A Frank artcle by John Armitage analyzes the social and economic forces shaping modern industry. It discusses imperial capital versus labor, secret lodges, and the future of governance, noting two definite facts about large enterprises: the end of individual capitalists and the rising power of labor.
A Yorksire proposal for a cooperative colliery in South Yorkshire aims to keep profits with workers and shield against inflation. It traces a legacy from West Riding ideas eight years earlier and weighs whether West Yorkshire Co-operative Coal Federation or Wholesale Cooperative Society would run the mine, noting huge member counts and distribution limits. The plan envisions fair pay by worth and reduced strike risk, though capital needs vary by structure.
The St Louis Globe-Democrat notes Theodore Roosevelt as the youngest president, born in a large city, distinguished in war, statesmanship and letters, with a notably large family. It contrasts ages of early presidents, from Washington at 57 to Taylor at 65, Pierce at 49 as the first under 60 at inauguration, and hints at varied ancestral roots.
A long discourse argues that capital and labor are controlled by centralized power, eroding individualism. It foresees a path toward state collectivism or communism, notes strong personalities fueling change, and cites historical leaders and political shifts as evidence of evolving social order.
Oscar Hammerstein, seated outside his Seventh Avenue theater, lends five dollars to an actor recently in a long spree. The man promises to sober up, but the moment turns comic as Hammerstein jokes about a shared “lose it” moment, a remark overheard nearby.
President McKinley served as a trustee of the Peabody education fund and his death marked the third loss on the board since the last meeting. The prior deaths were Hon. William Wirt Henry of Virginia on December 5, 1900 and Hon. William M. oan of New York on February 28, 1901.
In Lost Gulch a town drama sparked by Ben Rayburn and Selina Darley escalates to threats and a staged confrontation at the schoolhouse. Sheriff Silas Holt enforces the law as Mark Kelsey reveals his engagement to Miss Darley, Rayburn is wounded, and the culprits are jailed.
The article notes President Roosevelt hosting six children during a White House visit, surpassing prior presidents like Lincoln Grant Garfield and Cleveland who took fewer offspring during their terms. It highlights Roosevelt’s unusually large brood and the lively impression left by the youngsters.
Lieutenant Roya Alexander of the Rifle Brigade brings back over a thousand West African bird specimens collected during the Ashanti campaign. At London’s South Kensington Natural History Museum he compares them with prototypes and argues for officer natural history duties abroad. He notes German and colonial practices and hopes broader zoological work will follow.
Mulhall names the top European economies as England, France and Germany, followed by Russia, Austria, Italy, Belgium and Holland, citing figures from his survey.
The Washington Star notes eerie shadows on the White House north porch and portico during winter. A human forearm and hand appeared on a column for a fortnight, then a northwest corner shadow formed the late President McKinley’s profile at 1 p.m., shifting to Queen Victoria's likeness, sometimes showing an old woman with a spinning wheel.
A terse gossip note suggests Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is likely to head the foreign affairs committee in the United States Senate. The claim cites discussions that he may also be considered for a leadership role in the Senate presidency.
