A varied column surveys science, weather, crime, philosophy, and social notes. It mentions Bernard finding eighteen comets, a Sunday school class in San Francisco, a Montreal ship laden with gin, and Fatherly musings on faith and mind. It also recalls Carlyle Harris’s electrocution, a Vienna theater suicide, bicycle taxes, and a vegetarian split. Population estimates and social gossip conclude the item.
The clippings report a flood of brief items: business failures, a Cleveland mill fire damage, large exchange totals, a New York fair ruling on admission fees, a St Paul cabinet decision delaying the Geary law, and accidents and fires across multiple states. Notable mentions include a Northwestern executive leaping to his death, a New York gas fixture maker's failure, and several railroad and weather-related incidents.
