A Montgomery tale recounts the capture of James Chastain, alias Sutton, a suave burglar linked to multiple city thefts. He was cornered by Capt. John W. Martin after a chase through town, wounded by gunfire, and died with confessions and glamorous guise undone. Evidence tied him to jewelry thefts from Erie, Gulfport, and New Orleans routes, with valuables recovered.
An article surveys dream and sleep phenomena from superstition to science. It cites experiments by a French physiologist on sleep sensations, notes cases of dreams influencing behavior, and recounts dramatic episodes of sleep-driven terror among soldiers. It also discusses folk remedies and a satirical insert on health quackery and sensational cures.
Treasury clerks in Washington view a free high art display showing a clever silhouette revealed as paint is removed from a wall. A workman’s careful scraping yields a woman's head shape with bonnet details and a booted foot when the opposite end is exposed, all formed by painted holes and patching. The scene, noted by the Washington Star, is described as an accidental yet striking result of a wall scraper at work.
A discussion on air quality cites the need for vast volumes of clean air to avoid toxic respiratory impurities. A Detroit press clipping relays a parrot on Third Avenue that copied a scolding woman until the noise ceased, after which the bird sings again, regarded as a neighborhood peacemaker.
