Bradlaugh Lectures on The French Revolution at McCormick Hall
Charles Bradlaugh spoke to a large Chicago audience on the French Revolution from 1774 to 1793, detailing the estates system, taxation, and rising spirit. He praised Mirabeau and Danton while condemning Orleans and the Church, noting the third estate’s awakening against noble privilege and tax exemptions.
French Revolution called a revolution not revolt by Bradlaugh
A speech by Mr. Bradlaugh is described, praising the French Revolution as a political upheaval caused by tyrannical Bourbon kings. It covers the storming of the Bastille, the National Assembly, Mirabeau, Louis XVI, the flight to Varennes, the execution, and the Reign of Terror. It links European powers to the bloodshed and comments on Danton, Robespierre, Paine, and the fate of liberty. The piece ends with notes on taxes and a humorous child’s remark about his father’s church membership.

Mardi Gras Comanche Impersonator Skinsner Faces Scalp Scare
A Mardi Gras procession in Louisville featured Skinner dressed as a Comanche Indian with war paint and a belt of pistols and scalps. After drinking heavily, he disrupted a room with his tomahawk and then faced Mrs Skinner who struck him with a skillet, smashing his nose and scattering props. He later fumed at home, and doctors fear his nose may regrow by next year's Mardi Gras.
