A Washington state girl visiting a Western senator’s family in Washington DC mistook fifty oysters for a full dinner and flung them from her window to the roof below. The waiter carried away two oysters on her plate as she said she was not really hungry after all.
A young man drew attention by wearing a muff in the street at the west end. The Warehouseman and Draper notes fashion cycles, suggesting old styles may reappear. Observers cite crinoline and hoops as examples and trace muff origins to at least 1588 in England.
A confidential exchange hints at undisclosed talks between Mr Reed and the president at Jekyl Island. The ex speaker refuses to reveal details until the newspapers publish their coverage.
A Brooklyn bank president recalls Chauncey Depew once saved his first $100 at Peekskill Savings bank, later grown to about $400 with interest. Depew, then a future leader, helped found the bank, telling the Quaker founder he would not withdraw the money except in crisis. The item ties to broad notes on currency origins and a grand mint vault planned in Philadelphia with $112,000,000 capacity for silver and bullion.
A terse query wonders why a want ad in the Sentinel is not used to attract many responses. It suggests the column could help find a suitable partner or match.
Local notices list a restaurant sale, second hand shop opening, drug store for sale, home furnished rooms for rent, and several help wanted requests. Listings include a typewriter for sale, a broom maker, a barber, and lodging for a couple, with contact care at SENTINEL and various street addresses in Hurley and nearby towns.
A Washington press opinion condemns neck wraps and ribbons for girls, likening them to stocks and bandages. It argues bare throats are prettier, calling the trend ungainly and ungraceful.
