It closes with Parisian society chatter about the Castellane marriage and charity gifts.
Old 75-Foot Whale Killed Off Nahant Massachusetts
A very old whale seventy five feet long was killed off Nahant Massachusetts on March 9. Fishermen had earlier seen the whale, forced to shore to escape an attack, and the harpoon line appeared to entangle it. A rusty harpoon bearing the inscription Hiram K. Swain 1853 was found in the whale’s body.

Governor Urges Stricter Election Law and Railroads’ Fellow-Servant Rule
The governor calls an extraordinary session to push a stringent election law for cities over 1 00, aiming to curb fraud and ensure fair counting. He argues current laws fail to prevent fraudulent registration and voting, urges vigilance at the ballot box, and opposes partisan gaming in election administration. He also attacks fellow-servant liability doctrine for railroad workers, urging a fellow-servant statute that would fix master liability when injuries occur due to co-workers’ negligence, and warns against railroads dominating legislative influence through a permanent lobby at the capital.
