A Rocky Ford column lists varied items from around the world including tarantulas in Australia for war balloon webs, ashes from Canada used as fertilizer, and rising numbers of women physicians in Asia. It notes a Paris forgery ring led by Horace Urbain Massard, a con artist in Cincinnati, a French right to reply law, St Petersburg’s city loan plan, Cleveland marriage and divorce data, and a note on unknown petition grant rates.
The piece laments city noise and hopes stricter ordinances. It notes Chinese meal habits, Cape Nome gold rush woes, factory curtailments due to China trade, ginseng market impacts, and a lampoon of religious influence on livelihoods. It ends with advice on sulphur to extinguish chimney fires and a church steeple struck by lightning.
The piece argues the North Carolina amendment’s grandfather clause, borrowed from Louisiana, disenfranchises illiterates including many whites and blacks. It cites 15th Amendment protections, mentions Democratic leaders and a McEnery letter, and questions civil liberty and historic lessons amid wartime rhetoric.
A Rocky Mountain News item cites 1864 editorials from the Indianapolis Sentinel and a Bryan faction paper arguing for Democratic support of Lincoln and critique of McKinley. It discusses views on war powers, imperialism, and the fate of the flag as Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines are central to the debate.
In a colonial drama set against the Sudan campaign, Major Rayburn declares love for Adrienne Breynton as Cleland protects soldiers from desert perils. A tense exchange follows with threats and a vow to maintain strangers status, while Cleland faces a night siege by a beast and a mysterious retreating figure in moonlight.
