How Good People Trespass on Neighbors Rights in Music
A New York Ledger excerpt argues boarding house music intrudes on neighbors rights. The author ridicules pianists and harpists as loud, indifferent to others, likening rooms to cages with noisy sacred tunes and street band sounds. The piece blames indulged amateurs for bad conduct and suggests practical limits to music in shared housing.

Abolition of Judas Processions Stirs Madeira Officials
Madeira ends the Judas effigy in religious processions after officials note the blend of politics and faith is unhealthy. The change follows incidents where figures resembling officials were burned in effigy. The piece recalls plantation era pride and a Florida mammy urging sons to serve and uphold family honor. Additionally, Paso do Norte begins Sunday bullfights as a civic attraction.
