The Cost of a Newspaper and Its Hidden Labor
The Philadelphia Chronicle notes newspapers are cheap for readers but costly to produce. It details the global effort from reporters and editors to type setters and presses, highlighting the New York Herald’s giant Sunday edition with 68 columns and millions of type pieces. It argues newspapers rely on readers and especially advertisers, likening a paper to a building needing a roof and foundation.

Never Pays and a Shakespearean satire mix in a curious tale
A quiet stranger robs a Griswold Street real estate office of stamps and an envelope by feigning need for office supplies then departs with a witty remark about carrying the fetter to the office. The note references a London publication skewering James and Shakespeare. Nearby a Wheeling, West Virginia couple, a 16 year old groom and 14 year old bride, face separation after marriage.
