Odds and Enis. A kaleidoscope of oddities from era tabloids
A jumble of short items mentions a new London street named Lothair, a three million hotel plan by Jimphisque, and Niagara Falls hotels full of bridal parties. Notes cover a wide array of curiosities including a precocious Illinois boy eloping with his uncle’s wife, a Chinese deity, advice to surgeons, chain gang labor in Georgia, and reactions to public events. Several random vignettes note deaths, marriages, freak occurrences, and social quirks across cities like Boston, Hartford, Cincinnati, and New York.
