, and Ripley praising a meat boycott as a lesson in economy amid high prices.
Rigdon Johnson, a New Harmony area farmer, claims a six foot black and white chicken snake lives in his barn and granaries and keeps rats and mice from his 260 acre farm. He plans no harm to the snake and says there is no corn eaten by rats thanks to its presence.
The excerpt argues that shifting to meatless diets will raise prices and disturb markets, benefiting gamblers while harming the public. It notes many now skip meat for health or conscience and mocks the preacher's attempt to teach Christian living with a pointed child’s retort.
