A reflective meditation on the violin as storyteller of past joys and sorrows. It imagines dances of powdered couples, princely troubles and beggar dreams, while lamenting time's taking of June roses and the buried history of vanished days.
In a Paris tale retold for the San Francisco Argonaut, a doctor recounts a hypnotism experiment tied to a man named Paul and his wife. A paper knife acts as a trigger for a fatal act, revealing a plot by the wife and a neighbor as their marriage is exposed.
A courtroom confrontation during a long-ago New York divorce case featured Orator Robert Ingersoll and Daniel Dougherty. Dougherty accused Ingersoll of falsehoods as he defended a husband, prompting a dramatic exchange before Judge Barrett and a shaken, responsive crowd. Both lawyers later shook hands, ending the sensational moment.
A veteran cavalryman explains that in the English cavalry a dismounted man should lie still to be passed over by troops without harm. He notes horses are alert to footing and a prostrate rider is unlikely to be stepped on. He adds that injuries from runaway horses usually come from being knocked down rather than being stepped on.
A French Trouville water spot spectacle draws laughter from dogs and owners. A white terrier of the Comte de Breteuil wore white doeskin leggings after mud, while a correspondent noted a pug with five different coats in heraldic embroidery.
A local business figure declines a prestigious city post saying wealth and status here suit him better than grandeur elsewhere. The piece then surveys the Shakespeare Bacon authorship debate, noting a theory that both men contributed to the plays. It lauds the American Association for the Advancement of Physical Education and its push for nationwide gymnastic standards. The article comments on racial politics in South Carolina, urging migration of some Black residents, and ends arguing that wealth and gifts impose duties, not privileges, on those who wield them.
The Forum notes Mr. Fletcher Osgood harshly criticizes American women voices as weak stridulous husky and silly while condemning male speech as monotone and repressed. He cites tobacco croak and a silly twist as flaws and asks what should be done, offering no clear remedy.
The piece attacks fashionable society as Olive Harper’s new book exposes. It claims brides marry for parade, a rich wife sells baby sacks for pin money, and horse show attendees seek status. The critic counters that many homes remain honest and vibrant despite such claims.
An OpEd-style critique condemns Anglo Armenian petitions urging European powers to appoint a Western European governor over Armenia. It ridicules the notion of Turkish Europeanness, questions who the 500 prominent Americans are, and mocks recent scientific “achievements” while urging candidates to stay quiet until the political field firms up.
