A fragmentary record from the record-Herald describes a child asking about prayer during Sunday school. It recalls a mother teaching reverence and kneeling in quiet worship, and questions whether such simple acts can bring blessings. The text reflects early 19th or early 20th century religious phrasing and community sentiments.
A fragmented reminiscence of a ping pong evening with Ned and Rowena, featuring playful scuffles over scores and rules, the search for a rulebook, a plaster crisis after a tumble, and the narrator’s sleepy, comic narration of mishaps as bedtime approaches. The piece ends with a stray jibe about rote manners.
The article describes the grand New York Stock Exchange building on Broad Street, a nine story white marble palace with gold decorated interiors and 15 trading posts. It traces the center of finance moving toward New York, notes rising seat prices, and recalls the Exchange's historical growth from 1702 to its modern structure. The piece forecasts New York becoming the world’s banking hub, with seats valued around 80 thousand dollars and total membership worth about 88 million. It ends by noting the dedication of the new Stock Exchange in New York.
A New York Press tale describes a new Argentine profession born from a bachelor tax. Widowed and single women offer to woo and reject men, then testify to rejections to dodge the tax. The business demands restraint as the women face emotional strain and the risk of breaking contracts.
The article notes baseball growing worldwide with American players in Mexico in a four club league and Sundays doubleheaders. It mentions Cape Town games between Columbus ex-residents and Maple Leaves, and Honolulu devotion to baseball outpacing racing. It ends with literary quotes and reflections on courtship.
The first dining car in the United States, the Delmonico, began service in 1868 between Chicago and St. Louis on the Chicago & Alton Railway. It measured sixty feet and featured a central kitchen, candle lighting, walnut dining room, six tables for four, and a table de hoté fare of 75 cents.
A deaf couple, Lewis Ash of Phoenixville and Bella Remmey of Philadelphia, wed in a ceremony with no spoken words officiated by Rev. Koebler at All Souls Church for the Deaf. Guests celebrated with rapid sign language as the service ended, a moment of memorable chaos. Separately, Samuel Gibbons of Hodgenville Ky retired after 67 years as a mail carrier, beginning under President Jackson in 1836 and never missing a day.
A New York World item contrasts the Kaiser and J Pierpont Morgan, noting Morgan's rapid yet less time consuming day and detailing the Kaiser's schedule from rising at 5 am to nightly reading. The piece ends with a wry Newark News quip about differing reactions to performances.
