The piece notes Mrs. Waipon’s return to a strong legal record after recent setbacks. It mentions Henri Rochefort paying damages and apology for remarks about her case against Charles Gounod. A rumor about antisemitic imitation in England is dismissed as absurd and self-targeted.
Society voices harsh criticism of journalists and even judges for failing to admit error after Percy Flarge announced Prince Henry of Battenberg would not return for months. He now states the prince's homecoming was unexpected, a claim critics view as insufficiently candid.
The text hints at rumours that Mr. Sala may take the Sunday Times editorship. It notes his planned March 2 recommencement of his causette Echoes of the Week and that Sala is contributing to other papers, strengthening the Speaker and the S.2 with his writing.
The Echoes of the Week 2 column has moved through several papers over the years. It began in the Illustrated London News, faded from readers with Ingrams' paper after a quarrel with the proprietors and a great journalist, then shifted to the Entertainment Gazette under Beatty Kingston, and now is headed for the broad pages of the S. 2.
In proceedings over Colonel MacIver’s divorce Sir James Ilannen accused a large class of town women, praising a reappearance in ordinary courts while declaring that memories of such people were generally frail as their morals.
The piece derides various women as morally flexible and jokes about unreliable testimony from different social groups. It notes a slumping St Valentine celebration with gaudy but cheap valentines flooding shop windows while tasteful keepsakes sell poorly in London and New York reports.
In a concise quip the piece contrasts St Valentine with newer institutions of Christmas and New Year cards and notes Ophelia referencing a sung dedication to a modern Saint named Lubbock, signaling a playful cultural shift in holiday observances.
A dramatic appraisal of Mr. Pulitzer of the New York World tracing his humble start to a vast newspaper empire. It laments his sudden blindness just as wealth and influence seem within reach, a tragic twist in this human drama.
A New York World Sunday piece notes P. T. Barnum is active at Olympia but will depart mid February after leasing the venue to April. The writer recalls Pulitzer and questions Barnum Bailey’s long Atlantic engagements, hoping Barnum may revisit London within three years.
A large firm of merchants has imported considerably over 2,000 dozen champagne since the start of the year. Farewell dinners and suppers account for a sizable share of the consumption.
I dispute Surrey loyalty over Lohmann rumors and fear perfidy if he leaves the Oval for Middlesex. Massor Isaacs MP spoke at St. Matthew's Old Kent Road praising male fondness but silent on female matters. A President Hotel sign signals Waterloo House’s near transformation and Jubilee visitors. Globe defends itself against Hatton edits and notes Kant’s Court to host a French Exhibition under Regent Street Colonnade.
The Marquis of Ailesbury has spent weeks on the Continent refining his French to testify to a British judge about the meaning of Jubilee J Juggins. The French magistrate struggled to grasp this notably Cockney term.
The unnamed new club opposed to the Pelican reportedly may name the Marquis of Ailesbury as president with actor Herbert Standing considered as possible secretary. Baird proposes himself as president and Jem Smith as vice president, while Abington leads the venture.
Mrs Besant admits the School Board work is too hard for her and Mr Bradlaugh resigns the Presidentship of the National Secular Society, a role he has held since its formation, signaling overtaxed public labours by two longtime allies.
