The fragmentary text mixes bold claims about future glaciation and the fate of humanity with sensational patent medicine pitches. It touts Dr D Jayne’s tonic for colds and pulmonary issues, cites Michael Davitt’s arm loss, hawks Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and extols Syrup of Figs from California. The piece reads like a garbled, advertisement heavy clipping from a late 19th or early 20th century paper.
Philadelphia born Charles W. Riggin, boat swain’s mate on the Tennessee, died in the Chilian riot in Valparaiso after a long Navy career. He enlisted aboard the Portsmouth at League Island, trained at Newport, Washington, then served on the Galena. His family recalls his fidelity, zeal, and obedience, and a crayon portrait marks his memory.
Plans for North Dakota's Building at the fair were submitted to the construction department. The structure measures 70 by 50 feet with a 46 by 21 foot front courtyard area in front of the main assembly hall. A stone arch leads to an interior hall 24 by 56 feet with four arched beams and large windows between them. The hall has broad end fireplaces. Two committee rooms, each 10 by 22 feet, complete the layout.
A description notes the building in North Dakota showing plaster paneling between filled sections and a picturesque effect created by low thatched roofs across the entire structure.
Floriano Peixotto, an army officer of distinction, heads Brazil after a rapid rise from common soldier to commander at Aquidaban. Born in Amazonas forty nine years ago, he studied military science, joined the Rio Military School, and served as vice president and Senate president during upheavals. He abstained from the coup that toppled Da Fonseca and now governs with moderation, promising a steady rule.
M. Patenotre, the new French Minister, has won favorable notices in diplomatic circles here. His brief address to President Harrison shows strong ties to American institutions and pride in representing France’s liberty-loving tradition. He is described as bright, pleasant-faced, vivacious, imposing, and an easy conversationalist.
William Harman, a Titusville resident, died by his own hand days ago, caused by a melancholy belief he was his own grandfather. He left a perplexing letter describing a chain of marriages: his father married his stepdaughter, making his father his son-in-law and his stepdaughter his mother, with further developments suggested.
Akron resident H. E. Miller advocates a cold water regimen to prevent colds. Each morning he exposes himself naked in the yard for ten minutes in subzero conditions, then alternates with a tub of ice water when snow is absent. He reports no colds this winter and credits the regimen for his health.
A terse dialogue implies a pact or confrontation as a British figure promises action if provoked, vowing to finish the matter with decisive moves while delegating the setup to another party. The odd phrasing hints at a theatrical or coded exchange within a broader dispute.
A Chicago publisher revealed a bogus translation scheme where a renowned society woman falsely credited as translator of a French work. The real translator, a drooping garret worker, earned 12 dollars weekly while the author’s name was bought to mislead readers into believing the translation came from a famous figure.
Edward ONeill, an insurance man, says winters in America have softened since his boyhood. He cites colder snaps and ongoing sleighing, but recalls Hudson River freezes by Thanksgiving and long arctic winters. He argues forest clearing may not fully explain Hudson Valley climate shifts, as Catskill forests still dominate the area.
A compilation traces how fashion arose in part to hide deformities from hoops to long coats and petticoats. It cites historical figures from Edward VI to Elizabeth I, notes on shoes and breeches, and mentions a Philadelphia anecdote about a churchgoing trend. It also mentions a patent for forming shirt fronts by turning and pressing edges.
A compact study of Jeremiah 31 27 37 on the new covenant and God’s mercy. The lesson contrasts past woes with a dawning divine day, urging faith, conscience, and a hopeful outlook for the believer. It treats prophecy, covenant imagery, and the inner sense of God’s law.
