Superstitions of Seamen and Obscure Nations Stir 1890s Columns
A compact digest from The Titonka Topic recounts Leslie's Weekly notes on seafaring superstition and ship fates like the Barbataoga and Cromartyshire, with Navy beliefs about hull luck, star designs on coins, and the Washington seal. It also covers Jewish assimilation and naturalization, Indiana statue debates beside Gov. Morton, Dahomey’s fall to French rule, and tribally organized coal and asphalt lease actions.
