The piece questions noble simplicity as a stronger symbol of power and durability than childish regal mimicry.
A Harper’s Bazar reflection on disguise in daily life. It describes shy performers and rogues who hide true selves behind mannerisms and borrowed opinions. The piece contrasts infantile simpers with educated affectations and notes such affectations expose poverty and gull the dullard.
In an interview with the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Staats Zeitung editor Hesing scolded new reporter Schmidt for not writing up a street fire he witnessed. Hesing, speaking in English when angry, ordered Schmidt to tell readers nothing if he had not seen the blaze himself. The incident humorously shows newsroom tension.
A Fulton Street dealer in birds and animals profits from selling chameleons as pets at two to five dollars each. Chameleons are said to feed on air and stay alive for months without food or water. Tame specimens accept small insects from owners and are kept in a divided box that makes them change color with each move.
Residents around the Hudson protest hyphenated post office names like Tarrytown-on-the-Hudson and Yonkers. The New York Tribune recalls New England style names and warns such additions mislead clerks and cause misaddressed mail, citing Pattagumpus-on-the-Penobscot as an example.
An old Washington Post joke about Ismail Hassam in Staumboul Turkey. A neighbor asks to borrow his donkey. Ismail retorts with a quip about the “key of me” and the neighbor ultimately finds the situation humorous, reflecting Wallace style humor.
A Brooklyn photographer explains the challenge of pleasing patrons in portrait work.

A related anecdote from New York highlights servant recruitment and cultural gaps during railroad travel, ending with a returned maid and ongoing domestic issues.
Williams invites friends and patrons to a seventh annual harvest home starting December 1, 1890 with meals for one hundred diners daily through May 1 at 25 cents.
