Local store hosts an exhibition of ladies trimmed hats shipped from The New York Millinery and Supply Co. They planned return but were urged to sell them. The sale runs for ten days and invites all to view the hats.
A garbled long OCR fragment blends political commentary on labor and crime with references to South African War figures like Kroger and Buller. It also contains scattered notices about patent medicines, a payroll of names, and a promotional note for catarrh remedy. The text jumps between topics, with brief mentions of Webster Davis, Cad standards, Freemasonry, and local crimes, all in a dusty, unordered newsprint style.
The Arlington home of Confederate General Robert E Lee became a federal site during the Civil War. Federal forces occupied hills overlooking the Potomac and converted the mansion into military uses before it was established as a national cemetery.
A garbled OCR fragment recounts bits of early American history focusing on the Washington family, Custis lineage, and connections to the VerDate Vernon estate. It briefly mentions Martha Washington, George Washington, and an adoptive era amid Revolutionary War contexts, but the text is largely incoherent and error-laden.
Visitors described the national cemetery site as among the most beautiful, noting its Doric front, vast headstone battalions, and solemn, quiet grounds. The piece recounts the land’s 1861 purchase for a burial ground, the Lee family’s later title validation, and poetry inscribed on bronze tablets marking the fallen.
The Porto Rican tariff bill clears the Senate with a 31 to 1 vote, imposing 15 percent duties on imports from Porto Rico and duty-free access for U S products shipped to its ports. It establishes a territorial government with a president-appointed governor, elected Lower House, and nine Executive Council members appointed by the President. The measure faces Republican splits and absentees, with several named senators opposed or paired. A naval appropriation proposal also advances, outlining plans for advanced battleships, armored cruisers, and protected cruisers with proposed costs and specs.
