A jumble of brief items notes a fake Mark Twain lecturing in Ireland, a Rutland widow capturing her seventh husband, rising U S post offices, a divorce filing for cruelty, a Catskill pedestrian tour with Harry Garfield, and Lincoln family references. Other notes cover a federal judge appointment in Northern Iowa, Dakota’s population surge, new wire-cutting machinery in Pittsburgh, and economic losses from a freight strike. Additional items mention a court order jail term, sponge bed experiments in Florida, fatal Paris fireworks incidents, Bartholdi’s wealth and donation, and curiosities about churches, pigeons, and a West Virginia prohibition forecast.
