A Sag Harbor bank cashier died by her own action, soon after Sag Harbor’s famed Mr. Herne. The column also notes sixteen other items from law, politics, and society, including divorce decrees in Salem and comments on public issues such as the subway referendum, Boston Arboretum, Christian Science, smallpox scares, and U S foreign policy debates.
The piece discusses Spain's alleged archy crisis and calls for strong government action, noting government severity may inflame anarchism. It reviews the redistricting bill as fair though imperfect, predicting electoral shake-ups and a Democratic-leaning district. It mentions arbitration efforts in Holyoke and criticizes claims there is nothing to arbitrate. It also reports on the Mary Baker Eddy libel suit, calling it a tempest and mocking the costly legal display.
Boston Herald argues the public should decide if a twenty-five or forty year concession for a new subway is best, noting public welfare favors a longer term for a center city line but warning voters may err. Springfield Republican cites libel suit against Mary Baker Eddy as exposing mysticism of Christian Scientists. New York Tribune scolds Pennsylvania and Massachusetts legislatures for delays, while Lowell Courier mocks the word symposium and critiques G Bradford. Brockton Enterprise comments on yacht club snobbery and New York Yacht Club politics.
South Carolina senators Tillman and McLaurin resign and withdraw in a clash that draws in the governor, the state’s political legacy, and the race question. The piece argues against restoring old racial disenfranchisement and urges fair, honorable suffrage while lamenting the decline of Calhoun era leadership.
In the superior court at East Cambridge on Thursday Alice Cox seeks divorce from Thomas B. Cox of Lowell. Charles Cowley represented Mrs Cox and secured a decree nisi in her favor citing cruel and abusive treatment.
The text portrays Wesley as a lifelong lover of books, prioritizing the Bible yet valuing broad reading. He urged preachers to read to deepen their ministry and critiqued a young evangelist for lacking time to read, lamenting the loss of an annotated Shakespeare volume destroyed after John Pawson's death.
The piece laments the decline of canoeing in Lowell waterways like the Merrimack, Concord rivers, Lake Masskupik, and surrounding ponds. It recalls former water picnics, praises golf, and mentions a surge in demand for Masskupik river canoes made in Ogdensburg. Nearby anecdotes touch June nights, beetle-like bugs under electric lights, and two boys admiring photographs while chasing evening papers.
The writing examines Tammany Hall from before 1840 to the present, detailing class prejudice, reformers, and the political grip that sustains Tammany amidst sharp New York poverty and economic contrasts. It argues voters prefer gradual reform over rival schemes even amid undeniable corruption.
Gustavus Myers argues in the June Forum that Tammany Hall relied on independent voters and organizational strength rather than a single factor. He details how reformers often alienated independents, enabling Tammany to regain power, and explains its adaptive tactics from its Protestant origins to embracing immigrants as the electorate expanded.
