Eugene Field recalls youth in a nostalgic poem about lifelong memories of birds, woods, and nature. The speaker laments aging and forgetting, contrasts with a young child who still recalls what he once knew, and wishes to regain the innocence and happiness of boyhood.
Washington correspondent accuses Secretary Gage of exploiting Lincoln Day to push financial themes. The piece argues Gage misleads on war bonds and treasury loans, claiming he knowingly distorted facts to flatter banking interests and undermine the public memory of Lincoln.
The New Orleans item notes Gov. Foster’s choice of a street suit at a full dress ball, praising his plainness and courage. The Progress commends his stance against the dress coat, comparing him to Mr. Bailey who refused to bow to Washington Society on the same matter.
In a column on fashion, the author argues that current dress coats may be replaced by tighter, more unconventional styles as men seek to display confidence and modernity. The piece contemplates evolving silhouettes and the social signaling of dress in formal settings.
Honore Joe, the man who escaped St. Martinville jail by disguising as his wife, was apprehended in Houston Texas.
A column argues Congress must decide war with Spain, not sensational yellow journalism. It supports an investigation into the Maine explosion, defends the President’s handling, and urges restraint until truth emerges. The piece also covers proposed constitutional labor-hour regulation, Klondike entry rules with Canada, and Civil Service reform discussions. It notes Lovering and Walker push for labor-hour amendment, and notes Canada entrusts response to US concerns.
